Hi. I'm running P3Dv3 here and just installed FTX Global Base, Vector, and Open LC Europe with the latest Librairies. All of the installs seemed to go well and were reported as successful. But, when I see what's in the attached picture (over Seattle airport) I can't figure out why the ground around the buildings has all of the blurry patches on it. I'm not even sure if I'm seeing the ORBX stuff properly. I do know that some of the ORBX is there because I noticed elevations around the runway that weren't there before. Can someone please tell me what is wrong and what I should do to fix it? I still have No. California region and Meigs airport to install, but I want…

Without getting into the why questions what's the answer? Thanks

Good morning everyone, I'm new on the block. For quite some time I haveb een around just lurking for information. Now I have a question which maybe could be answered by someone. I have P3D V3.1 installed. All works well to my standards (Unfortunately not a top-of-the bill PC...4 core i5). This however is not causing issues. I have installed the latest Milviz F-4E 160114.exe and, apart from everything else that runs fine, I see no pilots? I know how to 'activate' those in the "Shift+1", but by doing so, the dialog opens but contents are not shown. So, I cannot change anything. Question: Can such be set in a specific.ini file? If so, which one? Would…

Is it possible to use TileProxy on P3D v3.1? If so, is there a guide? On the website it sais it's only available for FS9 and FSX. Would love to try it out, but not sure if it has a big effect on RAM and fps...

Hello all, I was just curious: from the start screen in P3D, after choosing your airport and aircraft, how long does it take to load the scenario? I'm asking because it takes me approximately 4 minutes or so. I am not asking how I can improve the load - I just want to know how quickly a super-monster can load P3D?

New File Available! See the Business Jets in P3D Thread... :smile:

I have tried to get Simconnect to work with P3D but failed. I have followed the instructions given here and in ASN manual. Only thing which seems to work is that Simconnect window opens up in server computer when P3D is launched. If I launch Traffic.exe in client computer it also opens up but will disappear soon. I have also done the following troubleshooting: checked that the client computer has read/write access to required folders of the server computer turned off firewalls of the client and server computers checked that simconnect.ini, xml and cfg files are in correct folders (However, I’m not 100% sure that I have made correct modifications to them…) Before I go fur…

I have installed the latest "all in one" version from Flight1. All seems fine except... I am unable to adjust the views using the edit key "2". The "2" key does not respond. I amslo unable to use any arrow keys. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you Michael

Just found this - Flaris Lar 1: http://www.flaris.pl/photo-gallery/ It will be produced since this year. Pretty cool stuff is this: - cruise speed: 700 kph - needs only 250m of runway, can operate from grass runways - mtow: 1500kg Do you know any similar plane, or ongoing project for FSX/P3D? Imagine landing this in bush strips o_O. Lukasz

For some reason the lights at the airport are not lighting up the aircraft or the ground markings. This screenshot was taken at EGLL (Heathrow) with with UK2000 Heathrow xtreme however it occurs at Rome (LIRF) with Mega Airport Rome aswell. https://gyazo.com/106d756e2fa81f6987e25d68d1a6bdc3 If you know why this is happening, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me and also how to fix it? Thank you, James Nixon

Just help. Please. Somebody. It's unbearable - https://gyazo.com/f7148f6b6dc05d1ba29b3fcc10264eb8 P3D v2.5, 980TI i5-4460 8gb ram, New cfg with no tweaks, have tried lowering settings

I've noticed that in the last 14 days there's new woai packs on avsim. Any ideas if they're back and if they will be updating their previously packs with new flightmodels (A380, A350, B787 etc) and if they will be updating the installer? Jlund

Obviously there are 3 main options here, 1 limited to use on IVAO only of course. I'm simply trying to determine which of these options is the best one. I've had a look at the IVAO MTL tool, which seems a bit buggy to me (windows 10) as it sometimes shows the AI Model list and other times doesn't when you start it. It seems to install fine and using IVAO I can see the traffic models, I wasn't overwhelmed with them though I must admit which has lead me to looking at uninstalling and using another option that will also give me the flexibility of online platform. What are the general thoughs? If you had a blank canvas and the money to buy an appropriate Traffic mo…

I have the same issue as this guy's post in the P3D official forums http://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=113712 Now I have done a bandaid fix (meaning a temp fix that I don't like), I've changed the situation= to blank so it loads the default P3D situation file. But I have been loading the same (my personal) default flight since the beginning of P3D v2.2 without issue. What did I change now that I have this error? 1) Installed the latest Citation X installer 2) Installed many navigraph airac updates to 1602. That's it. Has anyone had this happen and is there another way around it other than starting with P3D's default scenario? edit: Loo…

Hard working guys at REX have released new updates - best to go into your REX 4 meu and update - go to updates if pop up to update does not show up Thanks to the REX Team :wink:

Hi guys I am currently flying the iFly 747 V2 from LHR to DXB. I am cruising at 350. The aircraft is pitching to 15 degrees and the speed wont go above 218. Any ideas? Thanks, Freddie

I had planned on not upgrading to v3 because 2.3 has addressed my needs well enough since assembling a new machine 6//2013 and was determined to hold pat until P3D 64 bit arrives whenever and if ever that happens. Unfortunately a problem developed that has me for the first time on this Win 7 install reinstalling the OS and P3D w/ add ons. I think I lose the QW757 going to v3.x, and if I go to 3.x and I need to be able to use FSCaptain. If anyone knows if V3.x purchase includes a 64 bit version (e.g., as PMDG offered w/ some releases...) Please vote if you have found the additional $200 and time and loss of some add-on compatibility (perhaps) worth it for you overa…

I donwnloaded the latest installer for EZDOK from F1. took a complete back up of my Sims and OS Set a restore point. I had EZDOK already installed on FSX. I did a new install of EZDOK into P3D V3.1 (this is my first EZDOK isntall for P3d) I Ran the EZDOK tool ..to set it as per the PDF I started P3D but I did not see the EZDOK item in the Tools menu... So I could not assign the keys Is there supposed to be an entry in either the DLL.xml or the EXE.xml? In any case.. I did system restore point restore.. I started P3D again..but I got a popup error saying something about FSX not connected or something...so I had to uninstall the FSX versi…

Always loved this application in FSX -- here's hoping the same for Prepar3D :smile: http://www.simforums.com/forums/flight-environment-x-2004-beta-for-fsx-prepar3d_topic54943.html

Hi, I have seen a good bit of posts which details the autogen LOD for buildings and trees but I have never seen anything with regards to what distance the non-autogen objects get drawn. In this respect you can see the custom buildings of the Seattle skyline well beyond the autogen radius and the same holds true for airports, etc. Is this distance documented anywhere. Not necessarily looking to change the distance, just looking to get an idea of what it is. Kind regards, Brett

Anyone know if there is a Cessna 152 for prepar3d v3? I have the a2a 172 which I love, however, im starting my real life training in a 152 so wanted a plane to match.

Can this be installed into p3d v3.1?? If so is there any pointers rgd certain textures not displaying correct or elevation issues? Thanks in Advance. Cheers.

Hello everyone! I've just installed Ultimate Terrain X for USA and Europe in Prepar3D v3.1 and I've got a strange thing with it. I installed all the Installers and it works good, but in Control Panel, in the list of installed programmes I can't find "Ultimate Terrain X - Europe V2.1 (Data Files)", but I have it for USA "Ultimate Terrain X - USA V2.1 (Data Files)". Is it normal? Or I made a mistake?

I just got a new SSD and installed V3.1 along with REX4 (among other stuff, but nothing else affects water). I loaded up my normal saved theme for REX4 thinking nothing of it. But now I'm noticing that no matter what I do, the water seems to be flowing in opposite directions. So they'll be a strip flowing left, and another right. In some places, it looks like it's flowing in a wide circle. I never had this issue with 2.5 using any of my current settings and the water always flowed in the same direction. Anyone seen or heard of this before? This happens in all weather conditions, with all REX4 texture sets or wave animations. With Tessellation high or low. With …
