    With my testing of this new graphics setting for V3.1, and adding LM's information regarding this setting ... it can be VERY demanding on the GPU. It's look VERY nice when used and some existing aircraft and/or supporting surfaces do indeed make use of it (most aircraft glass windows will make use of it, PMDG, Majestic, etc.) but runways (with rain) and other uses are dotted around ... some 3PDs will make use of it "as is" and I'm sure other's will start to incorporate in their future updates. I'm currently running Dynamic Reflections = Low, suggest folks experiment, but if you see a big FPS drop or stutters, you might want to adjust this setting first. By default i…

    Hey all. I've made the move to 3.1 and I'm really happy with it. So far a many of my add-ons have installers but then there is KORF by SXAD which only has a V2 installer. Same thing for Taxi2gate KSEA. KATL 2016 would be nice also. I wanted this install to be free of non native add-ons, what I mean by that is not installing anything with the migration tool, or by having to make too many manual adjustments (actually zero would be ideal) to get the product installed. I would rather that this installation be completely divorced from FSX, personal preference and bad experiences that I'd rather not repeat. I'm sure that someone has installed these V2 airports. What is your ex…

    Hi all! I'm a big fan of vintage aircraft and have been spending the last few days trying to get some great old FSX addons to work in P3D v2.4, namely Craig Richardson's beautiful Jeannin Taube (http://www.classicwings.net/jeannin_taube.html) and the FS2004 Curtiss Jenny converted for FSX. Problem is, I can't get these aircraft off the ground in P3D. In FSX there is no problem. Full throttle and you're up in the air. In P3D full throttle and the aircraft just sits there. Could this mean a considerable change in the flight model in P3D?

    Hi, In advance: sorry for bringing up this question, but I have to... Over the years I have read a lot of articles relating TML. In fact so many that by now I'm a 'bit' confused. I always thought that TML 1024 (in any sim) would prevent (or at least was favourable) for OOM errors because it reduces VAS usage. Reading (again) about TML recently, I read that with P3D (or better: DirectX 11) it has no influence on VAS, since video memory is used and not RAM anymore. So here are my questions: Is it true that VAS usage is not affected by the TML setting? I have a GTX980 ti with 6GB memory. Is it OK so set TML to 2048? (or even 4096?) Has a higher TML setting in…

  13. I am trying to raise the seat up and down in the cockpit and unable. I have tried pressing (Shift + Enter) to move the eyepoint up and (Shift + Backspace) to move the eyepoint down without success. Am also unable to get P3Dv3.1 to recognize the hat switch view- left/right axis (pan) on my Logitech G940 joystick. It works for the view-up/down axis (pan). Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong or is this a known issue in P3Dv3.1?

    Somewhere along the way in my Prepar3D V3 journey, I have lost both the ability to see ATC text and hear ATC voices. When I try to do anything with ATC, I get the window coming up with the appropriate options, but when I select an option it "completes" really quickly with no communications text and no voice. If I look further into Sound options in Prepar3D, where I normally expect to see a list of the voices available the list is in fact empty. Not sure if I had this in 3.0 as I moved to 3.1 very quickly, and I'm sure it's just me rather than something systematic. But before I go to a little trouble of a reinstall, does anyone know another way to get ATC working ag…

  16. Posting this here as well as will be posting this on the Lockheed Martin support. Has anyone else experienced this with cloud shadows in 2.3? First I noticed the lack of shadows, or apparent shadows in 2.3... but then noticed this bug. As you can see clearly in the video, when I pan slightly, it causes the shadows to switch on and off. Its a real immersion killer that also distracts. Please see the video below for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeWSZjKGBAg

    Hello Pilots. just downloaded v3.1 and was wondering what is a good mesh to use with v3.1 ? I used FS Genisis with FSX and P3Dv2.5. I was not great but just ok in my opinion. I've read about Pilots mesh and also I understand the free mesh is even better. Any ideas?

    Hi, I just upgraded my PC with a GTX 980 TI SLI (I had 780 TI SLI before) With my 780 Ti the FPS where clearly more important when SLI enabled. Now with 980 TI my FPS are less with SLI. WIthout SLI With SLI I see that the GPU load are only 30% for each card with SLI! Why the card is so less exploited? Of course without SLI the card is better exploited 50% Do I need to do something? I deleted the shaders and the CFG to be sure ... Thanks Dorian

I am pretty sure the default models and liveries are harder on performance than the WOAI models so I want to remove the default AI traffic. Anyone know how to do this easily?

    Does anyone have any tips for better performance in the New York (KLGA) area? I have a pretty high end PC (3570k @ 4.6ghz, GTX 980 Ti, 16gb DDR3 2400 CL10, Samsung 850 Pro SSDs) and I can't even maintain 30 fps with the Majestic Dash 8 and very moderate graphics settings and Ultimate Traffic 2 set to a very modest 25% GA and airliners. Just about any other airport location I can maintain a rock solid 30fps. The only scenery add on I am using is UTX USA.
