The Prepar3d Forum

Anyone have it for Prepar3d v2 ? Will it work without tinkering or other progs ? Thanks,

Since NV seems to have gone out of fashion, does anyone care to offer up suggestions as to what setting are best in the Nvidia control panel for P3D V2.4? Sorry if I am behind the curve. This stuff is a bit out there for me LOL.

It might not the best place to ask this question but since I only fly P3D I just ask here first. I replaced my GTX580 with 780ti a while ago. Now I start using my second monitor for instruments, GPS etc during flight and I can notice that there are definitely some fps drops with those extra windows open on the 2nd monitor. I wonder if I put the GTX 580 back and connect the 2nd monitor to it will that help reducing the performance drop? Right now to put back the 580 I need to upgrade my 630W powersupply first, hence I'm asking whether there is noticeable benefit of doing this. I'll eventually move up to 2x GTX980 once P3D is SLI ready...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for recommendations for a graphics card that can run P3D maxed out with ORBX and REX texture and scenery addons on 3 monitors. Also, is it possible to use different graphics cards in one system? For example, the main graphics card would power 3 monitors connected via Matrox Triple while the second, likely lower end card, would power a 4th touchscreen monitor for the instruments. I know an alternative method is to use a separate computer for the 4th screen for instruments but I'm not a fan of that and would prefer avoiding that if possible. Alternatively, the Kensington Multi-display adapter might be an option for the 4th display instea…

The last update the same Can't Control Ambient Weather happened. Had to wait awhile for a fix. Now the same error after installing P3D V2.4 update. The update (not full install) went perfectly and no files had to be restored. I know little about the nuances of ASN and only use it with no fiddling. I assume I am not alone with this error.

I have my sim set to use system time by default is there any easy way to get it to recognize the correct time of day when changing locations? This seems pretty basic but whenever I fly in Europe, or Asia I have to Google the local time there and set it manually in the sim. (Since my default system time is central standard time US) Is this how you all do it to or did I miss something along the way when moving to P3Dv2.4 Thanks,

or have they given up for version 2.X ? I'm a little confused here. It was supposed to come in an early service pack after 2.0, isn't it ? I understand that there were some difficulties in implementing it. Have they said anything about it ?

Just got P3D2. I see the GUI is different but mostly still like FSX. Unfortunately my CH throttle doesn't work too well.... it's enabled and I can set buttons on it but the throttle won't work. Also I set buttons on the throttle and they won't save. Additionally can P3D2 work with Track ir 5?

In Prepar3D I seem to be missing some effect because irregardless of what aircraft I choose I get black smoke, sometimes these look like larger squares flying around, when I zoom in. The effect I am talking about is the smoke when landing, braking hard, etc. Is this a bug of Prepar3D or is something wrong?

Hello all I am runnig v2.4, previously without any issue, however today i have had 2 ctd involving KERNELBASE.dll. First one was going through the control menus, second one was on descent into LFMN. This is the event log; Faulting application name: Prepar3D.exe, version: 2.4.11570.0, time stamp: 0x542314d3 Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.1.7601.18409, time stamp: 0x53159a86 Exception code: 0xc00000fd Fault offset: 0x0000dd59 Faulting process id: 0x640 Faulting application start time: 0x01cfebb8d332a088 Faulting application path: B:\P3D\Prepar3D.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\syswow64\KERNELBASE.dll Report Id: f880669e-57ba-11e4-b970-1c6f65d94…

All the buzz has been about DSR but has anyone with a GTX9xx card tried nvidia's Multi-Frame Sampled Anti-Aliasing in P3D. http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/multi-frame-sampled-anti-aliasing-delivers-better-performance-and-superior-image-quality thanks, gb.

This is only for Prepar3d so what would you get or what have you got. I run Orbx vector ,global and OpenLC plus Rex textures and the Aerosoft A318/19.very heavy hit with MytrafficX 3d and UK2000 airports. I'm using a 770GTX with 2mb and it's not quite up to it.so the question is... what card and will the extra 2mb of onboard memory help .is the much of a difference between the two?? thanks for any thoughts steve

Howdy All I would appreciate the benefit of the wisdom and experience, particularly those of you who are across various sim platforms - FSX, P3D, XP10 etc with 777 configurations. My background is extensive 777 experience with Emirates and Virgin Australia. I train in the aircraft, develop training and standards manuals and other content for my airline. Behind this I have a degree in Computer Science and 35 years of building and tinkering with computers. I ran MS Flt Sim when it was first released and it was the definitive test of a new PC. However I really haven't sim'd on my PC for 15 years or more (I get to play with bigger simulators these days) but recent eve…

hi i dont know why my P3D scenery and ground textures is loaded slowly, the buildings are appears squarely (Loaded squarely), here is a picture : also i got severe tearing when i am close to the Clouds (i use REX4 2048 Clouds and Texture resolution inside the p3D is 2048). Thx.

Any gotten this to work in P3d 2.3 or 4? The lvl d base pack works, but once I update it to include the winglet model, it crashes the sim

Hi folks, I made the 'jump' as it were this evening and bought P3D2.4. I'm just in the process of setting it all up and generally things were going well, until I came across one BIG showstopper :- I cannot get Vsync working in P3D2.4 under any circumstances. :( I'm using an ATI 7850 GB card. I've tried the Vsync settings within P3D2.4, and also the Vsync settings within ATI CCC (and a combination of both), and even downloaded RadeonPro, which I thought was going to save my day ....... but even with the Vsync fix applied in the "Tweaks" page of RadeonPro, I still have dreadful tearing. I use TrackIR so tearing is hugely more obvious. In FSX, I…

Using FTX Global with P3D and will most likely uninstall it when a new patch comes for P3D since I don't want to use the patch upgrade, rather a new installer for P3D. If I choose to uninstall FTX Global, could someone explain me the steps needed for a complete uninstall? I have the uninstaller and made a backup folder, but I'm confused how to do it. I read the instructions that came with the uninstaller, but am confused. I just want to make sure the program is uninstalled correctly so I can do a reinstall with nothing left over. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advanced.

Hi I'm comintg to this a bit late,but I would like to learn the various options with texture shading and multisampling but I have no idea on where to begin. Most threads have me confused in parts and I am not sure what setting effects what ! Is there anything on the forum that explains how to start tweaking but from a class 101 beginner point. I have tried reading some of the threads regarding ni settings and nvidia control panel settings but I have no real idea on what i'm doing or noticing any difference in the sim after blindly trying them So the only way I see it is trying to understand what does what, any help on where to look please thanks

With my setup, i'm frequently playing 3D games.. so the stereoscopic checkbox in screen resolutions or in the nvidia control panel is usually checked.. but this is for games and not prepar3d. I found that if i let this setting stay checked, even if 3D is not turned on via control T in Prepar3D i lose an average of 8-10 fps to start (paused or otherwise). Obviously if i close it down and uncheck and reload, then all is well again. I was hoping to override the "checkbox" somehow via an nvidia profile.. i've tried some of the new stereo off options in nvidiainspector 1.9.73.. but they didnt make a difference, as i think this is more hardware based. Worst case…

i have had to go back to v2.3 as the textures are so blurrie any body else having this problem. this was a fresh windows install and fresh prd3d install went back to v2.3 and every thing looks fine now. regards ted kiser

These square trails are persistent with the Aerosoft 319 (newest version) remedy?

Some time ago, Justflight gave away a Boeing 757 package for FSX called 757JetlinerFREEMIUM_New.exe. You had to go to their site and do a free registry and then you could download the plane, which I did. It was a full version complete with things I do not know how to use, like the FMC, etc. However, the panel has steam gauges and an auto pilot, so you can fly it just like the DC-3, just a little faster and higher. I decided to see if it would work in P3D and tried to install it from my original download file. No joy. It would not work. I went to the website. I do not see the offer on their main page any more, but maybe it is there and I just didn't see it. I went to my ac…

It appears that Haswell-e is just around the corner (next month, NDA released as of Aug 29th for reviews). In looking at various sources it doesn't sound as though its that much of an upgrade at least for FSX/Prepar3D users, though possibly a slight performance boost if comparing i7-4930k and the newer i7-5930k (but lower clock speeds with haswell-e). There doesn't appear to be any change in pcie lanes, still 40.. so if you are a multi-gpu person (3) then no benefits (for other gaming). The ram is going to be DDR4 (2133), which probably wont be a huge advantage anytime soon. The more "powerful" i7-5960x is to be 8/16 core with a base clock of 3.0ghz and 3.5 in t…

Hello folks, I have a bunch of Saitek hardware that I have been using with FSX and now that I have P3D on its way to me, I was wondering if anyone is using any of this hardware with P3D? I sent an email to LM and got a response that they didn't understand the question.

Hi ! Is there any good reviews on weather generators lately, FS Global RW ,REX, REX4, ASN, OPUS ? I would really like to read some reviews that comparing the products with pro's & con's and preferably related withs P3D. Cheers Bigsweede Sweden
