Orbx announced today that FlyTampa Sydney v1.2 is available for download from Orbx Central. My records show that I have a P3Dv5 license for YSSY v2 and my PC contains files within the Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3Dv5\FlyTampa\Sydney directory. Yet YSSY does not appear on Orbx Central.My Prod...

Hi Martin,
Despite your heroic efforts to get FT sceneries working quickly with P3Dv5, I feel that you should be planning on a clean-sheet installation process for them all once you are happy that they are working. That will enable everyone to ensure that they are in a stable state.
Regards, Richard

Hi Martin, I fear that the announcement of the universal updater has been quite vague and messy. When I download and execute FlyTampa_Universal_P3D_Setup.exe I receive the error message 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access ...

Hi Martin,
Many thanks for your prompt reply.
I had forgotten that FlyTampa is sold through SimMarket.
Having rerun the installer, everything mysteriously works correctly. Not sure what happened.
Onward and upwards!
Cheers, Richard

Hi Martin,
Even when I run the setup.exe as Admin, I receive a message saying that I may not have sufficient permissions to run.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi Kretodweld,
Welcome to the forum! You will find many pilots here willing to help you.
Can you give some details about what help you would like?
Perhaps also include details of your operating system and flight simulator.
Regards, Richard

Hi, To ensure that I have my FlyTampa sceneries installed correctly with P3Dv4.2, I have flown in/out of each as a part of a grand world trip. At the same time, I have made a video of each of my arrival/departures. If you would like to view the airports, go to my YouTube channel at https://www.youtu...

Hi Martin,
I doubt that it has anything to do with e-mail. I was trying at the time to use your website. When that caused the error, I tried to report it to the email address given. When that failed as well, my only recourse was to post the whole process as a forum post.
I hope that this helps.

Tried my first landing at KBOS with the latest scenery version today, but found the ILS aligned around 30-50ft to the right.
I was landing with only 1/2 mile visibility so had little time to react.
Is there a fix for this?

Hi!
I have uploaded two videos of my arrival and departure at Dubai, United Arab Emirates at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwLN7S ... qVvOAmiOwA.
I hope you like them. Please leave comments on YouTube below the videos.
Cheers, Richard

I have problems also trying to takeoff at OMDB.
Pushed back from stand B18 successfully but, when I started to taxi along taxiway A, P3Dv4.1 immediately entered an unrecoverable hang.
I then tried to start from stand A1 and this taxi out and takeoff was without problems.

Hi Martin, I have now re-videoed the OMDB arrival but instead, landed on rwy 30R without trouble. The only change made was to press the Reset to Defaults button in the FlyTampa Configurator and then reset the parameters to my choice of enabling everything. After the abend, I was able to successfully...

I have now had my PMDG 777-300ER crash on P3Dv4.1 twice at the same location on approach to runway 30L at OMDB. This is during attempts to produce a video of the landing for YouTube. Luckily this means that I have the evidence. Please see the end of the video at http://youtu.be/ar7E7ssouPQ on my You...
