Re: V5 HAZE OVERKILL

I got rid of it by turning off Volumetric Fog and then in AS turning up the distance of visibility. I have mine at 150 minimum and 175 for Maximum. Josh

Re: P3DV4.5-HF2: ORBX LOWI buildings become progressively black with altitude increase

If you have the video card with at least 8 gigs of memory you could try this tweak. Under graphics in the p3d config change the value of Max Texture request distance from 1000.000000 to 32000.000000. This will keep the textures in memory a longer distance out. I use this tweak and I have no more bla...

Re: Scenery auto reload and p3dv4.5hf2 radius self-modified!?

I seen this behavior with other aircraft. The fix is to load the simulator with a default aircraft and then when in the interface load the A321. Complex aircraft or high quality payware like A2A or pmdg recommend this method.

Thanks J van E for this info Go to your P3D folder, open the Gauges folder and open missionpanels.cfg with Notepad. Search for [Window11] which is the ATC window. Edit the window_size entry or: the numbers a...

Re: P3D keeps NEEDLESSLY reducing my graphics settings!

Dont launch P3d with any aircraft like a PMDG or A2A as the startup aircraft, make sure its a default. When the program window opens then chose your aircraft of choice. Quoted by Lewis over at A2A you should never use any complex third party aircraft as your default flight due to issues with initial...

Re: Alt key doesn't hide menu

I think I have found the issue. I deleted my FSUIPC cfg file that I had imported over from V3 and now the keyboard works. Ill have to re map a few controllers and switches but that easy. Lets hope this solution holds for me.

Re: v4.0 - Texture resolution choice - bug?

I found the cure for the texture issue. don't use a A2A plane in your default scenario use a default airplane and then change it to a A2A plane in the interface. This is from Lewis over at A2A (you should never use any complex third party aircraft as your default flight due to issues with initializa...

I have the same issue I thought I was going crazy. Most likely a A2a thing that was missed. Josh

Re: Flickering objects

Thanks for the trick on ticking casting shadows, it solved the sparkles at all my Orbx airports. I run a 40" TV on a 970 and run in 4 x DSR with a smoothness setting of 0. With this I don't need NI at all! so no more 8x sgss. Yes Josh

Re: P3D v3.1 HDR Too Bright

I have the same issue and have turned HDR off. 3.1 is my first P3D so I don't no what the other ones looked like. The whites are to bleached out. I have tried everything to make it look good. Sometimes it does look good especially mourning's and sunsets but at high noon it is way to bleached out.
