Just reinstalled Ezdok for P3D after moving up from fsx and the keys arent working. Any ideas plz??

If I'm flying anywhere in North America I know I can click on "North America", but when do you click on " Global "?

I have tried,without success, to get the OMAA Abu Dhabi scenery by Richard Reed, for FS9, to work in P3D...It works in FSX but when I add it to the scenery library in P3D no matter what I do, the default OMAA shows.??? All other addons work if I add them.

I have Vector, Central and LC installed, and when flying over Italy all ground textures are blurry with a huge FPS drop. Would appreciate if someone could shed some lights on this as everything is O.K for all other countries. Thanks

Hi everyone i just bought Taburet 3D Lights for the Caribbean areas. The problem is that it's killing my FPS. My frame rates will go down from 23FPS to 2FPS. I know the problem might be caused by having FTX Global Light running with Taburet 3D Lights. I try contacting the developer but no answer as of yet. These lights should have a similar function as Aerosoft Night Environment which is compatible with FTX Global Lights. I have search the forum and i have yet to find someone reporting 2FPS using Taburet 3D Lights.

Hi guys, I was to set up my P3D because it's performace is quiet bad, so I used to continue flying with FSX. My current nvidea inspector vesion is 1.9.7.3, but there is no Prepare 3D profile I could set up. Why is that?

I know that for a while there has been some discussions about the rendering of clouds in the current and previous versions of Prepar3D. One of those was about the "popcorn clouds" that were showing up with regularity for some simmers. I found them in real life as well. A few weeks ago I was flying home from KSFO to RJSS via RJTT after a weeks worth of business meetings and some sightseeing. The ANA Boeing 777-300ER took off like a dream and before we knew it we were nearing our climb altitude. All the while I was looking out my window and as we turned and headed over the Pacific Ocean saw what I recognized as "popcorn clouds." I've posted some pictures below. I know t…

What is this about, and none of my passwords work. http://www.prepar3d.com/uncategorized/2015/09/113061/

Installed the Soft Clouds update that was released a couple of days ago. Acars for my Delta VA records the average FPS for all my flights. After installing the update, and changing nothing else, I got a FPS increase of about 20%, and the clouds look great. :smile:

I just transferred my ai traffic from fsx to p3d. I had landing speeds and distances set nicely in fsx through the tweaks in aircraft cfgs, but it appears these are not having effect in p3d with planes coming little slow and stopping in a short distance on the runway all over again. Does p3d 2.5 read aircraft cfg differently?

Hi! I've been struggling with an issue for months now actually, but it is not until now I've grown tired of it. It seems like whenever I move the view around, strange things are happening with the surrounding scenery. For instance, when flying high (cruizing) and moving the camera around in the cockpit, I can observe a line being drawn across the scenery underneath me moving together with the camera. Very often, the colors change accordingly. Also, this occurs when on ground, as seen in this short video I made (apologies for the quality, but hopefully you'll get the point). As you can see, when I move the camera in the cockpit, the scenery somehow glitches accordi…

Hello, I have recently installed the ORBX PAJN airport into P3D 2.5 and while flying the approach to RWY 8, I noticed there are no PAPI lights. Is this a known limitation of the P3D 2.5 version of the airport or is it something that can be done in order to make them work? Thanks!

I'm using UTX for P3D and default scenery. I do have KEGE installed from Orbx and I'm traveling from KSGU to KEGE. Is this a tessellation related thing?

I've recently added P3D support to my EZCamViews 3D cockpit camera app. I'm looking for a some P3D flight simmers who are interested in helping me test my camera app with P3D. I have a dedicated support forum here: http://www.ezcamviews.net/forums and my website is here: http://www.ezcamviews.net Please email me if you are interested in helping me to test. Thanks...

I own KBOS, KBUF, KMDW and KTPA and with the exception of KTPA, the others are only for FSX. I however own the migration tool and have used it to install all of FlyTampa's airports successfully but there is a little glitch I wonder if anyone else has encountered and found a way to fix it. Given those airports are rather old, it is understandable that they would wig out in the P3D environment but I want to know if anyone has solved the mystery of "The Taxi Lights of Many". Basically, when taxing around the airport, either after having landed or getting ready to depart, the object they use for their taxi lights will appear all over the screen, in the air, on the gro…

For several years I've been flying different GA aircraft, but I also would like to have a decent airliner in my collection and I've been looking around for what seems forever and I cant find anything that matches my wishes and interests. Lately I've been flying the Dash8 and it's an interesting aircraft to fly, for sure, but I really hate the looks of it when in the cockpit. I'm really not the kind of guy who wants to be looking at computer screens all day, I want the old-school charm of gauges. I dont mind paying reasonable prices for a quality addon, but up to a certain limit. I'm not looking for something that costs hundreds of dollars, but prices as we know from PMDG…

Hello I need a help. Every time when the aircraft is at 31NM far away on route to KINAI in japan , the P3D will not respond definitely. I fly with PMDG777 from LAX to PVG. It seems the P3D get into an infinite loop at that point. The problem has stopped P3D from interacting with WIN7 system. Could you give me a help. Any help greatly appreciated! Regards Yang

I have all the north american regions plus global, vector and Europe LC and many of their airports. Would it be ok if I unchecked the ORBX Airports that I'm not using and maybe England ? Or does it tend to mess them up ?I would keep Global and Vector always checked.

Has anyone tried this free mesh?...said to be better (in most respects) than Orbx Global and if installed corrrectly, compatable with Otbx Global and Vector....see link below....thanks, John H. http://xtrnets.com/evntech/freemeshx/

Hello all, Not sure wether this is the right place but okay ​ Just "installed" Aerosofts ARLANDA! into p3d (via the "here is the scenery files p3d, LOOK AT IT" way, which usually works great). BUt when I landed, I noticed how bumpy it was, and seeing as this isn't xplane, it was the bumpmap of landing on dirt. My 737 was very hard to get moving due to it. anyone else with ti​ps or advice? Checked vector but to no avail. vkr victor Edit: I'm dumb dumb dumb.. arlanda!

Hello to everybody! I have just install ORBX Global base on my P3D 2.5 with the latest ORBX libs (Aug 2015). P3D runs on an SSD. First time I run the simulator, no problem to load a flight in less than one minute with ORBX texture. After a windows reboot, P3D stop loading terrain data, sometimes at 19%, sometimes at 20%, and everything seems blocked at this percentage. I cannot load a new flight. From task manager, P3D process looks running. Antivirus is turned off. Any suggestion to solve the issue? Thank you

Hi friends and developer, I had issue regarding prepar3d scenery.cfg file, first let me start with beginning, i had Ftx Global + Vector installed with latest Orbx lib installed for prepard3d v2.5 without hotfix, which runs perfectly now this morning i install Open LC europe + latest update and encounter same issue as before terrain.cfg which was already resolved by orbx lib. then i keep on installing all 4 parts and at last again install ORBX latest Library, now the problem is when i checked FTX Central it says Open LC is installed but inside Prepar3d Scenery Library no Openlc Eu Scenery is is added. and just to make you clear when i press scenery li…
