I have P3Dv4.5 on my hard drive. It's great when it loads...but it takes for ever to load, then for ever again to load the scenario! I'd like to move it from hard drive to ssd, can I do this without uninstalling from hard drive then reinstalling to ssd?🤞. Don McIntyre

Hi John. Do you use Oculus debug tool or Tray tool with Open XR Toolkit, or are they not necessary? Don.

I play tennis. My wife and I play a mixed doubles match every Monday, I organize a men's four match every Wednesday, and every other Friday I play a singles match with an old workmate colleague, and I mean old - he's 76 and I'll be 80 come June! But we still play a good game, can't stop now or probably wouldn't start again! Tennis and flightsimming, it's a good life! Don.

Hi All. Simple question: Which Community folder should I install to for MSFS Addons: C drive...AppData...etc, or D drive where MSFS is installed? Hope there's a simple answer - thanks for advice, Don.

Can I make scenario changes in p3d5 vr without removing my (Quest 2) headset? For example, if I complete a flight in vr then want to select, say, a different airport or aircraft, or go into options, I cannot get to the scenario settings bar without removing my headset, making the changes, then replacing my headset to continue in vr. In p3d4 I use Flyingside, where you can get into menu settings and make changes while staying in vr...but can't use Flyingside in p3d5. Any help/advice please? Don.

I'm trying to load the PC Pilot UK Tours flight plans into MSFS. When I go into Load/Save in MSFS World Map the flight plan successfully loads, and shows on the World Map. When I click Fly to start the flight I'm taken to the flight plan departure airport. However, when I start the flight, and open the VFR map it shows my position, but no flight plan track. I thought maybe I need to save the flight plan when it shows on the World Map - but when I go to the folder which I downloaded the flight plan from...it is empty! Any thoughts/help please...if the flight plan shows on the World Map, why not on the in-flight VFR map? Don.

Thanks Doug. I've done that now...wasn't sure that this is a "headset" discussion, Don.

Members 666 Location: tunbridge wells, kent, uk Posted 5 hours agoHi All. I have P3D4.5 and P3D5.2. The only reason I'm keeping P3D4 is that, using Flyingside, I can get a moving map - Little Navmap - in my VR cockpit. But Flyinside doesn't support P3D5. So...anyone got a moving map in their P3D5 VR cockpit? If so, help please, Thanks, Don.

Well, it may not be the same left and right...but Streamlabs OBS and Adobe Premiere have done a pretty good job in making it look identical to default mesh! Don.

Couple of questions: How do I turn off POIs in MSFS? I've read somewhere in the Forums how to reduce the sun glare in MSFS - it's so bright! Can't find it though, can anyone help please? Thanks, Don.

Can't see much difference...should I go to SpecSavers? Don.

Hi Doug. Thanks for this. It does the trick...but download speed is awful. I have fibre broadband, 35 MB/s...excellent signal...speed checker shows download speed 35 MB/s. But...download speed when installing My Products into P3D5.2 via Central is 5 MB/s - max!. That can't be right - it'll take weeks to get everything into P3D5! Any suggestions please? Another query. Presumably My Products lists only those that are compatible with P3D5? Eg, I have Hammerfest in P3D4.5, but it doesn't show in My Products for P3D5. My Products P3D5 does show Other/Global/Airport Pack...so this is presumably ok for P3D5? Thanks for your advice, Don.

Ok All, some great advice - thanks very much, Don.

Hi All. I've just installed p3d5.2 to my 2TB HDD, and will be installing p3d4.5 soon. I guess I'll need to defrag the drive from time to time... Which defrag program to use? How often to defrag? Thanks for advice, Don.
