    Hi everyone, For some reason my TIR is not working with 2,4 I have a fresh install of W7 64 with all updates installed, and a fresh install of P3D2.4. I have installed only Orbx Global and FSUIPC in P3D2.4. TIR works in its own configuration window when I assign setting etc, but when I start P3D it's dead. I have tried starting both TIR and P3D as administrator, which has been suggested as a fix, but with the same result. It is the first time I have experienced this in years, so stumped as to what might be the cause. Has anyone else come accross this? Cheers

    Well after having a chat with my good friend Rick (VC10man) I decided to bite the bullet and purchase P3D 2.5. Currently downloading. I recently had to get a new HDD, so had to re install FSX for the first time in 4 years, and when I installed it, and started adding all my hundreds of addons, was flying around testing it, I came to the conclusion, that it did not look so good anymore. It felt like MS Train Simulator I just have a few questions, and the first one I will ask LM directly, but before I do, I thought I would ask here. 1: I was charged about $8 sales tax. Not sure why, as here in NZ, we do not pay any sort of tax on online purchases. Is this correct …

  4. I am running version 2.5 of P3D and installed Ultimate Traffic II using the latest version of the Migration Tool. After installation I set weekly and daily traffic density to 100% and clicked the update buttons. Under database management I selected all under UT2 daily and weekly official and selected save display changes for each. I then updated the time zone file to the latest available date. Under the Prepar3d.cfg I added the simobjects path line. When I start P3D I hear the Ultimate Traffic Initialized message and see a whole bunch of general aviation traffic but no airline traffic. I have verified UT Services is running. I've done a lot of research and I may have misu…

    I assume the answer is yes, but want to be sure before I install P3D. Does Prepar3D exist well on a computer with FSX installed? P3 D will be on its own hdd bit Ill want to install FSUIPC, ASN, etc. on P3D. Right now I have FSX running with MANY addons. I don't want to create a conflict in the registry or any place else. Anything to be aware of? Thanks.

    This is so weird. A quarter of an hour ago, I was flying the PMDG777-300ER on a long haul flight out of EBBR, and had reached cruise, then decided to save the flight. Prior to that I'd installed GSX. Now, when I try to re-start P3D, it shows up in the taskbar for a few seconds, then disappears. Anyone any idea what the hell is going on?

    Hello everyone, Yesterday I purchased Prepar3D 2.5 and spent most of last night installing everything and tweaking some settings (thanks Rob for the settings on his website). So far the experience has been excellent, however I have a couple of questions. Firstly, I have a problem with ASN that I've never seen before. I get a message about ASN not being able to control the ambient weather conditions and it will now close. I have ASN installed to C:\Hifi\AS_NextP3D, and I run it as administrator, so I am not sure what is causing this issue to occur. http://i.imgur.com/i4tS2bO.png Secondly, when in the virtual cockpit of the 777 and I look up at the over…

    FYI, there appears to be a problem between Steve's GoFlight Interface Tool and the PMDG entries in the DLL.XML ... this has not been confirmed by Steve yet, but a quick solution (if you want to use GIT with other aircraft) is to disable the PMDG entry in the DLL.XML when using other aircraft and GIT. Obviously you will need to re-enable the entry when you want use PMDG 777. <Launch.Addon> <Name>PMDG Interface</Name> <Disabled>True</Disabled> <Path>PMDG\DLLs\PMDG_Interface.dll</Path> <DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName> <DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName> </Launch.Add…

    So after downloading for the entire day (I have slow line...), I was finally ready to install P3D. When installation is nearly complete, I get a windows failure message telling me something went wrong (the same one you will see with a CTD). Looking at the error log, it crashed because of a problem with MSVCR110.dll. The installation program itself does not close and it will complete the installation. When I try to launch P3D, I get an error message telling me that MSVCR110_CLR0400.dll is missing and the program closes. Anyone with some advice here? It could be some corrupt files in my download (I downloaded the files one by one, not the whole installer at once), but I…

    Howard (Rockcliffe) suggested that as I am getting great performance and results from P3D 2.0, I might share my settings in the hope that they may work for others. I offer these as merely "one man's settings" ; I have never believed in "FS Bibles" or the guru's that they are attributed to :wink: so these settings may do nothing on your system, but hopefully someone may find them of some use. In any event, these relate solely to ATI graphics cards (I use a HD 7850 2 GB) ========================================== Prepar3D.cfg tweaks Yes, I have some tweaks in the CFG. Specifically, the Affinity Mask one prevents some CTDs that were occuring before it…

    Hi there, I'm trying to configure my P3D but I'm having a real hard time getting decent fps, my issue is that as I contently monitor my hardware (custom water cooling rig) I noticed my CPU and GPU utilization barely ever got higher than 35% for the GPU, 45% for the CPU and about 40% of my Ram was ever used. The CPU is an i5 3570k overclocked at 4.6Ghz The GPU is a GTX 970 4Gb Gamer edition from MSI. P3d doesn't even get its fan started no matter the fps. 16 GB of DDR3 ram (4x4) at 1600 MHz Note that the resolution is for an extra wide 34" Screen 3440x1440 Changing to lower resolutions such as regular 1440p & 1080p resolutions didn't have any impact on FPS…
