The Prepar3d Forum

I can't seem to ;ocate a forum for the A2A products, so I will put the question here. Does anyone know if the A2A B-377 Stratocruiser for FSXwill work inP3D? Thanks.

I bought P3D yesterday, and when I looked through the settings, I could not find my Nvidia 870M-card, only the integrated Intel HD 4400 - a problem which I didn't have with FSX. I launched the Nvidia control panel and changed the main graphic card for P3D to the Nvidia-card. When I launched P3D again, the area where the selected aircraft is shown were black. I didn't think so much about it, and started a flight just to test. When it finished loading, I could hear engine sounds, that also changed when I tried different views and adding more thrust, but all I could see was black. When I changed back to the Intel-card everything worked as normal again. I have tried to inst…

Hello, So when i tried to install edzok and successfully setup everything and it seem to be working until when i load the plane i can't look around using the middle button. I use windows 10 and p3d v3.3

I started up P3D tonight and got a message about updating object flow module. What is that?

My speed brake keeps extending on its own accord.... it happens with all my aircraft.... i have fsuipc.... would could be causing it

I have a question for anyone with P3D v 3.2 not 3.3, the latest EZCA, the latest Track IR, the latest ASN, and Saitek's SSI. This is intermittent. Is there a certain start sequence for some of these? Do I start P3D first, then Track IR, then ASN? It seems sometimes EZCA will not work with Track IR on, my views will not change with Saitek button presses until I shut down Track IR. But when I re-engage it it prevents me from using those buttons assigned to my yoke and quadrant. It's very odd. I have made a complete list of ALL the Button assignments and printed it out as well as a complete list of keys used in EZCA and keys used in SSI. They all me…

Hello I am currently using FSX:SE with the following addons: - REX 4 Weather Architect - REX 4 Texture Direct - Orbx FTX Global - My Traffic X 6.0a Unfortunately the various visual issues with FSX are just killing the realism, and having become accustomed to the graphics in more advanced sims like X-plane 10 the problems with performance and visuals in FSX just don't cut it anymore. I'm therefore considering switching to P3D v3 instead, although I want to make sure this would actually be an upgrade. Any general feedback as to whether the shift is worth it? Some specific concerns I have are regarding GPU and multi-core CPU utilisation, have these…

Hi I just reverted to 3.2 after trying 3.3. Works great in Orbx Socal. I haven't re-installed FTX Global yet. FTX Central seems to be up to date. However, I took a trip (out of the region) to KLAS and there I have Airfield Elevation problems (like you can get with Orbx Vector). BUT I don't have Orbx Vector installed on my computer! Can anyone please suggest how to fix this please? Thanks Dean

Has anyone been able to get the above working in P3D?. I put the simple sun mod and the enb sky textures in the required folders and it all looks fantastic through dawn to dusk, by far the most realistic I've seen in P3D yet. However I did a flight at night last night and the clouds were absolutely glowing white aswell as the mist. As soon as I remove the mods it goes back to how it should be. Has anyone else experienced this or found a work around?. Regards, Joe

Hi, I considering buying a second GTX 970 for my rig. Will the benefit be of any significance, or?

Been wondering about this for a while so I thought I'd ask. I have about 30 or so sceneries in P3D. Most of them stay disabled (via SimStarter) since I only load them in smaller regional profiles....Eastern US, Central US, Western US, Europe, Pacific, Caribbean or New York City (yes, the city is in it's own little world)...wherever I'm flying, that's what's enabled. But, I'm noticing that the more scenery I have the longer the splash screen stays up. The load time is pretty descent once I select my aircraft and click OK. I'm just wondering...is it scanning all that disabled scenery during the splash screen time?

After researching the benefits of Prepar3d I decided to purchase and convert. In the research I did do, there were discussions about how well add-ons performed etc and most indications were that the add-ons performed well but for whatever reason, in all of the reviews I read, I never caught the point that for a growing number of add-ons the publishers are making the business decision to require a complete repurchase of their product to use in Prepar3d. Here's the breakdown for the products I use the most: PMDG NXG 737 - $89.99 PMDG 777 - $134.99 A2A Cessna 182 Skylane - $49.99 Flight 1 FTN 750 $ 64.95 Real Air Turbine Duke - $0.00 (no need to repurchase…

Just today noticed that when i switch off volumetric fog then low level clouds are gone. Enabling volumetric fog brings low level clouds back. Strange is'n it ? ( P3D 3.2, P3D default clouds )

Hello guys, After clean reinstall Win 10 64 bit + Prepar3D 3.3 + Orbx Base, Vector and LC, i have this problem. I try to reinstall Orbx, delete scenary index, delete shaders. I have all sliders in prepar3D to max. I don't have anything put in cgf. I use i7 5930K with GTX 1080 Any advice is welcome Thank you

I for one and very grateful to LM for saving flightsims future.think back to not so long ago when MS flight was released and Failed miserably. the talk all over the FS forums was,That's it!! no more flight sims,we're stuck with FSX and all it problems forever,no more updates just more OOM's more ctd's more inflight lockup's after flying for 3hrs on final.all these things i suffered with for what must be ten years.then came Flight and i thought woah here we go i'm saved.30 secs after installing i was shot down in flames. Now were riding high.Prepared 3.3 has raised the bar for me along with Pe11e and PTA it now looks incredible.the best flightsim i've ever owned. So ple…

Hi all After P3Dv3.3 release last June 1st, all related forums are full of complaints about compatibility issues with "old scenery" that did not meet the P3D SDK standard and also a lot of P3D crashes due to OOMs. In the meantime, a lot or probably almost all users rolled back to P3Dv3.2. Why don't LM roll back itself into v3.2 and postpone the release to allow for a more solid v3.3 version in few weeks?. That would imply posting v3.2 again in the P3D download section, just for the licensees that paid for the product and unfortunately did not have in hand a backup of the previous v3.2. Again, I'm convinced that this past v3.3 release was a huge technical and marketing …

TFDi did a livestream showing off a full flight in the pre-beta version of their Boeng 717. It looks amazing so far! The connected flight deck feature looks particularly nice. https://www.twitch.tv/tfdidesign/v/71524228

Hi, I just installed P3dv3 and track it is not working. It is working fine in v2. I installed the redist sim connect files (rtm, sp1, sp2-xpack) in the v3 directory. Also installed v3 sdk kit. This is a clean install of v3 (I don't have ezca or anything like that). Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Brett

Interesting observation I made now. I have never edited my prepar3d.cfg file. I deleted (or rather moved) the file to allow the sim to rebuild a fresh one for some minor problem solving. I then closely compared the two files (new and old). I noticed that the original one has the HIGHMEMFIX=1 entry under [GRAPHICS], yet the newly rebuilt one does not? Maybe it is because I just entered the sim on the ground for a minute and did not go flying, but curious nevertheless as surely this would be generated as part of the base cfg. I will check to see if the sim adds it later but if not, maybe I must add it back manually. Or, maybe a bug and everyone that has ever rebuilt…

I'm somewhat new to the whole scenery scene ( ) in FSX/Prepa3D and the Orbx line of products confuses me a bit. I have purchased the So Cal Terrain pack as that is where I live and am learning to fly. Would an addition purchase of Global Vector and/or OpenLC and/or Global Base effect the So Cal area, or are those things already included in the So Cal package (at least localized versions of vector and OpenLC). Any help appreciated. Thanks! Paul

Hi folks. My problem is that when at an airport (taxing, takeoff or approach to land), my flight is not smooth, smooth-stuck(slow down)-smooth-stuck(slow down) cycle. Don't know if this is what all of you call stuttering, but definitely not smooth. This is not only when banking and looking out of the cockpit 45 degrees, but duing taxing too. Very evident when accelerating down the runway during takeoff. This is at add-on Frankfurt, Berlin, etc. so I understand that any large add-on airports can stress any system plus a PMDG NGX using TrackIR and ASN. Framerate (displayed on top left corner of my screen) shows anywhere between 20 - 35 but this phenomena occurs. …

FTX Central was updating itself, combining FTX Global Layers, and then appeared to lock up. It now shows there's an update available won't download it. It's just frozen. Not only that, but whenever I attempt to go to the website I can't get there. Internet Explorer wants to open a file, or something like that. Is there a problem with the site? Thanks.

Ok i have tried everything, since installing OLC EUROPE ontop of base global base, my terrain has gone all patchy messed up tiles. I have tried apply group, got the both addons in the correct layout in scenery.

Can't load FTX Forum web page ! Can you ?

Does anyone know which folder the textures for ORBX static aircraft are in? Mainly the textures for GA aircraft. Dave.
