I run P3D v4. Can I update to v4.5 straight or do I need first to have v.4.4 ? THanks

I finally got around to downloading the new KORD runways that are in the file library but am having trouble getting them into v4. Are the instructions different inv3 vs. v4? I selected it in the scenery library but nothing changes. Do I need to change its priority or something? Any help would be appreciated.

Are there any realistic settings or "musts" that I need to use in order to get the most realistic looking clouds and weather within V4? I am using ASCA, AS for V4, and PTA. I was going to do some tweaks tonight and was looking to see what most tubeliner folks like the best. I use Dynamic mode in ASCA and always file a flight plan in AS when doing a flight. I also load VOR and NDB's as routes. Any other suggestions? I have a higher end machine so I can afford to push the limits in terms of performance. Thanks

Can anyone tell me if these work well in 4.1? Thanks.

I have finally got around to installing FS2Crew for the Majestic Dash8 Q400 onto my Steam FSX. No matter what Keys I bind, no action for Main or Secondary panels. I did have FS2Crew working on my MD11, so, I think I understand the key assignment process. However, this was on a normal FSX machine installed on the D: drive. The Majestic is installed under C:\programs on my FSX Steam machine and is my main FSX simulator now. I do have UAC turned off and no issues with other programs with permission problems. I have It must be a key assignment problem, because I can open the FS2Crew Main Panel via the VIEWS -> INSTRUMENTS PANEL menu. Also, when I click the button on my joystick, an action cycles though the information window and the FO responds. So, my issue is getting the process to talk to the key assignment...I will post this, but in the mean time, I will remove and reinstall FS2Crew to see if this helps. Before I start removing FSX-SE and re-installing outside of the C:\programs, I wanted to know what should appear in the panel.cfg for the Majestic for FS2Crew to be happy? I did notice these changes to the panel.cfg, which appear ok. All windows open manually. Window21=FS2Crew Main Panel Window22=FS2Crew Marshaller Panel Window23=FS2Crew PA Panel Window24=FS2Crew Briefing Panel and then at the bottom of the entries, below the [Vcockpit00] color, and default view was the 4 FS2Crew Windows.

Is the TFDI 717 available in P3D v4 yet? The add on manger says "coming soon" but I've seen people on youtube running it in V4. Can someone point me in the right direction to get it in V4? Thanks

Just showing some shots of the Premier 1A over Colorado and Utah. This little bird can almost keep up with the heavy iron. I increased my performance with it by lowering my texture res to 2048x2048. Can't see a difference at all but it yields better performance in the Premier. The first few shots, over Colorado, is from my scenery which can be found here at Avsim. Don't be afraid to try it if you think your system can't handle it. My old system did well with it, which was way below today's common specs. Hope you enjoy

I bought the NYC airports x packages and have kewr an kjfk and the regional airports installed correctly. However, I had imaginesim lga installed prior to. I tried uninstalling klga from imaginesim but it is still there. The NYC x lga doesn't seem to take priority and the imaginesim scenery seems to stick there. Any tips on getting rid of that so NYC x can take over?

Hello, I received an email from SimMarket today announcing an update for the Milviz C310R Cessna. I downloaded the update and installed it into P3Dv4. The filename included a V4 bit. Is this for V4? If so, it doesn't work: missing or blank textures etc. Thanks.

My question is simple, it's a full install, will I have to reinstall my scenery and aircraft? I have quite a bit of add-ons between Carenado and MSE. John

Switzerland & Some Good Radials...as in the Engines Of course some good free photo-scenery doesn't hurt...flight from Zurich to Grenchen, Switzerland I know a little much but wanted to show a complete flight this time...Darryl

I am curious as to what benefits I would get by buying pfpx or using simbrief. Currently when do I g a domestic USA flight, I get my flights flight plan from FlightAware and fuel from topcat. When entering the cockpit, I go into the fmc, randomize the cargo and payload and then use the fuel that was given in topcat. So my question is, what additional information would I be getting from simbrief that I'm not currently getting with my current method? On top of that, what would the $50 fee of pfpx give me over simbrief or my current process. I also add the average wind into the fmc that I get from active sky. Please help me understand the uses for these. Thanks!!

... and hopefully I'll get some from FlyTampa. KBUF Buffalo Niagara International Airport looks really nice from distance, I had a lot of fun with it while updating the AFD. At the moment I'm visting a lot of my old airports, used them last a long time ago. Bad! But it's my fault. Anyway: FlyTampa Airports are one of the best! Have also fun with your old ones! Urmel

A while back I heard about and started using Flai models for AI traffic coupled with AIG flightplans. After watching a youtube video on how to install the flightplans, I spent a few hours doing so and they work great! However, the airline density slider in P3dv4 doesn't seem to affect the number of ai aircraft at all. Anything between 1-100 gives the same number of commercial airplanes. I have checked this at several airports including KSFO, KORD, KSEA, OMDB, EDDM, EGLL, etc. If I set the slider to 0, then it turns the traffic off. I don't mind the visuals because it's great to see the extensive amount of aircraft at gates, taxiing, taking off, landing, etc but it really hits the performance hard so I want to limit the aircraft at busier airports. Any thoughts on why the slider only turns traffic on (setting 1-100) or off (setting 0) instead of also setting the amount of aircraft? Is there a way to fix that or is it the nature of using Flai with AIG flightplans? Thanks!

Does anyone know if alt tabbing while in flight messes things up? Twice now the ngx departed completely from lateral and vertical path with ap engaged. The only thing i did was alt tab. Also i fly with lekseecon live traffic and sometimes get quite a bit resolution adviseries. Could this be the cause? Regards, Roland roelofs

A couple of questions for everyone... I hate flying into default airports. KORD is an airport that I would like to fly into an out of. Is the FSDT version V4 ready? If so, is it worth it? I can't tell if the runways are the old config or not. If so, is there a way to get the new/current configuration? I fly online a lot and most of the sids and stars in my sim would be for the current configuration. Is there anything in the pipeline for a current KORD? Thanks!

Does anyone know if there are any future plans for photoreal scenery in P3d that looks similar to the ortho stuff? I️ know mega scenery is out there but that doesn’t look good. Just wondering what the future holds. Thanks.
