I'm trying to buy P3D and its asking for a UK postal code? i know this sounds crazy, but i have tried every code possible. in my area. Edinburgh. EH, EH192PJ don't know what else to try?

Comparing the new Ultimate VFR for UTAH to the P3DV22 with only FTXG and FTX-Vector See the two below, don't think I need to say which is which... P3DV22 was at MAX LOD settings, still getting usable fps Nice colors and the cloud shadows work great here !! Ans yes, there is limited autogen on this photoscenery...downtown so far not in subburbs There is road traffic on that major road down there, but not sure if that is from Ult or FTX_Vector In this shot, you can see the tree autogen clearly... Again, no need to say which is which Then I have these 2 screenshots that do not need comparisons: ......... these are at MAX LOD in P3D

Hi all Does anyone else have very bright (orange/yellow) nighttime ground textures at EGLL? It doesn't make a difference whether HDR is on or off. It appears to be some kind of layering issue. When I looked at the wheels of my 777, they appeared to be correctly sat on the ground, but somewhat sunk below the transparent bright layer causing this effect. I'm also not sure whether this will be a general issue not specifically related to AS EGLL - but that's where I noticed it. I have run the FTX Vector Auto-configurator, but this makes no difference. Any thoughts?

Hi guys, Now that I have finished my home cockpit I started to make flights. Where I did not have any tearing at all in v2 I have them in v3 when making turns. Already I enabled Aero in W7 but that did not solve it. I have locked the framerate at 25 , monitors at 25 Hrtz and LOD at 5.5 ( no difference with 4.5 or 6.5 ). What solves it is is enableing Vsync with Triple buffering, but the cost of that is a 20% loss of framerate , a little blurrieness on both outside monitors ( triple monitor setup ) and less smoothness ( stutters ) in very detailed scenery where the framerate now drops below 20... All sugggestions are welcome... ---------------------- Solved it …

Hi everyone Well .... with all this fog we have been experiencing in the UK for the last few days has anyone dialled up the real world weather in either Opus FSI or ASN and taken to the skies? Certainly challenging times .... This small video clip was good to watch .. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34703566 Paul

Before I never noticed any problem with Migration Tool and P3Dv3, but since yesterday, every time I start P3D, Migration Tool gives a warning:'Failed to open dll.xml for reading. Migration Tool's functionality will be limited' And after that an error message:'Failed to open Prepar3D.cfg for reading' Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Ok, im 99% sure im posting in the wrong section, but i couldnt find the correct forum and since this software can be used for P3D im just gonna ask... I recieved a suspicious email a few minutes ago from BMT Micro (never heard of it). (x = my markings) I havent made a order for anything and no money has been withdrawn from my account. Has anyone recieved a email like this before? I've already sent a email til BMT Micro and asked about this, but im asking here aswell incase its a serious matter and i have to cancel my creditcard.

I just checked their Facebook page and it apparently has been taken down. If this project is dead, it's too bad because it was looking very good.

Has anyone been able to run it successfully in v3.0? I'm planning to purchase it this weekend. Thanks Dmitriy

If I decided to move to v3.0...I was thinking about leaving ORBX Global to v2.5, and having only GEX (world edition) as the v3.0 Global, and then UTX regions for the vector info. Then...I'd install my ORBX regions and airports last. Has anybody tried to install GEX for P3D World Edition, into v3.0? Does the installer find v3.0? Just wondering.... BTW, if you DO have it installed...a bunch of pics attached to this post, would be great to view!!

Most of us know and understand how many important graphic and programming improvements have been introduced from FSX to P3Dv1, v2, v3... producing what now is a very stable and fluid simulator which I like and appreciate very much. But I would ask a question to simmers more expert than me: what if any evolution in the flight dynamics compartment has been made from FSX to the present version 3 of P3D? Flying in P3Dv3 an old but very good aircraft like the SF.260 by RealAir, born for FSX and never updated since 2007, I can barely see any difference... Perhaps there are some subtle changes one can notice on more complex aircraft like supersonic military jets or b…

Just completed a great multiplayer flight from KPAO to KRDD in v3.0. While enroute we tried to tune in the ATIS for KRDD and it never came in. After we landed and disconnected the multiplayer session, it immediately started to play. Can anyone else confirm this is happening or have any suggestion on a setting that might need to be changed? Best regards. Jim

I hope that this is the right forum to ask this question. I currently still use P3d v2.5 and I use the Saitek pro flight yoke and quadrant. However,I am looking to purchase the Throttlenek 737 throttle quadrant whilst keeping the Pro Flight Yoke. Currently the Yoke is connected to my throttle quadrant and I am therefore wondering whether I can still keep my Yoke whilst having a different throttle quadrant to replace the Saitek quadrant. I apologise if the answer is obvious and thank you in anticipation. Michael

Hello, I stubbled across a program called RealTerraHaze which renders a haze effect for Xplane. I am wondering if anyone knows of a similiar program which can be used wth Prepa3d? I really miss the bluish haze effect. I am currently using RexDirect4 and Soft clouds , but the rendering of the clouds just doesn't seem to be right. I would love to get the effect that this program: Real Terra Haze produces in Xplane in Prepar3d V3. I think what I am looking for is raleigh scattering. If anyone knows how this might be achieved I'd be grateful if you would kindly let me know. Thank you in advance for tking to to reply. Paul

I thought spinning clouds were fixed in 2.5 or so? im getting spinning clouds as i fly by them in v3. I am using REX soft clouds and Rex Essential + Overdrive. (could this be why i am getting the spinning clouds?) Can someone confirm with default v3 clouds if they spin while you pass them in spot view?

I have a must have vfr landmarks free scenery for poland in FSX, however when installed in P3D v3 the objects are not shown. Can anyone with more knowledge in scenery making than me take a look at it? Can it be made to work in P3d? I really like the p3d superior flight dynamics and better framerates but flying vfr without these objects kills all joy ;( This is a free scenery by simdesign with proper eula. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_sJeud0XsK2eW9DVUJ1RUtuQWc/view?usp=sharing thanks for help

I'm running P3D v2.5, and while it's pretty smooth in certain circumstances I'd still like to be able to up the graphics settings and maybe get it to run a bit smoother. Right now I'm using a GTX 560Ti with an i7 2600 (non-k) overclocked to about 3.9 Ghz. I'm considering an upgrade to a GTX 970, but I've see conflicting reports here as to whether or not it's worth it- I recall one post saying it turned P3D into a whole new sim while others say they barely noticed a change. From what I understand, it seems to be tied to the CPU. Will going from a 560Ti to a 970 while retaining my i7-2600 give me any type of performance boost? Or should I spend my $400 on an i7-4790k or som…

Hi all, I have posted a similar topic on Orbx's forum but so far I have received no response or comments. I have been holding off installing Vector into my P3D v3 installation as it had a huge impact previously on VAS usage in my previous 2.x installations - so much so that I think it was a major cause of the OOM's I was having. Right now I have FTX Global and Open LC packages installed along with a couple of the full fat regions (Aus, PNW and PFJ) and I have a lot of VAS headroom. In certain areas I really do enjoy the extra detail Vector provides however so I'm a bit torn at the moment. Has anyone seen any real impact on VAS in v3 with Vector installed? If s…

Doe anyone has a problem to open ATC window in P3D V3 using latest IFly 747 build? Thanks

Perhaps I am dating myself, but in the FS days, one of the interesting things to do was to look for Easter Eggs hidden (or sometimes not) by the coders. Has anybody found any in P3D? I tried a search here and didn't find anything. Have a great weekend of flying :smile: P.

Basically sim performance is excellent, good frame rates, no stutters but on final approach or just about to touch down sim crashes with the ntdll.dll, error at different airports by different developers. - Only have the PMDG aircraft installed. Have read and checked all items on the Avsim CTD guide, reduced all settings to 1024, rebuilt the P3D.cfg, took out all entries on dll.xml and then tested the sim by adding entries one at a time, all to no avail. Not sure what else to do bar wiping the whole windows 7 64 install and starting from scratch again. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi all I get this error when trying to asign the ATC window open and close to a keyboard button. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w205/B1900Mech/Lockheed%20P3D%20V3/V3%20Issues/p2dv3%20keyboard%20issue.jpg Thanks Jim
