The Prepar3d Forum

Hi All, Ok, as a result of some ongoing web server issues, I have moved my product to an online provider, such as the same one Ant Davison uses for his New Zealand photo scenery. You can purchase NZ Scenery Autogen from here. www.nzscenery.co.nz More info will be added to market the product. Regards, Kelvin

Hello all, I originally posted this in the 'Hardware Controllers | Joysticks | Drivers' forum and got no response. I wonder if it was in the right forum? Anyhow, I though best to try this forum..... Apart from other add-on’s/equipment, I have been using primarily: P3Dv3, PMDG 737, with one Saitek Radio panel. I just invested in a second radio panel and I’m not sure how to integrate it with the first, for which I’m using the SPAD driver (after a nightmare with Saitek’s own!). SPAD doesn't pick up the second. Should I be using FSUIPC or perhaps an alternative? Can anyone pass on any tips or ideas please? As ever, it will be much appreciated! Thanks!

Thought I'd try making the switch to Prepar3D Pro since the FSL A320 Pro will be a Prepar3D exclusive, and I'm appalled by the performance I'm seeing given the same exact settings... I'm gonna go ahead and assume I've done something terribly wrong in the set up process. Can anyone think of what that might be? Linked below are in-game screenshots I've taken at KBFI, in-game sliders matched as closely as possible (with the exception of hardware tessellation), fair weather, system time, and the default Maule aircraft. No mods installed on either sim. P3D averages 65 FPS, FSX:SE averages 120 FPS. http://imgur.com/a/gfkIv

Hello everyone, I recently installed FTX England and i have noticed that UK2000 airports are merging with default. I checked online to find a solution and i found out that deleting, ADE_FTX_ENG_EGCC.BGL and FTX_ENG_EGCC_objects.bgl from the ORBX\FTX_EU\FTX_EU_ENG_05_SCENERY\scenery Should fix it, however for EGKK i was still left with 2 control towers but jetways and terminal buildings were gone, i did the same for Heathrow but nothing changed and GSX wouldn't work because I removed the ADE file for EGLL as seen above. I haven't tried for other UK2000 airports. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks

You should place Orbx Global Airports below all your FX airports, and if you have Yosemite installed, place it right after that entry. When it is in that position, you won't have any conflicts (elevation...craters, other anomalies ....for if you have a custom airport that is also included in the Global North America, or Europe, the custom paid-for, will take precedence in loading, and the Global airport will never conflict to cause visual problems. P.S., this should also be done in any of your P3D installations as well. Tip out...

I've just found that there are exe.xml and dll.xml files in each of the following folders: C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Preap3D v3\ and C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3Dv3\ These files have different content in each pair. Do I need to merge them? Where should they reside per P3D folder/file system? Can I remove the ones that are in the wrong place? (Weird, but P3Dv3.3.5 seems to work just fine here). Thanks, Dirk. PS: I'm afraid they were placed by some installers there

Until P3D 3.1 Lee Hetherington's TCAS II v7 IVSI and Transponder gauge was compatible with P3D. Something changed in 3.2 and since then the transponder appears just as a brown background rectangle without any functions. The IVSI works but in Squawk Standby mode. DOWNLOAD: http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=&Name=&FileName=ilh_tcas_v4.zip I know ... its from FS2004 era but ... it still worked fine in P3D 3.1 well and it is a VERY useful gauge in implementing TCAS and Transponder with Mode C, Standby & Ident in old aircraft add on's which have analogue gauges. This enables pilots flying on line (VATSIM & IVAO) to have in cockpit Squawk and TCAS c…

Hello, I'm used to fly at my girlfriend's desktop and in my own computer at my home. It is allowed to have the same license installed in two different computers for my personal use? Thanks

Hi all, KLAR is an Orbx Global Freeware airport. Files in question is ADE_FTX_FTXG_KLAR.BGL and ADE_FTX_FTXG_KLAR_CVX.BGL in P3Dv3.3.5. No parking spots, not even for fuel. This is an Orbx built AFCAD and they do a good job even on their freeware scenery. I'm wondering if this is the way they built it, or did the upgrade/migration mess with it? TIA

Hey guys, sorry, I know this may not be the right subforum. But as there is no Aerosoft forum..... I'd like to point your eyes to a thread in the Aerosoft forum. Emanuel created a nice texture pack for the Bus! http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/files/file/4003-airbus-a320-a321-2048px-hd-virtual-cockpit/ I already installed it and it is really good. I saw it "by accident" looking for a Swiss livery. I hope you guys enjoy it. Emanuel gives it away for free but asks for a little donation. The hard work should be honored. Best regards, Stefan

Is EMT (ver. 3.2.0.1011) still valid with P3D v3.3.5? I´m asking here because their forum is down some time now and they don´t answer support tickets anymore. I´m trying to know this before installing EMT. Any hint would be great. Thanks.

I'm trying to install with the newest v3 installers into p3d v3.1. I keep getting these errors: 1) an error occured while executing install action #150. Installation will be rolled back, 2) access to the path prepar3d pilrem.exe was denied. I'm hesitant to use Pilots' site as I appears it may be hacked. Has anyone encountered these issues?

Is anyone noticed in v3 there being a crap load of airplanes with Ai settings turned down. I currently backed mine down to 10% and it seems real crowded.

A personal perspective on one aspect of flight simulation. Looking out the window at the scenery has long been a portion of flight simulation. However, both Google and Microsoft have been mapping the world with both aerial and ground level photography. The public can now get a quite good aerial view and a very good view at ground level. I can tour London or Peoria, IL USA. With no flight simulation I can fly over both and with little effort, and no cost, "drive" the streets of each, and come away with an experience that is close to being there. I recently revisited Ecuador and found the hotel I stayed at in Quito. Wow did it look different. The beaches of Rio seem to have…

My PMDG 738's wheels and jetway wheels are going underground as you can see at this screenshot: My sim is P3Dv3 and I'm using FTX Vector - Global Base - OpenLC Europe. Thanks for your answer - Kanuncu (Sorry for my english )

I have PreciptFX and it's better than default, believe me. But I don't want to see rain at all and I think it would feel more realistic. I want the wet ground and everything, I just don't want to see rain drops.

I have two problems with Orbx now. [1] no scenery for either the land or water facilities at PasI [ Sitka]. {2] I still cannot use the Orbx forums in Central 2, I'm told it is still down for maintenance ,

Hi I was wondering if anyone has disabled the default scenery folders,what the issues might be? I have orbx global,vector and europe land class,so I wondered as this is supposed to replace the textures etc what the effect would be by disabling the default scenery has anyone tried it and if so does it reduce load time much? what might the disadvantages be Thanks

I know this is an issue that many of us have...Seattle, Toronto, San Francisco. Trouble is, large cities is, often, where the nicer airports are, right? (Most of the worst ones are around large bodies of water and I wonder how much that has to do with it.) I'm guessing I'm reaching here but I think it's worth at least talking about. I typically do very basic things. turn sliders down some. turn some traffic down. turn off Vector. I always run 512K clouds. I wonder what else, if anything, people do to make performance/VAS better.

Hi any one Who can guide me why shadow play is greyed out using both newest and 368.22 drivers with Windows 10 64 bit. I have tried DDU in safe mode but nothing works. I know it worked at some point without the sound recorded but lately it just not avaible. Thanks Michael Moe

Hi. I've been having a problem since p3d v3.2 whereby after using time accel greater than 4x speed. The game crashes. This happens using even the default aircraft and default scenery. It doesn't usually happen the first time. For example when doing a long haul flight i may use time accel to around 8x but slow down to make start a decent. Its completely ruined the sim for me since 3.2 came out. I did start a topic on the official forum but to no luck. I have now done a factory restore of my pc but the problem still exists. If anyone could assist please? thanks

Hello. Since I'm new to this forum, I didn't really know where to put this tread, but since I'm using Prepar3D, I put it here. Acually a pretty simple question, Is there any way to increase the traffic density on World of AI (WOAI)? Of course I tried to increase traffic density within the normal P3D setting, with no luck. Any Ideas? -Ivar

I run out of VAS on almost every PMDG 777 overseas flight. I fly those with no add-on scenery (except UTX and FS Global 10 if that counts). I have all traffic off, so that's not it. I have a decent system: Intel 6700K running at 4.5, 16 GB of Trident ran, GTX 970, etc. Prepar3D has its own SSD. Am currently running 3.5, but have had the same issue since I started using Prepar3D at 3.0. I run Windows 10 64. There's a lot of advice about how to set up Prerar3D out for respected sources such as Nick N., Ron Ainscough, etc. Which I've read and followed, but still have the issue. My question is (finally), which setting (graphics, scenery, lighting, …

JV has just started a thread in the general section of the ftx forum quoted from the thread itself from jv We need to know if you have any third party (non Orbx) addons installed that are landclass related, such as: UTX Scotflight Any other landclass product or As I said above, if disabling any non-Orbx products in the scenery library fixes the issues, please list them here also. One common way to debug problems is to disable ALL non-Orbx scenery in the scenery library, do a check flight in the problem area, then re-enable each non-Orbx scenery one by one and re-test the problem area So you need to go to the…
