Re: Prepar3DV5 Compatibility

I have a new computer with Windows 11 Pro installed. I’m having problems when approaching EHAM. Long pauses lasting a couple of minutes which eventually cease and I can land. Windows Virus protection is very aggressive and I’m wondering if there’s an executable or DLL for FlyTampa airports I need to...

Re: RWY 24L [Radar Contact FIX]

Apologies. It appears I was using an AFCAD supplied for GSX with enhanced jetways. It seems that had the incorrect mag var value.

Re: RWY 24L [Radar Contact FIX]

Just a follow-up to this problem. I only purchased Montreal in November 2021 and as a keen Radar Contact user I was perplexed by the vectors given to me on approach. Turns out the AFCAD in the supplied package has not been corrected. Perhaps the developers could look at fixing this as it took a lot ...

Re: Price disparity between MSFS products and P3D

The prices were initially set low by other devs believing sales would be FAR greater than fsx/p3d/xplane. It didn't turn out that way but the prices sort of stuck. Its more work now if anything. We have PBR texturing and cpu power for more detailed modelling. However, the MSFS SDK is the best of th...

Re: Price disparity between MSFS products and P3D

Don't forget MSFS has default satellite imagery where P3D has not. This imagery is one of the most expensive parts for developers to buy. In the past they only took the airport perimeters, but today you will see the nearby areas covered as well... Does Athens have satellite imagery? I’m not sure it...

Re: Price disparity between MSFS products and P3D

Hi EasternT3, Firstly, are you an employee of FT or just another customer like me? Where did you get those P3D & MSFS numbers from? If what you say is true then P3D customers have subsidised the MSFS products. I find that disappointing. And the amount of subsidy seems excessive. UK2000 have pric...

Price disparity between MSFS products and P3D

I notice the FT products for MSFS are considerably cheaper than the equivalent for P3D. Are they cut-down versions that take less time to create? If they are the price difference is understandable. But if they're the same quality why would they be so much cheaper? Example: Athens for MSFS is $17.99 ...

Re: FlyTampa Configurator Tool and latest versions of Products

Okay, the penny has dropped as to how this system works. You have to run the Configurator Installer for updates and new purchases. Got it now. I was hoping there would have been a facility within the Configurator to check for new versions and update automatically.

Maybe next time. :-)

FlyTampa Configurator Tool and latest versions of Products

Hi chaps, I'm running P3D v4.5 I've had the Configurator tool installed for at least a year but noticed there was a new version available. I downloaded and installed it from this link but the file details still show it as v1.0.0.0 http://www.flytampa.org/dwl/FlyTampa_Universal_P3D_Setup.exe Is it an...

Sydney v1 - Dynamic Lighting kills performance in 4K

HI chaps, Intel i7-8086K @ 4.6Ghz, 1080Ti, 32" 4K display and 32Gb RAM. Sydney v1 is able to maintain 30fps if I turn off all the 'moderate impact' options. I was able to taxi my Lear25 all around the airport to Rwy 16R and fps stayed at 30. But as soon as I taxied onto the runway the stutterin...

Re: Amsteram ADE/Afcad Notes

Thanks Erik. I found the solution in another thread and have now chosen All Runways in the configurator. 09/27 is now available. Many thanks. :)

Re: Amsteram ADE/Afcad Notes

I have the 1.1 update installed for EHAM in P3D v3.4 but have noticed Rwy 09/27 does not show in Electronic Flight Bag map. I checked the properties of 09/27 using ADE and both ends of the runway are closed for take-off and landing. Am I alone in having this problem? That runway is open in the real ...

Re: Huge VAS issue

Having just bought EHAM this afternoon I have found this thread and am a little concerned. I have Sydney, Dubai, Copenhagen and Athens and none give me any problems even flying FS Labs Concorde. I dial back some of the scenery settings and this gives me enough VAS. I'm hoping these settings will be ...

Re: New version

Seven months on from you posting screenshots on Facebook do you have any news on how v4 is progressing please?

I would dearly like to add Boston to my collection but don't want to buy a 6 year-old version.
