To the left of those 2 hangars on the other side of the runway, there should be an Atlantic FBO building. I love this scenery but this is a pretty big part missing. Matt John

Hi All, Has anyone successfully used LatinVFR Cozumel or Sangster Int'l in P3D V3? I'm always hesitant to use FSX scenery in P3D, although I know that there is a decent success rate. As a matter of fact, is there any quality scenery that has not been officially published for P3D that folks are able to use successfully? All the best, HM

I am doing my first flight with AS16 and I am very disappointed with the haze. See my topic here: http://www.avsim.com/topic/492493-i-still-get-an-awfully-looking-haze/ Since the AS16 option to disable the default haze doesn't seem to work I was wondering if someone knows a way to manually disable the default haze in P3D? I don't know if that will solve the problem but I am willing to try anything to get rid of this utterly awfully looking haze. Or maybe I should go back to flying the Airbus LOL, which also a kind of solution, but I feel like flying GA again after flying the Airbus for ages. And flying low and slow through these kinds of haze walls all the time is killing…

I have jost noticed something about the ATIS messages in P3D v3.3.5. If (for example) this is stated as "ATIS information Delta......", the associated message to Ground frequency will be ".....with Echo". I am pretty sure that they should both be identical. Has anyone else noticed this? It happens every single time that I start a flight. Not exactly an Earth shatteringly disastrous issue, but puzzling nonetheless.

While looking for grund texture for FS2004 I came across Orbx Global textures for FS2004. Are these legal because I have Orbx Global. Now I might be an ahole in Orbx eyes but I'm not a pirate. If these are illegal I'll go for with FS Scene. Noel

Hey guys! I'm planning on buying a new computer, partly for Prepar3d (v2.5, going to be upgraded). I was thinking about following components, as I'm still on a certain budget: - Intel i7 6700K - Asus Z170-K Mainboard - GeForce GTX 960 4GB - 250 GB Samsung SSD - 1 TB Hard Drive - 600W PSU - Water Cooling. Cost: €1100. My main concerns are the GPU and the mainboard. I want to play P3d with addons like the Aerosoft A318/319 or A2A GA Aircraft on high settings with at least 30 pfs, among that I will also use the PC for CAD work, video editing and music production. Therefor the question: Should I invest in like a GTX970 (which is even older than the 960) …

...then blame the 3rd party developers, not LM. Sorry guys but blaming LM for this issue is simply wrong and ignorant. 3rd party developers who still code for FS2002 should be ashamed of themselves if they claim that their software is anywhere near P3D compatible. Come on guys, it's been 15 years. That's fifteen. You really expect P3D to move forward and at the same time keep compatibility with 3rd party software that is developed for a 15 year old SDK? Either the 3rd party developer should tell you "sorry, no P3D support". Or, they fix their broken stuff. Yes, it's their stuff that's broken, not LM. If a scenery/addon isn't developed anymore, you can't expect it to c…

​Hi all, If you are using Nahimic sound enhancer from MSI with P3D, be aware that for some reasons my GPU usage is 20% higher and my FPS is lower with the app's running (see below). I just need to right click the small down right icon and click exit and voila ! Better FPS, and less stutters. Note : The sounds remains good (enhanced) even with the application closed.

Hi Guys, More a question than a problem but since installing UT2 into P3D Ver 3.2 when i start the sim i get the following message pop up There was a problem starting D:\ Prepar3D The specified module could not be found clicking ok starts the sim with no apparent issues but when I close down again the message comes back. Any idea's please??

Does anyone know if it is possible to use Ivona or other sapi voices in the default atc? The default voices are becoming a bit boring. Thanks

I posted this over at the Aerosoft forums but never got any replies so I'll have a go here and see if anyone else has this issue. The green centerline lights and the red stop bar lights at ENTO using Aerosofts Torp - Sandefjord X v1.02 are almost invisible. At high angles I can see them barely flickering through the taxiway texture. I have spent a lot of time trying to find a fix for this, but I'm almost ready to write this off as the scenery not being 100% compatible with P3D v3.3.5. It's not marked as P3D v3 compatible so that might very well be the case. It's a minor issue for sure, but it kind of bugs me a little since everyting else works like a charm :smile: …

Anyone else also experience slugginess running with FTX Global, FTX Vector, FTX openLC, FTX Southern California Region, FSDT KLAX, Active Sky Next, REX TD & Soft Clouds and PMDG 777 with Prepar3D? Even with normal moderate settings in P3D, this area is extremely slow. I'm wondering what will make the FTX Southern California region faster to fly in. I'm wondering if its because of the combination of all the add-ons in this area, or just some of the add-ons?

Hi, I do most of my flying out of RAF Brize Norton as it's a cheap place with a long runway and ILS in AirHauler. However, I've noticed that I never see any AI traffic on the ground or taking off or landing there. Is that just because I don't have suitable models loaded for military traffic in the UK (I have the default P3D v3.3 aircraft plus the PMDG 737, MJC Q400 and the new C47), or does P3D just not model military traffic? All my traffic sliders are set to 100%. If P3D doesn't model military traffic, is there an addon that works with v3 that would add it? Many thanks Graham

Hello everyone, I have P3D v2.5 with ORBX Global + Vector + Open LC installed. Everything works very well, the only matter is that the Road traffic is not on the Road but offroad. Than when I'm flying I can see the cars driving on the fields... This is not a big issue, but if I can resolve it it would be much better... :-) Maybe I could find a solution there... Ludo

Since I've updated CENTRAL and libraries I now have trees over most airports and houses and other objects all over KSEA and other airports in the Pacific NW. It's just a mess and I've tried reinstalling PNW and other known remedies but nothing works. Any ideas? Thanks, Stan

I don't seem to be able to make any jetways work. They are visible, but just don't move. In previous flight sims (FSX, FSX-SE), there has been an option to include advanced animations within settings, but in P3D 3.35, that doesn't seem to exist. I have scenery complexity on extremely dense, special effects detail & distance on high. I have checked the shortcut and that is correctly configured. The airports I have tried, are default P3D airports, FSDreamTeam & Taxi2Gate airports. The aircraft is correctly positioned at the gate. I'm stuck and would welcome any suggestions. Rob P.

Hi Been trying for a fue days to reinstall P3D, Dont get it working?? Had some help from P3D support, but still not working, Proberbly me not understanding what to do......

Hi all, I fired up P3D tonight to have a go at some circuits around St Maarten and found that the ground texture seems to be bleeding through the taxiway texture. I have tried the scenery library and changing settings to no avail. I have no addon scenery installed in this region, with the exception of FTX Global. See here: Since the search bar seems to have disappeared temporarily (one hopes), I was unable to see if this had been posted before. Regards to all.

Does anyone have any idea on why the letters on the menu bar are missing or squished together like that? Please check the pic. Thanks

I have Prepar3d v3, all was well with W7. I have just upgraded to W10 and, as expected, have had my share of problems. Saitek Pro Flight controls was one of them. Problem was solved by FAQ over at Madcatz. Another problem I’m having is this; I’m not able to edit aircraft CFG files in order to install liveries. When I go to save I get the message; “You don’t have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission”. Everything I have installed in P3D has been “Run as Administrator” so I am at a loss to know why this is now an issue. I’m sure there is an easy solution but I’m at my wits end trying to find it. Is there a …

In case anyone's not heard, the long awaited virtual vintage cockpit for Manfred Jahn's C47 is out (in beta officially) over @ SOH. Not sure if links to other sites are allowed, if not mods please delete this: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=34&linkid=21645 The site is a little bit busy at the moment...

As the title says, thinking about buying this aircraft. Done some research and all seems good as far as anything written goes. There's not a lot of YouTube videos though. Not that this means anything. Just has me wondering, is there maybe something better out there for a GA twin other than RealAir dukes(already have them)? Looking for good quality stuff. Not just a pretty painting that one popular company makes. Thanks for any advice.

is there a better ENB series for p3d v3 as the one for the game makes the water to light.

Took these last night to compare all the stock ASCA themes, with a couple of comparisons of REX textures mixed in. And here's the same scene with REX Soft Clouds (texture theme generated based on local weather): Finally, this with AS16 + REX Cumulus texture: And this after loading the ASCA textures:
