I've tried a couple of times to get the Just Flight Vulcan working in P3D. It installs fine but I can't get the engines working :( Have any of you managed to get this addon working in P3D? Thanks Adam

Does anyone here have any experience with using a Bezel Corrector that doesn't mean enabling nVidia Surround? P3D lets me drag the window across the 3 screens without nVidia Surround. It's better for me to have a non Surround config for other things. It'd be nice to be able to bezel correct for hen I'm in P3D though. I did a search and found something called Display Fusion, but the sales bumf isn't very clear...

Hi, I just downloaded and am connected FSUIPC, but nothing works. There was a config screen for enabling each panel. I did that. I disconnect the USB and reconnected but nothing. Anyone using it? Bob

Apologies if this subject has been covered elsewhere, but I've not managed to find it if it has! Frankly, I've been to hell and back with P3D plus add-ons since deciding to invest somewhat in a decent system (solely for the use of P3D) around 10 months ago. I've had periods where I've managed to use the system quite well and really enjoyed going on that steep learning curve, ably assisted I might add by Avsim forums! However, that's another story. The thing is, I've managed quite simply to install and have up and running MT6 in P3D v3, but the pull on system resources seems to have dramatic effect. I'm experiencing OOM's and even today, a blue screen. This after tur…

Out of curiosity I bought FSCubed. It copies folders and files but I can't see how it moves scenery, it seems not to modify any cfg files. It's not expensive but then, I can copy folders myself. If someone has better results then I am happy to hear about it.

I have one message which always pop up when P3D starts, and i cannot get rid of it. Message : " Your curent locale is not supported: Please use locale that uses the Window-1252 character encoding. Would you like to ignore this message in the future? " Yes, i would like to ignore this message in the future, but every time it comes again. How to get rid of it ?

I've got the Lancair Legacy V2 on P3D 3.1 - Its amazing! One question I have, what power settings do other people use for the 400HP version of the engine? I've found lots of info for the lower power engine, but nothing really concrete for the Turbo... Second, last night I did a short flight at around 8500 feet, I set power at around 35mp and 2400 RPM, when I tried to lean the mixture to get better GPH, instead of lowering the fuel flow, the fuel flow actually increased, and the engine started to produce more power, it added several MP ...Am I missing something here?

Took me a while to figure this out. Yesterday, my Flight1 P3D GTN750 quit working. Turns out, my Microsoft Essentials Security package for some reason started deleting the F1GTN.dll file in the P3D root directory. Go figure? So I uninstalled the GTN750, and turned off MS Essentials. Then I went into MS Essentials and told it to exclude the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin" directory. Then I reinstalled the GTN750 package and turned back on MS Essentials. Now everything works fine.

Sure hope someone from Orbx sees this. I can't reply to any of the posts or enter a new post. The site shows that I am in good standing and nothing is locked. I have tried on my main PC as well as my laptop. I can go on to other sites and make posts, but not orbx. Thank You, "PDX Flyer"

Hey guys. Im trying to use the AM calculator to try to find the AM value for my cfg file in p3d v3.1. However, I dont understand how to use the calculator - specifically I dont understand the difference between the logical and thread labels in the calculator. When I try to set the cores as I THINK it's meant, I get unreasonably high numbers which I cant find in any other posts on the forums by googling. Can someone help me out and give me the value I am supposed to put into the cfg file under affinity mask on a i7 6700k With hyperthreading on? (4 physical cores)

I have about 400 WOAI packs and had them installed in V2.5 I found that the performance impact was far less than the default AI. There is noting quite like taxiing, Taking off and landing at a crowded airport and WOAI des a great job of that. However it was not without its problems in P3D. To not a few I often saw Traffic arriving and departing in the opposite directions on the same runway. Sometimes you would see aircraft lights but the aircraft itself was invisible. I have also seen AI taxi and take off with the main door open. (maybe they where Sky divers. :-) Also it was common to see 2 aircraft parked at the same gate or ajacent gates while aircraft part…

hello, I installed ISG simavionics and panels look good (MCU,GNSXLS, EADI and EHSI) but the buttons don't work. No clicks. it's work for someone in p3d v3.1? Thanks.

Hi all, Now that DTG Flightsimulator 64 bit has been announced , probably due to be released later this year, I am curious as if this will affect LM's long term strategy regarding P3D 64 bit... Looking at myself , I am very pleased with v3.1 : no more OOM's and with each update there are improvements. Surely, if a P3D in 64 bit is going to be released I will buy it, but tome there is no need to rush... I have my sliders were I want them and 64 bit won't add any extra fps as far as Iknow. However, I am curious about LM's strategy for 2016 now.....

There would appear to be several simmers out there who are not experiencing the joys of the animated waves in V3... (that said - who wants to fly when the surf is up!!), and seem to suffer from static sea-states? Is this an altitude-related perception or simply a lack of any animation whatsoever at sea-level on their particular rigs l wonder?

Has anyone tried installing Tongass X into P3D 2.0? In 1.4, it works, but you need to add some entries to the terrain.cfg file manually for water to display correctly. I'm hoping the same "trick" will work with 2.0, since OrbX left a hole in their coverage area to make room for Tongass X

Thats it, i dont know how to solve this. In day time all perfect, night time without fog all perfect, with fog is like diving in a blue dark lake. Not weather engine related, ASN, OPUS, FSrealWX all do the same. Textures, tried a million combinations of REX 4, tried some sky textures from the AV library and same. Deleted shaders also and im running out of ideas Need some help here please P3D v3.1

So I have just installed Orbx and it was unable to locate a simulator on my computer and I have FSX Steam Edition. So then it took me to the "Orbx Registry Fix Tool" where I then clicked "Change Location" under Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition to find the .exe file which I know is located on my desktop. And I found that it does not detect any .exe files to fix my problem. I tried going to my main FSX file to find it and still no luck. I might just not know how to use the tool or I am having some issue, either way, any help is appreciated.

I recently purchased taburet lights california/nevada. I installed without issue into p3d v3.1 by pointing the installer. When I try to activate them in the scenery library p3d acts like is is loading scenery etc, but there is no percentage loaded and it hangs. Does anyone have them working?

Hey guys, I'm VAFS user for a long time and if P3D crashed, I never had problem, because just to load from FSUIPC auto save and continue flying. Now I changed VA and they use XACARS, my nightmare is that if P3D v3 crashes (yes it's happening sometimes) and I load FSUIPC from it last save, XACARS don't keep tracking from there, it loose FSUIPC connection and I need to be on ground and engines stopped to be able to start it again. Any tips for it? Thanks!

Not sure if any of you are familiar with this, but it's a very cool PC program to configure your own instrument panels that has now come to the iOS App Store (as of this last week) and works with all the major Flight Sim programs/platforms. https://siminnovations.com/software/air-manager/about-air-manager Link for on the app store

Hi guys, I originally posted this in the LM forum, but so far the response has been... non-existent... :wink: I'd like to ask if someone could verify this on their setup, as this might have some performance and VAS implications. I've noticed that the "object shadow distance" slider doesn't work for me at all. Whether I set it to zero or to the max, object shadows are still displayed within the visible range in the sim. A few days ago, I was fiddling with settings and watching GPU usage, and I noticed that the "object shadow distance" slider does actually work as long as the "terrain shadow distance" slider is set to 0. As soon as I set any other value for terrain…

Hi all, I have been following advice from the great support there is on these forums, to get my P3D performing and also looking to the best it can. I used to rely quite abit on tweaking, affinity mask and fiber set to 0.01, this seemed to work in P3D v2, but now in V3 seems that they give me stutters and bad blurries. So ive decided to just restore my nvidea inspector profile back to its default, restore my nvidea control panel back to default, and attempt to just use the in sim settings to get the performance i am after and the crisp fast loading textures. My question is, can it be done by no tweaks at all? Just using P3D and nothing else. Is it better to …

I have a slight problem with this scenery P3D 3.1. It appears to be using the default afcad so that the default jetways are showing and the parking positions are wrong. It did solve it a few days ago with reinstall, but after deleting the scenery.cfg for an unrelated problem, the default jetways are back. I reinstall this time did not solve the problem. Is there a default afcad for KATL somewhere the scenery.cfg (could not find anything)? Also, is there a support forum for Imaginesim somewhere? I know they use Facebook, but I do prefer a forum for support related questions.

hi I have no idea if I m in the proper forum. but any way, my question is with of the prepar3d licenses is used if I want to up-grade form fsx. to prepar3d.
