Re: Prepar3D v4.5 vs v5+

Please explain the problem that you see... everything I see looks normal. Are you using the controller to slew or the keyboard? I alway delete ALL of the slew assignments, such as joystick and buttons and use only keyboard for slew. Also, the title of your post has no relationship with the problem y...

LOL you are exactly correct. Same principle.
This is why I always google the time zones (except when answering in a forum).

No other for default aircraft. Addon aircraft may have their own scheme.

Re: UTC Time Bug

Duncun, I frequently start scenarios in many different time zones and I have noted that on the Scenario Set Up screen the offset between new location and GMT is always in error. The work around I use is to set the new location to a local time that corresponds to the UTC that you want set. For exampl...

Re: Add-on.xml seems problematic for my sceneries

Hi Tom: I use the add-on.xml method for all of my scenery addons and with only a few exceptions, I combine all products by developer such that all FSDT locations are in one, all FlyTampa in another one, etc. The texture issue remains a puzzle for me as well. I simply exclude all of the texture entri...

Re: P3D Crash when sitting in aircraft.

Click on the Windows start button and type "problem" without the quotes and select View all Problem Reports. If there are P3D reports pay attention to what the faulting module is because that gives you a clue and something to enter into the Google machine to look for possible hints.

Re: RAM frequency vs size (and monitor question)

In my opinion, your CPU is a major bottleneck and there is little to be gained without addressing this. I have a 4790K but it is relegated to being my home book keeping machine, and flight sim map reader and flight planner. I have a build now that I am using for flight simulation with 8700K 4.8 GHz ...

Re: Asset Packs?

Everything you see in a default airport, such as taxi signs, wind socks etc., are generic models accessible to you depending on what you are using to create an airport. I recommend you refer to the Learning Center > SDK > World > Scenery > Facility Data.

Re: Re Install Scenery Component:Deactivation needed?

You will need to uninstall prior version of scenery before installing new. You might want to first check the scenery installer to see if their is a repair option. Finally, reinstalling software is the least preferred method of troubleshooting..... it usually means you are out of ideas. What specific...

Re: Installation of scenery

I assume you installed the addon scenery with the addon installer?
Did you look a the P3D Addon list?
Did you select that location and load an aircraft there and was it a default airport or does it appear as you expect for the addon?

Re: freeze and memory

This 'freeze' or long frame could be related to loading scenery objects, but this will also occur while going straight ahead and not turning. I don't know enough about your issue to be of much help but just wanted to assure you it has nothing to do with loading scenery into memory. Your memory is fi...

Re: Slew Control on HOTAS WARTHOG

I have most of my Warthog switches/buttons programmed directly in P3D.... never had a problem. Also, I go through the default key command assignments in slew mode and delete everything but the few actual keyboard keys I use. I found it best to remove all controller inputs from the slew mode.
