Hi All,I wonder if there is anyone out there who offer a suggestion for a business jet suitable for P3D. I tried Carenado's XP850,it was completely unflyable due to very low framerates (.3 fps) 0n my i7 based pc. My confidence in Carenado products now is very low as I was not able to get any support of any kind. Ideally it would need an updatable FMC. I have been waiting to hear from Eaglesoft who I know are developing this kind of aircraft for P3D but it has been a long time coming. Any helpful suggestion will be much appreciated.

I'm missing something but I cant figure out what. I only own Soft Clouds so I updated to the latest version released this morning. Installed a cloud set. Deleted Shaders Folder but still no low level clouds. Anybody know an answer? Thanks for any help. Nevermind got them back by uninstalling Soft Clouds complete and downloading new installer and then updating.

Hey guys Just wantin know if any of you are using this tweak? My sim is running nice and smooth. But some major airports like EGLL in the pmdg 777 Panning in vc airport in and out of sight. Airport get black squares takes a second to load. I am using ssd's It's not a major issue but hey if I can get the textures to load faster that'll be great. Cheers Mike

I guess I will start this inevitable thread. On the other thread some mentioned not needing SGSS anymore and others stating they still needed it. Installed v3.2 Client and Content. I turned off NI putting it back to default settings and just set Nvidia Control panel slider to Quality. Left my settings in P3D the same with 4x MSAA TF at Ani 16x and FXAA off. Did a few test flights. The AA is improved especially with Scenery and Addon Scenery. BUT AA on aircraft had all kinds of jaggy lines on wings and seams. FPS was great but the caveat is that ASN was not running obviously. Do we still need some SGSS setting or is there another setting to clean t…

I'm going around in circles here. Ever since installing Orbx FTX I've had one problem after another. I installed FTX Global Base, OLC and Vector. I also have FTX England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and N.Ireland, but hadn't yet installed them. I've been exploring assorted UK airport environments and generally admiring FTX's textures and the general effect of the scenes before me. Very nice -- until I came to look at the area around London City airport, EGLC, for which I use UK2000's excellent version. The airport was fine, but the Thames and basins around it had trees and some buildings growing in them! What sort of Land Class is that!? :-( I thought, well p…

Just downloaded but have not installed. The price is pretty steep $129.00 USD. Two downloads 1.99 GB and 1.67 GB. They say FTX Global has to be un-installed completely. Anyone try it yet??? Nelson

This happens all the time even in light winds. When i turn it gets blown to one side like when you use the yaw damper but then returns to the neutral position.

Hi All, Well, I am excited to advise that my latest Autogen Scenery for entire New Zealand has been released. Version 2.0. Many improvements over the previous version have been achieved. Higher accuracy of vegetation, roads and tracks now cutting through vegetation, overall higher variation of vegetation and enhancements to the building autogen. I believe my scenery is the most accurate I have seen, put on top of photoreal scenery. The Coverage is second to none with the entire landscape covered by mostly vegetation and complimented with varying building density based on the location. I am offering full support and ongoing updates to even further impro…

ObjectFlow updated for P3Dv3.2 Now in the ORBX Forum It should be automatic with the online update procedure, but if you have issues then You have to login to get it.

After not using it for a year or so I installed the Aerosoft Airbus 319 into P3D 3.2.3. Almost everything works okay apart from one thing: whenever I enable the speed brakes I get an amber caution saying the speed brakes are still out. Duh... This would be a minor annoyance if I could simply clear the caution but usually the caution goes on and off in quick succession and there is not much I can do apart from turning the speed brakes off to get rid of the caution. Obviously this isn't always the best thing to do. Anyone else here who is having problems with this? Maybe this is P3D or v3.2.3 specific...?

I have a weird issue Since yesterday i can't fly on any airplane simply because when i try to increase the throttle with the HOTAS or F3 or F4 keys The throttle suddenly goes down to idle even goes to reverse thrust with airliners i even reinstalled p3dv3.2 default everything and same issue running win10 64bit.

I have been using FTX SoCal and like the airports. But still prefer photoscenery vs. autogen as I like flying by pilotage (landmarks are not very complete in FTX SoCal). I was surprised how well it works. I get FTX SoCal airports, and when I fly I see photoscenery. However, some lights are missing, specifically antenna towers and airports' rotating beacons (interestingly, I can see REIL lights from many miles away - way too bright). In FSX, with MSE 4x SoCal and UTX USA v.2, I can see all the antenna towers and rotating beacons. Is this because FTX SoCal's tower locations are different from UTX USA's? Or P3D v2.5 deals with autogen differently? In …

Sigh. I don't ever recall MSE v2 looking this bad in FSX. It actually looked pretty nice. But for some reason my textures seem to be on the blurry side, even when up close. Anyone else have this problem? I'm not sure what the cause of this is. But here's a screenshot I took of MSE v2 Texas. I have textures set to 2048x2048, LOD 6.5, and pretty much all my graphics maxed out. This is taken at about 2500-3000 feet altitude. screenshot capture

Ok so I thought I could solve these by myself but apparently not. Ever since upgrading from 3.1 to 3.2 I have a few problems. Deleted and installed client and content only. Backed up autogen folder and copied over once done. No changes in settings/tweaks except for removing 2x SGSS AA in NVI. 1) Blurries and scenery popping. Using the same exact AM of 116 as in 3.1 but the sim is a lot more stuttery. Also I notice the scenery threads at 90-100% most of the time whereas in 3.1 they peaked at 80-90%. As I've mentioned there are no other changes in settings. http://postimg.org/image/dagq5i4x1/ Any ideas Steve? 2) MSAA 2x MSAA and the…

ASN is installed and it keeps asking me for ASN simconnect over and over. Sim connect installs and keeps asking me to install it again?

Hi, I've been playing around with P3D3.2 at night with Night Environment Florida and maybe it's just me or I've been at this way to long. I find that if I set the following in P3D3.2: FXAA=ON / MSAA=OFF / Texture Filtering= Anisotropic 16X and Tessellation=Low... I'm able to run way more stuff at night and have just about no shimmering and I have NOT induce studders... It's actually acceptable for me. I don't run NI. Not sure what this looks like in the day time haven't done any testing, but this works for me at night. I'll get a video online soon, night flying is really coming around.

Well my Windows10 SSD lost contact for good in Bios so i desided to replace it with an HDD that was used for other games and reformatted it and did a clean W10 install. But when i try to rebuild my image i keep getting the "The Disk that is set to active in BIOS is too small to recover the original System Disk. Try replace it with a larger one and retry the restore" The new HDD is 279GB and the old one SSD was 128GB so i dont know what to do The image has C:(SSD128GB) Windows 10 and another Drive called D:(465GB) in cooperated. On the D drive there was some boot files and a pagefil.sys of 3056MB and that it. Its along long road if i have to rebuild fro…

Dear All, since P3d 3.2 (CLEAN Install, ALL traces from the old 3.1 erased as suggested) i have a major problem: Every time i start the sim all my addon scenerys are gone, the scenery.cfg is always back to default. When i activate the addon scenerys within the sim (add scenery) i can use them as expectet. But after leaving (clean leaving, no simcrash or whatsoever) and starting again - same result: all addon scenerys are gone again. Version 3.2 is the first version where i DO NOT use any tools (such as the Estonia Migration Tool) to install "old" FSX or P3D 2.x Programs! So far i only have the newest Versions of: fsuipc (using my old ini from 3.1) EZDOK…

Was 3.2.3.16769 released today ? Just saw it in my available downloads and cannot find any changelog for this minor update. http://prepar3d.com/SDKv3/LearningCenter/what_is_new/new_v32.html Any clues ? Disregard, found it in P3D forum.

In FSCaptain I'm married to United and use PMDG NGX & T7 and need something down in size for regional flights. I'm really enthralled w/ V3 installers so would rather avoid any manual fixes of anything if at all possible. Can be in the moderately complex level--no need for massive complexity. Performance is important, but since the PMDG stuff runs nicely now on 3.2 should not be a big deal. Jets and turboprops are fine. I have RASTurbineDuke so looking for something up to about 100 seats tops. Thanks!

Hello all, since I installed (fresh) P3D v3,2, I am having a weird mixture axis bizarro problem. I searched google but nothing matches my current problem. Hoping to give you guys and gals a try. I have Seitek Cessna Yoke levers mapped to mixture 1 and 2. When I move both levers to full rich, mixture 2 will move down to 1/4 extended while mixture 1 remains intact. I DO NOT have auto mixture enabled and whether I use FSUIPC (registered) or P3D controls, both will react the same way. Further to that, if I reverse mixture 1 & 2 mappings, it will ALWAYS be the further right lever that continues doing the same thing. I have calibrated in Windows and in P3D. Any…

I decided to completely clean out my P3D only drive and start afresh with V3.2. I've just finished setting up axes and buttons in FSUIPC. I've decided at present not to use Ezdok, and mapped buttons in FSUIPC for zoom and eyepoints. As part of setting up a viewpoint it's essential to be able to use spacebar + mouse to rotate the view.into a final position. Spacebar + mouse, nor Ctrl +O+mouse work for me, although the cursor does change to a + Anyone else experienced this? Jim

Hello folks, I have a question about performing a dual install of ORBX products such as Vector, OpenLC, NZSI, AU, (and so on) for FSX and P3D. So far I have been using them for FSX:SE, but now I want to run them on P3D v3.2. I know that all of these products have installers that are compatible with all simulation platforms, and I have already installed FTX Global base, one for each sim. My issue is this: Isn't it possible to install these products in a way that makes both sims sharing the files? Given that Vector alone consumes 13GB of hard drive space inside the ORBX folder of FSX:SE, it would be quite wasteful to have additional 13GB added to the hard drive by anot…

Hi My ailerons are going spiky . You can se the aircraft bank in small spiky movements. My yoke is a Saitek Pro flight. 1.5 years old. I have done the following: Calibrating my yoke, tried all kinds of sensitivity and deadzone settings, fiddled with FSUIPC. Its hasnt changed anything. Any suggestions ?
