Hi, First problem: So I went on installing Reshade and applying a preset using the Mediator-tool and while loading up P3D (3.2.3), it looks like the shader gets implied in-game but still I get the error message: D:\Prepar3D v3.2\SweetFX\Shaders\SMAA.h(665, 9): error X3019: if statement conditional expressions must evaluate to a scalar If this message somehow disappeared I would't mind, but it won't so, anyone seen this before? Second problem: When starting up TrackIR with Reshade enabled, P3D crashed (CTD) with a Kernelbase.dll fail. Usually this error is connected to GPU drivers, but I have updated to latest Nvidia Driver with no luck. I've seen other…

I have flashing static aircraft (FTX Global and FSDT) and cranes (ORBX SC). Windows 10, P3D 3.2 and then 3.35. Using latest Nvidia driver.

Released an hour ago. One post stated that it fixed the user's migration issues. There appears to also be a new Central version that has a FORCE MIGRATION button under the Trouble Shooting section. I'm waiting until I read that there are many others that now have a pristine and blurry-free/ Land Class error-free Migration to unified LC. Information Capture for those not able to access the forum: Hi all, Orbxlibs 160708 is now available and with it the updated files to fix missing unifiedLC textures. This update will rectify morphing issues that have been reported. To update, please do the following: Step 1. Ensure you have the latest version o…

Hi All, I'm trying to add Javier's Carrier to P3D v3.35. I have it installed, but I have been unable to edit the EXE.XML file to add the necessary entries for the carrier. For whatever reason, when I go to save the edited results from NotePad, the saved file gets corrupted and does not look anything like what it should. Is Notepad the correct tool, or should I be using something else? Bill lark

Hi. Is it just me, or does the runway lights look kinda blurry? Is there a setting inside P3D which can make them more sharp and crisp? Or something else i can change?

I discovered that when I fly the GTN 650 with the A2A Cessna 172, I can fly a normal ILS with LOC and GS using the upper OBI indicator on the panel. When I try and do this with the A2A 180 Cherokee, and I set the LOC frequency in the GTN, the freq in the lower Nav 2 radio changes to the LOC frequency, and that lower OBI indicator only has one needle that tracks the LOC, but no glideslope indicator. The only time the upper OBI indicates is when the GTN 650 is switched to the GPS mode, then the upper OBI indicator comes alive. My question is to anyone that has both the A2A Cherokee and the GTN 650-750, is this normal for that particular aircraft?

I noticed that P3D is looking great even without using nvinspector. Is it not needed anymore? I remember when I had to use nvinspector for FSX and earlier versions of P3D to get it to look nice. But recently I started noticing that this isn't the case anymore and that P3D looks excellent without the need for nvinspector. Also I have not touched or modify my prepar3d.cfg file at all, and things seem to be running pretty well. Are those AM, DISABLEPRELOAD, BUFFERPOOL tweaks no longer necessary?

I just bought AS16 and ASCA and installed it in P3D v3.3.5 and all seems to work fine, except for the one black cloud right above my head. The skies above Vancouver are pretty clear, at the moment, a white cloud here and there, no sign of rain, no wind, perfect day to fly and then that one, completely black (not dark grey but really black) cloud, like I'm using rubber for fuel. With the aircraft moving, the black color jumps from cloud to cloud, according to which one is right above me and it follows me around this way. What I can do to fix this?

OK I have the latest version of Central V2 (2.1.6031.32439) and have downloaded the latest libraries (160708) and installed them. Then ran Migration tool which worked successfully, rebooted and ran it again. Flew from Rome to Amsterdam and for 30 mins it all looked good but then the total blurries began again on descent to AMS. What is going on - In the Scenery Library the FTX is above OLC. I did speed up the sim to 4X for 10 minutes would that have caused it?

For those who own both products, which is the better of the two when it comes to using pushback?

Greetings all, I was wondering if anyone's using the said programs successfully and could share his/her's configuration for smooth operation. Thanks in advance. Paul.

I finally took the plunge and moved up (I hope) from FSX to Prepar3d v3 yesterday and I have a few questions. First: What is the migration tool supposed to do? I purchased a copy and read the manual and I'm still confused about what it actually does. Second: I have a Saitek throttle quadrant and, for some reason, P3d seems to see it as some kind of steering device and I can't get it work. Works just fine in FSX. Third: I have a lot of Orbx scenery in FSX. Is it necessary to reinstall the whole thing (global, vectors, airports, etc.) in P3D? Or, is that something the migration tool is supposed to help with?

http://secure.simmarket.com/final-approach-simulations-kewr-newark-liberty-international-airport-fsx-p3d.phtml Just found this on simmmarket I am wondering if anyone has tried it and if so what are your thoughts. I have to say the Jetways are huge realism killer for me. They look fake.

Hi all, I come to you with my head in my hands... After taking off for a long haul flight, only to wake up to a .NET error and my sim being shut down, I decide to reach out. I've restarted my computer, and decided to run P3D V3 just once more with different addons. However, the .NET framework error is back.. Here's what it reads-- "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. Input string was not in a correct format" Now, this error has popped up with my REX Essential Plus Application... Any idea what th…

Hi! Im not using any addons of traffic. I have only imported airplanes and trafficroutes myself. I always thought i had the settings right, but today i looked at it again. Airline traffic density - Is that the one that supposed to be on 100% to get all the routes working? Because i had a look at General aviation traffic density and when hoovering the mouse over the slider it says 'move the slider to adjust personal aircraft traffic volume on the ground and in the air'. I have the last one on 15%. So what are the differences between those two?

Beta testers, posting in the AVSIM Forums, should make everyone aware of your affiliation(s) in your signature so our membership can see where you are coming from when posting. In the past we asked developers to let us know if they are developers so members can see the individuals affiliation when posting. We never did this for beta testers but, ethically and morally, letting our membership know who you represent or work for should be included in your signature. Beta testers should be proud to show they are beta testing products! I have seen a lot of outstanding banners in signatures showing the product with the words "Beta Tester" inside. That's a good idea but I am…

I just started flying my C 172 this week after many months of only flying commercial passenger jets. I have the Mindstar 530 GPS, and tried programming flight plans into it and many of the waypoints to even appear. So I purchased a years subscription of Real Nav Data thinking that maybe the database is too old, and same exact issue is the result, which makes this GPS totally useless for flying with Pro ATC or any other flight plan generators. I see others have posted the same issue on the Mindstar forum. Now my question is, does anyone know of a better GPS that will work in the C 172 and be able to use common waypoints in the flight planning?

I think I am hearing all the sounds except the engine sounds in this aircraft. Do they have to be installed separately? Thanks, Howard

Could someone please help? My fps start decreasing after take off and during the flight. For example: start at EHRD with around 40fps ending at EHGG with around 8fps. My system: i5, 2xssd, gtx970 p3d v3.3 NL2000 (no difference when I turn this off) Realair Duke Turbine (no difference when I use default Piper) Thanks for helping

Hey all, I think the subject is pretty clear. But to clarify, is there any software out there for P3D V3 that is high quality and allows you the ability to complete long haul missions. Is PMDG's 777 the only verified P3D long haul aircraft? Has anyone got any FSX aircraft to work well in P3D (Captain Sim, Lvl D, etc.) Looking for 757, 767 models specifically, but open to A330/A340 models as well. Thanks guys, HM

So for the longest time(probably some 15 years at least), I have always rebooted my pc in between each and every flight that I do to avoid any issues. In the past, this was to avoid issues with Windows resources/performance. Then, since FSX, to save/recover VAS as Windows 7 has gotten better than MS previous OSes with managing its own resources. But, now, with P3Dv3, I'm really questioning if I should continue this practice. I've already done multiple legs without reboots in non-complex or low VAS demanding aircraft and default scenery with no noticeable issues. I'm curious to know others experience though with doing this in say the PMDG NGX and each leg containin…

I've never seen this before. I thought it had something to do with HDR, but it was still like this with HDR turned off. Does anyone know? Edit: It seems like its only showing up at night with PMDG 737 loaded. Those weird lights are gone when loading a different aircraft.

Hi Is there anyway to completely turn off Orbx lights, I want to see if Taburet night lights is better as my fps flying into EGCC at night was 19fps Thanks Alex

WX Advantage Weather Radar! Good all! purchase WX Advantage Weather Radar more to install the same on the aircraft in the same P3DV3 open only a black screen! someone with the same problem or a solution? grateful for the attention
