Hello Anyone got sb4 working in v3. Mine ctds the sim everytime I hit connect. Also fishy is its not coming up in the p3d addon menu to run from the sim itself. guessing something needs to be added to a file somewhere. Any help greatly appreciated

Almost get half the fps than with default terrain. Maybe with 2.5 the difference was not so noticeable. Any tips to get better fps?

I know that UTX and FTX don't get along. If I had UTX for and area and FTX for another area, and those areas do not make contact ie FTX for Australia and UTX Canada, would they get along? Moe

Does anyone know which scenery is better for performance and look thanks.

Hey guys! I have recently installed P3D V3 and noticed other people are getting the airbus to work. I Cannot, P3D will keep crashing due to D3D11.dll Error. No other aircraft does this to me and I am highly confused as I have a new computer that runs P3D Smooth as butter. Does anybody have any ideas as I have no seen any of the same troubles I am having.. Any help is kindly appreciated. Thanks guys!

First I want to say great job LM on Pv3 It looks amazing compared to FSX. Unfortunately I am getting bad screen tearing. I have tried every combination of v-sync/FPS slider in prepar3d and nvidia profile I can think of and cannot get rid of it. Just to be clear I have a fast system that runs FSX great. devils canyon @ 4.8 with Prepar3d on dedicated m.2 drive and a GTX970. As far as frame rates go I have turned almost all scenery OFF just to make sure I'm not overloading the scenery engine. I can get 70-90 FPS and still get screen tearing. Then click on v-sync and the FPS drops but the image tearing will continue. Cool thing about Prepar3D is I can crank t…

Hi guys First of all that's i thinks that's the first time a write on the Avsim Forum...i read a lot in this forums and lots of you guys help me a lots the resolved some bug i had just by reading on this forums... I play flight simulator since 2002 and 90% of the addons for the games like aircraft, scenery, utility etc.... Since to month ago i was an anti-P3D i just flight FSX or FSX-steam...but more i read on P3D more a found the platform intersesting...one day a decide to buy the version 2.5...in the beginning i'm not was impress at all for my that's looks like more like FSX with more OOM and less FPS...i found some tricks in the forum that help me to impro…

Anyone know how to make pro atc catch up with you? Sometimes it loses where you are up to and keeps asking you to acknowledge. Is there a way to get it to move to the next step without having to restart everything? Tried 3 times tonight and the furthest I got before I gave up was asking for clearance on finals into egll and it kept asking me to acknowledge so I landed anyway lol. But then you can't get handed off. Very frustrating because apart from that it vectored me in nicely. Chris

On a bright sunny day, I am approaching O'hare airport. I am relatively new to flight simming, so I was amazed to see that my flight is going well. I had my entire route plugged in correctly, the STAR that I entered on my PMDG 777 FMC matches exactly to the approach chart for runway 28C. When I am at 2000 feet, I see the unimaginable. No Runway 28C. In fact, O'hare airport in P3D v3 uses a configuration from 2006 :| Regarding this scenario, I do have a few questions. 1) In 2006, KORD had a runway 27L, which is currently present in P3D. This runway, however, was renamed to 28R. If I am playing P3D, and want to land on RWY 27L, will I have to select the STAR for RWY 28R…

So I got P3D v3.0 installed finally and I installed the PMDG 737 and 777 latest installers and they work but they are doing something weird when they load. I fly in in Maximized Window mode. What happens when I load in with a PMDG aircraft is the sim will minimize to just the title bar and I have to reopen it with the maximize button and when I load in the PMDG drops in from like 15 feet up off the ground and bounces while all the scenery starts loading in as if I had gone to the other side of the planet and it offloaded all the data about the place I am. So all the autogen has to adjust and the elevation mesh has to adjust. It takes about 30 seconds for the enti…

I'd really appreciate it. Treat me like an idiot and tell me how to take everything off my hard drive,

Hi, Anyone know if the 1/2 refresh rate setting is working in V3? Eg. 30hz on a 60hz monitor.... Gut (or rather, my eyes) feeling is that it's not... Cheers, Rich

Hello. I need to know more information about how the ORBX FTX global base package works. I have a license number and such, but, should I need to uninstall the program and migrate it to another computer... 1) How many times can I use this license? 2) Is there such a thing as license deactivation? How do you do it? 3) Does the same apply to other ORBX scenery products (Vector, OPENLC, etc)? Thank you. Damian

Considering buying the Aerosoft Tomcat, will it work in V3 ?

Hi Please advice, is it same link on my PMDG account, or different location. I suppose that link will still be for my 2.5 compatible, so where on pmdg site do I get v3 cheers

I could have posted this in either the FSX or Prepar3d forum but thought that this problem is more likely to be an issue for those using P3Dv3. According to Orbx: "There is no new content in this installer apart from the new installer routine to cater for P3Dv3 and dual installs of FSX:Boxed & FSX:Steam." Unfortunately, although there is no new content, there is certainly content missing! If you have FTX NA Pacific Northwest (FSX or P3Dv3) and set up the sim to warn you of missing textures, you will find that starting a flight at Courtenay (CAH3) will indicate 2 missing textures. After further investigation between FTXORBXLIBS_150331 and FTXORBXLIBS_151001…

*Mods feel free to move, with my apologies, if in the wrong forum* So my P3D v3 is almost all setup the way I like. Mesh is my last issue. Got an email from the FlightSimStore that FSGlobal2010 was upgraded with v3 compatibility. I downloaded each of the 6 files 4x last night.... trust me it took awhile. Each time, issue with extraction. Corrupt file downloads it said. I googled, and Binged and it doesn't seem like anybody had this issue. Anybody have any ideas what to do from here? I couldn't find any forums for FSglobal anywhere. Maybe I didn't look hard enough? I dunno, I'm at a loss, any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Tony…

I have a problem with P3D v3 and the aileron axis. It only moves about 10% to either side. Has anyone experienced the same? I have a PFC Yoke that works perfectly in FSX, X-Plane and P3D v2.5, but not in P3D v3...

I have ended up disconnecting the Cessna trim wheel. It will cause crashes, it will move on its own etc. No matter even if disable in FSUIPC and Prepar 3D at the same time, it still moved when pulling or pushing the elevator. Any solutions to this problem?

Hi Don't have much time for sim this days, so don't want remove 2.5 cause many reports of issues with v3 example joystick issues etc my 2.5 is ok, but would adding v3 on same pc and user account cause any issues. cheers

Just bought P3Dv3. Is ok to install it onto the same dedicated FS drive as FSX?
