First year P3D is not a sponsor at some level for FSExpo and also no representation either. I think they have officially thrown in the towel on the consumer level product.

Not scammers...the developer just quit left the guy running the website hanging basically. There were some work arounds in their forum for the unfinished KDTW beta that made it a pretty good option.

I think it is approaching EOL for the consumer market. Part of the drop from P3D 5.x to 6.x was the lack of developer support. If a v 7.x comes out and it is an entirely new engine nothing will port over...thus fewer consumers will migrate. UNLESS it blows the competition out of the water and developers come back. I've used p3d up till recently for my cockpit. Just recently uninstalled it and am migrating over to MS for now. Their (LM / P3D) market is not us, it is the commercial so I don't think they are too concerned about simmers sticking around. It was a favor to keep the hobby alive when MS decided to quickly exit the market. I'm part of a community of simmers that have built dedicated cockpits of 737 and/or Airbus variants. Many are moving over to MS, so the comment about it being just for gamers isn't really factual its an opinion. In reality, I hope P3D can surge in popularity again. Competition is always good and helps drive the industry to (hopefully) better technology and systems.

OK will try this again as I see autocorret chopped off what I was saying. Check to make sure g-sync is turned off in your Nvidia control panel. That was causing issues for me when trying to get my 3 projectors to play nice at 30hz

If you have sync on turn it off.

An no need to overspend on a ROG. Tests show there isn't a big difference between the stock and the OC 4090s.

They used to have one you could request directly if you sent an e-mail. I have a Nav update for v5 and that is how I had to get it. I see they don't list that on their site anymore but might be worth a try.

Thanks for the tips. I've been in IT for over 20 years so I've tried about every option already. Talked to the isp too and everything tests out OK and I have no issues downloading files that are under 1gb, and even larger from other sites. Guess I will go hit up a coffee shop or something then.

I've been using p3d 2.5 for quite some time and a few weeks ago bought p3d version 3. Since then I've been fighting with downloading it from their servers. I've been only successful on the few individual downloads that are under a gig in size. The majority of the larger files I've never been able to get the md5 to match what they say it should be. I've tried different browsers, different download managers, etc. To no avail. I need some help! I've searched and tried many suggestions but I'm thinking my isp (line of sight over the air isp) just isn't good quality. Any chance a fellow sumer could get me a dvd or something? I'm at my whit''s end with this and am frustrated every day return downloading, only to wait hours and find out none of the md5s match...ugh. I should add this is the academic version...not sure that makes any difference. Thanks in advance

Make sure you read up on ProATC. I use PFPX as well and by default it'll select your SID / STAR for you usually. And ProATC will want to do that as well, and it can result in some rather interesting flightplans. There's some good info on their forums over there that should help you learn the best way to go as far as PFPX / ProATC-X, and your FMC.

I'd second FS Global 2010. They are the only 'authorized' one that works well with ORBX. If I weren't so heavily invested into FSGenesis back in the day I'd get FS Global 2010, but my 'galaxy membership' days gave me plenty from FSGenesis that I've made work OK with Prepar3d.

I don't quite see how it could be a typo since they state that they aren't going to include it in the v2 fork because of the potential for issues.

Before we go further, did Prepar3d work OK before you installed your add-ons as it looks like you've got PMDG, FSDT, and ASN for starters? If it did, then we probably need to disable them all to see if we can figure out which one is the troublemaker. So you've got several add-on's that are trying to startup there. I'd suggest 'disabling' them and trying Prepar3d with no add-on's to see if it'll fire up for you. In the dll.xml change the <Disabled>False</Disabled> line to <Disabled>True</Disabled> for the following: Addon Manager, PMDG HUD Interface, FSUIPC, and as_connect. Do the same in the exe.xml for the following: Couatl, as_btstrp_config_manager, and EZdok. Try Prepar3d again running as administrator to see if it works. If it does, then it is a process of elimination by re-enabling each add-on one by one, trying Prepar3d, and seeing if it works. If it still doesn't work after disabling these add-on's then we may need to look in another direction, but usually startup issues are tied to something in one of these. I'd start by enabling them one by one based on their complexity, so for example , re-enable FSUIPC, then try Prepar3d. If it works, then do the Addon Manager, etc...

I'd check the dll.xml and exe.xml file to see what if any additional programs are trying to load. If you aren't sure where these are do a search, as I'm not at my home computer now to check (I think the appdata folder). Also, are you running Prepar3d.exe as an administrator? If not, right click on your shortcut and select 'Run As Administrator' and see if that fixes the issue. It's a few places to start with troubleshooting. Report back and we can go from there.
