I don’t remember, I think I had it since many years. Probably already since v4 launched.
But since this year I have a new system (R5 5600X, GTX1070) and a fresh install of Windows 10 64 home and P3D v5 since 02(2021.

You can actually drag and reposition the aircraft?

@ pmatten ,
We were talking P3Dv5.

What date did this Map problem first appear in P3Dv5 ?

OK, since the initial install in 02/2021, which for me started with v5.1

@ pmatten ,

Ok, so FSlabs was not the problem on your setup.

The last post in this topic before your post was June 2019!

You are the only pilot reporting this problem.

As I previously mentioned I am not seeing the problem on my setup.
P3Dv4.5HF3 with FSLabs A320
P3Dv5.2.22.27615 with FSLabs A320

Why are you not wanting to install P3Dv5 (current version) Content and Scenery?

Or better yet, a full Uninstall / reinstall of P3Dv5?

Updating content and scenery didn’t help. A full reinstall will have to wait till the next point release.

@ pmatten ,

You could do one more quick check.

Note: Virus checking Off for installs.

Uninstall the Client.
Reboot PC.
Install Client.
Reboot PC.

Test P3D again.

Fresh install of 5.3.12.28072 (Cleared out all previous folders).
No add-ons installed.
Windows 10 64 home (installed in February 21)

No luck, the change location/map apply button greyes out as soon as I drag the aircraft
Any more ideas?

Someone else reported a similar problem.
