Re: Prepar3D v5.3 performance?
V5.3 HF2 is a LOT better than the previous versions in controlling stuttering and pauses. I run it on unlimited and find it manages itself well.

Re: ViewGroup - very strange issue, LM please help !
Sounds like you do have a problem Beau. Just to say I personally, haven't experienced the same problem in my 737 cockpit. The ViewGroup I set up was all OK on v4.5, 5.0, 5.1 and now v5.3HF. I have one 75" monitor to my left, and three 55" monitors to my front, right and far right. About a ...

Re: Size of sun and moon
I believe you can delete the file and have P3d rebuild the whole whole on next startup, and the moon should appear the correct size.
I would back up the file and just adjust the moon size to less than 600.

Re: v5.2 freezes at 72% when repositioning
I came back from holidays with only v5.3 release on the main PC and I needed to install the V5.3 Hotfix 1 and the +1 update. I decided to uninstall the lot (Client, Content, Scenery, and Professional then delete the Shaders folder) I then installed the downloaded 5.3HF1+. It all went smoothly. I the...

Re: v5.2 freezes at 72% when repositioning
I have the same problem. (95% of the time) I reported it a couple of months ago. No community solution. It is the same problem when I moved to a clean v5.3 I think in my case it has something to do with REX Skyforce and Active sky running. Very rarely P3d sails through 72% on relocation but I haven'...

Re: P3D V5.3 Missing Horizon/Atmo Haze
Sorry 737 Sim guy, I know it needs to be coded :-) but what I meant was, a few versions ago, I followed good advice here and modified some code in a couple of files. It worked, and fixed the particular problem. Then later a HF came out, and it replaced another file, and then, combined with the two o...

Re: P3D V5.3 Missing Horizon/Atmo Haze
I agree. I use Active Sky 3d and REX Skyforce. This combination was great in 5.2 with EA off. Now in 5.3, in Alice Springs (YBAS with EA on) - on a clear 25 degree day, the view out to the horizon looks good. Take off and as you approach 3,000 feet the view turns into a European hazy foggy day. Turn...

Re: 5.2 perfect, 5.3 long pausing and stuttering is unflyable
Had my first instance of this yesterday flying in Australia. (normally pretty good) Flying out of Orbx Alice Springs (YBAS) north to Darwin (YPDN) over Orbx Australia V2. About 5 miles out of Alice Springs P3D V5.3 went ranging from 4 FPS to 10FPS and then froze. The CPU1 was a solid 100%. GPU runni...

Re: P3D 5.3 information text fuel, fps, etc
I agree. In flying the sim, I am only interested in FPS. Not 'health points' etc.

Re: heavy aircraft wont liftoff until at 200kts
Did you neutralise the trim? If it is nose heavy it will take longer.

Re: After 5.3 Update: Black ATC Menu
I'm a mug - I wasn't waiting long enough. In the old days, the ATC Menu would appear in less than a second. In my case I pressed ~ and only waited less than a second or two before pressing it again in case the program crashed. It seems to take about 3 seconds, on my system to populate the black box ...

After 5.3 Update: Black ATC Menu
Anyone else having this problem? I uninstalled V5.2HF3 Client; Content; Scenery; and then Professional under Windows. I also removed P3d.cfg. I then installed V5.3. I created a new default Scenario. V5.3 works fine, and I could syncronise my extensive Orbx scenery quite well. Updated AS3D OK to the ...

Re: Rudder pedal recommendations
If you are flying airliners, I would recommend the Thrustmaster TPR peddles. Expensive - but solid, no glitches and smooth. Easy set up.

Re: V5 or V4.5
I was on v4.5HF3 for a very long time. I had added REX Skyforce for the environment and then Active Sky for real time weather over the time. I liked the look of it and it flew quite well in my 4 screen surround 737 cockpit. Then P3d V5 came out, and everyone seemed to be having problems so I stayed ...

Re: V5.2 HF1 Second Monitor Screen flicker when activating popup window or scrolling text
Interesting. Naturally, I have the same big black flash across all of my four monitors in my surround View Group cockpit on every pop up. Very annoying. I heard it is somehow related to the use of HTML to create the ATC box nowadays etc.? The black flashes were there when the new style menu bar came...
