ENGLISH I am very pleased that the development of PREPAR3D continues with version 6. If the SIMstarter will be compatible to v6 I can't say at the moment. This is mainly due to my availability for customization. How the new version should look then commercially, I must decide then. Fact is unfortunately that the user numbers for PREPAR3D go strongly downward and so it is also with the SIMstarter. If something changes in the current status, I will inform you here. DEUTSCH Es freut mich sehr, dass die Entwicklung von PREPAR3D mit der Version 6 weiter geht. Ob der SIMstarter kompatibel zu v6 wird kann ich aktuell noch nicht sagen…

Hallo Peter! Kannst du mir vielleicht sagen wieso ich trotz 5.4 Auswahl keine Plattform Auswahl im Beginn Menu habe? Muss ich irgendwo noch etwas löschen? Oder kann ich Simstarter "zwingen" mit einer bestimmten Plattform zu starten? Danke Gruss Peter SIMstarter NG.log.txt

Would love to know if you're any closer to providing a final answer Thanks JH

I know this seems a strange post but I'm struggling to understand why I have problems with P3Dv5.3HF2 when launched independently but not when run via SimStarterNG. I do this occasionally to check things so don't need all the extra programs running that SSNG gives me. But here's the mystery and it's got me beat. If I start P3D from its desktop shortcut (so no SimStarterNG) the sim will load but then the problems start. Specifically,,, 1) Under the Add-ons menu item the Check SODE DLL connection shows no green banner and message. 2) FSDT Addon Manager interface doesn't show. 3) ChasePlane internal views work but external ones d…

I use SimstarterNG for a long time. Today I closed the session, then started SimstarterNG again and I got on the selection screen only showing me P3Dv4, which is installed too. I tried a repair of P3Dv5, then reinstalled SimstarterNG, but this didn't help. I had deleted some empty directories for P3Dv2, which I don't have installed. Should not have deleted v5 things. What is SimstarterNG missing? How can I repair it? SimstarterNG Version 2.6.0 (rev. 28)

P3Dv5.4 on Windows 11 Pro. I'm getting this error when launching SSNG. I can't resolve it despite a reinstall. It appears connected to the Run module but I've disabled all except Prepar3d.exe Help please!

Hallo Peter! Ich wollte mal "vorsichtig" fragen wie warscheinlich ein Update auf den P3DV6 ist (zumal es ja schon wieder ein Patch gegeben hat). Vielen Dank Gruss Peter

Hallo Peter! Mußte mein Jeehell verzeichnis löschen und neu installieren. Leider findet dein Simstarter den Airbus von Jeehell nicht mehr! Haste ne Idee wie ich das wieder hinbekomme? Danke! Gruss Peter

Following the changes at NOAA for access to the data source the URL/format in SS settings should be changed: https://aviationweather.gov/api/data/metar?ids=%ICAO%&taf=true

Hi Cpt Pero, I've installed SimStarterNG and Active Sky P3D on a new computer running P3D v5.3HF2. In the Extended Settings Active Sky options the ActiveSky (ASP3D) ConFig1 Set is selected. In the General section of that screen Live is the preferred option. But when ASP3D is launched it sets the Historical option. If I run ASP3D independently it does set the option to Live. Why won't it work via SSNG?

Hi Peter, all, After having upgraded my PC with a new mainboard and new CPU, which now runs with 24 Cores (i9-13900k), I am currently making a fresh reinstall of Windows and all Simulator software. Within Simstarter, when I want to edit the Runtime configsets, an error message appears: "unable to read system cores". After that I can continue editiing the profiles, but when I want to use the button "use all Cores" the app crashes: "System.OverflowException: Die arithmetische Operation hat einen Überlauf verursacht bei Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Conversions.ToInteger(String Value)" Thanks for your help! Best regar…

Hi I'm setting up AS in the config runset manager. When I run SS, I get the AS dialog box asking whether I want to run V4 or V5. A long ways back I found a parameter used by someone to do this but cannot find it. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks, Mark

Hi, All my Add-On scenarios show up fine in the Add-on ConfigSet and are also reflected in the Scenery ConfigSets, with the exception of my ORBX scenarios. They refuse to show up in the Scenery ConfigSets. However, the ORBX libraries do appear (OpenLC, Libraries, etc). Am I missing something? Thanks for your help! Best regards, Andy

Hi I've disabled DiffManager in settings. In order to make changes to prepar3d.cfg, do I do that In SimStarter directly as usual or can I make the changes in the sim and just import the .cfg into SimStarter? Thanks, Mark

Hello, First of all, great piece of work! Since using SimStarter NG P3D, each time I set "Use system time for Default Scenario" in P3D v5.4, somehow it's reset to default showing a 2020 date. Inside SIMstarter, in SimConfigSet menu, it shows a (Set in Fligt Control Center), even this option is set to "ON". Question 1: where is the "Flight Control Center located"? Question 2: once simstarter is running, should I close it (avoidin RAM usage) or just live it running on the back? Greetings, Andrés

Good news: PREPAR3D v5.4 is out now. Since I am very busy at work right now, I can't manage to create a supported release. Therefore I plan to create an unsupported alpha scheme with which you should be able to start P3Dv5.4. An official release will unfortunately take a few weeks due to holidays and work. German: da ich beruflich gerade stark eingespannt bin, schaffe ich es nicht ein supported release zu erstellen. Daher plane ich, ein unsupportes Alpha Schema mit dem man P3Dv5.4 starten können sollte. Ein offizielles Release wird leider einige Wochen dauern.

I'm a newby in SIMstarter. I've read the manual but some questions are still in the air. Please someone explain to me the following paragraph: 2.2.6 PARKED AIRCRAFT SIMstarter NG P3D saves the position of each aircraft when it was airborne and all engines are switched off (at gate/parking). A note appears in the simulator window that the position has been saved. I want simply save one of the default aircraft to be my default flight in order to load the A2A Bonanza or the Blackbird KA350i. Thanks for your time Regards Heron

This is something I didn't expect from this software. I've read the manual and learned that the simulator options are changed by the user, or am I wrong? Yesterday I made my first flight with SS and didn't tweak any display, world or lightning options, nor any other setting, and I know pretty well where are all those numbers tweaked by me during many years. I use EA with volumetric clouds at ZERO, slider at full left. Yesterday I could start P3D from SS, but not today and I opened another post to ask why. So I started the simulator without SS, and for my surprise, as soon as I was airborne, I saw that the clouds were somewhat different. So I went to options a…

Yesterday SIMtarter could start P3D normally. Today, I press the Run Profiler button, check the ATIS, it goes to Step 11 (skipped) and goes back to Flight Control Center. Would you mind tell me what could happened in less than 24hs? I did no touch anything because I am a newby. I tried only to set a starting position. Thanks for your attention.

Hi there, will there be an update for the new version of P3D? Always happy landings Volker

Hello So far I used SimStarter NG for my older my older P3DV4.4 installation (for some unknown reasons I was not able to update to 4.5 ...). Now, I finally installed P3DV5.4 and purchased the corresponding SimStarter version. After installation it opens the Update Manager. The update also seems to work, but when SimStarter starts up I only get a small window saying "Please select platform" but there is option to choose and no way to get SimStarter start up at all. I found some tip on this platform to add line in the simstarter .ini file, but it doesn't help. My .ini file has only two lines (platformCount and languageFile). Adding a line "chec…

Hello everyone, Following the update of P3D to version 5.4, can we reasonably expect an update of SimStarter NG in the next few days?... Sincerely Jean-Luc
