May 6, 20206 yr Several times I did choose an airport in the P3Dv5 selection on startup, but when the cockpit finally appears, I'm at a totally different spot... Just again a few minutes ago: I did select EDDK (Köln-Bonn Airport) and I did find myself in Nurthumberland on a small airfield. Yes, I did confirm EDDK and even the first map, before everything starts to load for some time, shows EDDK, but in the end I'm somewhere else. This occured to me several times... Is it only me having this issue?

Don't know if this a LH P3D issue or an ORBX issue related to CTD's caused by some of ORBX sceneries. Never (Yet) had this issue while flying all over the Caribbean with addon sceneries.

May 6, 20206 yr ive noticed that I have to double click the airport as opposed to my old muscle memory of keying in something like KLAX enter. I wish they would change that back. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
May 6, 20206 yr I’ve found when creating a flight plan and selecting yes when it asks if I want to be moved to the departure airport in my flightplan it doesn’t actually change the location.

May 6, 20206 yr How did they ever test this 😉😂 its got so many bugs. My god is terrible. V4 was quite good on release, this is just a shower of rubbish Edited May 6, 20206 yr by fluffyflops
May 7, 20206 yr I think Lockheed Martin mentioned something recently, that they updated all of the default airport locations, to the REAL locations ... (probably with a google map program or soemething) I know this because, i already created my hometown airport for p3d4 and changed it to the "correct" location. .... before my creation, everything was a MESS man !!! 😒 (sigh) Maybe THATS why this is happening.
May 7, 20206 yr I don't know what's going on over at the official LM P3D forum. Their entire site is extremely slow to load -- and has been slow to load (or sometimes completely unavailable) for the past few days. Many people have posted their similar observation over there regarding the site's dysfunction. Dozens of people have also posted bug reports for P3D v5 and have gotten either no response at all or a perfunctory response from LM hostesses that solved nothing. I think LM's latest release indicates clearly that they are not especially interested in the sim anymore. As Occam's Razor says, "The simplest explanation is usually the most accurate."

May 7, 20206 yr The site was limited to 1200 or so simultaneous users (which was being exceeded) so my guess is either the load on their servers is too great or they upped the maximum user count and made things worse.

For example, if you select an airport in the flight planner, all the parking spaces are listed as Military; you have to select a different airport first, then go back and select the one you want to get the correct parking choices. How that one got through testing I have no idea. - Kevin Windows 11 / Ryzen 7 9800X3D / MSI RTX-4080 Super 16G Ventus 3X / Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite WiFi 7 / Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro / 64GB Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB DDR5 6000Mhz CL30 RAM / Dell Alienware AW3418DW WQHD 3440x1440 GSync / Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 2TB (OS) & 860 EVO 4TB SDD / WD Caviar Black 4TB HDD / EVGA Supernova 850 G5 PSU / Be Quiet Light Base 600 LX case / Virpil Warbird base with Constellation Alpha grip / MFG Crosswind rudder pedals / Virtual-Fly TQ6+ throttle quadrant / Winwing Orion HOTAS F-18 Throttle / Virpil TCS+ collective base with Hawk-60 grip / Saitek Trim Wheel / Saitek Radio and Switch Panels / Winwing Combat Ready Panel / Tobii 5

As Occam's Razor says, "The simplest explanation is usually the most accurate." Yes, I saw Rob McCarthy's post stating that LM was aware of the problem with their website. There is no disagreement here. The site is not working properly for me tonight. It is very slow, unlike any other site on the web for me this evening. It was working fine for me all afternoon, but very slowly yesterday. I'm happy it's working for you tonight. I can access the forum tonight myself, but each thread takes perhaps 10 seconds to load. This is an intermittent problem of which LM is aware. My own thought is that the site is not properly logging off members who disconnect, as someone else on their site theorized. My only axe to grind is LM's lack of quality control. I have no personal relationships (for good or bad) with anyone at LM. I am simply a long-term customer. Again, I don't really think there's any disagreement here.

MS again is sending invites out in the next two weeks which means if there’s more people testing it and if there’s more people liking it the less people buying p3d.

MS again is sending invites out in the next two weeks which means if there’s more people testing it and if there’s more people liking it the less people buying p3d. Why not get both? As of this moment there are hundreds if not thousands addons for P3D. MSFS promises to be gorgeous, but we will need to wait short or long time before we get some addons. The price of P3D is not much, a half baked dinner in a medium quality restaurant. Ramón. Time, is the one thing no one can buy.
