Based on the search I just ran on their discord, there is no WX radar or terrain map, I am not really sure why they couldnt include both as many other airliners availble in FS20 have at least one of these features. I know the weather radar is just a simple bitmap and is nothing like the real thing but we use these tools IRL and for a plane that is offering this level of detail and systems depth, I cannot understand why these are lacking....

exactly! I am trying to find out if there is a new DB available somewhere but there are so many threads it would take hours to read it all. I wish this would be compatible with navigraph, I cant even practice some of the approaches at my local airport because the data is so old. A shame, this is a really good product. John.

hi guys, I am still having issues with the program, I have followed the tutorial on youtube (making sure my cfg file points to the P3D SDK), basically when I click the "Batch Build" button, this message appears in the main program window: (I tried various zoom level, same message) SX/P3D building requires both the tile and mask zooms to equal. Setting the mask zoom to the tile zoom of 12 Nothing happens after that (I waited for 1 hour), the only thing that seems to work is when I click the "All in one button" then it seems to work as per the youtube video, Thanks in advance for any assistance.. I am really looking forward to try some tiles with the new A2A release today 🙂 Regards, John.

will do, I have been able to get it going by clicking on the "all in one button". I get the message about zoom level when clicking on the batch build button. Thank you for your assistance! John

Yes I have pressed apply on the setting page. I start the program Ortho4XP_v130.exe from the Dist folder. The black command prompt window is blank when I start the program. The only thing I see in the black command prompt window (or the main program), is the message : FSX/P3D building requires both the tile and mask zooms to equal. Setting the mask zoom to the tile zoom of 16 I clicked on the All in one button and it did build a folder in the tiles folder, but this looks like an Xplane scenery folder. Thank you for getting back to me, much appreciated! John.

bump - sorry dont want to be a pain but I dont see anything happening (tried to let it run for a while), but I am stuck on that message .. any idea? thx

I should have indicated that I made sure the ZL is the same on the main page and on the settings page, nothing else happens after this message appears, Not sure what to do next. Thanks all for getting back to me!

I am getting this error message when trying to batch build a tile: FSX/P3D building requires both the tile and mask zooms to equal. Setting the mask zoom to the tile zoom of 16 I watched the tutorial video and can't figure out what is wrong, can anyone help please? thanks!

100% agree with Nuno .. one of the best (if not the best IMO)

go get it! I too am a P3D user, but got lucky and got the Early adopter version, I picked up FSX Steam for a few bucks, and I have to say this is one realistic bird. The wind page will be available in the upcoming SP (see their forum), in the meantime, I hope everyone enjoys it the way I have been John.

thank you Steve, looking forward to download! John

Yes you must land within the markings Richard John

This bird is amazing, single engine taxi behavior is very realistic, (after a long single engine taxi, I started #2 a bit late and got the ENG2 OIL TEMP LOW - Delay Takeoff Try failing an engine @ V1 and it will behave like the real thing .. The amount of ECAM alerts is vast. I cant stop flying it John

I was also lucky to get it, single engine behavior is on par and they did a fantastic job with the FBW . a winner!

I downloaded and it was done within minutes. I am dowloading FSX Steam now, and that might take more time. One thing I noticed is that you need to dowload FSL Spotlights, but their forum is down now. Probably crash due to too many people hitting F5 Looking forward to take this Airbus for a spin shortly Regards John

I seriously cannot understand why people complain about the pricing. These guys are running a business, they have spent years developing this product, which, according to the information available on their site, is going to be a PMDG like product. I think the pricing is reasonable, and one can certainly wait for the product to be out to get feedback from customers, and make your own judgement. They are like you and I, trying to make a living and feed their families. The product is not even out and some are already whining John

I purchased both AS16/ASCA and I am very satisfied with what I see so far. Thank you HIFI for the hard work! Happy Landings John.

I recently purchased a new rig, top of the line (I7-6700K, 980Ti, etc.), so yes I can set most sliders to the right with acceptable performance (I dont look @ the FPS counter, all I care is smoothness). That part is fine, however, start installing add-on (FTX, PMDG, FSDT) and now getting OOM on most long flights. Reading the forums, it seems that the only cure is to bring the sliders to the right (Radius, less AI, etc.) so now I have a shiny new toy that can run fast, but need to turn the settings down to be able to complete a flight.. the joy of flight sim/tweaking, etc etc. Happy landings John.

I am done supporting this company, I did open a ticket months ago about the weather radar not working for P3D. They responded a fix is coming, never happens, and probably never will. It seems that bugs or incorrectly programmed features are being carried from one aircraft to the other. Here is the my message and Carenado response: Hi, I purchased the navigraph extension pack for the EMB505, however it doesnt install in P3Dv3. Is this going to be fixed? Also, the weather radar doesnt install in P3DV3, there is no entry for the METEO gauge in the DLL.XLM, when trying to add it manually, it crashed P3DV3. Will this be also fixed? Carenado Support January 11, 2016 13:44 Greetings, Absolutely! We are working on some incompatibility issues to solve them as soon as we can. Stay tuned to our Facebook page for news about this. Regards, Carenado. Regards, John

did you go to the GTN config utility and made sure the brightness is set to 100%? John

that is a great shot Rich, thank you for sharing. I actually uninstalled 3.3 and back to 3.2 (had too many OOMs) and flying KSFO -> KLAX using ORBX North & SoCal at the moment Happy landings John

thanks for the tip Dave, and Mathias I would not hold my breath I dont think they are going to fix this (I have not seen any comments from the dev on this, but hopefully they will take our feedback. I can't imagine this being a big deal to fix) John.

I remember a thread (sorry cant find it) where it was stated that some coding was done that impacted the brightness. I wish flysimware would do something about it, this issue is rather annoying when flying dusk/dawn John

You can easily fix this by going to the ground maintenance in the FMC (Menu/FS Actions/Ground Maintenance) and replace tires & brakes. You probably have a few flat tires John
