Lockheed Martin Prepar3D installation instructions of compatible sceneries. For scenery compatibility go here.

The straightforward compatibility between our FSX sceneries and Prepar3D is due to the intrinsic commonality of the two simulators and the fact that our FSX sceneries are designed using FSX SDK tools only. Consequently, all our FSX sceneries that were designed to for FSX in DirectX 10 preview mode work well in Prepar3D v4 and Prepar3D v4. Some minor issues relating to special illumination effects do exist, so a new set of special effects are available that resolve most of the issues.

Unfortunately, most of the installers for the FSX version of our sceneries were not designed to work with Prepar3D, so the installation folder must be entered manually because the installers will not recognize the new simulator and are unable to suggest a valid one. A link to download a set of step by step instructions to help you work around the installer limitations is provided below. Please note that there are two special circumstances: 1) The installers for our most recent sceneries, KLAXv3 and KSNA, are designed to work with both Prepar3D v3 and v4 so the installation instructions below are unnecessary. 2) The installers for CYYZv2, KSEA and KCLT were designed to work with Prepar3D v3, so you will only need to follow the special installation instructions if you want to install them in Prepar3D v4.

Minimum hardware requirements

• Intel Core i7 or better (Core i7-950 @ 3.07GHz fully tested)
• 4 GB RAM (fully tested)
• nVidia GeForce GTX 970 series* video processor or better (nVidia GeForce GTX 970 fully tested). Dual current-generation nVidia* or ATI video processor in SLI or Crossfire configuration may be required for best performance when dense Autogen and weather features are in use (2 X nVidia GeForce GTX 970 in SLI configuration fully tested)

Note: No significant frame-rate degradation was observed in full-screen mode when using the hardware specified above as “fully tested”.

* BluePrint Simulations sceneries are designed and tested using nVidia GPU’s exclusively. For Current generation video card specifications visit http://nVidia.com. For ATI video card specifications visit http://ati.com
