How-To: Prepar3D + FSInn + FSCopilot Dear AVSIM-Community and P3D-users, In this tutorial I'll explain how to fool FSInn+FSCopilot so you can use these great tools within Prepar3D. As a VATSIM flyer I prefered these great tools of the FSFDT suite but didn't find a suitable way to get them work within P3D, yet. So I decided to explore this problem and how to fix it. Here's the solution :-) FSDT FSCopilot + FSInn in Prepar3D I have to assume that certain facts of installation and configuration are known. However, I have uploaded the necessary installation files for you. Download installation files FSFDT-Suite: Downloadlink FS Copilot --> SetupFSCopi…

Captains, I have a major issue with my sim that started last week, and I have tried numerous things to fix it but will not fix. So, I'm getting an average of 29 to 30 fps; however, I am now experiencing some really bad lag- stutters of about close to a second. Even if I decrease all settings to almost zero, they are still present. The funny thing is if I choose Windows Aero Theme it get's worst. If I choose Basic Theme some stutters go away but, then the entire scenery starts to jiggle (jello-like) when I pawn. (Like what I experienced a couple of months ago. The only tweak I have if Affinity Mask 85 on my Intel 6700K on Windows 7. So, not sure what is …

I would like to purchase FTX stand-alone region Australia and my question is whether I'm required to have FTX Global and FTX Vector to run stand-alone region. I use UTX for NA and Europe and very reluctant to switch to FTX Global Products. Also, how good/bad FTX regions on VAS usage? Thank you!

As the title states,is anyone having this issue? thanks.

I've been getting questions over at YouTube about how I align my views in the front / left / right monitors so I posted a how to, and thought it might be useful here as well. *** Many of the questions I get on my YouTube channel are about my screen setup and how I manage to get the images on the projector and side screens to align. I do it through custom cameras created using the custom camera tool in Prepar3d, and thought it might be helpful if I wrote a post here explaining my process. There are two ways you can use custom cameras in P3D. One is to create new camera views in a particular scenario. These will be saved in the scenario config file (which is sto…

Hi, Could someone who FTX Pacific Fiords installed email me, or reply, with a copy of their pakt.bgl files ? I want to compare my pakt.bgl files with them to eliminate any errors that might exist. Thanks a lot, Jack edit: removed email address from post

Hi I recently installed P3D and when i tried to install Uk2000 Heathrow it said that it could not find any p3d registry. Also none of the scenery i own are installing is it due to some corruption? any suggestion Thanks Edit: I realized i have not added them into the scenery library so Aerosoft Saarbrucken workedbut Uk2000 still does not work

I have ImagineSim's VHHH and it looks pretty good to me, but for those who have Taxi2Gate's VHHH, is it much better?

Unlike Rex textures program, it installs automatic to prepar 3D v2 Is there a way to install in V3?

Hello, I have the following problem, when i load P3DV3 i get this pop up window text: Vehicle initialization has failled, you will now be placed in visualization mode only. So i can not load any standard aircraft or not my PMDG ! How can i fix this ? Kind regards, Gilbert.

Please, please, PLEASE will some kind soul write an app like FSRecorder that works 'correctly' with P3D. I for one am willing to pay well over the odds for such an app!

Any ideas would be welcome. When I look on the web sites, most make no reference that they work in P3D. Would be especially interested in an F-15 that works in P3D, or any other recommendations.

I tweaked with my settings a little, but, when in the air, my FPS just drop insanely, from around 55 - 60, all the way down to 15 - 20FPS.

I would like to ask if EDDM from T2G is repaired fully and all reported issues are solved ? I remember there were issues with texturing, crossing bridges etc. Still on the fence of buying this one, but EDDM is my real life favorite & most often visited airport, so temptation is big :-)

I'm using P3D V3.2 and all my PAPI lights on all my payware airports are double from a distance. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0umkm6hm3cqh5eg/Photo%2015-05-2016%2C%2022%2002%2023.jpg?dl=0 Also happens on my default airports

I am at my wits end. I am trying to set up an additional monitor for the gauges and I am about to commit myself to a sanitarium. I have 2x 980 in sli driving a 4k monitor @ 3840 x 2160, and I have an additional Titan in the same computer driving a 1920x1080 monitor. No matter what I do, this does not work, the moment I move a guage over - BSD. How are the others doing it with a 4k and smaller monitors? I have been all over the internet and I had thought I had found the correct solution but all roads led me to the sanitarium.... Please help if you can, thank you. Nick

I had been working on an issue with effects with AI airline aircraft, and found that AI aircraft don't seem to appear when further than around 5 miles. I found several posts that seem to echo that finding. Just wondering if anyone else had noticed this with version 3.2?

I installed FTX Global with no issues today, but when I start a flight at night I don't see any 3d lightning on streets or cities. FTX Lightning is activated in FTX Central 2 but the rest seems to be fine.

Sometimes I wish I could view the aircraft land from ground view like at the airport boundary. It was possible to do this sort of thing in fs9 where tower view could be moved anywhere on the map, but this ability was omitted in fsx. Can something like that be done with camera functions available in p3d?

When I was using FSX, I found that there were too few stars in the sky. I used an addon that injected additional stars into the night sky. Now that I'm using P3D, it seems that there are plenty of stars, but the night sky is quite dark. It seems rather eerie when the sky is black above the Toronto skyline. Of course in the real world, you wouldn't see a star in the sky until you got several hours north of the city. I am wondering what, if anything, you guys are doing to get light in built up areas, or fewer stars in the sky. Perhaps I'm looking to get more out of the sim than it's capable of producing at the moment, or I'm interested in something here, that is just no…

I need some camera.cfg (or whichever file) window calculations help for a friend with three HDTV (1920x1080)monitors - separate non-virtual cockpit views(not Surround), on three monitors - but with the center one rotated 90 degrees. It will be used with mostly helicopter simulations so he wants more vertical FOV for the center view. We aren't sure whether to rotate the center view using the Nvidia control panel or just have a 90 degree rotation in the cameras.cfg file. I expect he wants about +-22.5 (45 total) horizontal degrees for the center view horizontal and maybe +-30 (60 total) horizontal degrees for each side view with a few degrees for the bezels. At one…

Hi all- I have a new, odd issue. Running P3D3.2.3 When in spot view, my aircraft (Milviz B58) will zoom forward and then fall back into place on an erratic basis. I had Opus installed a few weeks back and noted that when entering spot view running that software, spot view would always default to the rear of the aircraft. I have since stopped using it and removed it. Did Opus leave an altered camera definition behind? If so, is there a way to reset default camera definitions? I'm guessing here but have never had this problem before. Cheers, Mark

I've got a new large (1TB) SSD for system and now wish to consolidate some contents of two drives to one. I'd like to move my P3D installation from my F: drive to my E: drive without having to go through the headaches of rebuilding it from scratch. I'm thinking I can do a direct copy of the P3D folder from one drive to the other, then adjust the 'pointers' (shortcuts, registry entries? etc.) to point at the new location. Is this possible (I presume it is) and would it be fairly straight forward, or do I need to bite the bullet on this? The only other complication I can think of is that a couple of UTX regions installed into P3D also and would need to redirect the conf…

You guys all been following this development? (Essentially better LOD on lighting, which is key for night flying/realism) This new night light technology they will be rolling into all their products is a HUGE deal. Check the video and you'll see what I mean. This will hopefully bring the night flying experience much closer to par with the X-Plane world, where night lighting has long been one of their more distinct advantages. The lighting in the video is really great (I think). Video: OrbX Forum Link about it: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/114539-new-city-lights-tech-to-be-added-to-ftx-gen-olc-eu-na/
