    Hi any one notice huge stutters at KMIA......I did have latin VFR KMIA installed...having FPS drooping down from 33 to 7...then I uninstalled the airport running the default...but the stutters are just the same (in the co-pit)...not external view.....However, I have not the same problem in Latin VFR KEYW...neither mayor well know VAS killers like KSFO or KLAX Fsdream where frames are very stable 25 to 33....is just weird that KMIA default perform so bad....this time I have to admit that is not the B200...something is conflicting in this KMIA area..... Just want to share this with any one else using B200 at Latin VFR KMIA Thanks Pedro

    Hey! I bought FTX global base and I was very happy with the improvement. I thought it could be a good idea to buy vector as addition to make my fsx perfect... but now I am in an extreme FPS losing situation when I fly over a city in the A2A C182 (for example vienna) it goes down to "stop motion". Complete unflyable. :-( I use a geforce GTX 650ti and an AMD Quadcore with 4.2 GHz. Maybe someone has a tweaking tipp? I know that I need new hardware, but maybe there is something that I can do now to keep flying. My settings at this time are set to the mentioned one from the FTX Global Base manual. Thank you!

    I have been thinking about getting EZdok for P3D, but have read so many problems with installing it in P3D and then getting erratic operation of the camera and having things like P3D crashing on landing, etc. I also have read that it can be difficult to install in P3D. Any opinions.

  5. As some of you know P3D is not supported by AMD crossfire. It is because P3D runs in windowed mode to allow different kinds of multi monitor settings as I understood. Unfortunately crossfire wont run in windowed mode. As I just bought a AMD 295x2 card i tried to get support from AMD. After many tries to get an appropriate answer from if they plan windowed mode crossfire support in the near future, they wrote; "No, AMD wont support the windowed mode crossfire in the future." - Means never. So for everybody outhere who have or plan a multi monitor flight sim with good settings AMD should not be the brand of your chose.

    Earlier today, I was able to load the P3D sim, no problem. Changed aircraft, changed airport to the Isle of Man. As I have an Earth Simulations IoM, originally bought for FSX, decided to try and install that. That's when the sim kept repeatedly toppling over with a APPCRASH Faulting Module: terrain.dll error. Try to fire sim up, get as far as Loading Terrain Data screen followed soon after with the CTD I have rolled the system back through System recovery back to 2 days ago when everything was working okay. Even tried the latest Hotfix.Nothing helps. Any assistance appreciated. Short of total re-install, has anyone got a solution to this screw-up? Thanks.l

  9. Noticed since I replaced FSX with P3Dv2 how taxiing at ESSA has become rather jumpy and it looks the reason for this is the surface type at Aerosoft ESSA taxiways for whatever reason is gravel rather than asphalt in P3Dv2 and hence the jumpy ride. Here's a short clip showing this looking at the dirt behind the wheels of this Norwegian B738 taxiing. Anyone else noticed this and managed to fix it or know how it could be fixed? Of course the most natural thing would be to ask Aerosoft if they could look into this but considering the age of this scenery I'm afraid it's highly unlikely Aerosoft would invest any time into fixing this issue and especially in P3Dv2 which …

    I don't know if this is the best forum to post this question or not, but since I use P3D exclusively this is where I decided to ask. I like to fly on Pilot Edge and sometimes I want to record segments of my flights to play back later. I use a USB headset with microphone to communicate with PilotEdge ATC. The issue I am having is Shadowplay will record the aircraft sounds and my voice but it will not record sounds I hear through the headset. In Windows 7, I have my headset enabled as the default audio device. Inside P3D sound settings, there are 3 drop down menus to establish what sound goes where. I have voice reception and voice output set to my headset and I h…

  11. Hello, I just had to break off a flight in P3D on Vatsim, because my rudder pedals somehow disconnected. After replugging them, I lost all the controls in P3d (Saitek yoke and throttle quadrant). I'm wondering if there is a simple option to let P3D recognize the controls after they are plugged in, while the sim is already running. At the moment I'm quite annoyed. I do not have much time for simming, so when I finally have the NGX setup and everything, and than have to break off the flight because my rudder pedals somehow unplugged is really irritating. Not enough time to start the flight over again.... I'm using FSUIPC for my controls. The controllers do show up i…

    Hello all. I might be an idiot thinking about this. If I am, feel free to tell me so... But as my fiancé and kid are out of the house until tomorrow, I was thinking how I best entertain myself this evening. I was thinking about reading a good book out in the sunshine, maybe while zipping on a nice glass of red. But... Then my eyes fell upon my installation of P3D. It is actually functioning quite well (Well, kind of. There are some problems with micro stutter now and then, but apart from that it's ok). It's just that I'm still on version 2.3. Much because I think it works kind of ok (it has since that FFTF-tweak I did months ago). I've been pondering for some t…

  14. There's a great tool called FSX GA Traffic that I've used for a few years to quickly and easily generate worldwide AI traffic. I Know I had the bloomin' thing working in P3D at some point, but I did a fresh install recently and can't sort out how to make it work now. Basically, it's not able to see any of my planes, and the "Planes" tab is empty. I've tried using it along with the Estonia Migraton Tool, without success. I know this is probably an obscure utility for obscure usage, but I'm hoping someone has solved this particular issue. I miss my AI traffic.

  15. I've looked at the Scenery.cfg for Vector, and I've installed the latest libs and what not, I keep getting scenery a not found error, in the scenery.cfg I noticed that each of the Areas it cannot find the scenery to, are bascially all of the areas that are changed by Vector. So my feeling is, that means that it is not installing properly, what do I do? I got this working before somehow I think. Also I know there is an FTX Central 2, where is that located, and how do I uninstall it, so I can reinstall it later?

  19. I've been experiencing a missing scenery element error, and the only thing I've found is to "uninstall then reinstall." My question is how do I do this the right way? I have an original scenery.cfg that I used to do it the first couple of times, but apparently that didn't work, so is there an uninstaller for orbx products? I've been searching the web and been unable to find one for these two. What do I do?

  20. Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere; it was news to me (but maybe I am the last one to discover this): If you enable HDR in the settings, then save a flight, then decide to disable HDR again and reload that saved flight it will _still_ have HDR enabled for all the views that you used with the HDR setting on. If you take a look at the flight.xml you will see a postprocess tag for HDR within those views. Same goes for FXAA and (I guess) for any other enhancements defined by means of postprocessing. Something to keep in mind when you're tinkering around with settings to get the best performance.

  22. My system has two monitors, one for the main view out of the cockpit (which I also use to pan around in the cockpit to reach controls), and one monitor in my hardware panel, used for the basic-6 part of the panel. Downside is that this type of setup cuts my FPS in half, so I've set up a LAN, where each monitor gets it's own PC and I've connected them through P3D's multi-player in shared cockpit mode. In some aircraft it's working fine, but in a few, A2A c182 and RealAir T Duke from what I've tested so far, as soon as I start the engine, the whole world starts bouncing up and down on the client PC, like I'm a head-bobbing figurine on top of the dashboard. With the T Duke…
