Re: P3D v3.4 - Sun keeps disappearing

Hello Poppet, Thanks for your reply. The sun itself is not visible but the lighting remains unchanged including correct lighting based on where the sun should be. I followed the advice you gave in AvSim and that does restore it when P3D next loads. But after an indeterminate period of time it disapp...

Re: P3D v3.4 - problem with GMT checked

I wait until my scenario is located where I want before selecting UTC. The time of day function is half baked, seems to operate on local time even when selecting UTC. This is a holdover from the MS FS platform, and is one of the arcade game elements that LM hasn't cleaned up yet. I always fly on UT...

P3D v3.4 - problem with GMT checked

My startup flight is located at a British airport which at this time of year is operating GMT (UT). When the Free Flight window appears I can change the time and additionally check the GMT option if required. I chose to go with the current time 12:00 and ticked the GMT option. I chose SVMI as my new...

[RESOLVED]P3D v3.4 - Sun keeps disappearing

For the third time in as many months the sun has disappeared from P3D v3.4. In all other respects the sim behaves perfectly so this problem is baffling. I have followed the advice about deleting the sun file (sorry, can't remember its name) and that solves it for a while. I have also run the repair ...

Major stutters in P3D crossing Prime Meridian

I'm running P3D v3.4. During recent testing to finalise my ideal scenery settings I setup a test based at London City airport - EGLC, Rwy 28. I slewed the aircraft up to 1500ft and changed the heading to 250-260 so it was pointing towards EGLL just visible in the distance. I then increased the speed...
