Hi John, Thanks for the quick reply. I found the culprit. It was a Saitek panels plugin. Once I disabled it all the switches came to life! Paul

Hello all, I am suddenly having a strange problem where if I click on a switch in the cockpit (the alternator switch, for instance), it will not move to the opposing position. I can see it "want" to move (in other words, it starts to move, then clicks back into the same position). I thought maybe it was my Saitek Switch Panel creating a conflict, but I unplugged it today and it still happens. I just bought the Airfoil Labs C172 and it looks INCREDIBLE, but I can't start the engine! This is happening to ALL aircraft. Help!! Thanks!! Paul

Nice shots! Just curious though...what program are you using that's giving you the green text at the top of the screen "CLIMB TO CRUISE LEVEL?"

Hi guys, I just updated my P3d to v3.3 and I run a triple monitor setup, but I can't for the life of me figure out where to access the changes to the muti-monitor support? I checked the settings screens within P3D and it all looks the same to me. I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks! Paul

Hi guys, I am currently running 3.1 and want to update the client only to 3.3. Here comes the dumb question part...does the 3.3 update include the 3.2 update (in other words, can I go to 3.3 right from 3.1). Thanks, Paul

Thanks, Bob. I found all those places and got rid of everything. Now I'm off to reinstall the updated version...I'll let you know how it goes! Thanks again for the help, brother! Paul

Hi Bob, I just deleted the P3D files in documents, but can you tell me where I can find Program Data? I have my User Account set to the lowest security setting, so it never bothers me when I install programs, and I almost never have to run programs as an administrator, although I did try that with P3D and I still get the same error message. I am downloading the brand new update released today so I will delete everything and start from scratch again. thanks! Paul

Oh man, I think I messed something up big time. I had FSX boxed installed, along with P3d v2 and v3. I had P3d v3 working great, so I decided to "strip" FSX by uninstalling most of my scenery (LOT'S of Orbx and others), aircraft, etc., just to free up some badly needed disk space. Now, P3d won't start at all. I get the splash screen and then the window that says "Prepar3d exe has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." So, I uninstalled P3d v3 and did a reinstall, but I still get the same error message and fail to run. Any ideas? Thanks! I am running Windows 10, by the way. Paul

Hello, Sorry for the dumb question...if I have purchased A2A aircraft (Commanche, Cherokee, Cub, and both Cessnas) only for FSX is there a way to get them to install in to P3D v3, or do I need to purchase them all again for P3D? thanks! Paul

I've always wondered what exactly FSX is loading at 6%? That "spot" is by far the longest pause in the loading sequence for me. Paul

truly incredible. Like the kids say these days......I am TOTES JEALLY!!! Paul

Hello All, A while ago I tried a bit of the Blue Sky photo real scenery for an area just south of KSFO, but I installed the excellent ORBX Northern California scenery package, and I am still seeing the Blue Sky scenery. I tried deactivating the Blue Sky scenery in the scenery library from within FSX, and even deleted it completely from the scenery library, but strangely it persists. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks! Paul

Aerosoft Mega-Airport London or UK2000 Heathrow Extreme v2? Paul

Thanks, everyone for the swift replies. Adi, that looks sweet!!! Paul

Hello All! I remember seeing an FSX front end somewhere (a program that allows you to select aircraft, location, time and date, etc., outside of FSX and then start a flight with your chosen parameters), but I can't locate it now. Does anybody know what I am talking about? Thanks, Paul
