Hi Ekim, Thanks for the reply, yes that is the case. I have given up with it for now. I’ve been asking for help for days on the Prepar3D forum and clearly stated I had done all the debugging steps in my original post that they recommend only to be asked today whether I’d done the debugging steps. I appreciate they probably have to ask but I did state it in my original post ha-ha, so presently I am no further forward. I have all the files for V4.1 on my PC but not for V4.2. Can you roll back from V4.3 to V4.1 bearing in mind I have done a full install of V4.3? I am convinced the problem is V4.3 because I’ve read numerous posts by people experiencing similar issues out of the blue. I do appreciate all the comments and tips from everyone though, it all helps solve the puzzle. Thanks, Jonathan

Thanks for getting back to me. I wonder what it is, I don’t have Barcelona but I’ve heard of a few people having issues. I think I’ll put everything back into the sim add on scenery etc so that it is ready for use. Do you think either Prepar3D or ORBX will issue a fix for this problem? Thanks, Jonathan.

Hello all, Hope everyone is having a good weekend. I am having major issues with Prepar3D V4.3 at the moment. I started experiencing issues on Friday where P3D was taking a very long time to load up after starting a scenario. I did all the troubleshooting tips suggested to no avail so decided to re-install V4.3 onto a blank SSD. Unfortunately after the re-install the problem still persists. I had installed all my ORBX scenery so I deactivated it to see if that was the cause and it was still taking a very long time to load up with nothing but default scenery. I timed it and it took 40 minutes on one occasion. What I was wanting to know was if anyone else is experiencing these issues and if they knew how to rectify them. I have contacted Prepar3D over on their forums so hopefully they’ll be able to assist me soon. Thanks for your time, Jonathan

Hi Bob, Thanks for getting back to me. I have tried a lot of things over the past 24 hours. Everything looks correct in the scenery library which is strange. I think it could be an ORBX issue because when installed the fresh copy of Prepar3D and ran the default scenario it loaded quite fast. I’ve noticed quite a few people having similar issues. I have reported it to Prepar3D over on their forums so hopefully they’ll get back to me. Thanks, Jonathan

Thanks for getting back to me. I have re-installed ORBX which has taken about 12 hours and it’s all correct and I have one add on airport in which is FlyTampa Boston for V4. I did a test last night and it struggled to load up at Boston in the PMDG 777-200. It took well over 20 minutes and I finally gave up. I’m trying again now and it’s been stuck in 18% for about 5 minutes. Are Lockheed Martin Prepar3D looking into this issue? At the finish yesterday I had to step away from it all because nothing I was trying was trying was fixing the problem. I have a feeling it’ll be quite a while before I fly again the way things are going with this sim. Many Thanks, Jonathan.

Hello, Interesting topic to follow. I started yesterday having huge issues with P3D V4.3 hanging on the loading screen after selecting a scenario. I did a full re-install on to an empty SSD and it is still the same taking sometimes 20 minutes to load up. Something can't be right. Is anyone else experiencing the same? I've done all the debugging tips and just can't put my finger on it. Many thanks, Jonathan

Many thanks for the replies, I think I might just bite the bullet and install. Thanks, Jonathan

Hello all, I have already updated Prepar3D V4 Client & Content components to V4.3. I have discovery their is a scenery fix for Cyprus. What I was wanting to find out is if I install the Scenery component would I have to re-install all my add on airports? I do have quite a lot installed and that’s my worry as I don’t have them linked via xml’s. Many Thanks, Jonathan

I just thought I’d let you know I’ve instslled the Mesh for the Cape Town area and it is very nice. I’m impressed, it really makes flying look much nicer in that region having some nice scenery. Thanks for the info, I’m now looking forward to the release of FSDG FACT. Thanks, Jonathan.

Thanks for the information, I’ll try my best to get it working without any issues, that’s half the fun hah. I suppose Table Top Mountain will be included in it somewhere? Also the Land Class would go fellow all the other terrain features. Thanks for the help, Jonathan

Thanks for that, I’ll definitley get it installed over the next few days. I notice the scenery is uploaded to the library in parts, I take it you install each part one at a time and layer it up? I also install all non compatible things outside of the sim, it works well. Thanks, Jonathan

Hi Erich, I’m interested in trying out the Aeroworx scenery, can you confirm if it works in V4? Many thanks, Jonathan.

Thanks Blake, it was very strange what happened with me. I believe it was prior to the Version V4.1 update and after that it fixed itself, P3D often has me scratching my head ha-ha. Thanks for your comment any how. Jonathan.

Hi Gridley, Thanks for your response. I’m going to double check that. I’ve done some research across Google and I’m wondering if a Forced Migration from FTX Central might solve it. Someone mentioned it is used when there is water where there should be land. Thanks, Jonathan

Hello all, I'm having scenery issues around the Canary Islands where the sea and one of the Islands I don't have scenery for are very blocky, as in you can see the tiles and in some cases the sea is across the land. I've tried running the Vector tool and it is still the same after running it. I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas? https://imgur.com/a/VyybD I am running the following: Prepar3D V4.1 ORBX Global Base ORBX Vector ORBX Open LC Europe ORBX Trees MK Studio's GCFV MK Studio's GCTS Thanks, Jonathan

Thanks Bob, I’m hopeless with all this. I understand, I’ll try it tonight. I appreciate you taking the time to explain it. Kind Regards, Jonathan.

Thanks for that detailed response. I couldn’t find the radio button in FSUIPC. Where abouts is it? Jonathan

Thanks Bob, I did actually buy it today and see what you mean about the steering tiller. Do you know how to calibrate it in FSUIPC? Thanks, Jonathan

Hello all, This is certainly an interesting thread to follow. I was wondering does the FSLabs allow a company route to imported from software such as PFPX? I was also wondering if the steering tiller is easy to operate. Thanks, Jonathan

Thanks Iceman, Yes my other ORBX Global sceneries are razor sharp. At least it seems to be a common problem. I wonder if Lockheed Martin will fix it. Thanks, Jonathan

Hi Dave, thanks for the quick response. I have a Matt Davies designed PC from Chillblast. The specs are as follows:- Intel Core i7-8700K, up to 4.7+GHz 16GB DDR4 2400MHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 X2 1TB SSD / 4TB HDD Windows 10 Home Thanks, Jonathan

Hello all, I did an approach into KSAN yesterday in the PMDG 777-300ER and sadly the textures on the approach to Runway 27 were quite blurred, not like the screenshots ORBX released. I was wondering if anyone would be able to suggest anything to improve my experience with the scenery. Would lowering the settings work, such as Level of Detail Radius? In the manual for KSAN it suggests setting at Large but I couldn’t find an option for that in Prepar3D V4.1. I tried following the recommended settings via the manual. I should note I am using ORBX Base, Global Vector, Open LC North America & Southern California with Active Sky for P3D V4. Any suggestions would be welcome. Many Thanks, Jonathan.

Hello all, I was just wondering if anyone knew how to link a yoke checklist that I have to a certain PMDG 747-400 livery? Many Thanks, Jonathan.

Thanks for your detailed response. I’m going to try this in the morning. I think I understand. I am going to test it with one Airport and see if it works and check I’m doing it correctly. Thanks for your time, Jonathan.

Ah that is excellent. So if the scenery is already installed in P3D but not linked to the .xml I would just have to link it up to where the scenery is located and then that’s job done I take it? I’m sorry if I’ve misunderstood Prepar3D sometimes really confuses me. Thanks for your time explaining it. Jonathan.
