    If there was a separate serial number for the Universal installer, I cannot find that!   However, I've emailed BIT Micro and gave them my serial number for Las Vegas, and told them of my problem.  Let's see if that helps.

    Assuming there WAS a separate serial number for the Universal installer.

    Hi, Stan. I always save my emails that have serial numbers and activation keys numbers. Just log in to Fly Tampa's site, if you remember your login. if not, they will reactive you by email.

    All of a sudden, my Fly Tampa Las Vegas started showing large barricades throughout the airport and NOTHING I could do was able to correct the problem.  Here's what I tried:

    • Ran configuration elevation program in FTX Central
    • Diabled KLAS in FTX Central elevation
    • Tried to eliminate this scenery in my Scenery Library in P3d, but it was greyed out and couldn't be removed.
    • Checked my Latin VFR folder in P3d and it isn't there.
    • Tried to uninstall the scenery but I can't find a way to do that. It isn't in my control panel list for removal.

    Please tell me how I can remove this scenery so that I can try to reinstall it, OR help me to correct this problem some way.

    Much appreciated.

    Hi, Stan. You need to download the "Universal" installer from the Fly Tampa site.  FlyTampa_Universal_P3D_Setup , that's the name of the file. Maybe uninstall it first, not sure. But that's the file they recommend using for all of you purchases. When I last ran it, it showed everything that I have bought, and options to reinstall. Hope that works!

    Take care,

    Mike

    I meant maybe uninstall KLAS first

    I second the Bonanza. I find the A2A windshield effects far better than trueglass. The experience in VR when raining is very real. Plus A2A and their ACUSIM gives the user the experience of a real aircraft.

    So it has rain effects on the windshield? When I was about 9yrs old, my older brother(private pilot) took me up over Lake George, NY in a rented Bananza !

    Would like to hear more about 3PD involvement. If its being ramped up this much, I would think that they have reached or will be reaching major developers very soon to discuss details

    Me, too. Is P3D going to incorporate any of the new technology from the new MSFS ? or will they in P3D V5? That would be great, unless they are ok with what they have just for training purposes ?

    For me things are quite simple: any sim that doesn't have PMDG Boeings AND FSLabs Airbuses (or their equivalent) is a non-starter for me. If PMDG and FSLabs aren't on board, certainly there are others who are able to create equivalent add-ons, but will there be anyone else who is willing to go through that kind of development cycle? I'm open to being surprised but, in the meantime, I'm really enjoying the variety in my P3D experience like never before.

    I have to agree here. when I think of what I have in P3D V4.5, It's quite a wide range. If I'm in the mood for military missions, I have the Raptor, F-35's F/A 18's, C130's,IRIS A-10 Warthog,etc.. and combined with VRS TacPac for a wide range of weapons that inflict damage, It's amazing. You can drop a variety of carrier config's and tankers for refueling. And for Airliners, I have PMDG 747-8, 777, and 737. I have MCE for Virtual Co-pilot commands, GSX amazing ground operations !! If I'm in the mood for general aviation, (which I do most of the time), I have add on helo's, Turbo props, which I can fly over my favorite add on airports...FLY TAMPA, FSDT, BTW.. FLY TAMPA LAS VEGAS is the most amazing !! I have real time weather (rex SKY FORCE), Old prop precipit FX which enhances rain and snow effects. Not to mention my ORBX airports!! So, I agree about the variety that we currently have. Therefore, we'll have wait and see what Microsoft puts out. Until then, I will probably try it when it's released, open minded, but there's always that "uninstall" option !!

    Take care,

    Mike

    Very kind words, and very true.  Steve has invested countless hours in helping others increase their knowledge level, and I've enjoyed the offline conversations with him very much.  SteveW and Rob Ainscough have earned their place as trusted and knowledgeable mentors in our community and I am fortunate enough to count them amongst my small cadre of close, person friends in our hobby.  I feel insulted for them by comments to the contrary.

    There is always new technology coming our way, and always room for friendly discussion, which leads to enlightenment and increased knowledge.  After all, not one of us here know everything and we all make mistakes. The only unforgivable mistake is to purposely insult another member regardless of their experience or knowledge level.

     

     

    Very well said, Dave! That's perfect !!

    Here's how I fixed the elevation issue. Easy, and all is perfect now:

    Open the FTX Vector Control panel, go to Airport Elevation Corrections and click the Run Auto-Configuration tab. Let it run, takes awhile. Then, open P3D and go to KLAS. Things will be all messed up(elevation). Then, close P3D. Go back to   FTX Vector Control panel, Airport Elevation Corrections, look for KLAS on the "enabled" side(left) then click the DISABLE for that airport.

    Everything is awesome now, what an amazing add on!! Feels like being there!! WOW!!!

    I would say do the upgrades on your system, then move to P3D. Most (90%) off my add on purchases from the FSX days have the P3D install option!! Didn't even realize that when I bought them !! 64bt, performance is great ! No more popping up autogen, Great lighting, plus, at least it's still being upgraded, unlike FSX. You won't look back ! Although I do miss about 5 of the Missions in FSX. Oh well.
