I am sure there is some knowledgeable person out there who has come across this before. Chase plane has worked for me for 3 years with only minor problems. Five days ago I started my P3Dv5.4 and loaded the PMDG 747along with all the usual (AS, STB,RC4, GMap) but the preset keys for views did not work. I have had this before and a restart of AS cures it. This time, nothing. I then noticed that the Red/Green indicator was red, meaning no connection, and 2 areas of the menu were greyed out. I had made no changes to my PC. I did all the usual: rebooted PC, restarted P3D, nothing fixed it. Eventually, I raised a ticket, and got prompt help. I did all the suggested things, including excluding files from virus scanners, ensuring programs ran with Admin privileges, still nothing In desperation, I re-installed CP several times and have now reverted Windows to a version that worked a month ago, just in case a rogue update had changed something, and finally I re-installed P3D (Content scenery and Client, in the correct order!) , nothing has corrected the problem. CP support says their code cannot have changed and it is most probably something in my PC that is blocking/interfering. CP is just not connecting to P3D at all. (On the splash screen it says "Connect to P3D to use Chase plane). I don't know what else to do, can anyone help? Ian🙏

P3Dv5.3 with EA - how to remove colour cast?
IanHarrison replied to Ray Proudfoot's topic in The Prepar3d Forum
I tried your setting on my system and this is the result from FL390 over Phoenix, Arizona. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/uini1navic7uowwjlbjz5/Haze-reduction.jpg?rlkey=crjul42tpo8lsf7ezc01j0vpb&dl=0 -
P3Dv5.3 with EA - how to remove colour cast?
IanHarrison replied to Ray Proudfoot's topic in The Prepar3d Forum
Well mine did. It put its own interface into the P3D start up screen and messed up everything. It looked nothing like what you show. Yes, I did download it from the official site. -

Very disappointed in Reshade. Small postage stamp interface in the P3D settings screen, which can't be enlarged to read anything and takes for ever to do apparently nothing, as there is no progress indicator. Will not go down that route. -
Help required - updating m4.csv
IanHarrison replied to Ray Proudfoot's topic in Radar Contact Support Forum
Just curious. Where do you get this updated info? To be honest, I just accept what it gives me. -
Help With Descend Order Prior To Top of Descent
IanHarrison replied to beechcaptain's topic in Radar Contact Support Forum
Well, I suppose in a way it is better to incur Ray's wrath as a controller rather than as a Moderator! -
And you didn't mention Simbrief/Navigraph (also payware), which loads directly into a multitude of options including P3D and PMDG.

Not my experience at all.

This always intrigues me. It implies that in P3D the plane almost flies itself. (Which it would do, if A/P was engaged). Nothing could be further from the truth.

Perhaps he means " implementation of the modelling". To my mind modelling would be the same standard for any platform, surely?

Just to advise that I have purchased a new 1440p monitor. I managed to get a JVC (never knew they made monitors) 27" gaming monitor with DP and HDMI inputs (each one a slightly different maximum refresh rate). A 2022 model, reduced in price to clear. (About US$ 300 roughly converted). I used HDMI and the monitor set itself up to 2560x 1440 and 60Hz. That of course means that with Nvidia CP half refresh, I can get 30 Hz for my P3D sim. Brilliant colours and no flickering. And I can actually read the instruments! Happy days.

My trusty old LG 27" IPS FHD monitor has come to the end of its life and cannot be repaired. I will now have to buy a new one. Ideally, I would like a QHD 27" monitor (my card is a GTX 1080) but looking at prices, they are roughly twice the price of FHD monitors and frankly I don't want to spend extra money that I don't have. I have been quite happy with FHD for the last 6 years, so my question is, what would be the best FHD to buy for Prepar3d, at the budget to mid range level? Brands readily available are Samsung, LG and Dell. Edit: I just found this on special. Dell S2721DS 27" WQHD (2560x1440) 75Hz 4ms IPS AMD FreeSync, any good?
