Re: Default Airports in P3Dv5

This is a direct result of base simulators relying too heavily on 3rd parties. MSFS, XP, and AF2 are no different. Up until FS2002 everything progressed nicely with the base sim, since then too much emphasis began to be placed on 3rd parties. The base sim even began to slowly lose new aviation featu...

Never had an issue installing any version of Prepar3d until 4.5 2 hours of my life I am not going to get back after deleting folders, uninstalling and reinstalling, trying countless fixes from the forums and then to top it all off.....unplugging usb devices just so I can hit the Prepar3d shortcut a...

Re: Ghost ATC conversation on ATIS frequencies

If I'm understanding correctly what you are describing, I think this is by design to attempt to enhance the ambiance or sense of a busy ATC facility. Some background noise built in, I'm pretty sure. Users of EditVoicePack will notice this especially on a landing rollout, where default ATC would be h...

Re: ATC - What have I done?

Check the SOUND section not the INFORMATION section of the GENERAL OPTIONS.

ATC communications can be heard from a separate sound source than other sounds. Make sure that source is correct.

Re: 4.5 update no ATC/AI updates this time either :(

I'm using RC4.3 in P3D 4.5 without any trouble at all. Just be sure to have the latest FSUIPC installed in P3D 4.5, as RC will not work without FSUIPC. Also, its best to rebuild the database with the latest version of MakeRunways.

Re: 4.5 update no ATC/AI updates this time either :(

No doubt, the useless and sometime endless vectors that the default ATC gives IFR flights is very much a long standing issue. Its like the ATC needs one to be on an absolutely perfect course line. Turn left heading 145...turn right heading 165....turn left heading 150....turn right heading 160...it ...

Re: Ground surface friction

I agree that the ground friction needs to be adjusted. Taxiing could be much more realistic. PMDG did a good job with the latest 747. Also FSPS : Frictionality proves that this can be universally adjusted, but is available in P3D V3 and FSX only. Surly LM can make a universal adjustment, as default,...

Re: Pitch black night

This may help, try changing this setting in your Prepar3D.cfg:

MOON_PHASE_LIGHTING=False <---default is True - make it False

You may still need to turn up the HDR brightness a little higher too.

Re: dxgi error device removed...

I wanted to test the sim in its default state so that LM can't pass the blame onto others. On many of their replies on other posts they refer people to a general debugging url with the usual questions about having an up date OS and drivers and then discuss what add-ons you are running. If the sim c...

Re: dxgi error device removed...

I think its all a waste of users time changing drivers/ keeping P3D totally default / ini settings totally default Until someone with knowledge and authority can explain the error (while running P3D) and at least a possible cause, there is not enough of an uproar to waste much time on this. I cant e...
