    Hi guys I've just tried to install PAJN. It seems that the surrounding marshland has installed but not the buildings themselves. I also cannot see any sign of the installation in FTX Central. I've used Estonia Migration for the installation as there is no P3D installer for PAJN. Obviously I'm missing a simple trick, but not sure what.

    Since yesterday, when I installed a couple of addons, I get a VPatch error message when starting P3D saying that I dont have the the right Patch. When I uninstall Migration tool the message is gone. I downloaded the latest version from the website (which was the same as I already had), but this didnt change anything. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  4. I can't recall ever see white caps while flying over the ocean... even in high winds. Are there any? Are there any add-ons that add white caps? It seems they should show up even under moderate conditions.

    I don't know if this is unique to P3D or not but the problem is that after saving a flight which already has a flight plan loaded, next time I resume the flight the flight plan would be lost. Is there a way to save a flight while also having the loaded flight plan saved too? If not is there a way that after resuming the saved flight the flight plan can be reloaded without resetting the flight back to the starting point?

    Hello everyone, I tried to post on the main DSR topic but my question was buried beneath everything else, so I'll try to make a new thread. Anyway, I must be doing something wrong, but I can't get DSR to work with P3D. On FSX it works perfectly, and the result is great, but I'm not having the same results in P3D. Here's the deal: when I change the resolution on the P3D options and go full screen (with alt+enter), my desktop resolution changes, so all I get is a huge mouse cursor, but P3D keeps the same resolution from before, I don't get the tiny menubar. I just get this huge mouse cursor, and my desktop goes to the new resolution, but there's no effect in P3D. …

  16. Hi, I'm trying to stabilize my P3D install by finishing up some last installs, therefore I have two questions. I have the x-55 Rhino and I would like to set the Aileron Trim Axis to one of my rotaries, as I have done with my Elevator Trim Axis. However, I'm unable to find this axis in the Prepar3D menu. Second of all, the x-55 has a slider (SBK if I recall correct) which in FSX I could instantly use as my speedbrake wihout any tricks or fancy stuff, however in P3D I cannot get P3D to accept that slider as a Speedbrake. Has anyone had any luck with this? Thanks in advance! Mark

    FSX will slowly but surely leave my computer system. I'm already very impressed with the latest P3D version 2.1. I had to buy the P3D Version of the iFly737NG (3.2) just to see what a 737 flight would be like in the latest version. Amazing DX11 gave me total sunlight in the cockpit. I tried a short flight from KLAX to KSFO over MSE V2 scenery and saw fps around 50-60 for most of the flight. Inside the VC was the only time I saw frames drop, sometimes to 28. I disabled the VC Mipmap setting during the flight and my fps shot up to 90-100 before settling down to between 30 and 50 for most of the flight. Wingviews were consistently over 50 fps. Not sure why the fps sud…

    Pretty sure I will not have FSX installed for another week. I have just jumped to P3D with all my compatible orbx enhancements and must say I am very impressed. I use Opus but am thinking of going the ASN route. I am currently using Flight Enviro X texture sets and am very pleased (per opus' advice) as I like the soft natural look of them. What are you guys using for cloud textures? Does ASN provide its own? Thank you. Dan

    Hi there, to celebrate my intro to P3D period (yes, complete P3D neewb), I purchased a pro license for V2 last night. And while I'm still in awe about the cockpit lighting effects, I apparently have some texture issues. My settings in P3D are pretty much default. I was wondering if anyone would know why my textures are extremely muddy looking? I don't think they're blurry, at least not in a way FSX made textures blurry, they're just not sharp. I'm also having a hard time with the vc cockpit textures, they're pretty hard to read, again they look very blurred (numbers only - eg. airspeed indicator). I've tried to play with the various internal P3D settings, but …

    I'm a little screwed up with my P3D v2.4 and EZCA. I have Windows 8.1, with FSX installed (before any version of P3D). EZCA worked fine with FSX. When I started P3D 2.0 (around the end of last year), I recall I downloaded shortly after an EXCA .exe file that would work with P3D... this replaced EZCA.exe v1.7, as I recall. I have upgraded P3D v2.x through all of it's versions, in each case a clean install, other than v2.4 where I patched v2.3. Maybe that's the issue, patching rather than a clean install...... since patching to v2.4, as P3D starts, I get the error: FSX Process not found. FSX_handle: 0. EZCA still starts and runs OK, if I ignore this err…
