I respect your opinion, but you are completely wrong my friend.P3d lights with or without orbx is a piece of sh**t.The lighting in xplane is just awesome.

As far as i know, the turboprops are properly modeled in xplane.What limitations are you talking about? regards

Hi stphen i use the latest beta of opusfsi with P3d v3.1 and i noticed that i when in cruise altitude with my Pmdg Ngx, the visibility is always low.I was told in facebook post to disable the volumetric fog in p3d to get normal visibilty.I have both option enabled in p3d and opusfsi.Can you plz tell me what is going on, i don't want to lose the volumetric fog option, because it adds a lot of immersion to my flight sim. Best regards kais

Hi stephen i'm wondering if you plan to support x-plane in the future version.I love opusfsi and i'd love to see these wonderful features in xplane. Best regards kais

hi stephen Since my last message, i didnt had a problem with opusfsi pdk dll, today i installed the last beta and i have this message, when i fire up p3d. OpusPDK.dll out of date The opuspdk library in you p3d modules folder is not fully compatible with the current opusFsi version.please refer to the opuspdk_setup.txt in your opusfsi folder or the opuspdk setup guide in the configure dialog for instructions. what i did i removed the opuspdk.dll from the modules directory, uninstalled opusfsi, reinstalled it , i checked my modules folder and find the opuspdk.dll there ,but when i start opusfsi i have the same message. here my dll.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>dll.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad> <Launch.Addon> <Name>ObjectFlow</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>J:\P3D\ORBX\FTX_AU\FTXAA_ORBXLIBS\Scenery\ObjectFlow_P3D.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>OpusPDK</Name> <DLLType>PDK</DLLType> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>Modules\OpusPDK.DLL</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>PMDG HUD interface</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>PMDG\DLLs\PMDG_HUD_interface.dll</Path> <DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName> <DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>carenavigraph</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>.\carenavigraph.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>CMeteoXml</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>.\CMeteoXml.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>PMDG Interface</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>PMDG\DLLs\PMDG_Interface.dll</Path> <DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName> <DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>RAASPRO</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>.\RAASPRO\RAASPRO.dll</Path> <DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName> <DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>FSUIPC 4</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>VistaMare Core</Name> <Disabled>True</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>VistaMare\ViMaCoreX.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> this problem is getting me crazy thanks in advance stephen

working fine for you? thanks in adavance

Hi stephen i fixed the problem by deleting prepar3d.cfg file and regenerating it.I don't know what wrong with the old file, but now opusfsi is controlling p3d cameras. thanks again stephen

Hi stephen i installed OpusFSI Release Version 4.48.7 and i have a little problem with the camera module, the weather engine is working fine.When i start opusfsi, i cant control the camera and the dhm is no longer working. after hours of troubelshooting, i desactivated the p3d PDK module and everything went back and opusfsi is controling p3d cameras systems. I dont undestand why because have the enty set up correctly in dll.xml and i have OpusPDK.dll is in my modules folder.i unistalled opusfsi and simconnect and reinstalled them,but didnt solve the problem. can you help me please to fix this problem stephen. thx in advance kais

i'll check this out Thanks again Stephen for you excellent support, opus fsi the best weather engine ever.

its my pleasure Stephen is it possible to have a summary of the flight like the information bellow on weather report? average cruise wind average headwind component average trip temperature average trip temp isa dev average cruise temperature average cruise temp isa dev thx again for your support

This topic is a big thanks to sheryl and stephen for their great work on opusfsi. i have been away since a few months and the last version i installed on my computer was 4.10 and today i installed the last version and i was amazed of the clouds depiction and clouds layers.It's truly amazing.( i have tried Active sky next and fsgrw and none equals opus fsi). i have a little request: in active sky next there is an option to hide the aircraft when entring in the clouds, is it possible to implement this option in opus? apart from that every thing looks good so far. thanks for this master piece guys

hi i use OpusFSI 4.40 in default update mode. the strange thing when i update for the first time the dhm is disabled, but if i update for the second time the dhm is back on. thx

hi stephen i had a problem: when i update weather the dhm stops working and stay like that until i resart fsiserver. can you fix this problem? thanks in advance

Thx a 1000 times dheyer I switched completely over to world virtual airlines.
