Hi, can you tell me what the range numbers mean on the stationary camera controls? I read the manual but it just shows the button but doesn't say what it does. Thank you

In my opinion Super Traffic Board is one of the best programs for flight sim. It allows you to follow a plane from gate to gate without touching anything. The developer is quick to respond and offers updates all the time. I would be lost without Super Traffic Board. That being said I have never heard of Ai Tracker but I am trying to contain my excitement because that program looks like active camera which was a very received and sorely missed program from FS9. I am going to purchase it right away because of the camera that follows arrival and departures without touching anything. I will be using Ai tracker for that function but I still think I will use Super Traffic Board for my "flying". Thank you for letting me know about that program.

ok, thanks again.

Thank you, but I have one more question. If I install an add on airport to a folder outside the main folder how does P3D V4 "see" it so it can be used?

So I have been installing P3D V4 compatable sceneries but I have noticed some want to go to the P3D V4 main file. I guess this is ok because I trust those developers but I heard that you should not install to the main folder anymore. Is this going to cause a problem? and should I install to another folder if I have the option? or just let it go where it wants? thanks

So I must have a brain freeze right now but I use super traffic board to watch the ai planes but that view is the ai planes view. I don't see the way to use locked spot view with that program. I think that was an option in FSX but don't know how to use it in P3D V4. I never needed to worry about that before, because everything just worked out of the box. I miss those days (a little).

How about this?

I adjusted everything and turned off the wake setting but the shakes won't go away. I recorded a video in the game but I don't know how to attach it to this post. I really think it would help me to show what is exactly happening. How do you find a recording that you made in the game and how can I attach it to this post?

No, I don't use Ezdok. I use super traffic board for my ai spotting.

Well it figures that it sounded too good to be true. I put the wind turbulence down to 10. It was on 100 which must be default because I didn't touch that until now. So no joy with that, my screen is still shaking like crazy.

So I finally updated to P3D V4 and I have a major recurring problem. The problem started when I updated to P3D v3 not too long ago. What happens is that I have major shakes when I am following an ai plane. These are not stutters or even mico stutters. It looks like someone has literally picked up the computer and shook it like a snow globe. I thought that it might have been just a problem with P3D V3 but was annoyed when it started with P3D V4. I am only using P3D V4 add ons. I have checked with ORBX, Ultimate Traffic live, active sky, and super traffic board and they are all updated to work. I really don't know what to do next and I am hoping someone has this exact problem if only to be able to help. I don't wish this problem on anyone. It doesn't matter where or what time and it only happens when flying, it does not happen on the ground. I have also changed my settings and disabled some of those add ons and it still happens. Thanks

I guess I will wait for Flytampa then. Imaginesim Posted that instructions for simmarket customers is on the airport page but i have checked many times and I don't see anything. I'm with you, I want a dedicated V4 installer because after going through the P3D new version update many times now, I don't want to deal with it.

Curious about this as well. On Imaginesim website it doesn't give any information on updated simmarket purchases. There is no update file to download. I understand if Imaginesim doesn't want to sell on Simmarket but they should not leave out their customers who bought their products not knowing this would happen.

Exactly how does having P3D on it's own SSD or HDD (so confusing) work. Do you mean those little portable hard drive devices. I have never thought of using those because I thought everything had to be on the computer. It would be a lot easier if I could use my portable had drive that is also 1TB. My current gaming computer has 4 partitions and it really stinks because I would rather have 2. With 4 partitions my C drive is 80gb and the others are much bigger. Do you install P3D V4 to the portable hard drive and then plug it in when you want to fly? and where do the add ons go? can you keep them all on the computer and then they automatically can be used in P3D V4?. I just bought P3D V4 but have not install all my add ons yet. Thanks for listening.

I don't really see any difference from V3. I may not understand the technical end, so maybe that's where the improvement is but I don't see much of a difference. I also have to figure out the new structure and update my add ons (again and again and again). The worst thing is that my ai packages don't work either and that's a real let down. I don't think it's worth it to switch, but I did because people are saying that soon the majority of add ons will be only for P3D V4. I also read that the new Flytampa Boston is V4 only. I really feel like I was "forced" into switching by add on developers. Don't hit me, I know I made the decision, but I feel like it should have more visual improvements and features. I would have been happy to just keep V3.

thank you, i will test it first

Can you install add ons to another drive? If my P3D is in the D drive can I install add ons to the F drive or should they still go to the P3D folder in D drive? I only install payware now, lesson learned too many times.

Hey guys, finally jumped on the P3D v4 bandwagon and I have read that (xyz) add on works in P3D V4. But how do I know for sure that it is the truth? Do I have to look for a new V4 file or do I just use the same one I had before in V3? I have decided to only install products that state they are made to work with V4 and not just compatible. That seems like a big difference and I want a fresh install and not have any problems. I just want to make sure that I am doing this the correct way. Thanks P.S. I know some of the heavy hitters have said that their product works in P3D V4 but now I have read to not believe them 100% so I am really confused.

Thanks guys, I'm glad I asked. I am staying with P3D.

Ok guys, I am a longtime user of FSX and now P3D. I have spent tons of money on scenery, utilities, weather engines you name it. I don't ever fly, instead I spot planes and follow them from airport to airport with the my most important add on called super traffic board. With it I can sit back and watch a plane leave from the gate and fly across the world and land at another airport. I love seeing all the planes moving around the airport with ground vehicles and traffic. I know super traffic board does not exist for x-plane but is there something similar that x-plane has that will more or less do the same thing. It's very important to have the right planes at the right airports and the most current liveries for them. Also, is there a list of the detailed airports that are in the release version. I am not against the idea of buying scenery but I am not sure how many I would have to buy to get the level I have now with P3D. I would appreciate any advice because I am pretty sure I am not the only one thinking of switching. Thank you so much.

Does it do this in flight? I have been trying to fix this for months and nothing works. I hope we can both find solutions. It really ruins the flight experience.

I disabled super traffic board, orbx, active sky, and envtex, I viewed aircraft using the built in view ai planes in the P3D and it still shook. It does not happen when I am on the ground. It also still shakes zoomed in or out.

I wish it was that easy. I don't have track IR and I don't use a joystick. This is the follow mode in locked spot view using super traffic board. Do you get any clues from that huge post that I made with my config file?

now, how do i do that, there is no place to add attachments. This really is frustrating. What am i doing wrong?
