The Prepar3d Forum

Hello fliers, I have noticed that as I fly around medium size cities and even the country side I see the autogen pop up just in front of me. I have the sliders setting at about medium and I have HT enabled with AM setting of 84. I have FTX Global and Vector add on. Is this normal for P3D just as it does in FSX? Are there some settings that I can adjust to decrease the popping autogen? Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

I have bad image quality in P3D2 in the form of shimmering textures. I have encountered the same thing in FSX but that was resolved after setting it up in Nvidia Inspector. But I have no NI profile info for P3D2 so it's difficult to set it up the same way as FSX. (as a side note I experience similar problems in Train Simulator 2014)

Now I have Ezdok installed in P3dv2.2......... - with migration tool installed. - installed the 1.17 update - Put the ezdok beta in the ezdok folder ( there was no exe??) - with migration tool run the configurator. All ok fired up the sim, with the q400 on Kiad B) I have in the add-ons menu ezdok, opened the studio and loaded the ezdok config file from airline2simm. but I get only the capt fwd view.........? in the ezdok studio I see the virtual cockpit entries; capt fwd view dh mda view throttle view etc, but when I scroll in between those nothing happens :( can't also make new views, I had to delete according manual certain ke…

Both before and after the update the default eyepoint looked as if I was sitting on a high chair with the panel almost to my knees. Before I go in and alter the CFG file I wondered if my experience was unique?

Here's the issue I have the detail radius set to max but the autogen only appears In about two mile radius around my plane and the same for non blurry ground textures. I already have p3d using 7 of my 8 cores so that isn't the issue. This issue is also effecting orbx night lighting. This problem wasn't present in 2.0 or 2.1 as both the autogen and fully loaded textures were seen to the horizon in those releases. What did lockheed change? And how do I reverse it.

Does anyone know how to convert fsx missions for prepar3d v1.4?

Does this product work in P3D v2.2? Thanks,

Does anyone else have the issue of AI lights not being visible at night? It appears that that may be on if I zoom into the AI plane but you cannot see any nice AI lights from a distance. I tried both stock lights and Shockwave lights and still cannot see them. Thanks.

In case using FSX ones, I do not have FSX. Is there a place to download missions for prepar 3D?

After months of only manually flying the Q400, mostly in circuits, I finally found the time this long weekend to study and operate the FMC, including VNAV. I love it when I get the time learn new things like this and it's amazing how much you miss out on if you don't make yourself do it. Considering P3D, A2A's V2 Accusim module, PMDG on the threshold of P3D, great training videos like Airline2Sim's series and all of the other great things happening, it is quite a good time to be a flightsim nut.

There are bits and pieces of comentary on the A2A forums but no one place that explains the process and what data is needed by the customer. APPARENTLY: A P3D owner of the A2a C172 is required to prove that they have not used the product in FSX for more than 3 hours. There is no mention of how to provide that proof and in what form. All I see is people saying to buy the new P3D version of the product and mail in your rebate request to offset the $50 you just spent for the second time. First I never trust rebate schemes. To receive the rebate you request you must prove that you only used the original for< 3 hours. My$50 is setting in the A2A bank account …

When I try to configure Vector, I get this message: "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you discontinue the app will ignore the error and attempt to continue. Could not find a part of path C\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft games\ Microsoft flight simulator x\ ORBX\ FTX_ Vector_OBJ\SCENERY" Nothing I do can get rid of this....all my config settings are erased after I do the config. so I assume it's not working. I'd like to UNINSTALL VECTOR and resinstall. Maybe I did something wrong in setup. Perhaps you all can give me a strong hint as to what I may have done wrong...PLEASE HELP. Stan

This just happened suddenly for reasons I don't know, about 2 days ago. Every time I start P3Dv2, I get a message stating my color scheme is changing to windows 7 basic. The appearance of my tool bar went from translucent to blue and my P3D window is different too. I haven't noticed any performance changes in my sim, and when I exit P3D everything goes back to normal. I don't know why this is happening, so any ideas are welcome. Todd

This may belong in an FSX forum, not sure…. Using the sound sub-folder in the Aircraft folder, and the sound.cfg file, how is it possible to introduce a sound such as air-conditioning, where the sound is steady and does not change intensity or pitch related to engine thrust / throttle? I’m also aware of sounds in this folder that are related to gear-down/up, Flaps, Touch-down, etc., however these too are all related to specific conditions, and will not have a steady-state of being “on”. I’m ignoring the relative complexity of when the a/c paks might be “off” in this question, just getting an “air-conditioning sound” would be great. Thanks, Bruce.

Ever since moving to P3D I have been unable to utilise my second monitor's touch screen capabilities in the sim. I can undock and drag panels to the second monitor, but P3D just will not recognise the touch inputs (FSX was fine). The monitor itself detects the touch, and every touch action outside of a P3D panel works fine. It's just that P3D doesn't react to the touch inputs. Anybody using a second monitor touch screen in P3D? Advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Daz

Can I buy any of FTX terrain like Australia, NzSouth Islands, Pacific North... without having FTX global, FTx Vector? Are they stand alone scenery?

Greetings I am on v2.2 with Planner Hotfix My system is: i7 @ 4.2, WIN7 64bit, GTX780 with 337.5 Beta Drivers No matter what i do I get errors with the menus I have included an example below. I cant see or select all the options on the change payload bit a the bottom. I have tried rebuilding shaders I have tried resetting Display/tools set all items to smaller 100% Is there a fix for this? Font size is set to standard (100%) UISettings.xml deleted and no change to above picture I have reset windows bitmap fonts in the registry using the following guide: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/developingfordynamicsgp/archive/2009/11/25/windows-7-bitmap-fonts-and-microsoft-dyn…

I know the Northern California scenery was just released, but here is an interesting question. For those of you familiar with the area, if you had your choice, which airports would you like released? My vote would be for Half Moon Bay (KHAF). For many years, this has been one of my favorite places. Happy Flying.

Just tried to get my rudder pedals working with P3Dv2.2 and struggling - even tried rolling everything back to default and manually reassigning axis and buttons - although it now works some of the time I still get some random control inputs from the pedals - and it just does not feel very precise..... 1)Does any have a controller config file that works and I can try to use this as a starting point? (note I am using the pedals with a thrust master warthog stick and throttle - the problem appears to be with the pedals as before I had the warthog working ok using the wheel on the throttle for the rudders) 2)Has anyone else had trouble with their rudder pedals? - I know the…

What is the best way to fly live in P3Dv2? I am more interested in those services using General Aviation. Many thanks, Sion

Okey, so i finally got p3d v2.2 installed and are trying to make Nvidia surround work on my dual gtx780 6gb graphic cards, but i`m having a hard time figure out a few issues. First of all is the bezel correction. Is there any way to adjust it in the software config files? I looks very strange when the sim objects kind of just skips over the bezel. Second is the monitor angel. I keep my monitors angels at around 45 degrees, but when i bank my head using track ir, or just bank the plane for that matter, the horizon want line up across the displays. Don`t really know if that is just due to the angel. I have spend the hole day trying to find a solution and underst…

I installed pr3d I don't have any saved flights in documents and regardless what plane or airport i select it comes accompanied with a lost pilot mission sound track. Ideas?

Hi all, I use P3d v2, along with ASN, Texture direct, Airbus AXE, mjc q400 and looking forward the FSL Airbus and PMDG 737, 777 for P3D. I also use FTXG and many add on airports. As for my system, I have a i5 3540k cpu on a h100i corsair cooler overclocked to 4.4Ghz and a Asus GTX 660 oc version gpu. I run the system on a Samsung ssd. So, I am thinking of upgrading my system to perform better in p3d. I have thought of two options. Option 1: upgrade my gpu to the Gigabyte GTX 770 4GB oc version. Option 2: upgrade my monitor to the new AOC 24' G-sunc model witch is about to be released soon. The reason for upgrade is that I get shutters when in scenery - c…
