  1. @longrangecruise You have to wait for email, can take between hours and days depending on how busy and/or healthy the author is. You will been to be patient, but worth it IMHO. Also the downloads are anything between 20 and 100GB for a state split into seperate 10GB zip archive files so you need to download the whole set for a state before exporting. Worth trying a few states, most are a big improvement on stock, and even Orbx Global in most cases
  2. Right ... so it's mucking things up on the bulk update operation? .. yeah I haven't refreshed liveries or schedules for a few months, tend to only do that couple of times a year max. Defo will hold off for awhile then. A bit off topic, but have just spent the last two weekends when weather not too flash outside building up a full retro AI install (manually using AIFP) for the USA and any majors who fly to/from there. Setting is the merger/pre-merger period 2007-2009 sorta years so can rock all the cool old US Airways, Continental, ATA, Midwest, Southwest, Sun Country liveries and swap most of the newer A380, 350 and 787 wide-bodies for 747s, loads of 757/757s and MD8x's, regional Saab340s, EMB120s etc. Was kinda fun collecting all the liveries and converting some older models w MCX. Looks great now, loving it (will fire up another thread for it)
  3. I've not seen many if any issues w missing non-P3D compatible paints Ray, I have hundreds of OCI installed airlines and non missing from what I can see. Most FSX paints will work fine. Mind you, I do have a lot of payware AI models from FSPX so perhaps some of the Airbus and Boeing models have FSPX paints these days....
  4. Thanks Rocky. Finally picked up the updated EGLC London City for P3D.
  5. Try changing the following value to "3.0" .. it's a reference to the source containing your main blend mask, it's currently referencing "6.0" which doesn't exist as you only have 3 sources right?
  6. Have you updated your GPU drivers recently? worth re-installing an older version of them? Could it also be an AI traffic file update? try removing any in scenery/world/scenery/ that have been recently updated. Also, could be a setting you made recently that's stored in Prepar3D.cfg, try saving the file somewhere then deleting the original so P3D recreates a brand new copy with default settings? Can always reinstate your latest .cfg if that's not the problem.
  7. AIFP v3 is avail over at fsdeveloper, works well, will compile for FSX and P3D https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/resources/ai-flight-planner.279/
  8. Remember the PSS 777 well, was quite decent in it's day. Good luck, hope ya find something. Guess you've considered the Wilco 777 or even the freeware POSKY 777 in the meantime? https://www.wilcopub.com/777-the-modern-airliner-collection-wilco-fleet-5428.html
  9. Jeeze, I was trying to install an AI pack for NetJets and WheelsUp yesterday, was quite the mission tracking down the P3D compatible models for the various biz-jets and liveries, so many sites and sources ... Got there in the end w a couple of payware DFAI models for the Phenom and Citation 680A. Now my virtual skies and tarmacs are loaded with them 😘
  10. they're USUALLY avail right here in the avsim library but for some reason they're not turning up in the extended file search at the moment, e.g. tfs77w.zip even the AlphaIndia index points back to here for the TFS 777 but the links don't work https://www.alpha-india.net/forums/index.php?topic=4198.0
  11. Been really pleasing to see some continuing interest, few more threads popping up lately. Re scenery, I'm no modeller but I have been doing a bunch of photoreal and AFCAD tweak sets for various smaller regional airports lately, esp. in the USA. Have done this for places like Spokane KGEG, Boise KBOI, Laredo KLRD, Brownsville KBRO, Muscle Shoals KMSL, Dodge City KDDC, Wichita KICT, Lexington KLEX etc. and mostly to work-above/blend-with either Orbx Global or Fernando's FCScenerys photoreal/auto-gen packs. Have typically done them where there's a decent AFCAD or freeware airport available and then edited the AFCAD to hide runway and taxiways and let the custom photoreal show through where its available at a decent level of detail, and add a few library objects here and there. Yes, I wouldn't need to do this if I moved to MSFS 202x but for now I'm sticking w P3D. If there's any interest might fire up a separate thread or website and work out a way to share them? If I've edited an existing AFCAD I'll need to seek permission from the original author before releasing that, the photoreal will work OK without it although certain placements and taxiways wont line up properly without the moded AFCAD.
  12. Worth considering a Radeon RX 9070 XT too, slightly cheaper than a xx90 .. good bang for buck.
  13. Nice. Will grab this. Have their earlier freeware for Cape Verde which is great for a freebie.
  14. Chances are they are in the main scenery folder under your P3D install, e.g. C:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5\Scenery\World\scenery\ .. or .. Documents\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons\TrafficGlobal\scenery Look for names like... Traffic_LibyanWings_Summer25.bgl And rename them with an extension like .OFF or something, then they won't get loaded next time you start the sim, but you can reinstate later by renaming back to ***.bgl
  15. Nope, sadly (I just missed out buying it before it went offline)
