Hi Fritz, Thanks for the info, I will check my FTX Central settings.

Hi Glen, I had this problem. I have Orbix Global, Orbix England, UTLive & and some UK2000 airports (with work arounds to run in P3Dv4). It does seem to be an Orbix problem, as it tries to put all of its scenery at a higher priority than the airports you have, in the scenery library. What was happening at say Gatwick was the UTLive traffic was not lining up right with the taxi lines and as you say traffic taking off and landing on R/W 08L/26R. What you need to do is go into the menu when the sim is running and into "World-Scenery Library" and make sure any "FTX_EU_EG" and "ORBIXOPENLC" (if you have Orbix Global installed) is a lower priority than any airports, same for the Orbix_Libs. The problem also is when you install any new updates from Orbix it puts all their stuff back to high priority again so you have to go in and change it. When I lowered all the orbix files, the UTLive traffic lined up perfect on the taxi lines and no more landing on 08L/26R at Gatwick. Hope this helps.

O.K, thanks Dave for your help. I will try some more language packs to see if there are any desktop voices in them and if there is I will report via the forum.

Thanks,

John. 

Hi Dave, Thanks for the info, and the tutorial, but that's is what I have doing, adding extra language  and speech packs, i.e, English Welsh, English Irish & Australian, but only getting the mobile versions of these voices. Is there a way to find out if a speech pack contains a desktop voice, apart from the Spanish voice.

Thanks,

John. 

Hi Dave and fellow P2A users, I am on the last few days of the trial and will definitely buy when it runs out. I am hoping to add a few more MS voices to give a bit more variety, and I know that Dave said in a post you can download extra language and speech packs, which I have done from within the Windows 10 settings page. So at the moment Windows is showing that I have 8 voices installed, all showing them as "Mobile", which I know are not compatible with P2A, but "David,Hazel & Zira", show up in P2A voices as desktop voices, and they are "Mobile" voices according to MS settings, so I am a little confused. So how do I get more MS voices that will show up as desktop voices for P2A ?. I do intend to get some 3rd party voices at a later stage. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

John.  

Hi, I have downloaded a few liveries and they show up in the aircraft list, but they are under "Boeing 737-800" in the list not "PMDG", they only list their house liveries. Hope this helps.

Hi, I have recently installed "Reshade 3.0.7", and although the presets seem to work o.k, and apart from X-Plane hanging when shutting down when Reshade is installed, not sure if there is a fix for this, the other problem since installing reshade is when I change airports there is no preview of the airport, i.e no graphic of the runways and parking spots, although they are listed in the left panel. When reshade is removed the graphic is back and normal. I am running X-Plane ver.11.01r2.

Thanks,

John.

Hi Kevin, Thanks for all your help, but I have just realised that the static cameras now work in P3Dv4 and the panning in that mode is perfect, so problem sorted. Sorry for taking up your time, and again thanks for your quick reply's and thank you for a brilliant program.

John.

Hi Kevin, Still the same issue in build 118. I have made a short video (avi file) to show you the problem, but not sure how to upload or attach the file to this reply. Please help.

Thanks

John.

Hi, I have an outside view setup that is high above my plane, so I can pan around an airport from a vantage point using my mouse to pan. But when I pan the view tilts (Rolls) the scenery, is there a way to correct this so it will pan level ?. I know the setting in camera settings is only for "Mouse & Tilt" on or off. I am running experimental version 0.2 .108, and P3D v4.

Thanks,

John.

Hi Guys, The same thing happened to me last week, tried to order KCLT and KIAH with paypal, it said "Transaction Pending", so I phoned paypal customer service, and get this, they said because KIAH comes up with the description "George Bush Intercontinental Airport" on the invoice, it throws up a security flag, but I explained it was only software for flightsims, he said he would do something to get the transaction through within a couple of hours. This never happened, and the transaction was cancelled and the funds credited back to my pp account, so I ordered them on a visa cc with no problems. I think Paypal may have their security flags a bit too high.

Hi, As the title says, when I plug in my X52 pro controller the screen starts to flicker, when I unplug the flicker stops. This has only been happening since the last update, I am running version :- 11.01r2 (Build 110102), previous to this update there was no flicker when ever I plugged in the controller. I have sent a bug report to the devs, but not had a reply. Sorry if this topic has already been addressed. Any suggestions would be grateful. Thanks.

Hi, There is a new camera program coming out soon for FSX/P3D called "Chase Plane" by FSFX Packages. You really need to check out "Froogle's" new video on it where he raves about it, and it is only in Pre Alpha !. Already it can do cockpit views and outside views, with static views (like world camera in EZdok) coming soon. The interface is modern and looks very easy to use. They say release is early 2017, but I think they are going to release an open beta next month, check out the FSFX packages site for more info. I will be glad to get rid of EZdok as it has always been clunky and hardly updated, with the latest version of P3D v3.4.9. "World Cameras" don't work because the dev can't be bothered to update a file to make them work. Can't wait to get this new kid on the block and get rid of EZdok forever.

Thanks for looking.

John.

Thanks Guys for your info, looks like I will be getting v3.4.

Thanks Again,

John.

Hi All, Does anyone know or have an idea when P3D v4 is likely to be out, as I am ready to purchase V3.4 but if V4 is imminent I will wait as long as it is not too long. The reason I am asking this is in the past I did purchase V2.5 and not long afterwards it went to V3 and I would have to pay the full purchase price again. I realise you may not have this info for sure but if you think it could be a while before the next version I will go ahead and get V3.4. Thanks for any info/advice in advance.

Hi Tony, I do apologise I should have mentioned in my first post that I had installed "GB PRO" and runs and loads fine. The problems was with the Europe sceneries. However I have been trying the north America scenery, starting with W2XP_US_West which loaded fully, so Installed the other US sceneries, North South etc, which all loaded fully with no problems. I then tried some Europe sceneries and so far have installed W2XP_Europe_2, Europe_3, Europe_4, and although the loading time is around 5 minutes before XP is fully loaded, I don't mind waiting knowing that they do now run. Still not sure why Europe_1 doesn't seem to load, but as you say GB PRO covers nearly all of that.

I want to thank you for all your help and suggestions, it was very much appreciated, and I will be donating to W2XP.

Hi Michael, Just watched your "Welcome to Birmingham" video which was amazing. BTW did you use any AI traffic, and do you know if there is a version of EGBB without the cross runway, which is now taxiway (Tango & Lima).

Cheers,

John.

Hi Tony, I start up at EGBB which loads fully (as all other airports) without the Europe scenery installed. With Europe installed as I said before it only gets as far as "Reading New Scenery Files". When I click the X to close XP it says "X-Plane not responding", and I have to click on a box to close the program. I have tried to paste my log file here but when I right click and bring up the menu, the paste option in greyed out, so this window will not let me paste anything in it, don't know why. Any other options ?.

Thanks,

John.

Hi Tony, Thanks for the reply. I downloaded the World-Models from your web site (World-Models-Master) and replaced it with the one from Simheaven. I also replaced the W2XP_Europe with the smaller file W2XP_Europe_1_West, hoping that would load quicker, but still the same result still only gets to "Loading New Scenery Files" even after 20 minutes. I could post my log file but not sure how on this site.

I would be grateful for any more help.

Thanks,

John.

Hi, I have 16GB of DDR 4 system ram and 4GB of video ram (GTX980). I also have the latest world models installed. I will check my log file and post it here.

Thanks for the reply.

John.

Hi, I am just getting into X-plane, had been using FSX. Anyway I have been trying to improve the default scenery so I download "W2XP_ Europe" scenery from Simheaven, installed it in my "Custom Scenery" folder, installed all the various libraries (R2,FF,world models,openscenery X), made sure W2XP_Europe was in the right order, just below the Airports, in the scenery ini file. Before installing W2XP__Europe, XP would take about 30-45 SECONDS to fully load, with W2XP_Europe, the loading screen in XP gets to saying "Loading New Scenery Files", and that's where it stays, I have left it loading like this for 40 MINUETES and although the hard disk light is flashing, it stll never fully loads, so I have to take out W2XP_Europe, and XP loads normally. Am I doing something wrong ?. BTW, using XP10.42 steam edition.

Thanks,

John.  

Hi, I am about to install P3D 2.5, coming from FSX-SE. I have a reasonable system, X-99 5820@4.3, 980 GPU (EVGA SC), 16 meg DDR4 Memory. Performance on FSX-SE was fairly good, but as I am going over to P3D, which takes advantage of good GPUs, would I see better performance with another 980 in SLI, or swap for a 980ti, (can't afford to buy 2 980ti). I also use the system for other types of sims as well as flight sims and a couple of games. any advice guys, would be appreciated.

Thanks, John.

Hi Brian, Thanks for your comments. I thought I would get more replies but hey-ho, I might post in another section of the forum. I will be migrating over to P3D as soon as Windows 10 is released and fairly stable.

John.

Hi, I have a EVAG 980 GPU (not overclocked) in my system at the moment, along with X99 M/B, 5820 chip (o/c to 4.3) and 16 meg DDR4 Memory. I am thinking of migrating to P3D from FSX-SE, so would P3D take advantage of another 980 in SLI, or would a single 980 ti be better. Would also use the cards for other Sims and games.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John.

Hi Guys, I am also thinking of going over to P3D, I have FSX-SE at the moment, but as "Rich" says P3D will take advantage of a good GPU. I recently got a new system (around 5 months ago), which is X99, 5820 o/c to 4.3, EVAG 980 GPU (not overclocked), 16 meg DDR4 Memory. Performance in FSX-SE is quite good, but if I did migrate to P3D, would I see better performance with the 980, also I am thinking of getting another 980 in SLI, not only for flight sims but to improve other types of sims and games. I did read Nvidia or P3D was bringing out an update to take advantage of SLI, can anyone confirm this ?. The other question (sorry for all the questions) is do I drop the SLI idea and swap the 980 for a 980 ti which I think is around 30% more powerful than the standard 980.

Sorry for the long post, any advice from you guys would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John.

Hi Jude, Yes, installing DX9 does fix the display problem, thanks.
