If the stutters disappeared at EFHK and the scenario is fluid, I am left with the same problems as stutters on the ESGP default scenario. In particular, by making an external 360 ° pan of the plane on the runway 19 header, the stutters are more evident and prolonged. They disappear only if in P3D Options - World - Scenery object - Autogen and scenery draw distance I put in Medium / Low while already with Hight they are evident and if I put in Very hight / Extremely Hight, while panning, P3D freezes for several seconds.

Hi, I hate those UTLive Daleus liveries appearing everywhere in v2, any easy way to get rid of them? If not should I just go back to v1? What is the real advantage of v2 beta over v1? Will I be losing anything? I think the models look much better in v2... is there a way to just drag and drop the v2 ones into v1? Would that be the best interim solution? AIG I do not consider since I don't have the patience to start installing separate packages etc... Thanks!

I know that there was some criticism of the updated ground handling physics when PMDG released the 737NGXu, but I am curious to know what the real world airliner pilots think about this. I use the previous version 737NGX, a version of the 777 that is too old to be updated, and the latest version of the 747-400 in P3Dv4. That being the case, I have the old ground physics in the 737 and 777, and the new physics in the 747. Of course, I do not have any experience with the real planes, so I am not able to say which is more accurate. However, my opinion is that the ground physics of the 777 feel more realistic than the 747. When I turn the 777 on the ground, I feel a bit of re…

Yesterday I installed P3Dv5.3. What a performance improvement over v5.2. I have a saved flightplan I use for measuring performance. It starts a Gnoss Field in Novato California (KDVO) and ends at San Francico IAP (KSFO). About a 20 minute flight that covers rural areas, urban areas and a large city. In P3Dv5.2 I started out at 30 FPS and by the time I overflying San Francisco I was down to 13-16 FPS. With v5.3 I am a steady 35-45 FPS all the way. In P3Dv5.2 I has several skips along the way at various places. I had 3-4 second pause over the Richmond Bridge. 4-5 second pauses at Angel Island and Alcatraz. With v5.3 I got a single pause over San…

Now a few hours into the V4 development stream. I have to say, that the method of installing addon packages into the Documents folder and P3D looking them up automatically is really awesome! No need to fiddle with any of the config files or to copy content into central folders. Unless of course that is the point of your addon, like automated gauge installers, addons altering the aircraft.cfg etc. Those should take care to check the encoding. btw. an addon package allows for absolute paths too, so a scenery or aircraft developer could let the user choose the installation path at will while still retaining the add-on.xml file in the proper place. Prepar3D will then dis…

Hello, I'm about to start my first flight in v5. Wil try with EA on. Any lighting settings recommendation to make it look realistic? Shomron

Hi, I don't intend to build a full home cockpit. But would like to have PFD , ECAS etc on external screen. I had ZHSI at Zibo at the time... This made it possible to use a second computer. How can I do that with PMDG? I can undock PFD Display... But as soon as I drag to second screen the FPS drop. Do you have tipps for me ? thx

Since installing 5.3 HF1+ I have a weird lighting issue. If move or pan around, the lights appear to just go off. Please take a look at the following screenshots: Taxiing at DD JFK lights are on: https://imgur.com/271n2db Just pan a bit on view and lights are off on terminal: https://imgur.com/BnkS3yR Parked at terminla all lights on: https://imgur.com/qiCkxiO Pan a little down and all lights go off: https://imgur.com/8sYASgn Can anyone help with this?

I don’t know if I’m just a delusional nerd, but I am seeing a recent increase in activity, since the release of P3Dv5.3, in the P3d forum. This is, quite frankly, getting me pretty pumped. I hope this continues, since P3d is still by far my sim of choice. Cheers, Pete

Add ons add up! no pun intended.... at some point you just lose track of all the airports and other add ons you have. As I am doing a clean reinstall, I find myself scratching my head trying to remember all of the airports. So, once I get everything installed, I was wondering if there is an easy way to dump all of the add on info into a file? Will make it much easier next time! thanks!

Hi to All from EDDF! Currently I am seeking for a addon airport at geneva working without tweaking in P3DV5.3. I´ve found: FSDreamteam 2013 RFSceneryBuilding 2015 Aerosoft 2019 The latter one seems the most actual one. But as I like to avoid to buy any addons from this supplier, I asked myself is this it? Maybe I didn´t find something other/recent once then these, or I missed another one which has good quality and works with v5. I´m sure I will find someone here who has good advice 😉 If these are the once available, how is the Aerosoft working? Especially the Dynamic Lights at night, which are sometimes a real issue with them (Ha…

P3dv4, Cessna 410, flight from PAMR to PAKN, ATC changed altitudes 8 times in less than 45 minutes. Started out at 5000, up to 5600, down to 5000 up to 6800 back down to 5000, up to 11000, down to 6300, back up to 11000 and down again to 6300. Light GA traffic. Another from PAHO to PAMR, ATC left me 11 miles out at 7000. with no alternatives, had to close out ATC and circle to land. Is this uncommon, in both cases the flight was in Mountainous terrain, in the first case if I had descended as instructed it would have place me below the highest elevation. Is there a addon ATC program that is better than the default? Thank you

After much adjusting and various rebuilds of my P3d cfg file, I was able to get v5.3 to achieve tolerable frame rates while at the gate (Flightsim Studios CYVR) Night FPS are a much different story; my initial fps before even powering the aircraft have dropped from 24 to 13. This is with a Ryzen 2700x 8 core, running at 4.1ghz. What am I missing? VRAM is at 2.5 ghz so it's not taxing the graphics card at all. Any suggestions?

Hello, I'm pretty sure I de-activated P3D v4.5 Academic when I uninstalled the program to resolve an issue, to double the RAM and upgrade the hard disk. When I tried to re-install, by individually launching the *.exe and the *.msi files; I received a message indicating that the Setup was successful. However, I could not locate the P3D icon on the desktop (Win 10 Pro, 64-bit with lots of space on all drives. I am logged in as an administrator.). Looking into the install folder I noticed that there were no files in the root folder (the total folder size including the subfolders is about 26+ GB). I've done this a couple of time and each time I get a set-up successful me…

Hi, remember the citation 10 in P3D3? I recently reinstalled it, added a registered FSUIPC and updated the database with the 2111 manual installer by navigraph. Unfortunately the waypoints don’t seem to sequence after takeoff or in the air. (I tried direct-to as well). I can’t login to the ESDG forums. Hopefully I may get some help here.

Hi there, I haven't done a flight in a while at night, I'm using latest P3D V5 & also the latest ASP3D and i'm seeing this white band of haze / cloud at night. Its also there during the day, it doesn't seem to move. Does anyone else have this? or any idea what it is or how to prevent it? All i know is it wasn't there before.

I recently purchased FSXcenery's add-on airport scenery for Boise / KBOI. I also have Orbx global, vector, and central rocky mountain regions installed. There is an elevation conflict however that shows up by the airport being on a plateau and the grass areas between runways and taxiways are sunken down. This issue was posted on the Orbx forum by another user who reported that he got replacement AFCAD file(s) from another Orbx forum member which solved the problem. I've tried to DM both members trying to get the corrected AFCAD file(s) but haven't gotten any response. Does anyone have or know where I can obtain "corrected" AFCAD files for the FSXcenery's KBOI airp…

Guys, suddenly I get a strange issue since yesterday. After installing new windows updates my P3D does not start anymore. I only get the loading screen, chaseplane starts also automaticly but that's it. The scenario startup screen never comes. Since yersterday I tried several solutions but nothing helped: - uninstall Windows Update - install Update again - delete P3D.cfg - delete scenery.cfg - delete add-ons.cfg And let them all rebuild - delete Shaders - uninstall and reinstall Client - uninstall and reinstall Scenery - uninstall and reinstall Content - delete generated Files - delete copmplete Prepare…

Default flight. VolSky enabled. Vol Clouds Ultra. Active Sky latest beta. Overcast : https://www.dropbox.com/s/53cm3yqipyaejxa/Foto 02-12-2021 09 44 10.heic?dl=0 Still flat and repetitive on my pc… Without AS it looks slightly better.

I was feeling nostalgic and decided to visit my old FBO at ESGP. Granted it is a default airport so I wasn't expecting much. But no way did I expect it to be a stutter fest (1-2 FPS at times) I've tried default F35, A2A Cessna. Summer and winter seasons. All scenarios produced the same unplayable result. I do have ORBX ESGG installed, which is located very close to ESGP, but no stutters at ESGG when I fly around that airport I flew a short hop from ESGG to ESGP in the C172 using RXP GNS430. Stutters started when I had roughly 8NM to ESGP and got progressively worse until overhead ESGP when P3D stopped responding for a while. It never CTD though. Can a…

a) Is it systems-wise as deep as PMDG? I know that's a pretty general question, but I think anyone who has both can answer that. I am happy with a generel "yes, absolutely" or "no, rather like Aerosoft/QualityWings". b) Does it have random failures like PMDG or FSL or Leonardo? I often set random failures on every other flight (setting: 1 failure in 10 hours). And does it have as many failures as PMDG? c) Does it have (working) panel states like PMDG or FSL or Leonardo? (= saving panel state with all button/switch/dialer positions and aircraft fluids etc.) It's really important for me to have a reason to do the complete checklist, not knowing that every switch will …

Dear: I installed P3D v4 and v5 in my desktop. Can I install them in my laptop too? Regards, Haseen Ahmad.

dont remember seeing this folder in the p3d Root before ?

I have noted that flight plans created externally to P3D which are then exported/imported into P3D are either corrupted or modified by P3D in terms of the legs and time intervals no longer matching. I use Little Navmap which also integrates perfectly into the real world SkyVectors planning and mapping system without any issues. The plans are correct in all aspects in Little Navmap and Sky Vector and they import into LM P3D but the time intervals are not being read correctly so for example 1 hour or 1.0 hours as a time interval will be transposed into 10 minutes and 240 minutes as a leg time into 24 minutes in the P3D nav log. I know P3D had an issue misreading previo…
