I saw that, too, Martyson. I agree, it is ambiguous; however, I expect/hope that as I wrote, the Internet connection is NOT meant to maintain a permanent download(!) of data (scenery?) in order to function. My conviction (😁) is corrobrorated by e. g. the fact that the Professional version does not r...

#EllipticCurvr, The way I understand the licence announcement, it meanst that for legal purposes(!), i. e. to make sure that there are only users of one household using the application. I do hope, and expect, that the software runs ‚detached‘ i. e. needs nor download/online update facility to run (l...

I have used the opportunity of a damaged SSD to replace all SSDs and HDDs by M.2 PCIe storage wafers. They are said to be 10 times faster than even SSDs. I am hoping to improve both the access and the load times, leading to better fps and/or better settings. Will have to do some testing. Anyone havi...

I am very happy to read of LMs plans to release v6, soon! After reading the FAQs for MSFS 2024, I should like to know if v6 is going to be on the same level; hence my questions/requests: 1-System improvements? multithreading, intelligent use of more RAM, 2-use/support of graphics card engine, 3-(fur...

Further on the subject of P3D future and the developer community: May I point you all at the website „simmershome.de“. There, you will find the best VFR scenery/airfields that one can imagine. They have kept me stay with P3D. Rainer at simmershome is certainly a very good example of a diligent devel...

If you want to further enhance performance, I can recommend exchanging SATA SSDs with NVMe M.2. They can transport data (scenery!) over PCIe lanes which makes them much faster (5-10 times?) than normal SSDs. When I built my new rig (my old one had been damaged by defect graphis-card fan) I decided t...

I love flying in VR, it gives me the feeling of reality that even a big LCD (I have 49“ Samsung) cannot provide. So, I have tried Oculus Rift, Rift S, and Quest 2. My experience is: it is useless to try to use the virtual buttons in the cockpit, either by using the controllers or a virtualization so...

That is what I read in(to) the linked websites of LM. If they are propagating the UE, and that they will use it, that is what I hope/expect for the next future. What else would it mean that - according to the websites - LM use UE as a future basis for their sim development? True, they do not speak o...

…the blackshark.ai thing looks very promising to me. It means, in effect, that if you implement Unreal Engine in your sim software, you get blackshark.ai ‚s warld for free…
Well, I am in a Christmas mood so I can hope for a present, can‘t I?

Hi everybody, I realize I am a bit late here in this forum-thread but I cannot get my P3D to run in MP mode. I have Prepar3Dv5.3HF2 installed My brother has the exact same installation We set up a VPN with Radmin VPN; we can see each other‘s IP address and computer ID in the network PING works fine,...

Stevehm, it works now, most of the time😁 Sometimes, after I detached the Quest2 from the cable in order to load the batteriy, I find that P3D cannot find the device… I do not know if it is the USB connection or the Oculus software, I just start everything again, that usually helps. Sorry, not very „...

A few weeks ago, I had the same effect: Clean P3Dv5.2 install, ORBX GEN/GES, UK South, several small airstrips by Aerosoft and simmershome. Installed A2A Bonanza V35 with default settings: all o.k.; switched to HiRes settings (5400 x 1440) incl. motion blur: all o.k. Installed A2A Spitfire, default ...

I found sonething: Honeycomb Bravo TQ uses switch 15 for the flaps („toggle flaps“). Honeycomb Alpha Yoke uses for the „BATT“ switch no.s 15 and 16.! That lead in my installation to the effect that switch 16 was interpreted as „FLAPS DOWN“ by P3D. As the switch position was „permanent“, the impulse ...

The gear switch is a toggle switch, that means it has no „UP“ and „DOWN“ states. What I found to do was ghe following: Assign the „GEAR“ switch to the lever after moving it up, then make a new assignment to the same „GEAR“ switch with the lever moved to „down“ AND check the box „On Release“. That di...

I have a problem that puzzles me: Whatever aircraft I load, at whichever scenery, the flaps go fully down as soon as the aircraft is loaded. The flaps do not budge when I use external flaps lever. When I use the virtual lever (=in the sim) I can reract the flaps, but as soon as I release the lever, ...
