  1. SimMarket has what you want.
  2. Is LittleNavMap not compiled for P3Dv5 which is 64 bit? I only see a 32 bit version for download. Please advise. And NO. I will not switch to MSFS. They screwed us once before years ago. My money is tied up in P3D which by the way is a real simulator. MSFS is considered a game.

  4. I am assuming you have P3D installed on an SSD. (according to what you said), now go into the folder where your C:\user\appdata\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\pREPAR3dV2\ and delete the file named Prepar3D.CFG. Once you do this. Shut down your computer. (It clears memory), reboot, then start P3D. Look at what you have. See if it looks better. If not let me know.
  5. You know something? Its amazing how people can say my stuff used to look good but something is wrong. They don't tell you about their system. You have to ask. Then when you get a partial description of their machine they still say they don't understand. They do this without regard to the program requirements that are established by Lockheed Martin. If you will carefully look at ALL the requirements and recommendations set by Lockheed Martin you will see that YOU should be using a Solid State Drive (SSD). They specifically say this. And now that you find out you want to say well it used to work before? Luck was with you my friend. For years I flew with two to three Western Digital Velociraptor hard drives. 10,000 RPMs a piece. delivered great great graphics for my scenery. But when I started using P3D I had the same problems you are mentioning and came to the conclusion that I must comply with the manufacturers recommendations. P3D is not FSX. It is similar and for the most part made from the same people that made FSX and FS9 and so on and so on....... They now work in a place that gives them the green light to make flight simulation all it can be FOR TRAINING purposes. They know that people aren't doing that but they have to stick to a set of values that makes their product more than Microsoft could ever be. My suggestion is buy yourself a SSD, Install your P3D and if you will check, you will see that Lockheed even gives you changes that can be made to your configuration file to help you get what your supposed too. Microsoft never did that. I guess what I am trying to say is, before you try and troubleshoot a problem. Make sure you are in compliance with the manufacturers recommendations and requirements. You then have a starting point. Then you can apply the manufacturers recommendations. I can fix your problem. But you wouldn't like the method in which I would get you flying with what YOU want to see. Learn, Read, keep notes. Save files and LOOK at the requirements. Then if you have a problem, you can state your problem, state what you are using for a system and get answers that will not just pacify you but give you the Flight Sim that you want. Have a nice day.
  6. If the scenery is not compatable with P3Dv2 then the blurries will NOT go away. P3D does not have the same "engine" driving it as FSX. P3D is backwards compatable and that is why the scenery even loads up for you. But how it is displayed is another matter. Are you using DX11? Are you running an SSHD? These are just a couple of the things that Lockheed says on their website that you must have for good graphic display. Running DX9 scenery on a DX11 card will not give you good graphics. Many people purchase P3D thinking its new and will display wonderful graphics for me. Then they find out there are a few requirements that have to be satisfied for great, even stupendous graffics. I would venture to say your running old DX9 type of computer equipment.
  7. Point release? We disabled it in 1.x? Don't understand that reply. I waited for the transparent atc window in v2.2. It was not addressed. People do not want to disable the ATC window. They just want it to be transparent as in MS version of flight simulator. It is hard to be training students night flying procedures and a sharp white popup windows covers gauges and destroys any night vision they may have adjusted too. Simulating ATC is a must for student pilots. So the feature is valuable. I just don't understand why the Prepar3D developers and engineers will not address this training problem. As I understand things, the ACES team now work for or with Lockheed-Martin for Prepar3D. If they developed FS9, FSX or any other MS simulator why can't they use that knowledge and apply it to P3D? I just get grumpy when I see so many posts in the forums (especially P3D) about this problem and it is not addressed. And some wise &@($* made a statement to buy another monitor and run the atc on that monitor. Its just unbelievable.
  8. If you are running two monitors from the same video card then you must run FSX in windowed mode.
  9. Matt;you need to open your Microsoft Flight Simulator X/Sounds/ATC folder and see if the file USEnglishBig.gvp is there or not. That is where the ATC voice are. Sometimes addons will modify or delete it when you install the addon. For example: The software for Mexico Aeroports will install Spanish voicepak in place of English. You need to make sure you have the file USEnglishBig.gvp backed up somewhere so that when the addons screw it up you can put it back in place.Anyway, that is the file. Hope this helped you out.SteveMatt;you need to open your Microsoft Flight Simulator X/Sounds/ATC folder and see if the file USEnglishBig.gvp is there or not. That is where the ATC voice are.
