If you do not have full rights to the Program Files folder, then there is a problem with your windows userid. It is not a Majestic problem.

Is your Airline trafic density set at 0 ? If not, P3D will generate static airplanes.

What if you simply click on then the X top right to close the window

There is a new menu option : Options / Live Graphics to change lightning on the fly

really hurts to use middle mouse button

To each its own. I use the middle mouse button to pan around and zoom in/out .All with just one button / one finger - great !

The labels for airplanes (online) show as black boxes. I tried all possible options on the information screen, display options, change Nvidia driver, clear shaders  ..…  no luck

All other info on the screen is perfectly readable

Using Prepar3d v 5.1

A SATA SSD is inexpensive and fast..

Nowadays SATA or nvme drives are at the same price level, so go for nvme if your MB allowes for it.

What is stopping you to register with a made up name ? Problem solved.

much prefer MSFS' one or two folder(s) method over P3D's several 'wherever the hell a developer feels like putting it' way of installing.

Really ? Did you install MSFS ? It is far more complex than P3D. Just for fun, try locating the actual exe file to start MSFS - good luck !

Re-installed and now seems to be ok, although the sliders seem to have only minimal effect. But I guess that was to be expected. Also assigned a key to reload shaders. Thanks all for helping.

By "save the settings", do you mean saving the settings in Envdir or installing them to the simulator?  In Envdir, you need to click on "Install to Sim" button to inject the shaders into the simulator.

I click the 'install to sim' button in Envshade, not Envdir.  Also, I installed Enshade first, then Envdir. (both as admin) Tonight I will re-install again in different order and see if that  makes a difference. Keep you posted 🙂 

I have P3Dv5 and just bought Envshade. I dont use ASCA or REX. Now, whatever how I set the sliders in envshade, I do not notice any difference at all. I change the sliders, save the settings and reload shaders is P3D - nothing changes

Tony, see my PM

Make your life easy and get chaseplane. Plus you get the additional features

One sure way is to reinstall Prepar3d content

As a side note, for SODE airports, you can also turn on the rwy lights during daylight if you like this.

Look at  C:\ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE\xml   and find the the XML file for the airport. Look for a line  "<Condition ID="B" Variable="TimeOfDay" Value="DAWN;DUSK;NIGHT"/>"  and add DAY to it  =>  Value="DAY;DAWN;DUSK;NIGHT"

Yes, it will run just fine, but not at high settings.

Don't know. Try it out. It will take you 10 min to find out.

Its a pity the PMDG DC6 is not updated to P3Dv5 yet. I read that some people installed it anyway and it works ......

Yes, just backup that folder and copy it to the new install and you should be fine

Backup of your previous cycle is in  C:\Users\Public\Documents\PFPX Data\NavData\NAVData-Backup

I just make them myselve, it's so easy to do. New plane ? Takes 5 min to set  all views I want.

Bought it, spent many hours trying it out, and went back to P3D v5. I do all my (IFR) flying online (IVAO) and FS2020 is just not (yet) up to it.  The panic when ATC tells you to enter a hold !! to name just one thing (the A320 just won't do it)  When PMDG/FSLabs bring their planes to FS2020, I will have another look at it. This is just me of course, if you  are happy with FS2020, enjoy

I use AutoHotkey for some other things, but it does NOT work for P3D. Maybe the other options ?

Using P3D v5.1

I found all the extra add-ons airport are coming from the orbx library (north/south germany). By excluding (like you mentioned) that folder all is ok now

Thanks for your assistance

Not really P3D, but for those flying on IVAO and have MSFS, here is how to use the IVAO models as AI.
