OK, I'll check it tomorrow. Have already shut down for the night and ready for bed. Will let you know tomorrow. Thanks. Jim

Since getting the new sim I have flown several times without any problems. Now all of a sudden when I go to fly, the planes takeoff by themselves and fly without any input from my controls. In fact, the controls depicted on screen don't move. Don't know what I may have changed that is causing this. All planes are doing this and I can't control them. Any suggestions on what is happening? Thanks for any guidance. Jim

I've been using v5 almost exclusively and I still have v4 on the same drive. Whenever I try to use v4 I get a message which says: "There are multiple objects with the same title name. They must have unique title names". When I hit the "Close" button, it just advances to the next plane and repeats until it goes through my complete list of planes I have installed on v5. How do I get rid of these messages? Thanks. Jim

Thanks. Jim

Forgive my ignorance on this, but the VRAM readout, when pressing Shift Z, shows two readings such as 3.3/6.7. What are the two readings? The 6.7 reading stays constant but the first reading varies. I have a GTX 1080 card with 8G memory. So far I haven't had any VRAM problems. Thanks for any info. Jim

It's possible I did that Bert. Can't remember what it was set at while troubleshooting but it was a low number. I did set it to 100 but nothing changed. Was still getting 29 fps. Hitting Restore fixed it. Jim

Got it fixed. VSYNC was off in both in the sim and in the NVIDIA Control Panel so that wasn't the problem. I just went on and hit the Restore button on the NCP and that fixed it. FPS is now up in the 40's where it was originally. Not sure which setting was causing the problem. Anyhow all is well now. Jim

The only thing I changed was to activate SimLink. Not really sure if this problem started before or after . Deleted SimLink but the problem remains. What is so strange is that the sliders don't affect the fps at all even though I can see things change in the sim. If I change the fps setting to less than the 29 fps, say 15, that's what is shown. Just can't get the fps above 29. Jim

Since getting V5 I have been getting pretty good frame rates even though my system is getting a little long in the tooth. In my startup scenario which is using the default Carenado AC11 Commander 114 parked at KTCM cold and dark. My frames ran about 47 fps or there about. Now all a sudden my frames are about 29 fps. Don't know what had caused this decrease. The strange thing is it doesn't matter where my sliders are. I can have them all to the left or all to the right but the frame rate doesn't change. Even in flight. They may drop down to from 22 to 29 and it doesn't matter where I set the Target frame rate. It can be set anywhere up to Unlimited with no effect. Doesn't matter what plane I fly either. Fps stay about the same. Need some ideas on this one. Thanks. Jim My system: Win 10,64, I7 6800k 3.40hz, GTX 1080

Ok, Gotcha. Thanks. Jim

Thanks for the advice Reader. I was just following the directions from LM when they said to uninstall the current P3dv5 before installing the HF update. I'm a little confused now as what I should do in the future. Jim

I deleted the P3d folder before installing the HF Jim

By uninstalling P3d v5 as recommended prior to downloading and installing the new HF. Jim

Hi Branimir, Thanks for the info. This may be somewhat above my skill level but I may give it a try. Sure would beat having to reinstall all my planes which is really time consuming. Jim

When downloading planes, do they have to go into the Sim Objects folder or is it better to put them somewhere else? After P3dv5 came out I put them all (Carenado planes) in the Sim Objects folder but then lost them all when I did the latest upgrade. Would hate to have to go through that again if there is a better option. Thanks. Jim

Tried both suggestions but no joy. Finally uninstalled both planes and reinstalled only the Redux. Works ok now. Thanks for your tips. Jim

I have both the Milviz 310R and the 310R Redux. On the Redux, the yoke does not move although the flight controls move ok. The yoke moves ok in the 310R. The Redux is the only plane that has this problem. I have all controls calibrated through FSUIPC. Using the Honeycomb yoke. Any ideas what is happening here? Thank for any advice. Jim r

Sounds like me when I have a CTD. Jim

The only saved state that seems work on a consistent basis is the "Ready for Flight" selection. I like to use the "Cold and Dark" but if I select and save it, it seems to only work some of the time. If I so much as move the plane to another airport it no longer works. In that I mean when I click on the Master Switch nothing happens even though the switch does move to the "On" position. Don't know what I'm doing wrong here. Even shutting down P3d and restarting doesn't fix it. Anyone else experience this? Thanks for any guidance. Jim

I was an F-106 crew chief stationed at Elmendorf AFB, Alaska. One night a 6 was landing and the pilot misjudged his height above the runway because it was a different width than the one he was used to. He was TDY there at the time. Anyway, he was lower than he thought, hit the approach lights, sheared his gear and skidded right into a hanger. Burned the whole hanger down. He jumped out of the plane unhurt after it stopped sliding. Talk about a bad day. He admitted that he misjudged the height. He was even a squadron commander at the base he was TDY from. I think this was in 1964. Jim

Problem solved thanks to jvdbol. Unchecking "Enable HDR Overide" in Chase Plane to OFF fixed it. Really appreciate the tip. All is good now. Jim

Following is a list of my addons: AS ASCA REX Sky Force REX Environment Force Chase Plane FS Flight Control Spad Next FFTF Dynamic Jim

I tried HDR when it was first introduced in P3D but didn't care for it so I've done all of my flying without it. I recently purchased the Aerosoft CRJ Pro and although I like the plane, the cockpit is just too dark. I turned on HDR which allows the cockpit to look a lot better but the outside views are too bright and washed out. My problem is that the three adjustments for HDR have no effect. I can move the sliders from one end to the other without anything changing. Not sure what I'm missing, hence the requested guidance. My system is a Win 10 64, I7-6800K and GTX 1080. Thanks for any help with this. Jim

I've been having this happen for some time on about all my planes. When I select a plane to fly I have low fps and really jerking when panning around. Just turning on the battery results is a lot higher fps and smooth panning. It's not really a problem - just strange. Not really sure when this started but it's been happening for quite a while. Jim

I have been using AS4 and ASCA together for awhile. I now have added REX Sky Force and Environment Force. My question is when I use AS, SF, and EF together, what do I do about ASCA? Should I deactivate it or let it run automatically like it has always done when using AS. Does it even come into play? Just need some guidance on this. Thanks. Jim
