back in earlier versions of 2.x Carenado cockpits suffered the same thing, the vendor suggested turning off reflections would fix it. perhaps it might work for you in this case too.

<r>Head over to the ORBX/FTX Terrain forums and ask if their UK- England region already includes a modelled Bournemouth. Considering the entire region was years in the making and every tile hand laid I'd suggest you're more than catered for. Having one airport modelled is one thing, having the entir...

There has been no announcement that further production on P3D has come to an end. Therefore I would think it safe to assume work is continuing, why would you think otherwise?

<r>I'm assuming you want to set them for each aircraft so that you don't have to change them ever again. Search the web for how to change the camera view angles and distances, there's plenty of material out there. The same solutions for FSX work for P3D. You'll be looking for the InitialZoom=xx valu...

Known issue:

The reason no-one may have responded is that there are already threads about this issue which have run their course, a simple search would have saved you posting a new thread on the same subject.

<t>Yes, incredibly slow process and a misleading prompt. The full install is even worse, over half an hour. As I have mentioned in previous posts, the entire patch process needs to be built in to the launcher - LM need to be dragged into the 21st century and get with the times with a slick interface...

I had the same issue.

Don't remove the tick from the Prompt On Exit check box under the General settings.

Worked for me.
