No afraid not. It is a VRinsight overhead and they have stopped supporting their products. No new drivers for ages. I contacted them to plead with them to update the driver when the NGXu came out, but they basically told me to go away.

If I knew then what I know now I would have gone that route. But the way I decided to go means that it would be very difficult if not impossible to change my cockpit to the ProSim because it uses a mixture of products, due to cost considerations. My overhead would actually work with the ProSim, but not other aspects of the cockpit unfortunately. Ultimately I may have to bite the bullet and replace the overhead which will cost me a lot of dough and require a lot of modification to the fabric of the cockpit. Still 'Cest la vie' I suppose.

Maybe because it doesn't really affect you. I have a home cockpit based on the NGX and as much as I want to upgrade to the NGXu, I can't because my overhead panel is not compatible with it and never will be. So now I am stuck with 4.5 and no option to upgrade, for the sake of a simple installer.

It was brown, Duhhh.

So nice of them! 😒

Ladies of the flight.

And their names are Prepar3d and Xplane, a good time for all!!!! 😜

It sounds like you may be able to manually install it into V5 and it would generally work. However there would be no support for it from PMDG!

If you look at the P3Dv5 new features list, this is related to updated interiors in the default Control Towers. The only other ATC change listed is the ability to tune frequencies with '8.33 kHz spacing support'. Finally they have added Sid and Star visualisation support for gauges - whatever that means. Apart from that there is nothing else ATC related - so don't get your hopes up too much 🙂

I have no idea what all that means, but it sounds good 😁

Thanks for the advice! I tried it out but the AI aircraft are still very quiet. I can only hear them in external views when they are virtually next to me and I can't hear them at all from in the cockpit. Maybe that is just how it is in P3D. Do you find the same? Thanks anyway.

Sorry, I meant 'quiet' as in the volume of the sound from AI Aircraft. I take it you must have every AIG airline installed to get that much traffic !!!

Thanks for your detailed explanation - I get it now !😄 Any ideas as to why they are so quiet as I explained in my reply to Christopher?

Yes, I am using that AFCAD as well, but it didn't make any difference until I changed the settings in AIG to 1% - now much better.

Thanks for the reply, I have changed my settings to 1% and the traffic at EBBR is much better now. While we are talking AIG and AI aircraft, another problem I have is that the AI aircraft are very quiet. I can't hear them at all in the cockpit even if I am right up their tailpipe and in outside views I can hear them but they are very quiet. Is this normal with P3D or is there a setting somewhere that I can adjust ? Cheers.

Thanks for that! I have never really understood the percentage settings in AIG ! If I want a lot of AI what should I use for the settings? You say you use 1%, is that in both the min and max settings - and why does 1% give you a lot? Very confused.com 🤔 Thanks

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I have just purchased Justsim EBBR on sale and I have the same low AI count - probably only 5 or 6 planes across the entire airport. I use AIG OCI with levels set to 1 - 99% in AIG and 50% in P3Dv4.5. Other airports such as MK Studios EIDW are pretty full with these settings. Any ideas? What settings do you use? Thanks for any help. 🙂

Greetings.

I want to move to v5, but I have a 737 cockpit which utilises the PMDG 737 NGX. I can't use the NGXu because my VRInsight overhead panel is not compatible with it. I very much doubt PMDG will update the NGX when they are not selling it anymore, so I will probably be stuck with v4 - gutted.

🤐

Maybe it is something left over from the basic FSX code that both sims still use (P3Dv5 and MSFS) that will never truly be fixed without a complete re-write?

Who knows? There are a lot of vague descriptions in the list - will have to wait and see I suppose.

The Autogen popping / loading question has been asked numerous times in this thread but nobody 'in the know' seems to be taking it on!

Thanks, that's a handy website. Took me a while to figure out I could type in the frequency rather than using the tuning buttons that were taking forever. Sounds much the same as the Real Volmet program which is good.

Yes, that's right. As I said, just one minor downside to an otherwise very useful service. 😊
