    I do not have FSX installed just a clean version of P3Dv3. I try to run the UT2 installer by adding a dummy FSX.exe file in main sim folder C:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 and then pointing the installer accordingly but I get an error message saying the path is invalid. Is it possible to get UT2 installed without FSX and the migration tool?

    I will try the Win 10 approach to calibrate as posted by Rick. I never was sure what FSUIPC was all about? After all the sim runs fine without it. I know there is paid and unpaid version but not quite sure what the advantages are with a paid version of FSUIPC. Is it really worth it?

    P3Dv3 recognizes my CH Eclipse Yoke but when I installed the latest CH Products software manager I lost my connectivity with the sim? P3Dv3 did not recognize the yoke in the pull down menu and so I uninstalled the software and got my yoke to work with P3Dv3 again simply plug and play style. The only thing is I have no way to calibrate the yoke. Is there any way to calibrate this yoke without the CH products software manager program?

    How are repaints manually added in P3Dv3? I am able to copy over the TEXTURE file to the appropriate Simobjects/Airplane folder but unable to modify the corresponding root aircraft.cfg file?

    Ok got it working. Thanks for the help folks!
  7. Piper9t3
    Exactly which files are you referring to? There are various simmconnect files with various file extensions.

    Just installed P3Dv3 and need help connecting TrackIR5. I have installed the latest version 5.2.200 but when I start up P3Dv3 there is no head tracking in the sim? It works in the Naturalpoint UI but non-responsive in P3Dv3. I have read about installing the SDK which I have done but not sure exactly what needs to be done with the SDK files to get TrackIR working. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

    Thanks for posting. I was really hoping to hear back from anyone actually using the Fury X with P3Dv3....seems like there aren't too many simmers out there at the moment with this GPU ( or any AMD GPU's for that matter! )

    I have been following the AMD driver issue over at the LM forum. There is a workaround fix currently in place and confidence that LM and AMD will correct the problem soon. Seen Fury X demo at my local computer shop delivering stunning crisp 4K resolution and drooling at the thought of having this kinda display for my flight simulator!

    Hello I am poised to move to P3Dv3 and looking to upgrade my GPU to AMD's Radeon Fury X. Is there anyone out there using this GPU with P3Dv3 that can share their experience? Really not interested in hearing "get a 980Ti" just wanna hear back from the community on how this specific card performs with P3Dv3. Much appreciated !

    Can anyone advise if scenery from developer LLH Creations is compatible with P3Dv2.4? Their scenery is only advertised for FSX on their website. Thanks

    Ok I pre-programed a flight plan in the GTN750 and the PA32 followed the magenta line in NAV mode as expected. The problem I had earlier happened when I had inserted a Direct To waypoint and seemed like the AP could not capture the magenta path. Strange.

    Just purchased and really liking this bird especially as it comes equipped with GTN750 integration. Simple question here...I can't get the AP to follow the magenta line!! Tracking in heading mode is ok but when I switch to NAV mode on the AP the PA32 seems to aimlessly turn in circles?? Yes I have GPS enabled on the GTN750 as the source for the HSI but for some reason it does not follow the magenta line?

    Got the GTN 750 fitted in the PC12 VC ok. However, when I load up the PC12 in the cold & dark state (using the Carenado menu) after engine start up I turn on the avionics switches and the GTN 750 turns on but is not displayed in the VC? I can left click the bezel to get the pop-up view ok but it does not display in the VC. If I select the Ready for Taxi option in the Carenado menu the GTN 750 is displayed in the VC but I prefer cold & dark start ups. Anybody else experience this? Any ideas how to fix? Thanks!

    Nice pic. I really like the waves. I am running P3Dv2.4 with REX/Opus and cant get nice looking wave animations. Any specific water settings used in your pic?

    Ok confirmed I have SP1 installed (strobe button lights up). Bert's AP mods implemented. Is there any thing else to consider ?
  19. Piper9t3
    Folks I need some clarification please. I purchased the PC12 today from Carenado site so I presume my download includes the SP1 even though my account info shows an upgrade is available? I have been reading about all the community mods and not quite sure if I need them if I got SP1 installed? Is it better to run the RTM version and manually apply the community mods or do you still need the community mods even with SP1 installed? Any guidance would be much appreciated!

    Hi Jim This is my case where i did not delete the manually modified cloud.fx file in 2.3. Now that I am patched to 2.4, can i delete the cloud.fx file and re-apply the patch over an existing 2.4 version or do i need to revert back to 2.3 before applying the patch? Thanks!
  21. Piper9t3
    If that was the case then Rob would of included this in the instructions. I patched no problem by following the instructions. I notice the cloud.fx file was not reset to default with the patch process...are we to manually edit it back to default? The only thing not working in 2.4 is my F1 GTN750 gauge. Off to the F1 forum...

    I have been using Navigraph for my navdata and very pleased. With the annual subscription and their cloud service you have access to worldwide charts which I think is more cost effective than individually purchasing the charts.

    Rob Unfortunately the scenery does not come with any configurator so I will need to tweak down settings if planning a flight to EGLL. I wonder if I disable FTX England and just stick with FTX Global should save me heaps of VAS no? Will try this out and see what happens. Either way, this place is unflyable without reducing addons and sliders as far as I am concerned.
  24. Piper9t3
    Just complete the test exactly per Rob's instructions. I am using Process Explorer to measure VAS. I have disabled all AI traffic, disabled weather engine, set clear skies and my results are as follows: VAS without EGLL Xtended = 2.807GB VAS with EGLL Xtended = 3.179GB VAS Increase = 0.372GB or 372MB Test was done using the Majestic Q400 version 1.011. I also have all the Orbx scenery enabled during the test (ie. FTX Global/England Hybrid Mode, Vector, OpenLC).

    Hi Rob I will try this out and see what kind of VAS differential I get. Based on above results, 500mb seems like quite a hit on VAS memory just for one airport.
