Bookmarked this one! I know I'll need to refer back to it often over the coming months and new addons. A truly proper tutorial. Top work!

Probably the most useful flight sim video I have seen in years. Bravo Matt and Thank you!

Good to have you back Matt!!

I was waiting for this video for awhile. I formatted my pc and reinstalled p3d and was waiting to install scenery until p3d might come up with v4.5 but couldn’t wait to fly to other places other then Orbx scenery. Saved this videos for later watching.

The smile i get when matt uploads 😆

Tremendous tutorial. I will definitely try to structure the folders this way next time I reinstall P3D

The LOOOONG waited video 😜😜 Thank you for the great video again ;)

Another great informative video! I love these more ‘sit down and talk/discuss stuff’ videos! I’ve been wondering lately, how’s the a380 coming along? Obviously if there’s nothing to really share yet, I understand, but I was just curious is all. Hope it’s all going as expected. Looking forward to your next video!

Thanks for the tip on Stop 10. I have the Stardock fences but I didn't know about Stop 10. Very nice! 👍

Matt over here flexing on us with his NASA super computer build.

Great video Matt. Yes, would love for you to do the video on networking. 👍

great video, helped me a lot with organizing my flightsim folders.

Hi Matt, great to have you back with us and thank you for all the hard work that you put in to these vids and streams. One question on this vid; I already have any number of add-ons installed into my SIM, in the normal manner, usually sitting in the 'core', although some recent ones have been installed into the/an add-on folder. Is it possible to move stuff out of the 'core' and into the add-on dir, then ref using a 'xml' (?), or do these add-ons need to be re-installed to the add-on folder then create the xml's to load (or not, atcmb) I am guessing that just moving them might screw up the registry (?), thereby stopping future automated updates as our chap below here suggests. Cheers, Steve

Thanks Matt. You are in good form, good to hear you so.

Awesome video Matt

You called it a game, oh boi, watch out Matt :P

Third! Just another fantastic video, which I'm sure will answer a lot of peoples questions! Thanks Matt! 👍😀 BTW is your desktop Wallpaper 'private' or is it available for the public to use as well? 🙂

Huge contribution to the F-Sim community, thanks Matt

Great info... thank you, Matt!

10/10 tutorial, should pass it onto the UK Government, they need this amount of organisational skills right about now xD

i would love to see you do a video on this topic for xplane.. Thanks, great vid

Could you do a video on your PC setup and what you would recommend for people looking to get back into simming? I'm not even sure if I should go for XP11 or P3D and a need to assemble an entire PC system from scratch ... a video of this sort would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry Matt. What about Orbx scenery’s (openLCs etc) would these go into the default P3D folder ? Thx

Very cool tutorial!

I wouldve loved a similar video for XP11 :)

Hi Matt...can you do a vid on FSUIPC and how to configure controls in respect of different aircraft going from c172 to say the 737...cheers

Nice video!

I had to like before watching

Hey Matt, thanks for the video. Just wondering how to go about moving some of the 'heavier' addons (specifically payware aircraft) out of the P3D root folder. Is it really just as simple as moving them out or will I face other issues relating to the Windows registry? Thanks!

Thanks Matt. Quick question around your cloud settings within Active. What do you set Min&Max cloud draw distance as I see in P3d settings in shows 110?

Helpful video, thank you. Do you have a "dummy" install so that you catch where installers are placing things? It seems like any update to 3rd party stuff would make new work for you. I do like the method and will try it out.

Hi matt .. when I click options in the main start screen the sim don't response then it leave automaticly .. what should I do ?

Continue with videos and your Play Button will arrive sooner than you think ;)

Thanks help me out. Would a network tutorial and or Chart and FP reading tutorial. Good work as usual :)

Morning Matt, have you tried the add-on xml for majestic Dash 8. I get it coming up as an add on but no aircraft are on the vehicle list.?

Hi Matt. No need for BVAi folder if you have FLAi I do not think! & I use Lorby Addon Organizer to layer the sceneries correctly like all airports above Orbx. The Organizer adds an entry in each add-on.xml called Layer and a number.

Hello matt question regarding THE FS some say to louck the frame on 30-40 FS in NVIDIA inspector BUTTER than to keep it unlimited is that right or ? And 2nd VS and treble buffering if it is on in P3d should be off in nvidia inspector or in p3d off in nvidia on !!! Really confused 🤷‍♂️ abut all that i need one way to fallow that all

Hey matt if you using PTA how you have reflaction for the aircrafts hope for your answer please

Hi Matt I noticed in your settings you had FXAA turned ON. If I turn on FXAA my textures look blurred using a 4K monitor

Hey Matt I appreciate these, It would be awesome if you can make more P3D noob friendly videos. I've largely played X Plane and transitioned to P3D so I find it more difficult to get used to. Especially installing airports...

Awesome video Matt!!! Could you pleas repost the link for the config? THX

Here after Matt's pants moved in the Deadstick stream. Seems Matt's stick was not dead...

hi matt first of all thx for everything ,you mentionned 2 links i can t access to p3d config in your dropbox how can i get it cause i m gonna re install p3d,thx

Notification team is now present

My P3d has developed a bug of sorts , all the run way textures are messed up , houses are appearing on the airport and the sea has turned yellow . I have tried migrating the orbx scenery , uninstalling both orbx and a fresh install of p3d but it won’t go away. I even tried going back to p3d 4.4 . Please any help would be appreciated

Will you stream matt?

How do you install your orbx scenery and use it as an xml?

you are the man

Is there any chance the P3D config can be made available again?

Hello Matt.. Please where download pta saldo preset? thank you

Gonna watch it later. Anyone know does this video include a way to gain more fps any how?

Hi matt. I want to know how can I purchase p3d and download it?

could you pleas repost the link for the config? THX

Do you use gsync?

Rip Legend

5:20 Looking at you, ORBX....

Hey Matt, I downloaded project fly app on my PC, and I am having a hard time to connect it to my simulator which is FSX:SE, can you please help?? Thanks

you get 60fps with this?! I have a 2070 but paired with an i5-9400f... but 32gb ram. How do you get 60 in the pmdg 777? I get 30. Please help!

"Oh I called it a game" the way you said it, I'm sat here lollinggg

Hi Matt, is there a ZIP file you could link to this noting the structure you use. Thanks

Cpu and ram?

I have an AMD and I only get to 10 fps in the sim... i use FSX now

I saw that the likes were at 29 so i was like, hell yeah

If you are using REX4SC is rex5 worth it?

Cool

Hey guys i have got real Problem cause of those addons i am new at this sim i have installed P3dv4 before 3 months untill know i cant see my addons i mean when i open the sim i cant see my addons i want to buy GA aircrafts from a2a but how can i buy if i cant see my addons . Hope you guys help me

Mettar's logo is exactly like Warner Bros' back in 1972 , just flipped vertically. Not claiming anything besides that I am too old... (damn!)

It's all very interesting. However, please, it would be appropriate for you to enlarge the windows you show and to use a slightly larger font. In fact my eyes have struggled enormously to follow your explanations looking at what you did on the screen. Thank you

Get food and drink sit down like then watch :)

Please do an X-plane one fam.

This is a good video, but there are some nuances that should really be mentioned. I'm trying to build a setup where I can install P3D v4 on a formatted machine, fresh, and simply copy add-on.xml files into the my documents p3d addons directory and it simply adds / loads the lot. Some aircraft addons make this quite difficult, so I may well not bother with some addon aircraft as it can be tricky, but that still means I'm pretty much just installing aircraft, liveries (which you can largely automate in a similar way) and orbx. But with a blank install, you'll need to deal with SODE and things like GSX, that put their files in other places, such as the 'appdata' folders. Another thing to be aware of, FlyTampa like a number of other scenery developers, have applications that manage updates, seasonal textures etc. and to the best of my knowledge these management applications rely on the file structure the addon installs into. For example, all FlyTampa scenery needs to be in one folder for the FlyTampa-Configurator.exe to work. Same with the Flightbeam Manager FSDG-Scenery Configurator, etc. Also you need to be careful with things like the couatl updater, and SODE as well. This means if you strip them out and separate them, these configurators won't work anymore, so you need to create a similar structure outside of the P3D directory to allow this to be managed. Sceneries that are really 'standalone' are easy to strip out and create addon xml's for, some you have to be a bit careful how you strip out the scenery from the root folder of P3D. I've started to do this, some simply falls into the 'too much work for too little gain' category, but with the 40 - 50 or so sceneries that I've managed to get to work properly using this method, it'll save me literally hours of installation faff. Hope that's useful to others. Craig

Every single time I load in sim, oh lets change this!

Why dont you completely switch to XP11? its alot better imo

Matt, if you could write a utility that would do all of this for me automatically, I would pay good money for it. XD

Classic Shell does the same thing for free to look like Windows 7

Just adding my vote for a request for an XP11 version of this clever tutorial (many thanks!!). I've been using a similar XML approach for add-on *aircraft* in P3D (see www.nzfsim.org/fsx-p3d-tweaks/add-ons-outside-p3d-root/) but never got around to re-hashing my scenery, as I use Simstarter for that (call me lazy, but don't call me Shirley LOL)!

There's plenty of free programmes that restore the old start menu

Is the aerosoft a320 worth it?

Kekbox.... I'm fucking done. :'D

Or you get classic shell for a price of zero.

P3D....time to move on Matt from this....

Nice half minute intro
