I have several of the PacSim sceneries, but $35,00 for some of the older sceneries is just more than I can afford even with a 30% discount.

Is this the "Iron Knuckles" DC-9 that originally came out for FS2004?

Very nice. I will give it a try. Now for a B707?

I'm not having issues at KSAT, KBHM, KCRP, KAMA, KBNA.

I've got one of the Ford Lightnings on order and it ain't going to be twenty grand. 🤣 On another note I just put almost 200 gallons of diesel and ten gallons of DEF in my RV. It's all a matter of perspective. 😉

I just checked the Orbx airports mentioned in this thread and do not have a floating issue with any of the airports. It is not a P3d issue. I am running P3dv5.3 with latest hotfixes, Orbx Global, OLC North America, and Orbx NA Southern Alaska, and the other Orbx NA Sceneries for the Rocky Mountains. If I had the issue I would find out the P3d base altitude for each of the airports and change the Orbx altitude for the airports I was having an issue with. This can easily be done using ADE. The above method is what I do when converting other 3rd party sceneries to P3dv5.3. It isn't a P3dv5.3 issue.

Most of my flights are long haul flying about 50 hours a week. The scenery issue has not been a problem for me. I have converted several payware airports from P3dv4 without any issues. I use ADE to convert my v4 airports to v5. The one thing I do in my conversions is change the elevation of the airport to be converted to the stock airport elevation for P3dv5.

Jerry, I'm not sure what the problem might be, but I'm not having any problems with the Flightbeam KSFO. Are you running it through the "Add-on" side of P3d. My director location is C:\Users\bill\Documents\Prepar3d v5 Add-ons\Flightbeam-KSFOHD.

I lost a SSD and had to replace P3dv5 without deactivating P3d. I just went to the LM website and downloaded a new file and installed it without any issues.

There is a school of thought where the belief is MSFS is correct and the real world is wrong. 🤣

That is certainly a possibility. I'm not using Megascenery Earth/Nuvecta.

I have the Orbx KTEX and I mine scenery doesn't look like that for RWY 9. No trees for sure. I am also using the ORBX "Trees HD".

I am a big fan of the MD-11 and looking forward to getting it. Compared to other aircraft of this quality from other developers, the price seems reasonable. Having played "you bet your job" in the a sim every six months for way too long, I most likely will pass on the Extended Simulation Package. My wingman from Vietnam flew the MD-11 for almost 20 years and had a great saying about it - "It's like my ex, fun to fly but unforgiving." 🤣

I have put approximately 20 hours on it and have not noticed any issues. Is seems to be very stable.

I read that a new update for the Q400 just came out. Have you tried it?
