I've recently purchased the new pre-release AS A330 pro for P3D v4.5. Now after a couple of lfights I started to encounter the issues that I'm having at the moment. This issues is that when I load into and fly the 330, P3D doesn't take any keyboard input at all. For example, it doesn't accept native P3D keyboard commands such as Q to mute, it won't even let me Alt+Enter to fullscreen. But here's the thing. This only happens while I'm loaded in with the 330. I've tried with multiple different airplanes, and this only happens with the 330. I've also made sure to run P3D and all apps linked to it as admin, I've tried a different keyboard, and tried uninstalling and installing both keyboard drivers and the P3D client.msi.
3. If you have specific software running which interfaces with your keyboard, then it will run as Administrator if you are running P3D as Administrator. Incidently, clients for online flight sim servers and clients for voice servers (or any other software you consider running while P3D us up and running must also be run as Administrator. Please let us know if this resolves the issue?
The new hotfix update appears to fix a number of issues that caused intermittent stuttering and performance drops, along with some atmospheric issues. These two issues have been somewhat prevalent in many forums and social media groups, so seeing this fixed will be positive for the community.
I installed the latest updated version of P3D 5.3 which now includes the latest Hotfix update (I believe 5.3.15.2831). Previously I had 5.3 without any hotfix installed. This was the first time that I did a "segment download" so I followed the LM Updating P3D v5 instructions to the tee.
--It looks like you downloaded the complete 5.3 version and have that located in a separate folder. To incorporate only the latest hotfix into your already installed ver. 5.3, all you need to do is first uninstall the "Client App" through your Windows 10 Uninstall Feature. Once that is accomplished, then "Open the Install_Client.msi" and run that installer. Once Client is re-installed, then do the same Uninstall\Install procedure for the "Scenery" as done for the Client App. Again, you can find these specific instructions within the LM Download and Installation instructions section "Updating PrepareD v5". To the best of my understanding, Content does not need to be updated for this latest hotfix so I did not touch Content.
Installing 5.3 (prior to the hotfix):I unzipped it to a temp. folder and then ran the P3D main exe. installer and followed the directions. I installed 5.3 with my antivirus program temporarily disabled to prevent any false positives & I nstalled 5.3 in the same exact location as 5.1. The installation process went without any problems and for whatever reason, I did not have to delete any shader folder(s) or anything else prior to starting up version 5.3 for the first time.
Pay very special attention during the install to make sure the updated client is being installed in your specified P3D install directory. In my example, everything defaulted in just as it should have.
The Flight Simulator Prepar3D v4 has a modular structure, it consists of client, content and scenery. All three modules can be installed, uninstalled and updated separately. While the client module is the core of Prepar3D, the content module contains content such as aircraft, instruments, weather, effects and much more. The scenery module contains the basic scenery of the simulator, i.e. the terrain and the airports.
Usually it is sufficient to update only the client module of Prepar3D v4. Content and Scenery do not need to be updated in most cases. So we download the appropriate program for the installation from your Prepar3D customer account.
Since the old client (Prepar3D v4.2) has been uninstalled, we can now install the new client just downloaded (Prepar3D v4.3). Therefore we are looking for the new installer and run it. The installation will then be done automatically.
After the client update from Prepar3D v4.2 to Prepar3D v4.3 it is urgently necessary to update numerous add-ons accordingly. Here is a short overview of how the updates for the most popular products work:
Altitude, your new pilot client arrives with support for all current flight simulation platforms. Development is still happening and new features will keep being implemented and pumping. You can also count on a new and realistic web-based method to send your flight plans. This brand new Pilot Client allows flight simulation programs to connect to the IVAO network using the following simulators:
The downloads page has been updated with the new version with this fix. The new version is 5.3.15.28131 as opposed to 5.3.15.28130 which was the original hotfix. Only a client update is required.
