Re: Updating from version 5.1.8 to 5.3.12

I went to Control Panel to find P3D with the intention of deleting it. I was shocked to see version 5.3.12.28072 installed. Yet when I go to "Help--About", the screen says it is version 5.18.26742 Any idea what this is about? What would cause it to indicate two different versions? It runs ...

Re: Updating from version 5.1.8 to 5.3.12

No. Should I? I did not see "uninstall current version" in the installation instructions. Did I miss something?

Re: CTD at Menu after HF1

I changed nothing and the problem went away. Five or six times right after I installed HF1 when I tried to click on one of the top menu items, P3D crashed to desktop.

Now, no problem. No system reset - no nothing. I just reloaded P3D.

It is haunted.

CTD at Menu after HF1

I am experiencing crashes to desktop after clicking on any item of the menu at the top of screen. I just updated to V5 HF1. No problems prior with V5. Everything else appears normal. Addons: Chaseplane only.

Re: Black Ground Texture

Thanks Randy. I've tried all with no change.

I don't fly the F-22. How do you turn the ground radar on? I can't figure it out.

Re: Black Ground Texture

I use P3D v4.5 with HF1. I have intermittent black ground textures and black water textures. In addition, I have numerous black rectangles on VRS F-18E ground mapping radar. A little history: I have had ground mapping radar black rectangles on and off for the past year in NA only. Three weeks ago, I...

Re: v 4.3 Installed - v4.2 Opens

That was easy. Unfortunately, now I get the following error upon startup: "VRS Module: VRS_Tacpack.dll Don't know how to run on version 4.3... Press Ok to exit simulator" I guess I am out of commission until VRS updates Tacpack. VRS says it'll take about a week for them to formulate their ...

Re: v 4.3 Installed - v4.2 Opens

No. I simply installed over 4.2 (client, scenery etc.) using the single setup.exe as in the instructions. What do I do now?

v 4.3 Installed - v4.2 Opens

I installed version 4.3 yesterday. Everything went ok. No problems. At the end of the process, I got the "success" screen. I fired up P3D and checked out my VRS Superbug and Carenado C-172. No problems. I noticed that I could not find the new Scenery Library entry in the opening UI screen....

[RESOLVED] Slew Function in Structured Single Player Scenario

I'm new to P3D (v4.2) and I created a scenario which places FSX@War targets using SimDirector. All went well. No problems there. However, I like to check the targets "in game" using the slew function to maneuver around. Unfortunately, the slew function is not functional inside the scenario...
