From what I read it appears that the program has not d/loaded correctly. You will have to try again Unless the program d/loads and unzips correctly do not to try and install any parrts manually, ONLY run SETUP as administrator

You only have to uninstall P3D v5.2 and then reinstall with v5.3. Apply updates as required, all available except FSLABS

Hi When loading the flight plan into the 737 FMC what is the difference loading the flight plan using CO ROUTE and FLT PLAN REQUEST? Clive Alexander

As I have had a break from Flight Simulation (P3D) it appears that v5 is still having problems with EA and cloud textures, therefore, is there a definite performance boost using v5 compared to using v4.5 or is any performance boost negligible compared to the excellence of v4.5? Why does LM continue to use v5 with such unrealistic effects when using EA and cloud structures resembling "waffle or pixilated mess"? Clive alexander

I have just watched the video titled UPDATE P3D IN 5 EASY STEPS, by Adam J Pestridge (previously titled UPDATE P3D v5.2 IN 5 EASY STEPS) which contains the P3D logo and therefore gives the impression that it is endorsed by LM I have never experienced "5 Easy Steps" become so confusing, and contradictory. From what I know of this guy's system the process which he goes through is only meant for his glitchy system but he has convinced himself that this is the correct way to do it. The way in which he speaks gives a very good impression that he knows what he is talking about, however, what he does say is confusing, condescending, and contradictory For any new use to P3D I would advise not to follow the advice given by Adam J Pestridge but to read the LM documentation as LM have made the process so easy and straightforward, I have always followed the LM documentation and have never had a problem. Clive Alexander

The reference to V5.2 within the title of the video has now been deleted The title now reads " UPDATE P3D IN 5 EASY STEPS" I was under the impression that LM had made the P3D update process as easy as possible. The P3D logo gives the impression that this video is endorsed by LM Clive Alexander

Regarding the forthcoming Youtube video, I have read the following statement in which he explains why he has made such a video "I’ve never covered the topic of upgrading to the next version so I decided to make one.. as 5.2 is the next version coming in the future, I was thinking this will make it relevant to those in the future when the time comes" His "Delusions of Grandeur" must be accompanied by a crystal ball as such forward, in-depth thinking and in "5 easy steps" to boot, I hope that LM do not change their installation procedure, or else his foresight will all be for nothing What does concern me is that the Youtube video contains the logo of P3D, therefore, new users or users that do not know any better will think that the content of the video is endorsed by LM. As all users are aware LM has made the installation or upgrade procedure for P3D as easy as possible as long as users take the time to read the installation documentation. In my opinion, if any user has difficulty installing or upgrading P3D because they have not read the documentation or do not understand it they should consider if they are capable of using P3D The dislikes count on the video page ( even before it is released) has had to be cleared twice as the amount of dislikes continue to rise, comments have also been removed. Such is the price of fame. I have just observed the P3D logo on his video graphics has been altered the V5.2 has been removed, interesting!!

Please keep in mind that any videos regarding settings in P3D are only a guide and may not work on individual systems as every system is unique, therefore, you have to adjust the settings to suit your system. Adam J Pestridge does make this clear in his youtube videos

Correct but be prepared that if anyone complains that his advice has made their system worse he will say that the person has not followed his advice correctly. In some instances this maybe correct but in other instances his advice is wrong or self opinionated, which includes accusing developers of not knowing what they are doing with their own software Example DXGI ERROR SOLVED (100% GUARANTEED) False and Misleading

He only rants and raves when other users try to assist or advise him as he always knows better, it is the other users that are wrong or the software is not working correctly "A bad workman always blames his tools"

Hello For any users considering "Rolling Back" Nvidea drivers, please read the documentation as Nvidea advises against this process "To reinstall a previous or older NVIDIA graphics driver, do not use the Windows rollback feature. This method will not reliably restore all the previous driver files. Instead, use the Windows Add and Remove programs to remove the current driver, and then install the older driver using setup.exe" Clive alexander

Hi Where can I accees the files to d/load the Africa Scenery files Clive Alexander

Good News. I have it working..what did I do different? I re-installed FSUIPC (selecting V4 & V5 shared installation). I deselected the XML method. (FSUIPC installation is inside P3D v4 Modules folder) I then re-installed the aircraft module using the Import option with LINDA maintenance. Trying to understand what I have done I think I have resolved the problem by installing as a dual installation instead of two seperate installations in which P3D v5 uses and XML method....I think..ha..ha Clive

Hi FSUIPC6 (latest 6.0.10) and LINDA 3.2.5 installed in /documents/prepa3d v5 add-ons/fsuipc6 When I call up the main LINDA panel "Everthing is OK" in all areas The aircraft module is selected and synced to the sim The problem I have I am unable to get any switches on my Hotas Warthog throttle unit to operate when I assign them to the specific commands (eg NGX YawDamper) Please will you advise and assist further..thanks Clive I am sending the following files to the email address Linda @ awginfosys.net Fsuipc6 Linda2 Config-hid

Hello I am attempting to install LINDA for use with P3Dv5 with the NGXu aircraft. Is there any specific module for the NGXu in V5 or is v1.4 current? Presently, I have P3D v4 and v5 installed, I am able to use the modules in V4 but not V5 I have the current version of LINDA and FSUIPC installed and when LINDA starts all checks out OK

Hello At the moment I use ActiveSky. I have become aware of FSGRW and received very good comments and reviews about he software. I am now interested in purchasing FSGRW. I have P3Dv4.5 and V5 installed and wish to use FSGRW in both versions. In order to purchase FSGRW for both versions would I be correct to purchase FSGRW for P3Dv4.5 direct from the PILOTS website and then upgrade within my account for use with P3Dv5 rather than purchase via Simmarket.? Clive Alexander

Hello I have the PMDG 737NG and NGXu. I have FS2crew for the NGX, will I require the NGXu version for the 737NGXu and if so will I be entitled to any discount? Clive Alexander

Hello You have to see it to believe it. I have watched a live stream on YOUTUBE by Adam J Pestridge who claims that he has found a "secret glitch" within P3D v5. What he did on live stream was to exchange the P3D.CFG files between V4 and V5. The "Secret Glitch" was that it doubled the FPS from 30 to 60 and he even commented "I wonder if Lockheed Martin are aware of this" Such actions should not be allowed on live stream Clive Alexander

Hello Please would someone inform me if TrueSky in P3D v5 has a intregrated weather engine to generate live weather whilst flying? Clive Alexander

Therefore if Rex Simulations amend Skyforce for V5 I can turn of Truesky and use Skyforce Clive

Thanks may I enquire further: If Enhanced Atmospherics is unchecked, does that turn off Truesky, leaving default sky or is Enhanced Atmospherics only a setting for Enhanced TrueSky? Clive Alexander

Hi Is TrueSky the default weather software on V5 or can it be turned of to have default clouds? Clive Alexander

I am trying to locate the system requirements for V5 on the P3D site but only system requirements for V3 & 4 are listed Clive Alexander

I was hoping that that P3D v5, would put the cat amongst the pigeons in relation to MSFS2020 but on initial look at the article and changelog for P3D v5 the pigeons will not be to worried. The promotional video very poor, can you really class that as a promotional video? The main updates are the introduction of DirectX 12, realistic sky using "Truesky" and updated global terrain. The changelog is comprehensive which includes welcome features but not awe-inspiring. With the introduction of "Truesky" and updated global terrain would this compliment existing products such as ActiveSky, SkyForce and Orbx Global or would these products not be required?. In my opinion, despite the introduction of DirectX 12, P3D v5 will appeal more to new users as it will look much better straight out of the box without having to buy and install addons. I was hoping that P3D v5 would sway my mind not to consider MSFS2020 but at the moment I think I will stay with P3D v4.5 and wait for the release of MSFS2020. I am dissapointed Clive Alexander
