The main difference from FSX DX10 to P3Dv3 for me is visual. With UTX2/FTX global on both systems, P3D is dramatically superior. Performance wise, P3D is ahead just. However, too much AI and extreme high settings, P3D will still stagger at major hubs like EGLL and EDDF.

AS Bus works fine in P3D. FPS are overall better. However, F9-F12 zoom does not work. All other panel views are fine. Have posted at AS and here but no reply.

Assuming you have FSX and P3D installed. Just copy and paste one chosen scenery from one to the other. Some have effects and a scenery/world/scenery entry as well, but not all. Then fire up P3D and install to the library.

With FSX installed you can copy and paste all your sceneries that don't have a P3Dv3 installer. Most work fine. Trial and error.

The new AS Berlin and Frankfurt are the worst for OOMs. I even took a step back and tried EDDF in FSX DX10 and OOM, Something is not right.

Sorry I was joking. I know, I had PFE and I have PF3 where many of the voices are the same.

It has now been well documented that ProATC has only 4 pilot voices whereas PF3 has a few more. The other thing that annoyed me about ProATC is the failure rate to handle FSC flightplans, about one in three. It fails to recognise some waypoints. All AIRACS being the latest.

The latest ATC is PF3, an updated version of PFE. It is the only one to have over 100 voices from all over the world, making it more realistic. Also it handles AI aircraft perfectly well unlike some of the opposition.

Hello A recent convert to P3D v3.2. So Far so good, quite impressive. One small problem with the AS airbus, the preset panel views F9,F10,F11 and F12 are not zoomable as in FSX. No idea why this should be. It seems Aerosoft are as well as I have not had a reply. Yes, there are plenty of other views that are zoomable but they are not as convenient.

Actually, the last three airacs have been the same. No ILS R7 as a landing option. However, as I said I can do an ILS approach after installing the frequency manually.

I recently purchased LatinVFR Montego Bay for FSX. However, there is something adrift. The scenery is nice enough, but using Airbus or Boeing with the latest airacs, there is no ILS landing option for R7. I know there is one, as I can put the frequency in manually and then land on an ILS approach. But why does it not come up in the FMC as an option? Is it something to do with UTX TAC?? If so what to do about it.

I am surprised ProFlight Emulator [PFE] has not been mentioned. It has hundreds of pilot/controller voices available making it one of the most realistic ATC addons available.

I have, but on a separate drive. You can pick up a decent one on the famous auction site at a sensible price.

I have UK2000 Heathrow 3. Very nice it is too. Yes, with my chosen aircraft taxing for take off with 30% AI, I get 8-12 fps. However, to get things in perspective, with zero AI and a default C172, I can circle the airport with 30/30 fps. The same performance I get at the other major hubs. As always it is the AI which most of us can not do without.

Have you checked out the pre-programmed failures via the FMC. They could be active.
