Hello Julian, It's great to see you following in the footsteps of many a flight simmer my friend! I agree with Mathijs, CFD will be a great tool for this and many other flight sim learning opportunities! I am in the process of establishing an Aerosoft CFD Captains Group, and these guys will come from different time zones and there should be one or more of them online to fly with fairly regularly. They will be able to teach a lot about flight planning, flight planning tools, flight monitoring tools, how to find, use and understand charts, operating our Airbus, and flying on VATSIM, and so much more. This will be more of a community than one time thing, with special CFD Group Flights, closed meetings with key people in flight sim, etc. We already have six volunteers for the Captains program, who are all very experienced Airbus drivers and VATSIM pilots. I'll begin working with in the very near future, and we will hopefully launch this (make available for Aerosoft Airbus customers) sometime in September of this year. In the meantime, I recommend you get a good Charts package, go through them, and use Google for anything you don't understand. Flight sim at this level comes close to matching the real world, so any flight sim or aviation related websites and videos (of which there are a TON) not only apply, but will be very helpful to you. I hope this proves helpful to you my friend!

I believe that would be something for the FSDT team to look at, but you can always add the rear loader yourself via GSX. Best wishes!

I could not agree more! It's not mentioned very often, but the reason that airlines work to keep their aircraft clean is far more than how they appear. Clean aircraft save a great deal of fuel across the fleet when compared to dirty aircraft, so the cleaning helps the airline save money! I believe that aircraft developers should produce clean aircraft, and the repainters (who do terrific work) can add a dirt layers later on. One of the best repainters in our community is Steve Drabek, and I'm sure we'll see some nice repaints from him!

Yep, the "Otto" pilot works exceptionally well on Case 3 landings! All kidding aside, excellent landing my friend!

That is incredibly strange. Okay, how about uninstalling the Frankfurt scenery, and do the Airbus install again (thankfully, it only takes a few minutes). By the way, I just wanted to make sure that you are restarting your computer after each uninstall and reinstall (regardless of the software)?

Most welcome my friend! Just remember that we don't support this airports with P3Dv4. Again, Best Wishes!

There is no correlation between the scenery and aircraft files, so I can't explain why this happened (if that was the cause, I'm betting it was something else). Please clear your P3D Shaders (see post below if you're not familiar with doing this) and retry. https://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6306&t=130460 If that doesn't work, then you might try uninstalling and reinstalling the Airbus. Please be sure to do this with P3D not running (just in the past few days we've had two different people install things to P3D with P3D still running, so that's why I'm mentioning this), and disable you're computer security and run the installers "As Admin". Please let us know how you make out? Best wishes!

He did! Best wishes!

Then I would say you're doing pretty darned good with your processor base being only 3.4GHz and Turbo at 3.9GHz. If you notice frame rates getting worse during a flight then that might well be due to Heat issues, and you might consider adding a water cooler. The sweet spot for running P3Dv4+ with payware airliner is a processor running at 4.2 to 4.3GHz. I run mine at locked at 4.5GHz. Best wishes!

Which software do you use for AI Aircraft, and which weather textures and associated resolutions?

Are you using add on liveries done by third parties? If so, how are the frame rates using our liveries (the ones that came with the product) verse add on liveries done by third parties? Also, I would change your frame rates to unlimited.

This is a long standing ESP related issue, though I've not experienced it in a great long while. I'll keep an eye on it, and thank you very much for the report!

By the way, that's a terrific processor you have there. It's the same one I run (well, I have a 4770k that should have been a 4790k, I seriously won the processor lottery when I picked it up). Thanks to that processor, I still don't need to build a new system. But I will when the new batch of Intel processors comes out. Best wishes.
