P3D offline

Featured Replies

For many years i was considering P3D as 'offline sim', which means u do not need internet connection to use it.

It happened that for last two days i am without internet and tried to run P3D5.4.

To my surprise that sim is impossible to use without net.

Sim indeed starts, but start up time is at least twice longer than normal, and when i have tried to choose plane it took me 15 minutes to scroll down the list, as sim hangs every few seconds.

Basically sim has started but behaved as u run it on computer 10 generations older - very strange.

All in all, u cannot use it without net connection - at least on my end.

That is not normal.

You have a problem on your setup.

Never experienced anything like this. Offline should be no problem at all with P3DV5.

If u say that problem is on side. then i am thinking what can cause it - i have few things from ORBX, two planes from A2A and DC6 installed, PILOT'S mesh, FSUIPC - that's it.

Any hints ?

I wouldn't assume it has to be something flight-sim related.  I'd check to see if something like a Windows update is hanging in the background.

Are you using ActiveSky P3D or another weather program?
