Someone else having or had the issue with DD Leipzig that the ground textures of the surrounding airport are not loading or loading very slow. Rest of the world and airports are fine also the scenery itself is good. So no problems with the terminal or the apron. Its only the surrounding. Its green (as on the photo) and then it instantly appears as normal and that continues till you have passed the whole airport. You can see the area not covered by the scenery is sharp and good but the airport is not while the ground layout is fine.

I thinking about throttle to better use on my airplanes. Using the build in throttle in my old Saitek Joystick is not that good for planes without auto throttle. Sadly the Honeycomb is a bit too big, their Tango Foxtrott is not processing and no news on it (llok on the FSElite link). So I watched some videos and tests on the Thrustmaster Airbus set. I fly Airbus but also 777 and had the Majestic Dash in use. Is it possible to use it with the non airbus style aircrafts? If I saw it right the detents are possible to disable and so use it with other aircraft. But the flaps are not for that? So would it make sense to buy only the throttle and not the other pack? I'm currently having flaps on my Saitek and it works well. Would appreciate any feedback :)

After some further testing it seems the main problem is caused by the option "amortize clouds" which is marked as experimental. To be hones I don't know really what it does but after unchecking it it was mainly sovled. Some small things are left but thats all. I think the rest is like @blaunarwal said with panning and my older screen which will be replaced. But with the EA on and so and all settings on a higher level I still find the clouds looking quite like toys or like drawn. Not as good as they could be. Also I have the problem with ActiveSky that the weather is for example bad on departure, then on FL200 it changes to sunny and 50nm later suddenly to cloudy. And when looking behind me all is sunny and not like real life. Is there a way to change that somewhere? So it is more real? I have resources left when looking on my frames if that is relevant.

Thanks Dan for that hint. Now I firted the sim up and got on my testposition like on the last shot. But this time it was okay without a change. I then tested some other sun positions but still nothing. I mean that is maybe a good thing, Then I wanted to test frames with the PMDG 777ER and the cam for taxi. Loaded and chosen the cam, frames dropped around 7-9fps. Still 35fps. But I noticed the following as on the picutre, Only when in VC. Outside was all fine. When turning off cam it suddenly is all normal. Like using a switch. No loading screen nothing. Never had this with Nvidia before. But I have same as on the pic below when moving the camera around. Maybe its I'm using a 24" screen which is also a bit older but all new ones are having such big racks not matching my table 😕 To be honest I wanted to have a Nvidia too. I planned for a 3070 (TI) but then the price for the 6800 Red Devil came up so cheap and it has more VRAM. In all the 6800 doing good frames and in other games too.

Hello, I'm quite happy with the graphics due to my new system and in some tests it runs very good with 30-50fps stable. Even with higher settings. So far so good. But I noticed some vertical lines when moving around. Sadly not able to take a screenshot. But what I also saw is some typical line flickering. I think its maybe with shadows but I tried some settings and could not find a solution. I also noticed that on a clean system only with a 777 or default. Its also not releated to the airport as it also occurs on the air. Using a AMD 6800 video card and also tried some Radeon settings without success. You can see the problem around the windows and the terminal/tower. This is annoying and destroys the good system to be honest. I do not have this on other games like MSFS or RDR2

Hey guys, it seems I'm not that lucky with the new system. I got my new PC and of course installed v5. After the basic things like SODE and PMDG777+737 and FreeMeshX I now installed the first scenery for test. First it was FlyTampa Boston. Then it crashes after I select KBOS and Okay. No error in event viewer. Deleted KBOS and installed Gaya LOWW and the same problem. When starting then P3D again it shows a quick loading screen where it says generating scenery database files. Only the basic airport works set as default from P3D. It seems the selection is in general not possible. When selecting the airport ingame it also crashes. Still no event viewer error Even when using the location mover it crashes after clicking okay. EDIT: Tried a repair of P3D but no success

I upgraded to v5 today after I got my complete new PC build. So I also installed the Lorby Addon Manager and on the first run I got the warning Ivalid or broken package - Visual FX Tools and Traffic Toolbox - missing addon.xml I recognized that these both tools are sitting under the Settings - Addons tab. They seems to be from Lockheed direct but never heard. Can I deactive the addons to use the addon manager without the warning? Or is there a corrupted install?

After some further searching I've found a build with Alder Lake. The video card is good enough I think and a 3080 is 500-800 bucks more and don't even think of a 3090. Good the CPU is quite stable. The video and RAM are upgradable in the future if its really needed.

I using currently a around 8 year old PC only with some parts upgraded. The current specs are listet below. But I want a new one which can run flight sim better and with better graphic and frames. Currently at most situations I'm stable of course. But when flying with FSLabs into Amsterdam,Frankfurt etc then it gets worse. Not to mention special addons know been very frames hungry like Gaya Sim etc. I already looked at some points, currently I'm waiting for the new Alder Lake Intel CPU to be released to see prices and value. GPU will be a RTX3080 or a AMD 6800XT better? Any other ideas? RAM will be 32GB for start and later maybe more, SSD is 1TB primary for flightsim and a second one for OS+personal stuff+Lightroom+Photoshop Would look like this: https://mad-gaming.shop/konfigurierbare-pcs/361/intel-gaming-stage-5.1?dvsnConfiguratorKey=98bf48ea368005a7&number=SW10355 Current System Specs:

Hey guys, after the release of the sharklets by FSL I was happy to have a EFB. But on tests it crashs or better simply closes. Sometimes it says "P3Dv4 need to close there was a problem searching for windows solution" and sometimes simply nothing. Below I copy you the crash log but I saw ucrtbase.dll and error code c0000409. I updated Visual Studio and run sfc /scannow (from a command prompt). No result. The thing is that it seems all rest is working good also the FSL normal airbus is flying and doing good and a small flight. Also PMDG and standard planes. When removing the sharklets also it works fine. So the problem is with the sharklets. I read some reports with v5 but they did not help me as I'm using v4.5. I also have not installed anything as I was longer time not home and came back after the release. So the "test" of the airbus was the first thing after some month. Crash log:

I found that it seems the problem is inside %PROGRAMDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 . After removing this folder (as suggested in P3D guide) it worked. It seems it is the dll.xml file causing the not starting. I tested and deleted only that file at the end and then it worked. But inside there are only 4 entries by PMDG, RAAS, PMDG HUD. I checked the files linked to the entry and they all exist. Deleting RAAS PRO entry solved the problem. Don't know why, maybe its I have not an Aerosoft airbus installed nor I own the full RAAS version. Maybe its a leftover from my previous Aerosoft airbus version and as I do not fly the A330 at the moment I removed them. Let's see if I can do a flight tomorrow

Not so far I can see. I'm also wondering while its in the task manager still displayed as running and active and also CPU and GPU values are changing. For me that would indicate it still works. But before that day I always had the P3D screen. Sometimes it took 10-15 to load whole P3D, okay. But now it disappears and is only able to exit via the taskmanager. I also tried reboot of my PC and deleting the shader chache and a clean and new P3D.cfg. I'm also running it as Admin just for info.

I made my last flight maybe two weeks ago and today after some night shifts I thought flying again to relax and fly thorugh the fog as we have in real life too. But P3D is starting, you see for around 1min the P3D screen. Then EZCA v2 comes in and in Win10 taskbar the micro icon appears. Suddenly the P3D screen disappears and thats all. Even after 30min nothing happens. In taskmanager it says it's still running using around 25-32% CPU and 666,2MB RAM.GPU is used with 1-3%. Except RAM all values are varying a bit. I did not install something new as I wanted to fly the leg back I flew two weeks ago.

Today I reinstalled the Airbus as I suggested the problem to be there. All other planes where fine so far and did not have problems even on longer tours. Done once again the same flight from Vagar to Keflavik with a fresh FSL and no liveries and extra sounds like cabin. It once again crashed this time around 15min prior approach.

I made some flights today on the same route and without changing settings inside P3D. Scenery and also running tools where exactly the same. Also IVAO was used with the same software. Even weather was nearly the same with clouds layers. But this time I used instead of FS Labs the Aerosoft ones and had no problems. Also on a flight with PMDG NGXu from BIKF to BIAR no problems and no crashs or freezes. So I think the problem is for sure with FSlabs 😞 But no sure whats the problem that it causes these crashs

I now tried some things like updating the visual studios and also flying without IVAO. Always the same and I guess it has something to do with FSL Airbus thing. I'm currently thinking about removing P3D and installing completly new instead of updating since version 4.0. Maybe this can help a bit. And when Corona disese finished and I pass my exams on work I may buy a new PC and upgrade to Windows 10. But putting all things over is lots of work. And not sure if this will kill the problem for me 😞 And also wanted to wait for v5 or MS Flight but no real news for that and if it's worth waiting

Sorry for late reply. I done now 1 short flight from LOWW to LOWI and right now EDDM to LPMA. The short flight was very good and no problems. But again on the flight to LPMA it crashed after around 1,5hrs. Of course I updated the Visuals C++ to the latest version available a few days ago and also the FSLabs is the latest version. P3D is also latest one available. While the crash happend the only programs running where P3D, Active Sky, IVAO client, PFPX, FireFox. While the crash happend I was not at the PC for at least 5min. So it seems longer flights through Europe are not possible with the FSLabs 😞 As described earlier with a PMDG777 on a Long Haul I did not had any problems. Below the crash report

I just had a flight through Europe with FSLabs Airbus and after around 1,5hrs in the air and not doing something at the PC it simply crashed. No warning just the crash. After that I loaded the save file again and all good. But after another 40min its the same crash again. All enroute 😞 Done recently a flight from KSFO to EDDF with B772 by PMDG and all was good. Tested the new QW787-10 at EDDF yesterday evening with a small flight around and got a blue screen. Even with 16GB of RAM installed. I used the program called app crasher to see what the log says but it's not that clear for me. Below in the spoiler there is the log.

Hello, could you also may paint other European and maybe a german Falcon? So we can use it to "simulate" more buisness operations as I'm not the one flying with military ones around. Thanks

For the interior this topic has helped me: https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/127710-two-clicks-from-making-your-sim-look-a-lot-better/ But now I'm still having the problem that the landing lights not illuminate the ground. Only when I turn on Dynamic lightning within P3D then it worked. But before v4.4 it also worked without DL. I'm afraid that DL will kill my flights due VAS or graphic problems 😕

Hey mates, is it normal that when all lights are off (cold&dark) nearly nothing is visible in the cockpit and outside? The first 2 photos show the plane after cold and dark state insert. The third one is with external lights on and dome light on. The first ones are so dark that you not able to find any knob. Also it seems that landing/taxi lights do not illuminate the ground. I also checked that on a PMDG 777 and its the same there. Strange thing for me as I never had that before in my mind. System: P3D v4.4 Windows 7 x64 GTX 980 TI (one of the latest drivers installed)

I'm not using Milviz. I will now update P3D to 4.4 and see whats happening when doing a flight agai

I already looked into Windows event viewer but there was nothing. I looked only minutes after the crash into the event viewer. My system should be good enough for normal flights as I didn't change the settings or the hardware. Windows 7 Intel i5 4670K 4,20Ghz GTX 980 TI MSI Z87-G45 4x 4GB of DDR3 RAM I also did not update any BIOS or video driver during the last years as that all runs good so far. This thing is really annoying as I don't know why. If it was memory I would may buy new one. If it's something else I could try to solve it. But its frustrating.

First I wish everyone Merry Christmas and some nice free days 🙂 I wanted to enjoy these days with some flying in P3D v4.3. But I had some sudden crashes without a warning or a message. That is my main problem that I can not get the problem behind. Today I selected my flight with Majestic Dash 8 at Toronto City (CanadaSim Scenery), Active Sky weather. Nothing else used. But after loading the sim simply crashes/quits. No message or something else. I had that also inflight with QW 787. Suddenly during inflight the sim quits. I'm using normal sceneries and also AS+Cloud Art, ReShade by crosire, Envtex+Envshade and that should be all as far as I can remember

Yesterday night I wanted to make a flight from EGKK to KSEA with Norwegian B789. I had the latest update applied via their updater "version to version". Did not make a full install, maybe a good idea? But I had many problems in the flight, and after around 4hrs the sim crashed. So I had no intention to once again restart everything. My problems where the following: performance is changing, even with a GTX 980 TI and refresh rate set so 11 by default I always have more or less good frames airport charts on ND display are not present since the first update. I have at no airport these even after new install crash during departure (I used a tool to get the correct time at the airport but it crashs, maybe not the fault of QW) is not able to follow a VNAV path according to the SID limitations, in EGKK you first go on 5000ft and then later onto 6000ft. I goes up to 6000ft straight. In FMC its correct displayed after 4hrs crash with "prepar3d.exe got a problem and has to be quit" In general a nice plane but with these crashes and faults flying online is a mess. I thought there was a kind of crash reporter build into QW787? But I could not find it in the manual?
