v5, How to set the time and day?

I don't see how to set the time (or day) other than the current time/date when starting a flight. This is important because real time may be one thing but the flight I want to create may depart at a totally different time. For instance, my trip may leave at night but in reality I'm starting P3Dv5 in...

Re: Sound Issue with P3D 4.4

Unfortunately I've had to roll back to v4.3. I added the line to the .cfg file and change my audio to 16 bit as indicated above. The sound problem remains. I'm quite disappointed since it's been my philosophy to use the latest version. This is a first for me.

Brakes & Autobrakes?

Two specific questions pertaining to P4D v4.2 When applying normal braking using "." on the keyboard, slider set to the middle position, the brakes lock when the keystroke is applied. When the slider is set to the left positon, I have to apply continuous presses and this isn't practical or...

Fuel and Payload Editor

I can't change the fuel load using the Fuel and Payload editor. If I input the fuel weight the numbers don't "stick" and they even change at entry. The same when trying to input as a percentage. This happens with default aircraft where direct input is required to set the fuel load. I've lo...

Migration Tool

I just want to offer a word of advice. After two complete installs (and adding numerous add-ons) and then uninstalls of v3.3, I've found that the Migration tool creates more problems than it solves. As much as I'd like to continue flying my CS 757s and Level-D 767 it just isn't realistic. Bottom lin...

Affinity Mask, yes or no?

I've read so much that I'm totally confused. Really, you can read too much! Two simple questions. 1) Is there any real benefit in setting a Job Scheduler/Affinity Mask is P3D Professional, v3.23? If so, 2) I'm using a setting of 14 with HT off (occasionally 85 if I have HT enabled which I usually do...

Re: Which parts to update?

And so I must ask whether the updates to the Scenery in 3.2 are worth the hassle (in your opinion). I also have many addon sceneries that will take quite awhile to remove and restore. I've already done the client and content - can't make up my mind on the scenery. Thoughts would be appreciated.

Procedure for installing P3D Professional v3.0?

I've been fully out of the loop since early June due to circumstances moving to a new house. For that reason I haven't kept up with the daily chatter regarding details of 3.0. I have 2.5 professional installed and want to go the 3.0. It's my understanding that v2.5 should be uninstalled before insta...

I was even thinking of 60 fps and 1/2 Refresh Rate or Forced On. Or 3D Application Controlled. Hopefully someone will come along that can answer. Thanks.

<t>My monitor is an ASUS PB278Q with a refresh rate of 120Hz. I have my frame rate in P3D Professional v2.5 locked at 30 fps. Because my monitor is running at double the normal 60Hz refresh rate should I still be using Vertical Sync and triple buffering? Also, in Nvidia Inspector, I'd been using 1/2...
