After doing a full install of 2.3 along with FTX Global, Vector and FSG2010 I took off from KBUR and have these green belts going through the scenery. I don't recall them being there before. Any thoughts on how to correct? Thanx, Vic http://www.mediafire.com/view/82wo68y78aupv4c/201`4-8-17_11-39-41-186_(Large).jpg

For some reason the type of clouds, along with HDR really can kill performance I use Opus and with HDR on (and the new quick tweak for it), certain angles are horrible. Example, off the side here I've got 30 fps locked, cloud shadows and all. But behind me with more clouds, and the fps almost cut in half. I turned off HDR and only lost about 15%. With HDR on the loss is about 45% Anyone else see this?

Hello all, I just finished installing P3D v2.3 and I am getting a CTD whenever I try to open it. Apparently the faulting module is "clr.dll" which has to do with .NET framework. I'm using ASN and I read somewhere that ASN is what's causing this issue? Even so, I tried running P3D without ASN running and I'm still getting the same CTD with the same faulting module. Any ideas?

I thought I would pass this along for other Vector users since this has significantly helped me with performance, particularly in urban areas. I always suspected that Vector may have had elements that were major bottlenecks, but I think I found the culprits. I disabled primary, secondary, and tertiary roads and had about 10-15fps increase over my test area which is heavily urban part of South Florida. Where I was getting a fluctuating 15-25fps, I am now hitting 30-40's in the same area. But besides the FPS increase, the sim is much smoother, more butter, if you will, particularly when panning with trackIR. I may be able to leave primary roads enabled, but I still nee…

FYI Guys - I have found that lens flare is causing stutters - shut it off and see the difference 1024 res textures dont use any higher - lock 30fps in P3D is best when it comes to the most consistent fps - 45 is not bad but not as good as 30 - this is with a basic nvidia profile which can be had in Adi's sweet setup files - unlimited is junk - fps all over the place and not productive Vysnc on - triple buffering should be off in P3D menu or it will kill your fps at least on my asus 21560 x 1440 Turn on tessellation on the first menu but in the scenery menu shut it off please - P3D is just not there yet at least with ftx global vector - mesh and lanclass added …

Just saw my auto update pop up...isn't on the main site yet :ph34r: Downloading a 1.6 GB texture update at the moment...!

Nevermind. Solved my own issue. A little more research would've saved me a lot of headache tonight. If anyone happens to have the same issue, here's the sticky I ran into. http://forum.avsim.net/topic/441755-white-stripstears-in-ground-ati-user-please-read-might-help/

Hi, Can we have a some sort of comparison in for instance KSFO,CYVR,KLAX area with ORBX FTX underneath and maybe a guide ? What FPS do you get in those airports ? Thanks Michael PS! Carenado Bonanza ,gate xx etc

Hello! I would appreciate a prompt answer on my questions below: 1. What are the NI settings for good antialising within sim? 2. Are there any recommended settings within prepar3d 2.3 (scenery, display etc)? 3 Does FSGRW or ASN work with prepr3d v2.3 at this moment? My system includes an I7- 4770k (no OC) and an ASUS GTX 780 ti Thank you very much!

I stumbled upon the "sensor" camera views while editing the camera.cfg today. Then I pulled up a view in the New View window.... pretty cool what you can do! I wonder if this will open up the possibility for EVS? Obviously there's a performance loss with a new view up.... I know VRS did a NVG through the HUD with their F18 in FSX - pretty neat!

Presently I use FSX and fly the default 737 a lot with Aerosystems Avionics software . I would like to try P3D 2.2 but noticed there is no default 737. Is it possible to import aircraft from FSX into P3D or is there other software (737) that works in P3D and is also compatible with Aerosystems Avionics. Hoping that someone else has tried this before I buy P3D. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi Folks, OK it is time to try P3D and I am going to purchase this weekend, just need some advice please. I have a large SSD 240gb with OS on do I place P3D there or on an empty SSD 80gb. FSX is on it own 80 gb SSD. Also what else do I need once I have downloaded I with to port over my weather engine, airbus several uk2000 airports and Aerosoft airports, however I read there is no night lighting with these unless specifically made for P3D...anyway to get around this. Lastly I need a migration tool are these freeware, sorry to sound a bit basic but I do not want to spend ages trying to get all this and then thinking well that was not worth it. Thanks f…

Had previously heard that 2.3 would correct the compatibility problem with some Aerosoft runway lights, but just read a thread on the LM forum that while some problems were fixed, others were not fixed. More worrying, LM has said that they will no longer attempt to make these ASM sceneries compatible in future versions, as they are based upon outdated coding conventions that while they worked in FSX were not compatible with FSX SDK, and they wish to concentrate on the future not the past. I would interpret this to mean that the ball is back in Aerosoft's court to update these older airports, or else they will just remain incompatible with P3D2.

As some of you may remember I had a hissy fit last month and uninstalled P3D V2.2 because of the constant R6025 errors. After reading through your thoughts on here, the P3D official forum and SOH I have decided to bite the bullet and try V2.3 After more research I found that Windows update hadn't installed some important updates so after getting that sorted I decided to try P3D again. Am really hoping the R6025 errors don't return! So I downloaded the full version last night (in 25mins thanks to a high speed cable connection!) and installed it the slow way due to lack of space on my OS SSD. Install went fine and I "created a scenario" with the default Piper Cu…

Hi Guys: Been trying for hours to figure this out - just picked up KDEN and I have 3 issues - wondering if anyone else is seeing these problems and how to resolve them - I have installed and re-installed many times the correct way of course - tried everything I can think of - I would assume I am not the only one seeing these issues in P3D V2 - thank you Problem 1 I am getting this hard line when on the ground only or if I pan up a bit the hard line goes away - real pain - tried new sky textures - changed all P3D menu settings nothing helps - this issue only while at this airport if I fly away and I believe even on the runway I do not see this - just on the air…

I installed the Nvidia 340.52 driver and shortly thereafter upgraded to P3D 2.3 after a few minutes of running P3D, the screen goes black and I get a windows based message that the NVidia 340.52 Driver has crashed and windows is attempting to fix the problem. This has happened each time on three attempts. Is anyone having a similar problem? Could it be related to tesselization? My next option is to downgrade the video driver to the last good Nvidia driver.

Hello, just getting around to trying out my FSX addons in Prepar3d v 2.2 and I was wondering if Imaginesim airports work in Prepar3d v 2.2. I would just try them out myself but I have been running into lots of CTD when installing FSX addons but some do work, in fact most of my addons work. I also realized how many Imaginesim airports that I have and would love to have them working especially VHHH and WSSS. After so many problems and many many reinstalls from bad scenery I have decided not to add anything in unless it is specifically stated that it works in Prepar3d v 2.2. This new sim is really finicky because even if I just move a folder to Prepar3d addon folder and …

Having been an early adopter of V2, I have to say I was initially underwhlemed. There was clear promise shown but 2.3 finally gets us to a polished, highly usable simulator. Im very excited and am now looking at finally retiring FSX. Well done LM team.

hi I was looking at all the fun you all are having with the latest patch, if I were to buy the academic license will i be able to also upgrade to future patches? What is the difference between this version and the professional version?

Hi all Just installed p3dv2 must say very nice does anyone have ultimate traffic2 working on p, 3d2.3 on windows 8.1 and if so is there a big performance impact, if not any suggestions for a working traffic app, thanks

I was reading a few posts about water looking great and water looking bad and I decided to turn on the water detail again to check it out. Imho water detail looks totally unrealistic UNLESS you are flying a few feet above it. Now I am not talking about P3D 2.3 waters looking bad but I am talking about water detail (animations) in general. In FSX I also disabled water animation because those waves look way too big during flights! They make it look like you are flying above a miniature world! Waves like that are okay when you are sitting with your feet in the water or during fishing but at 3000 feet or so I don't expect to see waves like you see in P3D (or FSX)! Imho water …

Hi: I am, as I type this, downloading P3D (Academic)...(Only 3 more hours to go!) Was just wondering if anyone has any basic advice for the first install of the program...Any wise hints would be appreciated...I guess the new 2.3 version needs no tweaks, but anything else of use to me would be helpful! Thanks a lot and I am sure I will be haunting this forum for a while to come... Steve

Just a heads up. An interim version compatible with v2.3 has been released for the weekend. Check the F1 forum for details. You just re-download the installer. Remember, you go to the Pro site, not the basic F1 site. Robert

Hi I have orbx global, Vector and Open LC. I flew from Faro-Manchester and noticed weird ground scenery it was patchy and in squares. Is there a fix for this ? http://i.imgur.com/jZ2ooUh.jpg Thanks

Hi everybody, I'm having trouble while using aerosoft Zurich X 2012 on Prepar3d V2, I don't know why but I see the grass on the aerodrome.. any suggest?
