I checked the original one I had moved tp D drive and it has 39.9 GB in it. Maybe I ...

Re: Free space on drive needed

I was successful in moving the package cache file with it's 44 gb of stuff over to my D drive. This enabled me to install P3D on the D drive ok. Everything running ok, but I see P3D has created a new one back in the C drive which already has over 23 GB of stuff on it. It would appear that P3D doesn'...

Re: Free space on drive needed

Thanks for the replies. Since I am trying to install on the D drive, I didn't realize I need that space on the C drive. My D drive is more than adequate, but I will have to make some room on the C drive.
Thanks.

Re: TOOL TIPS PROBLEM

I decided to do a re install. Deleted everything and did a new install. Now the Tool Tips is working. Must have been some corrupted file. Thanks for your help.

Re: TOOL TIPS PROBLEM

No. Nothing. But if I put the curser on the top right square in the red box under the Landing Gear Handel, I get one that says "Emergency Gear Handel". And as far as I can tell, that is the only place on the whole panel that says anything. I have only checked a few default and a few addon ...

Re: Very dark cockpit in 5.2

I agree that it is way too dark. It is the same with default and addon planes. Something needs to b3 done here. Is there anything we could change in the cfg file while waiting for LM to respond?
Thanks

Re: Shift-Z working, but freezes

I deleted the program did a new full download and install, and now mine works.
Messages are now big intrusive letters. Not like the small ones they used to be.
Tool tips do not work.
No sound from switches on the panel when they are activated.
Thanks

TOOL TIPS PROBLEM

I have enabled the feature TOOL TIPS, but it is not working. At best sometimes you get the tip when you put the curser on a gauge on the panel, but never when you put it on a switch. In some cases you do get the message, but after you have clicked on the switch does it then tell you what the switch ...

Forum fonts size and boldness

If I am alone and logged in onto SWIFT I can fly for hours and hours. and frame rates stay pretty much at 28 to 30.
