Re: Next Hotfix

From my limited use and research, they have nothing to provide a multiple view like P3D View Groups. At one of their conferences they said it would be developed 'in the future'. I see some people are stretching the main view but not having much success. I found this on reddit....if correct, the use...

Next Hotfix

I have not migrated/tested the new MS platform for simulation and won't for a bit - especially if P3D can make sure they support the existing versions. I understand it was not in the best interest to try and release updates while the spotlight was across the street, but MS has now released what I be...

Runway Lights - How To Adjust When They Turn On

In 4.3 we could make an adjustment in the config file which would allow the runway lights to turn on sooner which was more realistic - it also allowed for the landing lights to illuminate the ground earlier. It could be done by making a change in the graphics section of the P3D config file (see belo...

Re: P3D V5 FSUIPC Issues

Jetline supplied the computers I use for my sim - they were helping w/ tech support. I use FSUIPC to integrate the tiller, pedals, and yoke - I have a Flight Deck Solutions sim. I have 'enable controllers' unchecked in P3D.

Thanks

P3D V5 FSUIPC Issues

The support forum at FSUIPC has tried to help on this one w/ success. Is anyone having issues w/ FSUIPC either locking (movement of an axis is not up reflected in the 'in or out' boxes) or changing assignments (rudder will change to brake in the FSUIPC Assignments tab) in V5? I even had my friends a...

Re: PBR No Rain Effect (Resolved)

Worked w/ the LatinVFR support - they were fantastic!! Got it resolved - in the end, it was 'operator error' as I did not delete an older version. Chuck

[RESOLVED] PBR No Rain Effect

I'm having issues seeing PBR rain effects on the ground in 4.5. I have deleted the 4.4 Content and Client and then installed 4.5 of same - then I cleared shaders and config files. Both the installed versions of Content and Client are Version 4.5.12.30293. Under the help tab the Prepar3D Version is 4...

Re: How To Change When Runway/Tarmac/Taxi Lights Turn On/Off

You are correct. Also Beech King and Carenado work well. Seems to be a FSX Default 737 issue. I will post over on Sim Avionics forum to see if there are suggestions - if anyone has thoughts let me know. Much appreciated WarpD!

Where have you got them from?
I use REX 4 for textures.

Re: How To Change When Runway/Tarmac/Taxi Lights Turn On/Off

Thank you for the comments! Hopefully this will help. Five images showing the succession of night falling at KMKE (P3D V4.3 default airport). Image 1 (7:26pm) - evening - no lights Image 2 (7:51pm) - evening dusk - runway lights illuminated Images 3/4 (8:07pm same time for both photos) - dusk - runw...

Re: How To Change When Runway/Tarmac/Taxi Lights Turn On/Off

Good point - I am using the default FSX 737 model which comes w/ the Sim Avionics software. WIth that in mind do you have some thoughts on a solution?

Re: How To Change When Runway/Tarmac/Taxi Lights Turn On/Off

I reached out to the folks at Flightbeam and they have punted this back to P3D. Restating my question which isn't about runway lights turning on/off but rather while on the tarmac starting my taxi the airport lights switched off as did the taxi light (default 737 - I assume what is happening is P3D ...

How To Change When Runway/Tarmac/Taxi Lights Turn On/Off

I thought I had posted last week, but must not have completed the post. Using P3D 4.3 and I would like to adjust the timing of when lights turn on/off in P3D. I have tired the following solution w/o success https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/498360-prepar3d-lights-turning-on-too-late/. Does P3D cont...

P3D Stock Aircraft vs. Add On

I have purchased a separate sim panel/throttle/pedal/garmin G530 solution w/ a for a Cessna 172/82 and use V4.x. For the plane I am looking for something that will fly as realistically as possible. That may well be an add-on plane or it could be a stock P3D plane, but since I don't need all the cock...

How To Reload 4.2 w/o Losing Addons

I've posted this on Avsim, but just realised I really should have posted it here. I've searched, but can't find this answer - I may not be searching for the right thing because I would assume this info is out there if it is possible to do. I have P3d V4.2 w/ several add-ons. Today I loaded a PTA fil...
