  1. No. Some add-ons require registry entries.
  2. Wilhelm -- just an FYI -- you won't get any support from LM since the Terms of Service state that support is not included in the license. Sorry to give you the bad news.
  3. Does anybody have a list of what airports, etc are broken in the upgrade? Some of us are z-challenged and don't know how to determine what works and what doesn't. Many thanks, P.
  4. Did you turn on the panel lights?
  5. How do you pan around in Tower view? All I can do is zoom in/out....
  6. I am currently on 3.0 and want to update to 3.2.3. Can I just download the current update and install or do I need to install the incremental ones before 3.2.3? Thx P.
  7. How does this work with GSX in P3D v3.1? Thx P.
  8. It seems to me this should be also a valuable discussion for LM for future upgrades of P3D (including hopefully ATC). Thanks @hesynergy! One thing LM could easily fix I assume is the new (for FAA) ICAO phraseology of "Line Up and Wait" rather than the now outdated "Position and Hold". P.
  9. Quoting from their sales literature: "A single ASN license permits either or both FSX and Prepar3D versions to be installed and used on a single machine" However, "License is valid for one computer/installation only. Moving software to another computer will deactivate the previous computer. 10 automatic reactivations are permitted. Multiple-computer installations will require an individual ASN license for each computer that it is installed on."
  10. Am downloading Simstarter now. Thanks so much for the tip, you all have been very helpful. I did find Addit Pro! but I really don't want to spend 29.95 for it. Anyway, have a great 2016! P.
  11. Thanks for the insight! Any suggestions as to freeware tools? P. Yes, also used the "Filter" feature where I can watch Prepar3d.exe only. It is absolutely amazing what is going on behind the scenes! P.
  12. Hi Chas: Thanks so much for the tip. Works like a charm. Stay warm P.
  13. Hi All: For Christmas I took advantage of the Megascenery Earth (ME) sales and completed almost all of the lower 48. I now have over 44 ME entries in my scenery.cfg file. In the past, P3D would load in about a minute or two with only the Western US ME states active. With all the states active, load times have increased exponentially to about 7 or 8 minutes. So as a test, I turned off all the ME entries (using the outstanding Scenery Config Editor -- highly recommended) and P3D loaded almost immediately. I also bought a new 3Tb hard drive where my airports and scenery data is stored. P3D runs off a different SSD. Other than deciding where I want to fly before starting P3d and activating/deactivating the applicable ME states, are there any suggestions as to how to get around this issue. I am surprised that P3D is trying to load all the states since my default flight is in California. One other question -- is there anyway to watch what files are being loaded when P3D starts up and the little progress box (i.e. Terrain Data Loading, 6%) is displayed? Many thanks, P.
  14. Thanks all for the input! P.
  15. Hi All: For some reason the Bombardier CRJ700 is not showing up in my list of aircraft to select from. I have looked at the aircraft.cfg and nothing looks wrong. Is this an AI only aircraft? If so, how do I tell it is AI only? Thanks, P.
  16. Perhaps I am dating myself, but in the FS days, one of the interesting things to do was to look for Easter Eggs hidden (or sometimes not) by the coders. Has anybody found any in P3D? I tried a search here and didn't find anything. Have a great weekend of flying :smile: P.
  17. I have found that for the GS to work, the "GPS/NAV" switch needs to be moved to "NAV" if you were on GPS navigation. Regards, P.
  18. Hi Rob: Thanks for the reply. I was actually asking @JustanotherPilot about his settings since we have the same family of cards. And, thanks so much for all the information you have provided. I made the switch to P3d v3 and am much happier Your insights and information really helped. P.
  19. Hi: I have the same level of graphics card that you do. What are your graphics, etc settings? All people post are Nivdia settings... Thx P.
  20. Marcel -- what graphics card do you have? In P3d 2.5, my 270X did not run well at all with the 15.x driver and I dropped back to 14.12. I have not upgraded to 3.0 yet. Thx P.
  21. Hi All: I am thinking of purchasing P3D, Academic version. Is the watermark for that version overly intrusive? Does anybody have a screenshot showing it? Which version (professional vs academic) are most people running? Thx P.
  22. Thanks Jim for the quick response. For some reason lately when I approach any add-on airport, my fps drop like a rock. I am trying to figure out why. ANyway, will scan the forums (fora?) for hints. P.
