Well guys, i have a pretty high end machine (GTX titan X i7 4930k SSD etc) since day 1 i have the first p3d i have P3d rolling smooth like butter high FPS no stutter inever complain about no performance issue, 3 weeks a go my p3d start to not be anymore smooth like butter well il check a few thing then decide to reinstall windows 7 , so then all brand new Vanilla P3d then again those screen tearing or we can call stutter are back, i did like rob said delete sim connect , was a bite better but still not like it use to go if anyone can help me thanks in advance

Hi, I decided to give P3D a try, and found for the most part it's working great, but something in particular is not quite right... I have this weird effect with the clouds, where they disappear and re-appear as I move the viewpoint... This is particularly noticeable in outside/spot view, but it's also seen in VC. I made a very crude video to illustrate, where you can see that as you rotate the view, some high clouds disappear and reappear as you return: This is very strange and I could not find any posts with the same issue. The closest I found were some FSX ones about flashing clouds, and to modify a file inside the shader folder in FSX,…

For anyone who had the FSX version of the CS 727 it looks like there has been a recent update to v2.5 (16th July). If I have understood the description correctly they have updated for p3d 2.5 and this is a free update for those who purchased previously. A number of bugs have also been fixed and several improvements made. I hope to download this later. Tom

Hi! I dont have FTX Global Base but it looks like Pago Pago requires that to run (according to ORBX website). But it looks like this guy didnt have it either: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/469829-wow-orbx-releases-ftx-pi-nstu-pago-pago-international-airport/ But thats on FSX though. So does anyone have experience installing Pago Pago to P3D without the Global Base and does it work without it?

drzewiecki-design.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=304 Hmmm..... I wonder if LM have given Stanislaw Drzewiecki the official 'nod' in order for him to make such a bold statement on his Company Website?

Hi all- I ran Scruffy Duck airport scanner for no real reason at all simply because I was reading about it on an old forum post. After running, I can up with this... https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8KzWfFjsxGsN3QyTS1CVkFXMjQ/view?usp=sharing Does anything have to be done about what's reported as duplicates? Thanks, Mark

Hi Looking to start using charts sid stars, in part cause flight1 gtn looks very user friendly. I would like to keep default p3d nav data if possible, but not sure how my flight plans will be affected, nav tools I use 1. Fscommander 2.GTN I am a bit confused as to how keeping default p3d nav data will affect the use of these 2 tools, considering I plan to use charts thanks for the education in advance, I understand everything about the sim , but never got my head around what happens when using addons with different nav data.

I just installed V2 on Windows 7 Pro x64 The opening F-22 flight looks good. However just about any menu option crashes Prepar3D For some reason I cannot paste the log messages into this space here. Faulting module name KERNELBASE.dll, version 6.1.7601.18869 Thank you

Just released downloading now...

Hi Guys, Was wndering if anyone knows or heard if any scenerary developer is making Wsss again? I do understand that Imagine Sim had done it and 1 other developer but i believe there could be a better one . Airports sceneray in Asia is really lacking but i hope and pray the developers look into Asia's scenerary. There are beautiful airports in Asia as well. Regards

Hey guys, I am thinking about purchasing some of the fsdreamteam airports for P3d but had some questions regarding performance. Are they fairly comparable to Flightbeam airports(with the exception of KSFO, that one doesn't perform as well as the others). I get excellent performance from FlightBeam KDFW/KPHX.

I am looking to buy scenery for LSGG. I know that FSDT's LSGG is well respected and recommended, but another dev have released this. From screenies, it looks pretty good, plus it's cheaper than FSDT's 2 year old scenery. rfscenerybuilding are apparently known for good quality freeware of Russian airports. However, does anyone else have this scenery? And if they do, could you tell me: is it worth it?

Hey. Today I set up 3 monitors to work with P3D. Since then its a nightmare. A lot of times when I am using the menus, P3D gets laggy as hell. I get a lot of fatal error. I made a flight from KSNA to KSFO and ended up with 3 fatals and a lot of freezes. Here is the error log: Fault bucket , type 0 Event Name: BEX Response: Not available Cab Id: 0 Problem signature: P1: Prepar3D.exe P2: 2.5.12945.0 P3: 55145052 P4: unknown P5: 0.0.0.0 P6: 00000000 P7: 03d736e8 P8: c0000005 P9: 00000008 P10: Attached files: C:\Users\Bar\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\Prepar3D.cfg.txt C:\Users\Bar\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\dxdiag.txt C:\Users\Bar\AppD…

Is it just me, or does using GSX make it seem like the Three Stooges and the Marx Brothers are unloading your plane? Lately my arrivals at the terminals are very colorful, often the bus runs over the baggage carts, the baggage carts bump into each other and recently one baggage cart took off after loading and rammed through a taxiing A320. Is this normal? AES never did this, but then AES is not coming to P3D. That being said, the objects in GSX do look great, despite the sunken baggage cart wheels. I just wish they would behave a little more like adults!

Hi guys, I just recently got P3D 2.4 and on first launch I got this message saying your card is only dx10 etc... The message was related to my dx10 integrated intel !! But I also have a dx11 nvidia card, left out by p3d :((. I did a test flight and got 1-2fps all the way! Then closed p3d then opened nvidia control panel and set p3d.exe to run with high performance nvidia...then re test flight and same 1-2fps. It looks like p3d still won't use my dx11 card even after I did the nvcp stuff.. I'm new to p3d so I might miss something or forgot to do ? Any help to get me started appreciated! Thanks

Hey, I have a i7-5820K with (ultra stable overclock at 4.3). I did notice something interesting with the latest release (2.5.12946.0) and it is a subtle observation; I did see Core 0 (and its hyper thread Core), acting different from rest of the 5 cores (10 cores total), when the sim is operation. It seems Core 0(plus HT Core 1) is not being pushed that much, but when I disable those cores via Process monitor and enable them again, I get slightly more CPU usage spike. It is more subtle than 2.4 release of P3D (or was it 2.3)...anyway. What do you recommend should I use All my Cores (with HT) - 12 Cores or disable HT and use 6 cores or go with 5 cores or (10 Co…

I'm interested in Generic package first before buying stuff for AB and Boeing. Are there any real improvements for rain/snow/contrails effects comparing with the default P3D effects? Thanks

Good day. First of all, I have P3D V2.5 with the latest hotfix and running the application on a Windows 8.1 operating system. I use ASN latest Beta and PRO ATC X. I conduct a flight FACT to FALE no problem. When parking at the gate and shutting down the engines with APU running, I leave the PC for a while, and when I return, P3D has frozen and the PC reports "Application not responding". When I interrogate the fault, I get the message: "P3D.exe stopped interacting with Windows and was closed". Any ideas? This has occurred twice at exactly the same stage of the simulation. Thanks in advance for any input.

Hello. I'm now using Prepar3D v2.5 Academic in a Win7 PC. Almost in every flight and after a rather long time after starting, suddenly appear an error screen that says: Runtime Error! Program: F:\Prepar3D v2.5 Academic\Prepar3D.exe R6025 -pure virtual function call When I shut this screen the P3D closes. In the Administrative Events log I've found that the module with error is MSVCR100.dll I've reinstalled Microsofty Visual C++2010 SP1 but the error goes on. Any solution for this? Thanks

Hi guys, I currently have Fiber frame time fractioning tweak on 0.01 and it gives me the best possible fps but causes me to have high gpu loads and textures loading very slowly, and so i tried removing it but that gave me crap fps and stutters while flying through clouds. So what value do you guys use? I am not sure what value to choose between 0.01 and 0.33, what values do you guys recommend i try? Thanks

I had to reinstall P3D v2 and this is the first time I installed the hotfix4 version, but when I started P3D I get a program windows, but I only get a black screen. I did a full reinstall, from a clean Windows7 up, turned off UAC, installed the redist 2005 up to 2012, installed DX11 and Geforce driver 353.30, as I always do and then P3D v2.5.12946.0. That's all I did so far. Anyone any idea about what can be the problem and what I can do to fix it?

Hello, When I try to use GSX in P3D 2.5 I get a banner that says there is no afcad. I've tried it with the default EDDF and using the migrator to install Aerosoft's Frankfurt X. I get the same message. I've checked the FSDT forum for GSX but nothing I've tried has worked. Has anyone else run into this issue? GSX works in all the other airports in P3D.

Nothing, not with default textures, REX Ess or REX SoftClouds. I've tried everything, even when I make a layer using P3D's default WX engine, ASN or REX's WX engine I get no low level clouds at all, its almost like they arent in my Sim at all. I'm using the latest version of P3D, REX, SoftClouds etc, everything is up to date and I just did a full install (again) of P3D. I also refreshed my shader cache and tried numberous other things, can you guys help me out, I'd really hate to reinstall everything. Cheers!

Few questions to the Duke V2 pros as I just got this last night for P3D - great product but have a few questions 1. VC stuttering while rain drops in the mix real bad shut them off all ok - is there something that can be done about this - we know I have the system to run this - now I know why Microsoft dropped it - to bad as its very cool - dropped down AA and FXAA no FSAA - doesn't matter - stutter fest 2. I only see two light panel switches - I would like the panels off as they seem to bright and have just the gauges lit up as in most aircraft 3. Altitude hold is about 188ft above the designated altitude consistently - I played with trim settings on my hard…

Rob, if you are at liberty to say, or know, does LM plan to further enhance HDR in P3D v3? So that light sources actually illuminate objects, and the sun illuminates the ground, instead of having baked in light textures? Thanks
