Sorry to revive this thread, please feel free to delete my post. I eventually had a look at trying to "edit" the scenery to add runway 10L-28R. Unless I am missing something obvious, there seems to be an issue with the scenery's original base satellite files (ground polygon?) and asphalt/concrete textures files that appear on top of standard P3D runway and taxiway textures. It is easy enough to edit the AFCAD file, but it is of not much use because runway 28R sits below the above mentioned various textures. So basically, it looks a mess! Also, there are taxiway signs, stop bars and other various other objects which sit right in the middle of the runway or the adjacent taxiway. So unless you remove a lot of the original files and "corrupt" the look of the original scenery, then editing the AFCAD does not seem to help that much (as far as I can tell).

I had issues with trees on taxiways, dirt effect on aprons and taxiways, ILS DME bug, AFCAD and layout issues..... I fixed them all myself, which proves that the problems come from the scenery, not my PC or my setup. However, if I had listened to support, I would have uninstalled and reinstalled the scenery "50" times, maybe do the same with P3D and change my PC for good measure. None of that was necessary. Just the files which are "buggy" and need corrected. That is where I have a problem! I should not be misled to believe there is a problem on my side when it is ABSOLUTELY not the case. I am not here to badmouth the scenery, but to share my feedback. As I said on my last post, there are some nice things too, and now that I fixed the bugs, I am looking forward to enjoying the scenery.

Sorry to reactivate this thread... I said I would give my feedback, but I could not do it since I was "in discussion" with support. All in all, I am hugely disappointed with this scenery and I would not recommend it. Fair enough, the various terminals, etc...are looking fine, but the scenery is full of bugs. It is not worth the 26 GBP. Like always, the developer tries to b*llsh*t and put the blame on the customer, even when you tell them there is definitely a problem from their side (I know a thing or two about sceneries). The customer is not a beta tester... I guess that's the way things are nowadays. Buyer beware.

I use P3D as well and I am more than happy with it. It works generally well, and I like how realistic it feels... I have also invested a decent amount of $ in terms of aircraft and scenery...so I feel like I can't just move on from P3D. My only "problem" is that there are only a few developers left/there are no more updates. P3D will become more and more outdated as we go along... Overall, P3D suits me fine.

I took the plunge and purchased it. I will let you know what I think.🫡

Never any promo with these guys. A lot of devs offer discounts, if only for black friday or X-Mas. I have been monitoring the price in a long time and no change. A bit expensive indeed...is it worth it? Some people have mentioned the layout isn't even correct...?

I am a strong supporter (and user) of P3Dv5 and I have never really used MSFS. However, if I was starting fresh in flight simulation now, I would probably go for MSFS 2024. Why? Simply because P3D is slowly, but surely, becoming outdated. All the updates/development are going into MSFS. The future is not with P3D unfortunately.

It is runway 34. The scenery is for earlier versions of P3D so it needs tweaked for v5. I kind of "reinstalled" it, did a couple of tweaks and it seems to be working OK now. What is strange is I did not touch anything in the glideslope properties. Another mystery solved🤣 Thanks for the replies.

Hello, I came across something strange with the KRIC scenery you can find in the AVSIM library. The ILS glideslope positions the aircraft high on the approach vertical profile with 4 whites and, eventually, high over the threshold. Normally you cross the threshold at about 50 feet, but in this case, I would say the aircraft is at 100~150ft. From there, it becomes impossible to do an autoland, for example. Have you ever come across a problem like this within P3D, or finding the same issue with this particular scenery? (the airport AFCAD looks correct, but I might be missing something obvious). Thanks.

Reviews from other sceneries from the same developer. Anyway...if the AFCAD needs "updated" already, it is not a good sign.

This is really bad from the developer. Mind you, I am not surprised....some reviews on Simmarket are not good. It should be very easy and quick to create an AFCAD with correct alignment, etc...for an airport like KGRB. It is the basis of any airport scenery.

I have messaged you.

Hi Dave, How do you access your signature/website please? I can't seem to work it out. Thanks

I agree. Given that even PMDG themselves have closed their P3D shop now, having to pay USD 100+ for a P3D addon PMDG don't care about anymore is (to remain courteous) not something I would do. As for developers keeping P3D addon prices high when demand is so low, I don't get it....

Why are PMDG not communicating about the closure of their P3D shop? Simply because they don't care, and they can afford not to care... They are commercially very successful with their MSFS products. This probably makes them very confident, possibly arrogant about not caring for P3D anymore. As some people said, it is the last nail in the P3D coffin and I suspect PMDG are probably happy about it. I don't agree with that attitude, to say the least. As I said above, I find it arrogant and nasty. I guess what I think, or what some of you on this forum think, does not matter to them when there are hundreds of people who support them regardless. That's who and what PMDG are, and nobody here will change that unfortunately. Asking for an explanation is futile...

"Divide and conquer.... " Some "people" come here and attack the last few remaining P3D devs with unnecessary negativity to p#ss them off. Great job!

I am puzzled by the negative comments, I have to say. Everybody and their granny was moaning a couple of weeks ago about v6 having no CP. Now there is a CP, people are moaning again. If you don't like the price then don't buy it. You always have a choice! If the dev. does not sell his product, then after a while, he might reduce the price... But...don't come here and moan. If I was the dev. I would be well pi**ed off reading all that stuff.

Thank you for the set up idea. Nice to hear the v6 version of CP does not have any impact on previous versions

Excellent news about ChasePlane

Excuse my ignorance, but do you have to fiddle with the Windows registry?Can you not copy and paste from v5 to v6? Please don't laugh😁😅

For further info, the 777 can indeed do an autoland with 1 or 2 engines, flaps 20 or 30. Although flaps 25 is a landing flap setting, you can't do an autoland withflaps 25. Unless in an emergency, it is also not certified to do autolands when overweight. The 737 cannot do an autoland on one engine....also, it is not possible to use the autothrottle when flying on one engine...

With another machine, you can run something like the Aivlasoft EFB. It works well on a home network, and you don't need to worry about simconnect. Otherwise, you can run something like Active Sky Next or Plan G, but as was mentioned, you need to set simconnect up. Last thing, you can use a second machine as a some sort of FMC, there seems to be apps/programs which work that way....

On the Boeing 777, above 20000 feet, if you try to extend the flaps, nothing will happen, the flaps system is inhibited to prevent any unwanted deployment.

Payloand and range is all about achieving the best compromise. If you have max payload, you are not gonna be able to take as much fuel as you can (limited by the max take off weight), therefore your range will be limited. Depending how far you fly, you need to consider the landing weight, because on a short flight, you will have too much fuel left. And vice versa, if you take maximum fuel, you can't take max payload....and you need to watch the landing weight.

Engine anti ice needs to be on on the ground when icing conditions exist. You normally switch it on during the after start/before taxi flow. Then, once the flaps are up during the initial climb, you switch it back to Auto. In flight, if icing conditions are detected, and the switches are in the AUTO position, Engine anti ice will come on and EAI will be displayed near the N1 gauge. After landing, you switch Engine anti ice to ON straight away with the after landing flow/when you clean up once you vacate the runway, and leave it on until you shutdown the engines (in icing conditions, of course). Wing anti ice is never switched to ON on the ground, always stays on AUTO. In flight, the automatic function kicks in if required, and WAI is displayed. Very rare to see WAI in flight.....You can also switch it to ON, but it is not a routine thing to do. I am not sure to what extent the aircraft detects icing conditions in the simulator. I guess it is a very difficult thing to simulate. I did some sort of test the other day... I had engine anti ice on on the ground with 20 degrees C, clear skies, and did not have the EICAS ANTI ICE ON message...
