I have bought ENVTEX and ENVSHADE and whilst I’ve improved things with the help of the author I’d appreciate any help you can provide to further reduce the excess of blue in the atmosphere.

I’m planning to buy the third product that cleans up waves and anything else it’s capable of. Thanks Rob. 😁👍

Wasn't there a website with all the user-made presets, with preview screenshots etc... ? Or am I confusing with another shader tool ? 😕

Yes you can do that in the same exact way in MSFS. However, departure ICAO means specifying the name of the airport, but how do you specify which gate/parking you want to start from ? In MSFS it defaults to the active runway. Isn't it the same in P3D ?

Also, that "simple" implies that you actually know the ICAO code and the location of the parkings. On MSFS, you don't need to know, you just scroll on the map, zoom in on the airport and click on the parking spot (or runway) you want to start from. That's simple, and I cannot see anything "clunky" in that.

Firstly, I have no interest in MSFS. I just stated how simple it was to load my aircraft at my chosen gate in P3D.

I have all my purchased airports pinned in Google Earth Pro together with the ICAO. Once that’s entered a dropdown is available to choose a gate. I don’t start my flights on the runway.

I never used the word “clunky”.

I’m not aware of one.

Highly recommend using TOGA projects to tune the environment lighting in P3D v5 … makes a world of difference.

My main issue with P3D is the white point/brightness (every day looks like a winter morning...). Which TOGA do you think would address that best?

I’ll try to locate my notes/settings … v5.4 is installed but have NOT installed all my add-ons yet … consumed with XP12.4 beta at the moment.

As far as flight planning, MSFS nor P3D are as useful or easy as Navigraph … If you’re serious about flight planning I wouldn’t use any of the built-in tools for any sim platform.

Please bear in mind I’m using v5.3HF2 after experiencing many lockups in 5.4 using AIG BGL plans.

I don’t. I use PFPX. 😉

Ah ok, sorry I didn't realize you had replied without even taking the time to read the conversation before.

Don’t get sarcastic with me. I did read your posts.

That sounds like some other issue and not related to 5.4?  Anyway, shouldn’t matter, ENV series works the same in V5.x … maybe I’ll have to install the FSL Concorde … dooh!  

@Ray Proudfoot

Can you get to FSLabs website?  

https://www.flightsimlabs.com/

Invalid certificate.

Interesting ...

I was going to buy the Concorde for P3dV5.  Do I have the correct URL?

 

UPDATE:

Tried getting to FSLabs website from my other PC that only has Windows Defender installed and I didn't get block or any certificate warning.  Seems MalwareBytes found something it didn't like with FSLabs website, but Windows Defender did not ... hmmm ... will report to MalwareBytes folks, they very responsive.

Purchased, will install just for you Ray 😉

Glad you were able to access the site and make the purchase. It helps having Simwings Heathrow and FSDT JFK.

How to start this thing quick … no quick ready for takeoff option?

EDIT forgotten just how sharp P3D5 was with 4XSSAA … wow … I can see why you’re sticking with v5

Tut tut! 🤣 It’s far too complicated for that. Especially with your limited knowledge of how to fly her. Do the tutorial. I know it won’t get you in the air immediately but there’s a lot to learn.

And can I suggest you start a new topic here if you want guidance. Don’t want to hijack this topic. 😉

Not retired yet Ray and a million and one other projects ... you got a quick start guide I can use?  PM me.
