Thanks for the suggestions guys, hopefully now I'm able to upload a photo and it last longer than 20 seconds! Here is the re-posted image! If your eyesight is just about good enough, you'll see that on XP11, I was radar vectored for the ILS 27L approach at EGLL, but the radar controller and tower forgot to mention they'd done a runway change and I was flying straight into outbound traffic! Look for the landing lights at the threshold of 09R and another on a 4 mile final - after a 6 and a half hour flight from KEWR, I wasn't about to eat into my reserve fuel for AI traffic

Really sorry guys. That really is my last straw with photobucket now. I'll re-upload tomorrow through a different photo sharing site!

Don't worry I understand now. I believe 10,000ft was set as a constraint at a waypoint in the FMC meaning the VNAV profile wouldn't go above unless the constraint was changed to an above or deleted. So it was still in path because it's worked its climb path out based on the constraints in the FMC.

What's the maximum file size Joe? Tried uploading them to fs-snaps only to be told my files are too big
-
Perfect, thanks. If they could get that working it'd change the whole dynamics of the sim. Not very realistic providing your own separation and aircraft departing from 09R and 24L!
-
Great shots - love the sky package you've got there!
-
Nice one, thanks Joe!

I get that a lot, how do you get rid of it!?

So seeing as my P3D seems to be tech until at least November 14th, it seems only appropriate to give XP11 a fair chance and decide which sim I prefer. (Sorry XP11 fans, it's still P3D for me!) I've recently bought a few addons to try and make my XP11 experience as realistic as possible. Unfortunately the ATC massively lets XP down in my eyes. In these shots you'll see XEnviro, Flight Factor B757 pro and World Traffic. I must admit the FF757 is 100x better than the PSS B757 available on P3D. Almost everything is clickable and it's a close representation to how the aircraft actually flies - give

Nice shots! Looking forward to having a go when it's released on P3D and when my sim becomes operable again! Quick tech question - might be a 787 thing, but I noticed you were level at 10,000ft with a target altitude of 12,000ft but it was still in VNAV PTH. Surely it'd be in Alt Hold, or VNAV ALT?

The Jokes topic (Do not enter if easily offended)

Have you heard about the brand new car just unveiled in Portugal today? Apparently it's got so much boot space you could fit a small child in there. They're calling it the Renault McCann. -
Thanks for all your help though, I'm either hoping for a short term fix, or just wait until November for the latest updates.
-
Yeah on this forum topic now, just uninstalled KB4038788 without luck, guess I'll have to wait until November 14th for the next windows update with the bug fix. I agree it's not P3Ds fault, but the amount of crashes I've had over the years with various flight sim versions do make me question why I don't just stick to real world flying!
-
Hi Joe, Many thanks for your response - unfortunately this hasn't worked for me I've now gone about uninstalling my last two addons, effectively restoring P3D to a place where I knew it worked. These being the iFly 747 and Level D 767. Will advise, but I'm beginning to think a computer restore might be the next course of action! Why does flight sim always present so many issues!!

Last Air Berlin Flight Performs Un-Announced Fly-by

Turns the FACs off you can pretty much do what you want with her! -
Hi guys, Unfortunately over the past month or so, something has happened to my computer (maybe a background update) that has stopped my version of P3D working. It'll load as far as the opening screen but won't proceed further than that without a crash. I'm reluctant to do an uninstall/reinstall as I've got a few addons from various sites and can't remember which ones I've bought from! Annoyingly, I'd just purchased iFly 747 and was hoping to test it out so any tips or tricks to get it working again would be great. I appreciate this post is pretty vague but unfortunately my computer

Just a few shots as I try and get accustomed with XP11. Delighted that XP11 has a button which sets the key commands to default FSX commands! Much better! Haven't downloaded any addons just yet other than Gatwick and a Boeing 767 (not working ) but I couldn't help but admire the natural beauty of this sim without any addons. Runs so much smoother than P3D as well - 35fps over central London and whilst doing circuits at LHR! Won't be long before I jump ship completely!

Hi guys, As those of you who saw my last screenshot post on here might have noticed, I've been itching to get my sim to look as realistic as possible. It's not 100% there yet but it's definitely on the right lines. I've literally sat up all night watching youtube videos and tweaking .cfg files and downloading programs.. Here are the results Aberdeen departure at dawn FL280 And my favourite one... Thanks for looking - any more tips on how you all get your sims so crisp please do let me know!

OHi guys - As previously mentioned in other posts - I'm back on flight sim forums. Previously I was ChrisE at JustFlight if any of you came from there a few years back and have the memory of an elephant! Anyway - I thought I'd reintroduce myself with a few screenshots from my ongoing flight at the moment LGW-INN. Currently using P3Dv3 and my computer seems to run P3D very nicely indeed so if there are any tips or addon suggestions to get it looking top notch please let me know in the comments below. Thanks! After departing Gatwick 08R.. just past Maidstone

All solved now! Looking on youtube it seems there was a font missing with Windows 10 which Windows 7 had enabling the FMC to work properly. All I got was black screens and now I understand why! For future reference should anybody else have this issue - download the 'latha' font, extract it to desktop/documents as you please, right click and hit install. Solved my issues, hope it solves any one elses as well!
-
Thanks Mutley, just tried the new installer - restored some functionality of the FMC at least, but now I get complete aileron deflection at random points. Think it might be time to go back to the Aerosoft bus!

Hi guys, I stupidly bought a few addons last month for my P3Dv3 without checking that they actually work within v3. I've got scenery issues with Skiathos, Barcelona and Amsterdam sceneries - for which I'll post for help in the relevant forums. This post is about the Quality Wings 757. When purchased it said it would work on P3D but didn't specify which version. After installing it into P3Dv3 I can't get any of the FMC functions at all. I'm just left at a blank ident page. Obviously with this being the case (and bearing in mind this isn't the 60s so VOR/NDB tracking isn't ideal) I h

Cracking ground scenery there - love the cloud shadows!

Beautiful! Which weather engine do you use for those clouds?!
