Post the contents of your scenery.cfg so we can examine it.

Luis, thank you for your post.

Thanks very much, will look into it. Regards

I would like to record on my videos the pilot/atc transmissions while on Vatsim, I use a program called Bandicam to record the video, this program also records the sound and has setting options for Primary and Secondary Audio devices.As far as headsets go I have USB headset and an old analogue type with green and red plugs. Despite trying a few things I've not been able to record any of the sound received via the headset whether spoken by the Controller or me. Advice from someone who has managed to get this to work or any links where I can find out more, would be much appreciated.

Mike Thank you for the information, didn't realise you could do that. Will look into it. Regards

I purchased GSX and seems to work OK on v3, however one thing I find very annoying is when it tells me my parking is not big enough to provide me with ground services, when in fact the aircraft is parked at a heavy gate or cargo that is used in real life by such aircraft. So no ability to pushback, etc, etc. - Another issue is that a large number of gates and parking areas are missing at major airports and therefore one cannot use the follow me vehicle to guide you to the desired parking. My verdict 5 out of 10.

System Images are used by IT professionals to quickly install Operating Systems and can be applied to Simulator installations too. All it requires is applying some thought as to what needs to be included in them, Pretty straight forward really. You know what they say.... "you can take a horse to water but you cannot make him drink".

Whenever there is a new version of P3D out I do a clean install of the Operating System with the relevant Windows updates, and any other software that I need. Then I install P3D and activate it. When you are done and assuming you have P3D installed in your C:\ drive, create a system image. If P3D is installed on a separete drive then create a System Image and a separate image to include all your P3D folders. - If for any reason you have problems and need to rebuild the system at a later stage all you have to do is load the System Image followed by the P3D image (if the sim is on a second drive). Reinstalling the OS and P3D via images is a very quick process and will avoid the long and tedious standard reinstall. Regards

I had a serious issue caused by the tool which required a full reinstall of P3D some time back, having said that I have used it successfully on a few occasions on v3.3.5 without any problems, mind you I always uninstall it after each use. Still touching wood.......

I had a lot of screen tearing and solved it by turning on Aero on my Win 7 64 OS. No tearing since. Assuming of course you are on Win7 not sure if similar exists in Win 8 or Win 10.

Moving on with the times..... I think that from now on we will have to ask before buying whether or not a scenery developer is commited to support P3D though its development, after all they should all know by now that this platform is still in constant development. What we need to avoid are developers who will sell you a product that works only in one or two versions of the sim but will not bother to update as and when new and better changes begin to appear. We have the power of our wallets and if no assurances are forthcoming well then.....just don't buy from them. We need commitment and good quality products to match P3D don't waste your time with low quality products not fit for this sim. We will soon be able to separate the wheat from the chaff.

When I decided to switch to Prepar3D it was with full knowledge that this simulator would undergo further development and that at various points in time some things such as sceneries or aircraft would just not work or would be subject to further changes. I do not regret this decision and I am quite happy to report any issues to developers in the hope they will get fixed, but if that is not the case also quite happy to abandon for good those particular items and the vendors responsible for not wanting to update their products to suit the Prepar3D platform. In the end there will always be someone who will be ready to take up the opportunity to develop and update products for this platform. We just have to be patient. Let us not get angry by the various temporary difficulties we experience everytime there is a new version release. Be content that we will at some point in the not too distant future have the best simulator in the market. Please forget any disagreements and be happy. :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:
