Hi Just installed p3dv3 for the first time and a bit confused. In settings/ world should I see a scenery library as all I have is three tabs realism,time and date,weather. Thanks for any help Brian

A week went by rebuilding my PC and installing the new SSD drive for P3Dv3.2. 75% done and a new image created (double checking that i only have one active drive in disk management) and it was about time to do a testflight in the PMDG 777 with REX ,ASN etc. I planned for a CYYZ-Toronto - CYUL -Montreal - short 1 hour flight and was amazed about the quality of graphics and smoothness. Also Flytampa CYYZ had some problems dealing with the area and i always had to have scenery complexity down to sparse or off to get fps above 20-25 (at least with FSX) Now it is performing really well and i had about 25-35fps on the ground with pretty high settings and maxed …

Hi I have Global Base, Global Vector, Open LC Europe, HD Trees plus Ftx Scotland and England. I had FSX Deluxe SP2 and everything was perfect. I removed Sp2 and installed Acceleration pack and now all my scenery is haywire. No roads and land out of place in rivers,vehicles in fields etc. I removed Acceleration and reinstalled SP2 and am back to FSX DeLuxe SP2 but the scenery is still a mess. Should I remove and reinstall all Orbx stuff? If so how do I remove it? Is there a correct way. Thanks for any advice. John

Hello all I have read in several forums, that when upgrading to P3d v3.2.3, Orbs might be affected. How can you tell? I can't see any difference, but then again I don't know what to look for Could do a re-install just to be on the safe side, but I'd rather not. This was also posted in Prepar3d forum, hope "double-posting" is allowed. Best regards

I bought MT6 off of simmarket today. installed it and it brings my frames down from 30 to 10. I turn my traffic sliders down to 0 and frames go up to 15. Performance doesn't increase until I disable the MT6 entry in the simobjects.cfg file. Any solutions? This happens at all the big airports. with PMDG airplanes and the default f22. Im very disappointed.

Hi, I have some local scenery i want to use in latest version V3.2. Which map should it be placed into ? There is no Addon scenery map present any more in the root map. The scenery exists out of 1 bgl file.Do i have to create some extra maps also ? Thx.

The P3D V3.0 works fine for me, but the V3.2 has some "microstutters" that mess all the experience... Can I have both installed in the same computer? Thanks

Just wondering if anyone has noticed a difference in foliage after upgrading the scenery from 3.1 to 3.2. I haven't read any comments on the effect of this change and wondering if it is worth it or not.

Looking to make the switch over to jets, but just looking for something small. The big boys don't appeal much to me. Been loving my Diamond DA-42 from Alabeo, but looking for more power.

I have P3D 3.1 now and instead of upgrading I have been thinking about doing a clean install to my D: drive since my C: drive is slowly filling up. Other than uninstalling P3D and deleting the folders LM says to (per http://www.prepar3d.com/frequently-asked-questions/), is there anything I should be concerned about? Will there be registry entries that don't get deleted that will always point to my C: drive that will cause headaches in the future? If I'm doing a clean install should I uninstall all of my add-ons first via the Windows control panel (aircraft, scenery, ASN, etc.)?

I am using surround 24"x3 mintors.. I just installed EZDOK andI think I have some basics going But every time I swap my views from VC to spot view the zoom facotr goes to .40 instead of remaining in 1.0 How do make this silly EDOK to behave? How do I make it sit in 1.0 zoom factor as my default for all my views?

Hi, Altough i have many addons like FTX Global, LC, Vector, payware airports etc when i click Scenery Library menu nothing comes, only an empty page As far as i know, i have to see all the scenery files here to allow me to enable and disable them. Also Flytampa Athens airport is installed into a FLY TAMPA named folder under the main P3D folder , by the setup file automatically , but not under Addons/Scenery folder. And i can not see this airport, although installed successfully Any ideas about the reasons ?

Anyone using air traffic manager in p3d v3.2 can't seem to get it to work.

Hi everyone, Relatively recently, I got the updated Prepar3d v3. However, I noticed very early on that my Avatar feature was not working. At first, I thought I was just doing something wrong, and I decided to worry about it after setting up my third party addons. Now, I realize that something may be wrong. Even though I have the Avatar feature enabled under Settings, I still cannot exit any aircraft with Ctrl-Shift-E (and yes, I also verified under key mapping that this was the command). Furthermore, when I'm in the aircraft selection screen, each aircraft has a message near the top that reads "No Avatar objects found." Yet, when I look under SimObject…

Some how I have lost all my FSX scenery Library entries. I have a copy of the scenery CFG when it was okay. I have recycled the 'Apply Group' in orbx and now I have most of their stuff back. But, I'm still missing the Default entries 'Propeller objects, add on scenery etc. Seems to me I read somewhere that the 'saved CFG' when reinserted into FSX would cure the over all problem. I need to know where to insert it , if that is the cure, Any help would be appreciated, Thanks. CJ.

Hi, Since I moved to P3D directly from FS2004 skipping FSX entirely, all this LOD Radius drama didn't touch me. However, now I'm trying to figure out how LOD is working in P3D. My understanding that the bigger LOD values extend autogen radius in P3D. Thus, I decided to test this theory with UTX Lights and found out that UTX Lights Radius visual difference is non-existent with either "medium" or "extreme" LOD. So, how could I really spot a true LOD difference at P3D Thanks

I install but why i do not have any light on ground ??

Hello how do you turn off the the cargo trucks and stuff on aerosoft heathrow as it really reduces fps thanks.

Are they 256, 512 or 1024? Thanks Bob

I'm new to all this....forgive my ignorant questions. I'm using FSX-SE and so far have installed a few ORBX addons--Global, Vector, Southern California, & Trees HD. I'm reading good things about REX addons. My question is, if I get REX addons, will those play nicely with what I already have with ORBX? Is it one or the other, or can I use both to enhance my flying experience? Specifically I'm looking at REX Texture Direct. Also looking at Soft Clouds. I assume Soft Clouds will present no conflict since ORBX doesn't really deal with weather, but I wonder if the REX texturing would interfere with all the texture enhancements that ORBX gives me. Thanks for your a…

As a P3D user, I'm finding it hard to see a scenario where P3D doesn't sink into obscurity now. It looks like DTG is going to at least match P3D with the shadowing, lighting, etc. They are also promising improvements in tangible areas that P3D hasn't touched and likely won't touch. It'll of course be 64 bit as well. But to now see that it'll include Orbx scenery as default as well? That's gonna be a killer combo.

I'm about to loose mind,after spending all day doing a clean install do to constant crashing in the Caribbean region,I load up P3Dv3 to find half of the scenery I installed hadn't been added to the .CFG, so I went to go add it and got the first message, then after hitting ok I got the second one and now I get the third every time I load P3D I've tired deleting the Scenery.cfg to start fresh (I have a back up of the original messed up one) but then no addon scenery is added even orbx vector. I would be nice if these message actually pointed at the scenery that was causing the issue instead of being so vague. Any ideas?
