Huge black spots

Hello, On some airports I am getting huge black areas as background. The runways, taxiways etc on those airfields are O.K., but then the surrounding grass (surface) and other textures around the airfield are mostly black. I have the latest version of both AFX and ADE, also Prepar3D V4.3 is current. ...

Static WW2 RAF aircraft

Hello,
Who knows a library with static RAF WW2-aircraft like Lancasters, Mosquito's, Spitfires, Blenheims, Sunderlands etc, working in Prepar3D V4? My intention is to use them with ADE for "dressing-up" ww2 airfields.
Looking forward to links etc,

Notifying of replies

Hello,
Somehow there is something that blocks replies on issues that I posted. I do not get e-mails (even not as spam) when there is a reply. My e-mailaddress is correct in my profile.
It forces me to go to the forum and look for them, even if there are no replies.
What is blocking it?

It is valid for both axes as buttons, in some cases they return to default, in other cases they disappear. Not all, but some. E.g. Then the button for Fla...

Re: Dual Monitor problem

Hello Rob, Deleting the Prepar3D.cfg solved the problem. I had to reset the settings to my choice, gave no problem either. Moving GPS-like windows to second monitor works fine again. Many thanks for your suggestion, quick and good. BTW: what means "shaders fix", where is it and what does i...

Re: Dual Monitor problem

Hi, Additional to the first description: Now my VC-panel view and other camera-views are very narrow projected, unreadable. 2D is O.K. as far as the panel is concerned, but the outside is also narrow-projected. I have the idea that P3D somehow produces a very wide image and now (with the second moni...

[RESOLVED] Dual Monitor problem

Hello, I have a two-monitor system, the biggest one for the panel or outside-view, the other one for additional things like GPS. Up till recently that worked perfectly in P3D V4. Suddenly it stopped functioning properly, it now projects the chosen window (panel, spotview e.g.) accross both panels, g...

AI and ATC_parking_codes

Hello, In earlier versions of P3D I used the atc_parking_code for positioning the ai-aircraft on a specfic parkingspot. In AFX or ADE I defined with a unique code a specific parking-spot and added the code of that spot in the line ATC-Parking_codes in the aircraft.cfg. Also unique, and no reference ...

Re: Could not find UI resource directory

Hello Elaine, PROBLEM SOLVED ! Finally the problem was in my antrivirusprogram. Bitdefender. Although I could de-activate the Firewall by a switch, I had the impression that somehow the viruschecking etc stayed active and that the firewall was activated again. So I contacted their helpdesk, asking h...

Re: Could not find UI resource directory

Elaine,
Still the following observation:
I strongly have the idea that the errormessages, both from the insaller as from the client.msi, appear at the moment that the license-verification would start.
This is what I remember of earlier installations.
