Thanks for the heads up!. I just bought the America package for $50 US.

I had the same vid card and went to 3060ti. It is worth the upgrade but don't expect a night and day scenario. I was able to crank up the settings a notch or two but not to full for scenery detail levels, lighting, and clouds. Haven't gotten any vram issues since the upgrade though.

It happened to me a few times in the PMDG 737. I noticed that the pushback didn't complete or I stopped it partially and the tow didn't disconnect. So, I was pushing the truck too. I changed the pushback to manual and it stopped.

Using OrthoXP you have to download the photo scenery. It seems like scenproc uses that photo scenery to generate the autogen. It's not great. I'd give it a 70%. There are many areas where vegetation autogen was bare but placing buildings was pretty accurate. When I deselected build imagery I get nothing created. I used the script that I got from a tutorial here...

So, I did a test run this morning using for KSAV area. I used OrthoXP and it's photo scenery then I took the autogen files and put them into megasceneryearth's Georgia texture folder and this is what I got. https://postimg.cc/FkfM1sf1

I tried this a few times myself with some success. I might give it a go again. If it works out, I'll post here and let you know where to get it.

I wish I could remember the name of it, but there's an app that will go through the texture folder and "fix" textures. Maybe someone else can remember it. As I recall it checked bmp and dds files for the correct format. "Dxt fixer" may be the app I'm thinking of. Worth a shot.

Thanks for the heads up! I grabbed KSFO and KIAD.

Thanks for the informative reply. I understand now. I didn't realize the data files had to be changed to fit the newer sim's data reading format. I assumed they were just lat-longs with an altitude, (something like 58.955568, -48.573323, 1000) and the sim took care of the rest. I have Toposim Canada and like it very much. Looking forward to more...

I don't know about their statement. I don't know what upgrade is needed to make mesh files 64 bit compatible. They are just data files. There's no assembly code in them. A byte of data is a byte of data regardless of the cpu speed or bits. Those mesh files could be read by an old IBM PC from the 80's without a problem. It's how FS processes them that makes the difference.

CYYZ, a major international hub, has heavy international traffic from 2:30pm to 7:00pm (wide bodies). Regional traffic, Q400's - E170's - CRJ's, in the morning from 7:00am to 10:30am with scattered international traffic.

I have it installed and using their files from 2007 to present and I see allot of traffic. Which airlines have you imported? Also, check for the correct AI aircraft models installed in Simobjects/airplanes. If they aren't there you won't see anything.

It could be one of the aircraft lights. Try turning them off one at a time and see if it disappears.

Sorry about that. Login is EMP999 and password is guest.

I've used all three mentioned and VAM would be my suggestion, but not what I use. VAM is the more modern and clean looking system and seems to be more complete and the programmer is more attentive to his clients. phpVMS will require you to know some php and html if you want it to work with your ideas. Both will, for that matter, but more so with phpVMS. I wasn't happy with what was out there myself so I created one to fit my needs, but in order to do that, you need extensive knowledge of php. :-)

Empyral is a twist on what you are used to in a VA. Rather than book a flight and fly it accumulating hours, you are in more control. You are a contracted pilot running your own subairline of Empyral. You choose where to fly from any place in the world, the type of aircraft, and create the routes. Your choices will affect your reputation and therefore, the number of passengers who want to fly with you. Make them happy and you will get more passengers and eventually upgrade your fleet, or not, the choice is yours. You can grow in a region or use the credits you earn to expand to other places in the world, or just remain small, there's no pressure. This concept is not for everyone. I designed it entertain myself, got some comments from testers and tweaked as I went. If you want to join a VA and be top dog in 1-2 months, this is not for you. It is possible, however, to grow an airport beyond it's current real world pax stats as a contractor. Feel free to come over and check it out. If you are interested, sign up from the About Us menu. You can log in with username guest and password guest to see what's available as a pilot. There is no requirement of online ATC, you can fly offline and report your hours, we don't use an annoying app to install and run in the background. It's strictly on the honour system. Therefore I hope to attract mature people who just like the hobby. It is a hobby at Empyral, not a job. There's no great reward for being top dog, no one will be coming to recruit you for British Airways, Air Canada, JAL, etc. Empyral is always expanding and new features are added by requests or ideas from my head. Currently, we support only passenger operations. A cargo division is on the horizon (by the end of 2016). You can use bizjet's in the current configuration but a dedicated bizjet operation will be added in the future. Finally, you can use any flight simulator you like, any version. http://www.empyralva.com Andrew Barter President Empyral

Like you I was very nervous about spending money on P3D especially since the Canadian $ has took a nosedive. I bought it on the weekend and kicked myself for not getting into it sooner. Smoother graphics at higher settings. My add-ons look and feel so much better. I have installed AS A319-321, Carenado 1900D, Ultimate Terrain Europe V2, ASN, and FreeMeshX, plus a couple of freeware airports. All of those worked without a hiccup! ...and I will enjoy it until the credit card bill arrives at which time I suspect my wife will bar me from FS'ing... but until then... woohooo!

Same here especially the guys and gals who spend hours upon hours on an airport mod with no reward deserves at least a thanks. Best wishes to you all.

I used to have this problem. I removed my sound blaster card used the onboard sound and the problem went away.

Hilarious and cool at the same time.

I'm looking for a few people to try out the system I've come up with. Instead of being a pilot you are a contractor so you get to make more decisions than the standard VA. The routes are predefined but you choose the aircraft to use. The passenger loads you get depend on your reputation which you build over time by being on time or by using the credits you earn to advertise. Check it out and drop me an email at [email protected]. http://www.empyralva.com Andrew Barter President Empyral VA

Empyral announces new division, ACMI, which is an acronym for Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance. Starting February 1, Empyral will be taking contracts from various sources for short periods of time. These will be for special events or to help an airline fill a gap while their aircraft are being repaired or due to a delay during delivery, etc. Andrew Barter President http://www.empyralva.com

I found it while surfing the other night, too. Delightful surprise! I hope it stays on and they include camera views from the aircraft tail.

I'll be one of the first to get the 1900 from Carenado. I've been flying the PMDG one for years. Can't wait for a more modern and complete 1900D.
