nVidia 1080 driver issues (i want back my money)

Hello - What nVidia driver you have installed ? - Do you fly with add-ons installed ? Missing night textures may be an issue. Try to switch off the add-on scenery you may using. You can also test this going to an airport i.e. in China where only base scenery is used We use 1080 as well, no issues 24...

P3D v5: View angle down to the runway

Hello We noticed that in approach the view down to the runway in P3D v5 looks much too steep than up to version 4. We tried many changes in View configuration but nothing helped. ILS and PAPI show correctly. v4 and below gives a realistic view down to the runway. Anybody else made this observation ?...

Feature Request: AIR File Editor

Dear LM P3D team One of the most important features of a flight simulator is the behaviour of the selected aircraft. Depending on joystick hardware and personal point of view these base data to be changed is fundamental. There are non-official AIR file editors around, and yes, in the SDK are some As...

Re: Broken variable (?): ELEVATOR TRIM POSITION

Dear Clifton

Thanky you, my error. I was completely forgetting this.
However somehow not logic as XML shall be the preferred method for gauges.
That you want to change system variables is quite natural, i.e. FMS can not be done easyly without ?

However, thanks, matter is closed

Re: Flicking screen no matter what I do

Installing new hardware today we had similar issue. P3D v4.5 running nice, but every 2-3 seconds a black flicker. We use nVidia 2018 with 3 beamers on each 1600x1200 resolution.

Limiting the frame rates down below 40 did the job to stop this, vSync ON or OFF the same.

Re: XML Gauge - Slide / Rotate objects display issues

Good afternoon

We found out that the XML lines
<Rotate>
<Value>(A:Attitude indicator bank degrees, Radians)</Value>
</Rotate>
causes the wrong picture. <Shift> section does run OK.

Nobody else on this topic ?
Best regards
