This issue has been resolved for me - pls go here to see the thread. https://forum.simflight.com/topic/91340-p2a-ptt-not-connecting/

I had to reload P2A on a new drive due to a crash. Previously I had PTT networked and it was working. I am now on P3d V4.5 and FSUIPC6. Following the directions in the user manual in the Docs folder (which I believe was the same procedure I followed previously) I set up FSUIPC6 on the SIM machine - set up a button on my Yoke for KEYSEND 1-255 (WideFS) 1/2 w/ 'Select for FS Control' ticked. I inserted text in the WideClient.ini file under 'Users' on the P2ATC computer. KeySend1=123,16 ; Click F12 KeySend2=123,24 ; Release F12 UseSendInput=Yes Then set the F12 button as the default PTT Hot Key in P2A in the Conifg page. No luck. W/ the recent discussion in this thread about other software I'm thinking maybe this newer version of FSUIPC (the User Guide notes FSUIPC4) no longer supports the networked PTT function for P2A. Note - P2A does connect to the P3D so I know WideClient (which is also connected) is functioning for that part of the process. Do I need to purchase a program such as Multiplicity - maybe there is another program others have tried? Is see a user wrote a program for X-Plane, does anyone know if that exits for P3D V.4 or V5? Thank you! Edit - I have confirmed that I have a registered version of both FSUIPC and WideClient. All other functions of P2A work w/ networked sim. The FSUIPC6.ini file has the following code on the SIM computer: 11=P0,0,C1006,1 -{KEYSEND 1 for WideFS}- 12=U0,0,C1006,2 -{KEYSEND 2 for WideFS}- Here's how it looks in the WideClient.ini on the P2A computer. [User] Log=Errors+ KeySend1=123,16 ; Click F12 KeySend2=123,24 ; Release F12 UseSendInput=Yes Note - when I push F12 on my P2A keyboard the PTT button illuminates. Chuck

Does anyone out there have a sense if V3 will help those of us who suffer from stutters and microstutters? Thanks!

Thank you for taking time on this - sorry for the delay...work keeps getting in the way of my hobby!! Here are specs of my system/software (I should have done this upfront): Hardware: Intel Core i7 4770KQuad Core, 4.4GHz Overclock, 16GB Trident x DDR3 SDRAM 2133 MHz, Nvidia Geforce GTX 770 - 2GB, Asus Z87 Maximus VI Hero Mother Board, 2x's 2TB Seagate 7200 RPM SATA, 3x's Asus Monitors, Winodws 7, Joystick/Yoke - Jetmax, Rudder Pedals - Saitek, Flight Deck Solutions CDU. Software: P3D V2.4 FS Global 2010 The Americas FTX Global FTX Vector REX Texture Direct Active Sky Next - P3D Addons - Orix/FlyTampa/Flight Beam/FSDT Right now the only problem I have is this lighting issue - but I have just recently moved to P3D so I don't have a lot of time in the software. I should have some more time tonight and I will try and post some images, but right now I am unable to see the ALS strobe landing lights at any airport (addon or not) that I have checked. More to come - thanks.

I assumed I should start asking this question on the P3D forum, but have not had any luck w/ any sort of response. I have always found this group to be knowledgeable and helpful. When I fly at night in P3D V.4 I am unable to see the ALS strobe landing light system at any airport (addon or existing). I have been reading up on the subject and see that the latest Nvidia driver causes some issues so I have reverted back to a previous driver (344.75), but still have the issue. I can see the PITA landing lights, but the ALS system is not visible….any help would be appreciated.

I have been trying to install FS Global 2010 in P3D - I found the Pilot's P3D installer and was succesfully able to install FS Global Ultimate The Americas, but when I load the first DVD and run the install for FS Global it simply sits on 'Pls insert the following installation DVD: FS Global 2010 DVD1'. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've seen a few photos of the view looking out of the cockpit from full simulators. From what I've seen they must have some sort of projector system that wraps around the cockpit - which is really cool if you can afford it. But whether you have one monitor, multiple monitors or a wrap around projector can you control how much (to the left or right the view) you can see in FSX? I'm asking because it appears that the view I've seen in these photos looks further to the side that I can see w/ my set-up. Note - I understand that there is software that allows you to look around the cockpit and that's not what I'm asking about - hope this makes sense. Thanks.

Thank you - kinda feel dumb about that one. Prior to takeoff. I will need to research this a bit further...and post. Thank you for all of your help. Turns out that that I do have an ASUS board and because there is also one other issue the company that built out my computer for me is going to replace the mother board w/ another manufacturer's board.

Sorry I'm not familiar w/ the term AP - but I will check the BIOS clock.

Great question - this is from memory - I can recreate the failure tonight and be more specific - at some point in flight the altitude for flight and landing are replaced by dotted lines. There is a failure light that comes on below the bleeds (I cannot recall specifically what it says). I can turn the system to manual and the failure light goes out - but now I am flying on manual pressurization and I don't know how to do that. Eventually, the alarm starts going off (I read in a post that could be the oxygen masks being deployed in the cabin) that sounds similar to the alarm that sounds when you turn off the AP.

Thank you. I am not flying w/ any failures on - and just to be sure I ran maintenance via the CDU. The panel state is cold and dark.

I've found a few posts on this - some are very detailed, but I can't find my solution. Here's the issue: I set the TOC altitude for the flight as well as the landing altitude. I have the recerc fans 'on'. After engine start I have the left and right packs to 'Auto'. Isolation Valve to 'Auto'. APU Bleed to 'Off'. The two switches (which I don't know what they are called) to the left and right of the APU Bleed to 'on'. I have the Altn to 'Auto'. I do not have any failures set in the CPU. During flight the Cabin Pressure systems fails, but I cannot figure out why....any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I start FSX w/ EZdok installed my FSX config file changes.... WideViewAspect=True changes to WideViewAspect=False When I delete EZdok and start FSX the config file does not change so it appears EZdoc is changing the config file from =True to =False. I am running three screens in surround and need the config file to stay on =True. Any thoughts on why this may be happening and how to fix? Thank you!

Thank you Kyle - both great videos - very helpful.
