The Prepar3d Forum

Hello all. I'm going to fly in the Prepar3d v2.2 (FSX isn't compatible with AMD processors), and I'm scared. I need help. I do not know where to start. I heard something about Legacy Mode, EMT? I don't know what is it. I wonna have the REX, Ezdok, vpilot, FSGlobalRealWeather, FTX Global, PMDG 777(i know, PMDG haven't license to P3D) and some sceneries. Can u help me with setup up the P3D? Thanks a lot!

Hi all- Is anyone using something similar to UTII in P3D? Or, is there anything like it available may be the real question. Thanks, Mark

If so I would like to know if you have the same problem I have? In P3D I can't turn the knobs on the HSI or VOR. The FSX version does not have this issue.

I've tried out the 'Bioshock 2' profile with Nvidia inspector, doesn't seem to help much. How are you guys minimizing the shimmering lights? Cheers.

The current FSX installation I use was built up several years ago, and is based on UTX for Landclass (Europe, NA) and Ground Environment (several modules) for ground textures, and FS Global 2010 for terrain mesh. Additionally, I have very few addon airports. It's come time to re-do some things, both in hardware and software, this time with more of an emphasis on P3D (don't have yet), DCS, possibly Rise of Flight, and of course, still FSX. As I rebuild an FSX installation, I'm going to want to move in to the world of ORBX instead of the ancient UTX/GEX/FSGlobal stuff. I literally know nothing, Jon Snow, about Orbx. What of Orbx do I need to build up a bette…

I highly recommend this flight: Both in Washington State and ORBX PNW 11S to KORS...land, have a coffee...and then take off for a scenic flight for a 360 at Mt. Shasta at 13,000 feet to view. Beautiful atmospherics today in the flight path. :)

strange thing with Ifly 737 fully updated to latest version and working fine ,all of a sudden landing gear vanishes ,aircraft floating above runway,I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice but Aircraft still floating! all other aircraft have gear down and no issue,s,does anyone have any Ideas many thanks for reading peter

Every time I launch P3D2.2 it builds scenery indexes. In FSX this does only happen when installing new scenery. Is it not the same in P3D ? Does P3D build scenery index at every launch for you too ? Is this normal in P3D ?

Hi everyone I have installed the TDS Boeing 737 and it is working perfectly well in P3D apart from the GPWS The GPWS folder is required to be installed into the P3D main sound folder which I have done but alas I am not getting any of the callouts as I approach the runway Does anyone have any ideas on this? For the record I do not have FSX installed .. I am just wondering if there is a component required from there to make it work Thanking you in advance Paul

Hi everyone I decided to install a freeware product from TDS ... namely the Boeing 737 All installed and working fine but when I transferred the GPWS sounds to the P3D sound folder ... I still do not get the callouts on approach to the runway.. Any ideas on solving this one please May I add that I do not have FSX installed ..... I am just wondering if something needs to be added from there? Thanks in advance Paul

Seems there are plenty of posts on the NET saying Crossfire does not work with Windowed games. LM was talking about getting Crossfire working with P3DV1 which had a Full Screen mode. But where does that now leave P3DV2 which has gone permanently Windowed? Thanks, gb.

I just got a screaming new computer, and I'm about to switch over from FSX to Prepar3d, and I don't want both versions mucking up my squeaky clean HDs! So, I have ASN, REX4, The Majestic Q400, and FTX Global/Vectors. How happy/sad am I going to be? I have a lot of money invested in all of those things. Will I be able to use them?

G'day, Hello! I'm embarking on a fun little adventure with a simulator for a local aero club. I need a little help, advice, admonishing for my goal of running the P3D terrain view across 5 large Plasma displays. I need to be able to do it with one mean mother of a PC and 2 graphics cards (preferably nVidia). The stick paty here is that it needs to be 5 REAL, and separate views that combined will give me 220° FOV forwards and to the sides. I need to know that it can be done, and maybe a nudge in the right direction to get me started. Cheers and thanks for the help! :) Dave

Just finished my Devils canyon build and got p3d installed but now all the ground looks like this. Any idea's Im going to revert back to a previous graphics driver to see if that helps

so very well done using ORBX-G and P3D! http://www.cbisland.com/# http://www.pc.gc.ca/eng/pn-np/ns/cbreton/index.aspx https://www.google.ca/search?q=Cape+Breton+Highlands+National+Park+of+Canada&safe=off&rls=com.microsoft:en-US:%7Breferrer:source?%7D&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=_EupU7WaNOa68AH3lYDYAw&ved=0CFUQsAQ&biw=1920&bih=1075 *** Global and P3D looks pretty much like what you are seeing along the coasts and mountain/seaside shorelines in these pictures....very.....NICE! I just picked up Freebie (thank you ORBX!!!!) airport pack number 13 that included (I just took off about 30 minutes ago...) Sydney …

Hi I was flighing with CS 727-100 yesterday. I installed it by Copy&Paste. Everything was fine. Today when I started P3D V2 (also I have installed FTX Global, FSUIPC, OPUS FSX, GSX - all those 3rd party were working).. I got a first message : "Prepar3D cannot find the aircraft for the requested flight. The default flight willtry load. after my Ok "Prepar3D cannot find the aircraft files. Please reinstall Prepar3D" Well I would like to know What´s going on to avoid in the future when I will have more installed acft and softwares and config done installed needs to reinstall P3DV2. Also I need to know If this is a new bug since that I couldn´t find any th…

I would like to add several of my excellent freeware airports to my recently purchased Orbx Northern California. I know that conflicting Orbx AFCADs must be removed but how about the corresponding CVX's as well? What about Orbx elevation adjustments in the World scenery folder? Must they be removed too? Puzzled (as usual) M Slim

How do I make changes in XML.Document?

Hello old (and new) friends, I read the previous topics and can not find a marching thread. Like the title says, there is no way I can get Track IR to run inside the sim. I have installed the latest drivers (5.2.2 I think) etc and generally know my way around both the sim and the tracking device and have been using it for years. It was working great inside the same program, but I had other problems and did a complete OS (Windows 7 Pro) reinstall on a new SSD drive, so the latest P3D was reinstalled as well (on a separate RevoDrive. Everything else is back to normal, but although Track IR runs well outside P3D on its own, it is a no-go within. Any suggestions? …

I have already asked about this problem i have been getting over at the Orbx forum, but thought i would also bring the issue up here as there seems to be a lot of talented and knowledgeable people here. Up until now, P3D has been running really well with no issues. But lately when I fly, I notice that distant scenery is not loading. As if the LOD slider is set at its lowest seeting. Even if I set this slider to max, it makes no difference. Draw distance looks as if its only within a 2 mile perimeter of my aircraft.... anything outside of this 2 mile radius looks blurry. It literally is, all autogen and textures are rendered into the sim, pin sharp and crisp wi…

Has anyone else tried using the recently released EGPB Sumburgh with PlayHorizon GenX photoscenery of the Shetland Isles, and also Scotflight? It seems that one file (cvx_ORBX_EGPB_EXCLUDES.bgl) causes an issue whereby a large rectangle of default terrain is displayed around the airport and peninsula. I have also noticed one or two mesh issues associated with the headland that has the lighthouse on it. If the file mentioned above is removed, the airport itself suffers serious mesh issues. I know that ORBx state that FTX Scotland is required to use EGPB Sumburgh, but I am hoping that some clever AVSIM member will be able to work out how to use it properly with the Play…

Hello, I'm used to FSX where wheels turn with same controls as for flying, but this is not happening in P3D. What are the controls for turning wheel left and right for taxi? If I use the same controls as for flight, my plane will tilt on takeoff.

ORBX Global was previously installed and working well.. But after "FTX Global Vector" installation layers were mixed and I see my airplane is sitting 5 or 10 meters underground when waiting for takeoff. If I look upwards I can see the grass (from bottom), they are located 3-5 meters above cockpit location. And when I increase the altitude slowly a little bit in SLEW mode, airplane is raising to Ground (zero) Level from underground.... Another thing I saw was, A big bridge's construction and road is separated... Both parts are passing the sea parallel to each other ...But while its architectural construction is located in the same place before installation,…

Got a problem around Whitehorse YT and Dease Lake BC . Every time I go to them by flying in or setting up a flight. When the scenery is being loaded all is okay until about 77% then FSX shuts down. A/Ps near to these two are okay. Thus has me beat. Help !!! Cheers Carm.

By that I mean if I just press my trim button once the planes pitches up or down fairly rapidly.... I swear I had this setup in FSX but after my hdd format I noticed I did not - both FSX and P3D behave like this... Can anyone help me? Here's my current setup
