So I guess it's time to clock in some DCS hours while waithing for a more permanent METAR fix... 😅tch es what the METAR was for the date it resets. Same occurs with different aircraft and on different airfields. Quite an annoying issue.Loading into the sim, initially the METAR shows the actual weather (current) but 10-15 seconds later it resets to an old date (always 26th Jan). The in-sim weather appears wrong compared with the actual, it rather matches what the METAR was for the date it resets. Same occurs with different aircraft and on different airfields. Quite an annoying issue.

By any chance the addon is Sky4Sim? It recently updated to v1.6. Afterwards I started having the METAR/Live weather issues. Removed it and while METAR remains broken (reverting to 25th, 26th Jan), at least the "persistent clear skies" issue is gone and in sim weather synchs with the METAR. Not sure if related though, just trying to troubleshoot on my end..

Sunday, 5th Feb was having constant METAR issue, was thinking something is broken on my end after the recent MSFS update. Glad to see it's not LoL Issue detail: Loading into the sim, initially the METAR report (MSFS METAR window selected for the nearest airport) shows the current METAR report but 10-15 seconds later it resets to an old date (always 26th Jan). The in-sim weather appears wrong from the start, it rather matches what the METAR was like for the date it resets. Same occurs with different aircraft and on different airfields...

I'm having a weird issue with the MCDU. Whenever I'm trying to input dep/arr airport (for example LOWW/LOWI) in the INIT page of the MCDU, nothing happens. The row remains blank and no flight plan can be further created/edited. Latest dev. version installed. The same with stable. Any ideas?

Kyle, No, that's a view purely from inside, a combination of ChasePlane custom "over the shoulder" view and bit of TrackIR view point moved towards the window (but not crossing):

Marc, thanks for the clarification..

In VC when looking over the shoulder (close to the window but not outside the VC model) I can see the wingtip and part of the engine nacelle. I assume IRL those can be seen as well considering the length of the wing. Unfortunately the external model seems to have no textures. Is this on purpose? Can textures be added?

Yes, all good with TSS. I did notice it too with the stock sound. With TSS I could not hear it anymore.

That's correct. I load the Maddog from the opening screen and then into the flight no issue with looping APU sound (or any other sound).

Temporary solution - don't switch on all lights like a Christmas tree. Landing / take off with the inboard landing lights only, taxi - nose taxi light only. Gives reasonable FPS.

You don't need to reinstall the mega scenery. Add manually the areas with the software SceneryConfig 1.19 (P3D v4 ready), it is fairly straight forward to use. Point the path to the "scenery" folders where the mega files are already installed (one by one for each area) and jump in the P3D. Working fine.

Maybe I'm missing something but in the light of the 64b LM Prepar3D v4 imminent release and nearly all major 3rd party developers converting their products (for free) I have the feeling that the dovetail product is pretty much "dead on arrival"... I've seen videos and quite frankly can't see a valid reason to look that way.

Respect Sir. Great treat for your customers.

KL thank you for the response. No, I have installed the multiple packs listed on the first page (last being the 179 ships). By the way I installed the P3D v2.5 fix of the effects and this resolved the vertical lines. Only now most of the wakes are flickering but I guess I can live with that.. I will also look around for the all-in-one pack V1 that you mention.

Hello! First thanks for the awesome work and package, bringing live to the empty seas. I run P3D v3.4 and I have sea traffic now. I've noticed that there is a problem with the effects and specifically the ship wakes are displayed: Issue 1 - some of the ships have wakes in combination of vertical lines and flickering normal wake: Issue 2 - some of the ships have all wakes vertical: Issue 3 - Some ships are having kind of a normal wake but flickering: And finally I have the ships with normally displayed wakes: All those were spotted offshore Dubai with FlyTampa scenery. I have installed the P3D patch where it was mentioned that it should fix the vertical line is Prepar3D. That is not the case with me unfortunately, as you can see on the images above. I would appreciate any help to resolve the issue. Thanks.

I'm sticking with the good ol' 376.33 The difference between this driver and the new series (380 current), is that this one actually releases unused resources and frees up the VAS... The new drivers just fill the VAS up to the OOM point. For example: FlyTampa EHAM, AS2016 overcast, 100% traffic, A320X - Available VAS around 600MB (close to the red line). After take off about 400-300MB remaining (on flight online I might also get a 250MB alarm). Enroute to EDDF, available VAS increases to 800-900MB. Landing at Aerosoft EDDFv2.01, 500MB remaining. Quick turnaround and flew back to EHAM with the same figures. Same example flight with the PMDG 747v3 - Available VAS at EHAM around 1200MB. Landing at EDDF with 800-900MB to spare. The above flights are impossible with the new drivers, as the VAS will only increase and eventually will OOM either shortly after take off from EHAM (with the A320) or on the approach to EDDF (with the B747v3)....

Able to access the main PMDG web page and managed to reach the 747II p3D product page. When trying to ckick "buy" or "login" the page returns message "connection refused" This site can’t be reachedwww.precisionmanuals.com refused to connect. Search Google for precisionmanuals ProductCart viewPrd ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED Any chance a fancy firewall is blocking me off or something?

Had exactly the same issue as the OP. Fresh P3D V3. Updated NGX installer and fresh install. Half mouse click-spots weren't working. I reinstalled the NGX, reinstalled the Sim-connects (as advised in the read-me file) and started loading the NGX from the launch screen instead of in-sim. The mouse click-spots issue is fixed, another appeared: Upon launching the sim, the NGX loads (20 sec) but when ready the screens and CDU in the VC remain black. If I click on any of the screens a popup appears with the proper information displayed, click back and the screen is black again. By chance figured that if I cycle the views - outside, inside, the screens appear normal. Yes, I know it's not big deal, yet a bit annoying. Any idea how to fix that?

P3D x64 and PMDG B748 v2 are the two things required to bring me back on the virtual routes -_- Looking great that 4 engine beast. Curious about the flight deck.

^ +1 here...

Been fighting OOMs for quite some time (tweaking FSX/NVIDIA variables over and over), until I decided to go the DX10 way (google "Steve DX10 fixer"). It took me short amount of time to properly configure, but once done the OOMs were gone for good. Visuals are equal or better and addon airport issues have been nicely sorted out. Worth to check it out

+1 on the World Cup Emirates.. Shame we'll get it some time after the final whistle but nevertheless it's a nice treat.

Good luck with the surgery Captain! Be sure many people across the globe (whom you haven't even heard of) will keep their fingers crossed for your fast recovery...

I..... must...... have....... :Praying:
