Re: UI dialog corruption in P3D v4 and v5

Are you seeing this with a clean installation or do you have add-ons installed? Also do you know what specific update caused this issue to start? I have add-ons. I suspect it started with either KB5003637 or KB4023057...I run Win 10 Pro with updates deferred, and this started after I removed the de...

UI dialog corruption in P3D v4 and v5

It appears a recent Win 10 update has caused the UI dialogs (e.g. the opening create-a-scenario dialog) to exhibit video corruption such as cross-linked textures, buttons that appear/disappear when mousing across the UI window, parts of UI window not rendering etc. This is happening with P3D v4.5 (o...

Re: Microsoft/P3dv4.5hf3 Audio issue ?

I've had the problem with the Realtek audio using both the latest and a previous version of the realtek sound drivers, as well as on my Creative Labs X-Fi sound card. So given that it's happening with two different hardware audio devices, and with two different versions of drivers on the realtek dev...

Re: Microsoft/P3dv4.5hf3 Audio issue ?

It's not a driver issue nor is it confined to P3Dv4--I can reproduce it in P3Dv5.1 HF1 with a Creative Labs PCIe sound card and the onboard Realtek sound chip on my motherboard (and with two different Realtek sound drivers). This started with Microsoft update KB4601319, and uninstalling that update ...

Re: Simconnect Message Window Display Flashing

I'm seeing a steady jerky stuttering when I have the multiline simconnect message window open at the beginning of a P3Dv5 HF2 flight (text injected by Radar Contact v4 via WideFS and FSUIPC). If I suppress the multiline simconnect text window with an FSUIPC hotkey, the stuttering stops, and if I sub...

Re: Fix for 4.2 numbers bug...?!

Has anyone heard if this is to be fixed in v4.3? I haven't seen any more from L-M on this, and it's been a real problem since 4.2 hit the streets.

Re: PC Keeps Restarting

The only reason I didn’t take his directly to the hardware page was because someone suggested that I delete my cfg file and let the sim build a new one. This worked twice for around three days ... which led me to believe if anyone knows about something thats corrupting my cfg file. Could be that a ...

Re: P3Dv4.1 (suspected) internal texture handling problem

There was a fix made in 4.1 which unintentionally caused texture swapping to happen in certain cases. We'll have a fix for this in our next update. Regards, Rob McCarthy So, as users, is there anything we can do in the way we operate the sim to mitigate this in the interim...IOW to avoid those &quo...

Hey, Today I installed the new Windows 10 update (KB4040724), and the flight sim still crashes with the same error : Same here. The d***** auto-update installed 4040724, and that broke P3Dv3 (3.4.22). I uninstalled that one and used the M$ "Show or hide updates" troubleshooter to hide tha...

Re: Micro Stutters - V3

I've been having lots of issues the last few days with micro stutters and very high GPU utilization which I was attributing to the workload needed to feed a new and much larger 4K display. Not so...I just discovered that the special effects detail and distance slider settings were responsible for th...

Re: Activation questions

You are able to reactivate the application with a different license by holding the "Shift" key when starting Prepar3D. This will prompt you to enter your new license information. OK, great--thanks. But one important question--does this process release/deactivate the old license so it can ...

Activation questions

I'm looking for a little detail on how the activation/deactivation is done with P3D V3. I have a month-to-month developer's licence, which allows me to install P3D V3 on two different computers. I want to install a testbed on a second PC to evaluate some different hardware combinations. Is there any...
