I'm considering doing a clean install of windows 10. I'm currently on windows 7 with no issues. I'm wondering if anyone has seen performance improvements like fps increase with windows 10?

I have just completed a quick take off, circuit and landing at EGCV Sleap using the Earth Simulations Shawbury Fields package and PlayHorizon VFR GenX photographic scenery, and it made me think of Darren and Vicky Vincent. I have no idea what they are doing now, or where they are, but I do want to say a big Thank You to both of them for creating some truly wonderful scenery packages. In fact, I think that I would be in flight simulation nirvana if I could have the entire British Isles rendered with the quality and attention to detail exhibited by the Shawbury Fields package. I have all of the Earth Simulations collection, and they are without doubt my favourite scenery ar…

Hi Win7 [email protected] was 4.8Ghz GTX TitanX You ladies need to know this for about a decade always wondered about single or multiple display perf in NVidia settings. Always had mine set to single display cause I use main screenfor p3d and other smaller screen for panels. However uping my cpu OC, resulted in crashes of gpu on p3d load. After several hours fuming, update to latest NVidia driver, observed that when the crash occurs p3d screen is ok for short while but panel screen dies ugly death. Decided to change from single to multiple display perf in NVidia setting. And I cant believe it, now testing gpu OC that is almost twice what I…

Noticed one thing in dll.xml and exe.xml, I have duplicate entries in both these files for SODE as seen below. Not sure if this could potentially cause any issues and if I should manually remove one of them or if it maybe doesn't matter? In the dll.xml file the name is different but the dll file referenced is the same as you can see. In the exe.xml file both the name and the referenced file are the same. This is what it looks like in my dll.xml file... <Launch.Addon> <Name>SODE Animation Module</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>P:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed…

First off, I didn't see a specific forum here for these guys. Hope I didn't miss it if there is one. Moderators feel free to move this if so. Anyway, I just bought this yesterday and have a question when it comes to Pro ATC X crashing mid flight. Has anyone tried to restart it when that happens? Are you able to connect and have Pro ATC X continue on or will it want you to be back at the gate of your departure airport? Or, worse yet, will it move you to that point? I am just continuing on for this flight because I don't want to take the chance of crashing the sim but just curious if anyone has tried to reconnect after a crash and how it has worked for you? Oh…

Is anyone else having this erratic throttle issue with the MS FF2? (or other joystick?) I really don't want to try out FSUIPC, etc, as this exact joystick worked perfectly on P3Dv2 and in anything else on my Windows 10 install. I've tried messing around with the null zone & sensitivity settings, all to no avail and thus I'm "grounded" completely right now. :-( Double posted thread due to internet issue... MODS: Please delete

Would like to know if there's any?

Hey all, I understand that old FSX addons will have problems in P3d V3, but I'm hoping that maybe someone out there has a quick fix I could do for this. I'm trying to use the Plum Island Scenery and everything works as intended except for the trees: I'm pretty sure it is the '.agn' files in the addon directory that are probably not encoded correctly, but I'm not sure how to open them to fix them. Does anyone have any ideas? -Jake

Interesting post over on the Prepar3D Support Forum. http://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6312&t=116296

I found the Virtavia Globemaster on a list of unofficial compatible addons for P3D V2. I love the aircraft however since the second flight the flight director just wont engage. Please help

Yes Chris, I am waiting to spend some hard earned bucks on your fantastic Night Environment files but I'm only running P3Dv3. Eagerly awaiting for your updates! Do you have any ETA? Thanks!

When I shut down P3D, I get a window stating there is content error...and to look in my P3D v3.0 Documents There is a log in there...and this is its content: [error.0] error=Taxiway path with 0 width [error.1] error=Taxiway path with 0 width [error.2] error=Taxiway path with 0 width [error.3] error=Taxiway path with 0 width [error.4] error=Taxiway path with 0 width [error.5] error=Taxiway path with 0 width [error.6] error=Taxiway path with 0 width [error.7] error=Taxiway path with 0 width [error.8] error=Taxiway path with 0 width [error.9] error=Taxiway path with 0 width [error.10] error=Taxiway path with 0 width [error.11] error=Taxiway path with 0 width [error.1…

Hi Just got this nice freeware, manual says landing taxi lights built into the model, other in aircraft.cfg. But other lights work but not landing or taxi lights, any help much apppreciated

OK..we are spoiled for airports.. since FSX and P3D V2.0 and V3.0 could consume/use all airports...for the most part. And many of the Vendors (FSDT, Orbx, Aerosoft...) have been spoiling us with free installers for each of these sims...we now have an awesome library of addon airports... . It's unprecedented.. William (wde12) posted this on another thread with all the airports that we could get.... https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=zY6OaRP1vZX0.k5kkPeWjU2wQ I still think there are airports that we need..... 1. Not a single airport in Idaho.. Boise? 2. Salt Lake City 3. New Orleans 4. Airports in Africa is lacking..nothing in West Afric…

I'm running FTX Global and Global Vector, and I could swear to you that I had roads last week, but this week they're all gone - worldwide. The only changes I've made were the additions of Version 1.35 (Vector), and the freeware airport packs (installing the libs after installing all of that). I tried to shoot the trouble for a few hours, and then gave up, removed everything Vector-related and started over (verifying that once Vector was gone, the default roads returned). I installed Vector 1.3 and then the latest libs, and everything was still gone. I tried reordering some of the layers - ensuring landclass was below other layers (like airports, etc), to include some of t…

Finally took the 2nd plunge with P3D v3 Pro the other day. I realize how major of an update it is, so wanted to start off very slowly. Saitek panels didn't work, but stock aircraft and overall performance = excellent. No problems for a few days, so I took the plunge and installed SPAD. The panels came alive and all was well. Absolutely amazing. Left it alone for several days of test flights. Not a problem. Today, I installed ASN w/ SP4 Beta. Unfortunately, things went downhill very, very quickly. Let me preface this with the fact that ASN (and 2012 before it) is such an amazing program, I really wanted it in P3D. And yes, SP4 IS BETA, so I'm not trying to…

Hi All, First---why does my Saitek X-55 Rhino controler not work with the Prepar V3 Generic L-1049 and work perfectly with all the other Generic Prepar V3 aircraft? Why do all my PMDG 737's and 777" cause Prepar v3 to stop running after about One and a half to two hours of flight---this is a bummer for flying in my virtual airline. Thanks---Cheers--and happy Holidays to all!!! Dorn

Why do I get the red rectangle on the N1 numbers... on the 777? When I start out its green and then enroute it becomes red.. What am I doing wrong? IS my engine in trouble?

I have just done a quick circuit at the Scotflight version of EGOY RAF West Freugh, and I noticed a problem with the shoreline textures at this particular location. The slight "bay" area in the centre of the screenshot has very low resolution textures compared to the surrounding scenery. I have never seen this before, and they did not get any sharper when I hovered over them in "slew" mode. Can someone who uses the VFR GenX Volume 8 Scotland South photoscenery please check to see if you have the same problem in this location? It is the shoreline directly south of EGOY RAF West Freugh. http://www.mediafire.com/view/330wp2j86lnh8p0/EGOY_RAF_West_Freugh.jpg

Anybody know best way to delete unwanted default AC in P3d Easy to delete the ac folder, but is there any other stuff to check like gauges folder etc. Also if anybody knows whats the latest advice regards unused scenery, does it kill perf if I leave them selected in scenery library. Confused by the fact that no way to individually enable disable orbyx airports, just says ftxglobal airports in scenery, so seems you have to have all orbyx airports selected if you just need one. cheers

Hi all, I have Prepar3d V3. I installed Prepar3d V3 recently as well as the PMDG 737NGX and Preciptfx. I downloaded FTX Global 1.40 and installed it seeing it has compatibility for Prepar3d V3. I went to Program Data and checked the Terrain.CFG and there are ORBX entries within this file (I used to move it to the P3D foler install FTX and move it back.) The textures seem to be working without an issue, but the Lights do not. I did end up going to the Scripts folder and setting the lights in FTXLights to a different size and type but no avail. There is an ORBX Libraries update, not sure if that has something to do with it? Any suggestions? thanks!

This is my first post here. Recently, my flight sim PC died on me. I have narrowed down the cause to the CPU, Motherboard and GPU, I will be taking the RAM and PSU in for testing soon after my own tests (Which i have already done. Here is my goal: I plan to run P3D v3 on this new rig while getting roughly +40 FPS and still have a nice looking sim. I will be running the PMDG 777, Aerosoft A320 (And a330 whenever it gets released), Active Sky Next, FlyTampa Sydney, ORBX Australia, ORBX Ireland, PrecipitFX, REX Soft Clouds, and some more scenery. Here are the specs that i currently have planned: Intel Core i5 4690k Devils Canyon 3.5GHZ Gigabyte GeFor…

ORBX guys, any chance you would consider developing PDX? you already have a NW region and even Portland downtown, why not throw in (loosely speaking here) a KPDX airport. Just an idea a seed of sort to plant maybe you will built one with ur amazing work you guys usually do on aiports? pretty please and ofcourse with p3d support etc.

Mine is enabled in map view and I don't see the red line on the map. It worked fine in FSX

Have purchased the recently released KTVL airport. There is one runway 18/36, however the charts show approaches only to the South to rwy 18. Are approaches not allowed to rwy 36? Surely the wind is occasionally from the North.
