I only fly to payware airports and they have the latest AFCAD available. Example, my FSDT KLAX has all airlines at all gates. United is almost never parked at the right terminal (T7) and there is usually four or five different airlines at Terminal 4, where AA is suppose to be. As for the ATIS, it seems to almost always use the departure weather as the destination weather on ATIS, however, when being vectored in, they will give me a different runway assignment (usually the opposite of what is being broadcast). One other thing that bothers is me is the runway assignments for departures. It seems the software doesn't take into account multiple runways for departures. It sucks being on the north side of LAX and having to taxi to the south side. The only way to get around this is to ask for 24L instead of 25R.

ATIS winds are hardly ever right and parking codes is a free for all. It runs fairly stable but definitely needs some work done on it to improve some functions.

I would say go with PTA especially if you already have Active Sky or REX. If you have the enhanced REX, I think it is better than EnvTex, but that is just my opinion. Plus it is free for previous owners.

Those are fantastic!

I think performance is slightly better over v4, but nothing crazy. V/c rain effects was a let down, but then again, I didn't even notice they were missing in my aircraft because it doesn't make or break the sim. Everyone wants a 3rd party dev to improve it, but I'm kinda tired of having to pay for every little thing for improvements. I miss the days of FS9 when it came out of the box ready to work. Dynamic lighting IMO is somewhat of a lackluster of an effect. When I first heard about this, I thought it meant all lights were dynamic (including sun and moon), but in reality, it is just for night flying. V/r isn't something I do so, but I just happened to click on it just to see what it looks like and it is quite blurry looking around the V/c. Just my two cents.

A lovely morning out of Seattle. This is straight out of the sim. I am loving the new upgrades to P3D v4 and REX enhanced edition.

Is there a way of doing real time changes to the game and seeing them or do you have always make changes and then restart? I enjoy using ReShade cause I can change things as I am playing and see changes immediately. Just was curious how everyone is making tweaks. This program is awesome!

These are fantastic! I have always loved DOF shots.

Got these textures installed and loving the results. I did tweak some of the reshade slightly, but nothing significant. Now the seem is looking good!

Stunning shot!

I simply ran the P3D installer again and hit repair. It will fix any issues you have, or at least it should.

It sounds like either your cloud.fx or cloud2.fx file is corrupt. I have had this happen several times. I had to delete the fx file and then run the installer again and hit repair. It should put it back into your directory and be fixed.

Please share your sun settings please!!!!

Your stratus clouds look a lot better than mine. Mine look like someone scraped something white across the screen. Great shots.

Wow those are nice. Sure wish SkyMaxx would develop software for P3D! That sky and clouds are stunning.

Finally had some time to mess around with P3D. Got RSP and Reshade working together again and enjoying the results. ~b757

Beautiful!

I fee like an idiot, but I can't figure out what is going on. I downloaded the 1.1 and the lastest release from a few minutes ago. On the initial opening I hit restore as it recommends. Then, I did the settings as I wanted. I then loaded the sim up, and have no terrain textures. I am running the latest version of P3D, running the .exe in admin, have deleted shader files and still no luck. I then hit restore and now I still don't have any ground textures. I am not sure if anyone else is having an issue like this. I remember someone posting the last thread about the same issue, but they weren't running P3D 3.2. I hate to be the one to have the issue, was just hoping to give this thing a quick spin. I did have v1 package working very well.

Fantastic! Can't wait to load it into the Sim. Thank you for your hard work!

That is fantastic!

Here are some shots with those files loaded in my sim. I am really impressed. I am now going to try those files from that video that was just posted. I am also running ReShade, which needed some tweaking with these files. I am pretty pleased with the results so far. ​

Continued progress... ​ 04 Mar 16 I am still working on the bloom and intensity, but I am liking these more and more...

Still a work in progress, but it is coming along nicely... These are straight out of the game and no edits! ​

I am using Reshade and Mastereffect. Here is what my sim looks like at all parts of the day. This is the same file for all of the pics. I think the night is almost too dark, but its partially because the lights don't truly emit light, which would give the glow that would be it much better.

I liked FS9. Was the whole package and it just worked! I'm now using P3D v3.
