    Had this issue occasionally in P3D v3.4 but hadn't seen it in v4 until last night.  Was flying AS CRJ 7 into DD KEWR last night and experienced this on final.  Figured it had to do with the amount of autogen.  NYC area is notorious for this issue.  

    Certainly interested though if it could be something else.  

    DD KEWR also uses SODE so maybe that was it.

    Never had an issue except when something was bought as a gift for me.  

    Always can use $5 coupon with 10% off on top of say a 30% developer sale.  Can't get that deal anywhere else.  

    customer service is spotty and updates lag behind, but if i can pay $10 for a scenery instead of $25.  I'm in.

    Hi,

    I installed this scenery Kjax from Cielosim in P3D v4.1 and although it looks ok, but all my aircrafts

    are missing the nose wheel So I am wondering if this scenery is ok for v4.1.

    Any ideas???

     

     

     

    Not updated for v4 yet.   It is usable in v4 or 4.1 by pointing the installer.

    They are also taking advantage of the performance and not having to deal with VAS.  Devs can now put in all the little things they left out for v3 and 32bit platforms.  Animations, lighting, grass, extended size of airport, textures, etc.  They put in the time and effort to update.  You pay $5.  Seems like a fair deal to me.  

    No one says you have to purchase.  Its a free country...well it used to be.

    Hi Jason,

    Yeah - brought this up over at ORBX - one guy stated that the Aussie pack was updated - so he was transferring the updated models to the NA and updating everything accordinglyfor his own use... If all the models are updated in AU - that’s the part we can’t do on our own (64 bit conversion ?) - therefore it’s just sitting down and migrating the rest... It will take some hours but if wanted badly enough...

    Regards,

    Scott

     

     

    Scott -  All the models FTX AU has are FSX models and will be fine in P3D.  So it should be just a matter of applying the aircraft to the route.  Its also awesome they provided for free the Cessna payware pack from HTAI.  AIFP has the substitute function but i feel more comfortable waiting for someone with a legit flightplan for NA or EU.  Orbx and AIG guys need to get together on this.  that would be sweet.

    Hi Folks,

    And sadly for the GA guys - looks like ORBX bypassed the NA GA Package and doesn't plan on updating it to v4 - sorely missed - as my ORBX airports are now ghost towns...

    :huh:

    Regards,

    Scott

    Yeah i asked over at AIG if anyone was working on flight plans for those GA models for NA or Europe and haven't gotten a response.  So don't know.  

    Guess we could always substitute those models in the trafficaircraft.bgl.   would take some work though.

    I use UTL, you can update their liveries with other models.

    By the way UTL flights planes with proper flights plans no point to point as bgl files

    If you like to fiddle with traffic files, and be crazy about having each airline repaint, etc. go to AIG.

    Don't forget to get my AI lights freeware.

    Simbol 

    Yes I can wholeheartedly agree in adding Simbol's AI Lights Freeware pack.  They look freaking awesome.  Even show up on the military aircraft I added.   

    Oh that is the other thing, i don't know if UTL does military or coast guard etc type aircraft but you can add those via freeware.  Always nice to see sea hawks departing NAS North Island when i'm at San Diego.

    Good luck.  Ultimate Traffic Live works with v4 but not sure how up to date it is, livery wise.  

    most liveries don't change from year to year so you'll be pretty safe.  doing the freeware models, paints, flightplans is the best way to keep it up to date on a season basis but it takes some knowledge and work.   

    But i think if you want all that with very little effort then UTL is your best bet.   If you don't mind some work and time then feel free to research AIG and AIFP which will give you a fantastic end product.

    It depends...clearly the uninstallers won't work, so if a future update depends on an uninstaller to remove all the old program, associated registry settings etc, that may not go as planned.  Some scenery, for example, may put elevation corrections into ...scenery/world/scenery and if you switch to something else (e.g. ORBX San Diego to LatinVFR San Diego), you could get a bunch of anomalies from having the old elevation file still there.  It's hit or miss, really.

    Personally, if I have to reload the OS, then I reluctantly accept that I will have to rebuild the whole shooting match.  That's a week of 12-hour days to get FSX and P3D plus several hundred add-ons installed, even with detailed notes from the previous build.

    Regards

    Thanks Bob.  Luckily I hadn't fully migrated everything from 3.4 to 4.1 yet so the reinstallation is long but not that long.

    So ended up having a major issue after constantly uninstalling one of the Windows cumulative updates which i thought i had turned off.   Was forced to reinstall windows (i.e. windows wouldn't even come up) so didn't get a chance to uninstall items etc.  Have since reinstalled Win, P3D, Orbx, etc.

    My question is that things like payware Aircraft, active sky and all those things that were installed on a separate drive (my P3D drive) are still there and work correctly but do not show up in the Add Remove Programs.   Is there any reason this would cause issues?

    Everyone goes for bigger markets to sell their add-on's, planes, sceneries, eye candy tools, full ATC tools, etc.

    I am doing this because I want a solution to be available so I can enjoy the simulator, selling it so you can enjoy it too would be a bonus.

    That is the difference, I am not driven by money, I am driven by results, you can find on AVSIM forums how my AI lights solution started, I did it because nobody else including LM could be bothered, no difference with AI ATC behaviour, lots ATC tools out there but nothing improve little details that you and me are dreaming about for over 10 years so I will build a solution in order for things to work as they should.

    And YES it can be done, it is just a matter of time.

    Simbol 

    Good luck man!  Installed your lights over the weekend.  Really nice work!

    Yeah some of those tasks will be tough.  I'm 100% behind you.   I'm the kind of guy who likes sitting at an airport in P3D and just watching the AI traffic.  Also the reason why i'm rebuilding my AI fleet from scratch again with the help of AIG and MAIW.  

    AI Controller was on the right path before walking away.  AI flew SIDS STARS which made sequencing a little better.  Animations were pretty good for takeoff and landing.  Had adjustable speeds for taxiing aircraft.   But one thing AI Smooth did better than all of them was when you start up the sim at the airport there wasn't this mad rush of 10 planes heading to the departure runway.  

    I know many like the default ATC but i can do without it.   it will certainly affect the AI since they follow the ATC commands.  And probably why when using AI Controller you couldn't use ATC.  Also default ATC couldn't do SIDS STARS etc.  It also has issues with multiple runways in use airports.

    I used this on P3D 3.4 havent tried it yet on 4.1

     

     

    Yeah Version 2 was great because the AI flew the up to date SIDS and STARS and animations were great.  BUT something in the taxiing for version 2 got jacked up lots of going across the grass and missing turns etc.  I went back to 1.4B because the nice taxiing is mostly what i wanted to see. 

    I would prefer both though :)  

    Simbol will make it happen!

    Keven-

    First tried using P3D v3 this morning and received the error as CP closed itself "P3D version 3.4 not yet supported...we are working on it"  Turned off experimental updates and got the same message. 

    Then tried P3D v4 with experimental updates still off.  Same message but for P3D v4.1.  Turned on experimental updates and still the same message.  

    I understand updates but it would be nice if at least one version is usable.

    Thank you! 

    Simbol thanks for your help but you might to think twice before dishing out advice which isn't the best.

    Wow...just wow.  Simbol provides link from the Sim developer and you take the word of Joe Schmoe over the developer who built the sim.  

    Smart decision....I'm sure things will totally work out for you.   

    If you have more issues feel free to not be helped by knowledgeable people here.

    Absolute rubbish.  the drivers don't cause ntdll.dll ctds.  theres a million things that can cause ntdll.dll ctds.  Bad ai models,  bad overclocks, fsrealtime to name a few.  It's not the drivers 

    Well then super genius feel free to tell Jim Young his AVSIM CTD guide is worthless.

    Nothing is mandatory.  I'm sure there are still people on P3D 2.5.    totally up to you what you want to update.   LM lays out the changes to each module.   If the changes in the Scenery module are something you feel like you need then i guess you need to update it.   

    I did all 3.  But just my preference.

    But some updates if the changes in the scenery or content are geared toward something i don't use or something inconsequential then i don't update.
