    I just purchased FSX Global and have noticed that everywhere I fly, the scenery keeps popping up. I believe since I just bought FTX Global, that it would have the latest service pack 1.30. I don't think it's my computer. My computer is a i5 4570k oc to 4.2ghz and a 770gtx. I'm only using the A2A 172R for the flying. I also have FSX and FTX Global on a dedicated hdd that's been defragged. ORBX is new to me and thought I'd purchase global since I don't want to be restricted having to buy separate photo scenery areas. I have watched many youtube videos and haven't noticed any popping up scenery. If anybody knows anything about this and how to fix it, it would be greatly appr…

  6. I have installed the whole Monte, including FTX Global Base Pack, FTX Vector and FTX Europe Open Land Class. All of the Europe Land Class areas are working fine, except for EU7, which is Spain, Southern France and Italy. For some reason all of the rivers in EU7 contain the unwanted trees and buildings in the water. I have uninstalled both the FTX Vector and EuropeOpenLC. Then reinstalled them (downloaded from a different FTX server), updated appropriate FTX updates, and well as the current FTX libraries. I think my scenery.cfg is OK, as I have the vector entries above the landclass ones. I have tried everything I can think of and no luck. I put an entry in t…

  9. Greetings Gentleman, I have a notebook where I run secondary applications on a network to communicate with my main sim machine. I already have Simconnect setup for FSX, but I cannot find any tutorials on setting up Simconnect for P3D. Amongst others, I want to run Active Sky Next on my notebook via Simconnect. I just purchased a new SSD where I installed P3D 2.4 (so clean install) and am setting things up now so that all is ready for when the T7 is released - hopefully this year still. Your expertise would be greatly apprecaited. Thank you and regards, Rene

    I'm slowly getting the hang of P3D and it's a nice simulator indeed! Lots to like but, just like FSX there are things I 'wish' it had. It would be wonderful if I could find a way to get real time weather and have the P3D ATC pay attention to it. I have looked around at the weather engines and such but I'm not sure it would affect how the P3D ATC reacts. Speaking of ATC, some of the airports I have used seem to be deserted even though they have traffic control in real life...one is the South Lake Tahoe airport in California along with a couple of others... I wonder if an addon ATC program would be able to 'generate' ATC for those sort of 'as the need arises'... Ot…

    Hi all. First off let me say, I am an current X-Plane 10.31 user. I do have P3Dv2.4 installed, and i can see its potential. I would REALLY REALLY like to use it....But one thing holds me back, and I have been unable to find any satisfactory answers. Stuttering, ok its not like texture loading or anything like that, its simply like the ground is skipping as I fly. It is noticeable when I look left or right out of the cockpit. I have tried locking frame rate, triple buffering options etc... I am also on the LOWEST settings until I resolve this and then begin cranking them up. Its been like this since the day I bought it, almost 1 year ago. I gave in and stayed …

REX Essential+ Overdrive or FSDT GSX I need them both equally. I want to also make this clear, I do not have any other weather engines. Thanks!

    I'm having some problems using the autopilot on the CRJ 700. No problem setting heading and speed, that works fine unless I'm trying to get it to follow the flight plan in the GPS, then things get strange. Altitude hold is hit or miss at best. Sometimes when I enter an altitude, say 13000, the AP will point the nose either straight up or straight down and I have to scramble to turn it all off if I am to recover at all. As for using the GPS with the AP, it only works sometimes... I think I may be performing the whole action out of sequence. What I do is this: 1. While on the ground, I set the dials for heading, speed, and altitude but do not engage either of those…

    Hi everyone in the P3D world. I realize this has probably been covered to death in various other posts and forums but want some input from experienced P3D users. I have watched with great interest the evolution of P3D and have finally decided to make the jump with version 2.4 being released. Future PMDG compatibility, better GPU utilization, and better stability (at least from what I've read) have all lead to this decision. I've been flight simming since the mid 90's and have used every MS flight sim version produced. My hardware specs are posted in my profile and are more than adequate (I7 3770k, NVIDIA 670FTW z77 based platform). My open question would be this: I re…

    Are there any show stoppers that would block aircraft originally designed for fs9 from working in p3d? I have several awesome freeware planes that are fs9 portovers which work well in fsx. Are they likely to work in p3d too? Specifically I'm thinking of the many fine aircraft from restauravia, especially the Fouga Magister. The Dassault-Dormier Alphajet is another favorite. Does anyone have any experience with these aircraft in p3d?

    Hi, I'm considering to buy the Mindstar GNS 430/530 package. On the web site however, there is absolutely no information provided about the product/functionality... No detailed information, no manual, no images, no video. (If there is, they have kept it secret very good) And, as surplus, no return policy. The description says: The Mindstar GNS430/530 is a flight sim gauge that simulates 1 or 2 Garmin GNS430s or GNS530's To what extend simulates it the GNS430/530??? Normally this lack of information indicates lack of fuctionality and/or quality. Does anyone has the Mindstar GNS gauges, and are they any good? (Both graphic wise and functionality) I don't min…
