biloo

A tragic news and it occurred when stranded families and working employees were returning home for Eid holidays this long weekend. Last ATC audio released into media the pilots indicated loss of engines on approach and indicated unable to land the planes on any two runways made available by control tower. An eye witness described the plane was getting heavy on its tail end of fuselage as it was on final approach before it crashed into 4 houses below destroying 8 houses in the area. So far a pilot has been found dead. While rescue operations are still underway. May God bless the souls deceased and help families inflicted by the accident.

I have debit visa but I have never tried using that card for online purchases so i am not sure if it will work or will it incur any costs. I will need to find that out from the bank.

Hi Does anyone here know how we can purchase P3D V5 using paypal or other means than using credit card. For personal reasons I had to cancel my credit cards and would prefer to make payment through paypal instead. If anyone is aware your help would be appreciated. Thank you

I can't use my credit card, is the another way I can buy p3d v5? Can I use PayPal?

I am having this issue as well. I have updated my p3d to HF2 and installed the latest FSLABS A320 which supposed to be compatible but got the same error message...

Quick question. I am already on v4.5. To update hf1 do I need to install client only or do I need to also install other components? Do I need to update other addons as well?

Yes it can take it's time. What happens is one of the developer's server does not report time left so you think its frozen when its actually downloading the repaints.

Thanks Adam, I just did that. Quick question regarding the new pta 2.66. PTA 2.66 I downloaded doesn't have Matt's ini file. Can I use the one provided in v2.65 zip file ?

Is there something I can do to improve performance? Currently I am in p3d v4.5 and when I set AI traffic to 1% at any major airport like uk2000 Heathrow or Aerosoft eddf my fps drops down to 10 to 13 using qw787 or fsl a320. If I set AI to 0, I gain back a lot of fps. It sometimes goes back up to 22 fps. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

Hi Matt, I think I did a boo boo with my pta 2.66. Instead of making any backup with my shaders I eagerly applied ini shaders file provided with 2.65 into 2.66 and instead getting an error. I tried to check and uncheck Urban lighting but still getting the same error messages: In the end I was able to load initial config file.

Sorry for bumping this thread back up but I am also experiencing this issue after upgrading my p3d from 4.4 to 4.5. Didn't happen before the update. Its happening randomly. I don't have FSL Concorde but I do have FSL A320. However this crash first occurred yesterday with FSL A320 approaching into FlyTampa OMDB with traffic set to 0. Today it happened using QW 787 loading Imaginesim WSSS scenery. Addons I use are Orbx FTX Global, ASP4, ASCA, GSX Expansion. Right now I am updating my Nvidia driver from 419.35 to 425.31. I can't be sure if it occurs again because it happens randomly very occasionally.

Ok thanks. Will do.

I took the bait and upgraded to 4.5. Performance wise I didn't experience any stutters. I was able to do a quick flight from cyyz to cyyz using p3d provided aircraft. It wPent very smoothly. I then loaded a new scenario and loaded up flytampa omdb scenery using updated FSL A320 aircraft. I didn't bother to configure the plane much. Just setup in mcdu that rte will be omdb/omdb arrival will be rwy 12L. As I was making final approach my p3d crashed 11nm away from runway. I will test this again but so far pretty good.

I confirm I am getting the same error message. While the fix is being looked into, is there a way I can revert back to original settings ?

That is very interesting. It probably plays into the theory simbol was suggesting about autogen setting. I also observed in BB's stream with p3d 4.5 using FSL A320 making an evening approach into Brussels airport and towards the final approach there were noticeable pauses occurring. All in all I think its liveable but still hoping for improvement. What do you think ?
