I had Ulitimate Traffic Live working in P3Dv5.3 but I was having some other issues and had to do a complete reinstall of P3D. I reinstalled UTLive in my copy of P3Dv4.5 and moved the utLive2 folder to my P3Dv5 Addons folder. When I started P3Dv5 it asked if I wanted to enable UTLive and I clicked Yes. Ultimate Traffic Live 2 is listed in the Options/Addons library but it is not in the Add-ons drop down menu and aircraft are not being displayed in my scenery. I'm not sure what I did wrong this time. Jerry

I can't figure out why the code in the exe.xml file below won't run when placed in either folder C:\Users\Dadmin\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 ... or in ... C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 The program runs fine if I run it using the Windows desktop shortcut. Do you see anything wrong in the file? Does P3D create a run log so that I can check for errors?

Hello, Looking for assistance setting up a P3D Majestic Q400 simulator. Ideally someone in the Anchorage, Alaska area, although it probably can be accomplished via phone or internet (Teams). Open to other suggestions as well. Thanks, Arcticflyer

Following an upgrade of P3D from 5.2 to 5.3 after simulator load I get an EZCA error message "Sound buffer cannot be made" and the various EZCA options windows are inoperable. Whenever I click on a camera in the main screen I get the same "Sound buffer cannot be made" error. Repeated full uninstalls and reinstalls of the latest version have failed to correct the problem. EZCA was working without issues on P3D5.2 and it continues to work normally in P3D4.5 . I mentioned this matter as an aside in a previous post but the problem persists and after several days I have had no response from the EZCA ticket support system or in the EZCA support forum. Any assistance apprec…

Hi Guys. Running the latest version for V5 of this software. Even tried uninstalling and reinstalling today. My dynamic lighting is completely off at the terminals here. Same for a buddy of mine. Has anybody been able to get this working? Tried reaching out to T2G a few weeks ago, but haven't heard back. thanks. dave

It seems that this airplane needs some help to work with windows 11. On their forum the problem is mentioned and a fix is mentioned (DLL file). However it is not mentioned where this fix is located. I'd like to use this plane. Anybody else have advice to get it working? Thanks. http://majesticsoftware.com/forums/discussion/1239/windows-11-compatibility#latest

The update brining Orbx airports to P3D v4 is now available to download in FTX Central!

The servers at Alpha India Group have suffered a serious issue and no downloads are currently possible. They don't know how long it's going to take to fix. Given this is a free service it would probably help them with any hardware costs if some money flowed in. If you'd like to make a donation follow this link please. https://www.alpha-india.net/forums/index.php?topic=29610.0

Can't seem to get it working. Any ideas? Thanks

Anyone know how to get buildings showing? All else works fine. Thanks

Hey, I searched for the mjc84 paintkit and I couldn't find it. Does someone have it or know where I can find?

So this was just released for P3D. Looks good but does not say if it has night textures. Anyone know? https://secure.simmarket.com/alpine-simulations-atlanta-cityscape-p3d3-5.phtml

Hi, Not a big deal just wondering if anybody else has this issue. Notice yesterday the textures are missing from the rotating airport beacons, both airports I tested are default airports. The white/green light works ok and rotates at night, but there are no textures on the beacon model object. Not sure which version the textures went missing. I running 5.3HF2. When I upgraded from HF1 + Lightfix, I did a full uninstall and reinstall - Client, Content and Scenery and also the ORBX verify and sync. I mentioned this because, if somebody just updated the client only, the airport beacon missing texture issue might not show up. John C.

hi. I started using pbr liveries with p3d v4 but theres an issue with it. when I used a third party a350, the wingtip produced some weird black spot at the tip of the winglet, and I dont know why its being produced. it only shows when its not faced torward the sun. if someone could help me that would be great. thanks (P.S. if i placed this in the wrong forum dont blame me i just started using avsim)

Hi Guys, Every time I visit Orbx Australia I get the dreaded graphics memory running out...Anywhere else in the world I run fine on exactly the same settings, just Australia.. Any ideas?

Hi all, Posted this over at A2A first; lotsa views, no posts though. Got a weird windshield/rain issue. This only occurs with the A2A 182 which I fly currently. I start ASP3D (latest version 8054), load a new scenario, P3D starts and it starts raining viewed form the VC. Go outside, no rain. After about thirty seconds, it stops but the drops remain on the windshield. Start the identical scenario with a Carenado Commander (stock aircraft), no rain. I've uninstalled/reinstalled the 182, no change. Started AS prior to and after P3D start, no change. P3D Version 5.3.12.28072 Any ideas where this is coming from? Thanks, Mark

I have been for about a month 'hang wringing' and flipping between the clear 'out to the far mountains 50 miles out' of not running with E.A. on...but....(and here's my hand wringing...) as much as I love to see all the 'candy' clear out 50 miles...it JUST AIN'T R.L. I know...that...and have finally today with flying HF2...decided that I will always now fly with E.A. as enabled. It does, look R.L. and I admit, so many times in real life flying...that there are many days, even in so called 'clear sky'...that your vision to the ground is disturbed by hazy atmospherics, especially on hot and humid Summer days. So...if I want to see what' 'there' is 50 miles away in O…

Like probably everybody, in learning about the early stages (or announcements) for MSFS, I was so hyped beyond crazy! Wow...a sim that would be based on actual photo sat imagery, with 'intelligent' A.I. superimposed over the 2D landscape. I thought that I had died and gone to Heaven! Then the RTM version. Yep..I did 'die and went to Sim Heaven'. Never before a sense of real life, or realism. This was fantastic! Then....the endless cycles of down tuning, (in my view) visual graphical reduction, since RTM release, one after another code breaks, one update to fix the broken last....until well, for myself, The 'fragrant scent left off the Rose'. I cam…

Hi , I was testing some AM settings in P3dV5.3HF2 (AM253,253,0,1,2 vs 253,253,0,2,4 and possible placebo might make use 0,1,2 here) and was sitting at Gate B23 in FT EHAM 2.1 with the MaddogX. I have NVI monitor open with GPU usage showing and noticing some strange behaviour. Sitting at the gate in VC with outer landing lights on the GPU is about at 90% and very very smooth sim. But when enabling nose lights also the GPU monitor usage goes to 50% and stutter occure until disabling it. Maybe the NVI monitor cant show GPU (150%) hence the 50% ? Thanks Michael Moe Michael Moe

Ich fliege mit allen möglichen Flugzeugen. Pay,- und Freeware. Gerade aber bei den Freeware - Fliegern bekomme ich fast immer ein Treibstoff - Problem. Ich stelle erst den Flugplan auf und suche dann ein passendes Flugzeug für die Entfernung aus. Dabei richte ich ich nach Reichweiten - Angaben verschiedenster Quellen. Nun passiert es aber oft. dass ich für eine Strecke von zum Beispiel von 1600 nm einen Flieger einen Flieger mit der Reichweite von 3000 nm auswähle, dem aber, vollgetankt gestartet wohlgemerkt, schon nach der Hälfte der Strecke, also ca 800 nm der Sprit ausgeht. Das geht ja bei bei den widrigsten Umständen wohl kaum. Also muss in der Ai…

Does anyone have photoscenery of southern Sweden? I only really need it so that I do not have to look at default scenery when I am on final approach to runway 22L at Copenhagen Kastrup, so it does not even need autogen (although autogen trees would be nice).

There are plenty of updates to P3D airport addons that I would like to see, but I think that the one I would like to see the most would be a new terminal building at Aerosoft Gibraltar Professional with high resolution transparent glass textures and detailed interior modelling. That would make such a difference when parked on the apron. What would be the most desired single update for you? Please note that I am referring to updates of specific sections of existing airport addons, not entire airports.

Thought I would fly my "routine" NZCH to NZQN via Mt Cook in the Vertex DA-62, a flight I have done a LOT without incident. However, the DA-62 woke up "wonky", not in its normal cold-and-dark state, and when I tried to correct things the model would not respond. The normal (excellent) Vertex dashboard was not functioning either. So, I uninstalled and attempted to re-install. No go - I get a "setup error" that kills the installation - the DA-62 appears dead for me... 😞 😞 😞 All Windows scans (i.e., scannow and Dism) indicate a normal (such as it is) and correct Windows environment. Anybody else seen problems with the DA-62? Hoping it is a "trans…

Since I know how fluffy likes ultra realism, I thought that I would take a screenshot of ORBx EGHI Southampton this evening as I was taxiing to the runway. Remember the good old days? https://www.mediafire.com/view/cf3rjwetb4ny5pl/2022-1-24_17-30-7-874_%282%29.jpg/file

From the SOH Forum A P3DV5 compatible Focke Wulf Condor 200A has been uploaded to FlightSim.com. Sparked my curiosity because always found it to be a fascinating aeroplane but previous sim versions were a bit limited. Hauke Kietel has done this one and it is very well done indeed. Comprehensive animations, controls and instrumentation, good sound package and it even includes a complete copy of the original German FW200 pilots manual (dated 1940). Any issues well apart from the fact all the documentation, notes and installation instructions, VC labelling and instrumentation is in German and follows authentically the German instrumentati…
