Matt, your contributions to the flight sim community are beyond measure. Just purchased a copy of PTA and can't wait to fly off into my own Michael Stack-esque skies. I hope you will be in Las Vegas in June. So many of us would like to meet you! Cheers!
I may be still on P3d V3 but when i make the jump to V4 which i am planning soon this will be at the top of my to buy list. Matt this is amazing and i cannot wait to see what you have in store for the A380 and Simstall. I will support you and your team every step of the way you deserve it!
Recently bought PTA for V4 and i'm thoroughly impressed with it the amount of depth you can enter into creating the perfect graphical preset is amazing. I would have to say money well spent.
Hi Matt, finally got p3dv4 working and have purchased PTA. I strongly recommend it and will pass that along when I start making videos again after the beginning of the year. Cheers! Dave
I'm going to come out and say I downloaded PTA at first (illegally). BUT I bought it the same day because damn... It's just amazing. It's not just tweaking random stuff, it actually enhances the whole sky "feel" (if that makes sense). I'm using orbsx everything and active sky + asca for p3dv4 and everything looks soooooo good! Big big respect to you and the team for making this!
Many thanks to Matt for all his help with some issues I experienced with this software. I have not tried Matt’s solution yet but am very grateful for his support.....
Matt, I purchased PTA and your offering is excellent. I wish you great success with this program. I would suggest a 25 percent price increase. PTA is excellent and under priced.
Ok, so my comments are on an old video. I just hope you drive this program forward with vigour. I have the best scenery, the best weather, the best textures and finally, I have the perfect manipulation of that environment. You and your colleagues have hit on something here. I wish you great success with this Matt and Co.
Just want to say thank you so much for making this wonderful tool available to P3D v4! I am so grateful for your effort. You've done an absolutely stunning job bringing this tool to support v4. Don't bother with all the negative comments on avsim. It's always going to be complainers and people spreading negativity. Keep up the good job. Purchased PTA on the day it was released. Can't fly without it :)
I hope you're going to continue making more videos Matt. You're the best flightsim youtuber I know :( I check everyday for a P3D V4 settings guide from you lol, I literally switched to it from FSX:SE after watching your videos
You are the reason I started with flightsim! I bought PTA the second it got out! Thanks for the hard work, definitely appreciated! Also hyped for the A380, cheering for u there! :) Cheers from Norway ;)
So impressed - whipped out my CC just now...curious as to whether or not we need to have URP in order to make this work properly? I have it, which in part led me to this and the purchase decision.
Thanks for this Matt. I have just bought it. As I have mentioned in previous videos of yours, transferring to P3D on 19 October after my birthday hols. Slowly adding my new software!!
I have been using it for past several months and I must say to all those new to PTA, Get It Now... it's a must have add-on for P3Dv4+... changes in quality from default is mind blowing...Sometimes I don't even use the Rex 5 Sky Force 3D and it still makes PTA looks AMAZING...
Honestly looks incredible. Will be purchasing very soon. Good luck with the A380 as well, as that's gonna be a long journey. Will be worth it in the end!
Great video Matt, believe it or not I've never used PTA, I have purchased it for V4 but just haven't been able to make time to use it ... not to mention it's highly likely HDR will go away and be replaced by PBR at some point so all these PTA adjustments are likely to go away.
Hi Matt! great product. I'm still having trouble getting everything black at night. Can you tell me what I need to tweak to get a pitch black night. I don't want to see clouds or mountains just city lights.
Hey Matt, great video and promotion for PTA. From whst I see I believe this will be a success. I have been only a FSX simmer for many years. Purchased FSW, but won't be going down that road. So it will have to be either XP11 or P3D4 - not sure which as yet but leaning towards P3D4. If I do P3D4 then for sure my initial add-ons will have to be FSUIPC5, ChasePlane, AS and it now looks like PTA as well.
I've been trying this over the last few days and I can't see any difference at all. The only preset that does seem to change anything is the Thopat one but that one constantly goes from light to dark and back to light again. Also,, that screenshot comparison at the start is utterly useless because it isn't comparing the same thing.
Clearly I am, I just don't see what I'm doing wrong. I remember using reshade on FSX (and other games) and the improvements were huge but can't seem to get any improvements with PTA. The fact that P3D is installed on my D drive wouldn't make any difference would it? I'll a look on AVSIM and try some of those
Hello, I have FSX:SE, I haven't done anything to it or don't have any scenery add ons. My graphic setting in the sim are all maxed out, but my PMDG 737 cockpit and ground textures look shitty, especially in the cockpit? Any reasons to why??
Well done Matt with making this a even better program. You do so much for the industry with your videos, etc. No justifcation was necessary as those who knew you already trusted there was a good reason for you having to charge (but l did enjoy you putting the. 1% of knockers back in their place). From the 99% of us, thank you for this and all your videos. And really well explained. Thanks again.
Good on you for keeping PTA alive and well.......and for the record, it deserves to be payware....and you deserve to be paid for your investment and hard work with it. Which company said "complexity simplified?"
Hi Matt, just a quick question, I am going to get PTA it looks absolutely amazing. However, for my Cloud textures i plan to get Rex Sky force 3d, i already have Rex Texture Direct, so how i do inegrate both of these together? One provides cloud textures and the other provides grass, airport and other textures. Thank you :)
Very nice Matt, looking forward to using this tool. Thanks for doing the video, will help out a lot for someone like my self who haven't used PTA before. :)
Matt can u please do a video on flying a robin dr 400 aircraft and depart from preswick airport then do a little flight around the area and arrive back to preswick reason being I just done my first ever flight lesson there
So is this kind of like REX4 texture direct and soft clouds? I recently bought it for FSX but I have been seriously contemplating switching to p3d v4. My only problem is buying new aircraft like the PMDG 737 and 777, as well as the 747 in the future. (I also own the QW 757 and Aerosoft Airbus but they are compatible, just waiting for p3d v4 compatibility).
hey Matt, great video! Do you mind to tell is the add ons you use? Is this software going to help us really with the complications of cfgs and settings?
Hi Matt...I also have envidir and evenshade (I think that's it) and I was just wondering if your PTA setting conflict with these already installed? I like yours but I just want to make sure your PTA are what I am actually using and not necessarily the other shaders. Thanks!
Hi Matt I was wondering if could leave a flight request it may be a bit different for you but if you could would you fly the fslabs 320 from EGAC-LEPA? Would love to see belfast city on your TH-cam!
I get an error message after installing PTA V2.6 into P3d V4.1. It says the shader files are not the originals?? How do i get those without reinstalling??
This will definitely come in handy. Just bought V4 so it's necessary! Btw could you do a video on how to use a FMS? I have very little knowledge with it and now that I am getting more airliners I really want to know how to use it. Thanks!!
Hi, I did like this in the video and gave these errors: Applying preset E: \ Add on prepar3d V4 \ PTA \ MattDavies1.3.ini ... ERROR applying preset: source file E: \ Add on prepar3d V4 \ PTA \ SHADERS_BACKUP \ General.fx not found ERROR applying preset: source file E: \ Add on prepar3d V4 \ PTA \ SHADERS_BACKUP \ GPUTerrain.fx not found can you help me ? thank you
Hi Matt. Not sure if you've had this problem but after installing PTA and using your config ECT P3D v3 continually crashed after loading. Once rolled back to the original P3D settings it appeared to be okay. Any ideas at all as to what could be causing the issue?. Thanks Owen
Hello Mr. Davies will it be possible to buy stuff over simstall via Paysafecard ? that would be great because i dont have a creditcard and no paypal accound because im 17 years old it would make it easier to buy addons for flight simulator for me.
congratulations on your new investment Matt. Is your own preset on this the same as the one you've used in your previous videos what Mr Meebs created? i'd love to try it :)
Am i blind or doesn't their website tell what the price for PTA is? Seems like you only can get to know what it cost if you create an account first and login?
Hi matt , do we need a running system similar to yours to get FSX looking as good as yours , i have windows 10 64 bit operating system 16.0GB RAM , Radeon R7 4 core , supposed to be pretty good ,cost me me $2.500 Aussie dollars , I maybe talking for majority or average flight sim enthusiast here in terms of what we spend on a PC , mate do i need to update to something similar to yours before spending $$ to make it look better and smoother ? , love watching your vids,everything looks wonderful , i mimic your stuff but can never get it looking like yours
I just made this purchase and I am looking forward to some wonderful eye candy in my sim. I have had some performance issues lately so if you have any advice or assurance that this won't impact fps too severely that would be much appreciated. I recently upgraded to 4.3 so I am working through some bugs. Thanks kind sir!
i would like to buy it right now as i just watched it . but i really need a trial , because i don't have a powerful system . i don't know if it will make any differences for me or i will be stuck due to my graphics limitations ! need help . thanks
I have Ultimate Realism Pack installed already and it looks great. Just purchased your PTA.. Looking forward to install tomorrow. Do they integrate together? Also what P3D Graphic settings do you recommend. I use Ultimates right now..
I think its a new way of business for esp based stimulators. It is extremely difficult to believe that LM lacks skilled software developers who can optimize the sim on release. Probably the sims these days are intentionally made not to function at its best so that 3rd party developers come in correct what could have been fixed by the developers and LM gets a cut. I'm not sure if its happening but is certainly doable.
V3 is available free on the simtweaks website when you make an account, V4 has required a lot of investment and work from Matt and the team and it is quite right that Matt charges for the new version. In my opinion, the fact that he has offered it for the reasonably low price of £15 is very generous and so is offering V3 on the website aswell.
Well I did not know that story behind it in the first place because I dont watch his videos regularly and I dont follow him on any social media. To the PTA software. Well £15 is fair price but you know to me it seems buy this, download this, download that, copy this, copy that. I think that some automatic installer with presets would be the best option. It is still £15 for something like enb which is for free.
Prepar Matt Davie edition. Is that the version that that dude who bought pta and has now purchased lockhead martin and is developing real world aircraft???
I got it right after I received the announcement. I am happy to recommend it anytime. Great product!
Matt, your contributions to the flight sim community are beyond measure. Just purchased a copy of PTA and can't wait to fly off into my own Michael Stack-esque skies. I hope you will be in Las Vegas in June. So many of us would like to meet you! Cheers!
I may be still on P3d V3 but when i make the jump to V4 which i am planning soon this will be at the top of my to buy list. Matt this is amazing and i cannot wait to see what you have in store for the A380 and Simstall. I will support you and your team every step of the way you deserve it!
If matt continues like this he will be an absolute legend in the community very soon
Malufiba he already is
*pulled*
If he releases a GOOD A380. He would become a god for me :P
Recently bought PTA for V4 and i'm thoroughly impressed with it the amount of depth you can enter into creating the perfect graphical preset is amazing. I would have to say money well spent.
Whenever I see one of Matt's videos, I stop doing whatever I'm doing and watch it. Keep doing what you are doing Matt, and keep up the good work.
A comparison of with and without PTA tool would have been a lot better.
Hey Matt don't worry about not uploading because when you do upload its well worth the wait
Hi Matt, finally got p3dv4 working and have purchased PTA. I strongly recommend it and will pass that along when I start making videos again after the beginning of the year. Cheers! Dave
Thank you for showing off PTA Matt! Cheers!
I'm going to come out and say I downloaded PTA at first (illegally). BUT I bought it the same day because damn... It's just amazing.
It's not just tweaking random stuff, it actually enhances the whole sky "feel" (if that makes sense).
I'm using orbsx everything and active sky + asca for p3dv4 and everything looks soooooo good!
Big big respect to you and the team for making this!
Just purchased a copy, thanks for the great work you're doing to help us make eye candy! PTA is the icing on the 64bit P3Dv4 cake. :D
Many thanks to Matt for all his help with some issues I experienced with this software. I have not tried Matt’s solution yet but am very grateful for his support.....
Really appreciate the work you put into our community Matt, Love you bro.
Matt, I purchased PTA and your offering is excellent. I wish you great success with this program. I would suggest a 25 percent price increase. PTA is excellent and under priced.
Ok, so my comments are on an old video. I just hope you drive this program forward with vigour. I have the best scenery, the best weather, the best textures and finally, I have the perfect manipulation of that environment. You and your colleagues have hit on something here. I wish you great success with this Matt and Co.
@@jonss1948 maybe you should buy a few copies and give them away, instead of him upping price!!!!
I really like how you can finally get those sunny ground textures that look like real life instead of the bland blue depressing P3D textures
Thanks Matt, ignore the negative comments. Your explanation made perfect sense.
This has changed my entire sim experience, cheers Matt!
How do you put the sun light reflection into the cockpit ( VC )???
Just want to say thank you so much for making this wonderful tool available to P3D v4! I am so grateful for your effort. You've done an absolutely stunning job bringing this tool to support v4. Don't bother with all the negative comments on avsim. It's always going to be complainers and people spreading negativity. Keep up the good job. Purchased PTA on the day it was released. Can't fly without it :)
This tool is literally one of the best tools you can buy for P3D... Hands down!
Great Product Matt! I am surely going to buy it in the coming days! Good luck for your journey ahead!
I hope you're going to continue making more videos Matt. You're the best flightsim youtuber I know :( I check everyday for a P3D V4 settings guide from you lol, I literally switched to it from FSX:SE after watching your videos
Wait... you made this? I'm proud of you! Great job. And if that A380 feels like an fslabs... im gonna hit the roof!!!
All of the projects you are working on sound amazing
i didn't even buy it yet but i cant wait to try it, it looks like a great tool! Great job Matt !
You are the reason I started with flightsim! I bought PTA the second it got out! Thanks for the hard work, definitely appreciated!
Also hyped for the A380, cheering for u there! :)
Cheers from Norway ;)
So impressed - whipped out my CC just now...curious as to whether or not we need to have URP in order to make this work properly? I have it, which in part led me to this and the purchase decision.
Great to see you again. Hope you are fine
Once the NGX, Orbx Airports and Active Sky are fully supported into P3Dv4 I'ma jumpin ships and grabin me a copy of this sweet PTA :)
Thanks for this Matt. I have just bought it. As I have mentioned in previous videos of yours, transferring to P3D on 19 October after my birthday hols. Slowly adding my new software!!
I have been using it for past several months and I must say to all those new to PTA, Get It Now... it's a must have add-on for P3Dv4+... changes in quality from default is mind blowing...Sometimes I don't even use the Rex 5 Sky Force 3D and it still makes PTA looks AMAZING...
Yum! Pudding. Where can we buy that, it's not on the website?! :P
you got every right to be proud of ur thing...Great job brother
Best tool for P3D V4!! I'm very happy with the results. Ones again you help my sim to look great. Thank you very much Matt. ;)
Honestly looks incredible. Will be purchasing very soon. Good luck with the A380 as well, as that's gonna be a long journey. Will be worth it in the end!
Great video Matt, believe it or not I've never used PTA, I have purchased it for V4 but just haven't been able to make time to use it ... not to mention it's highly likely HDR will go away and be replaced by PBR at some point so all these PTA adjustments are likely to go away.
By far the best tool. Had it in v3 and when getting v4 done, I HAD to come back to PTA. Folks, use this tool!
I've always been flying FSX. But this is gonna make me switch to P3D! What a stunning tool! Great work!
Great work Matt. Really appreciate the amazing work you've done!!! Thank you once again!
who is Matt?
Just bought it. Thanks for all your hard work!
Hi Matt! great product. I'm still having trouble getting everything black at night. Can you tell me what I need to tweak to get a pitch black night. I don't want to see clouds or mountains just city lights.
Hi Matt its me Gorrila245 from your stream. Just like to say love the videos really well done mate.
Thank you for the work you have done for this community Matt.

Isn't the P3D v3 version free? If so, where can I buy it?

Hey Matt, just registered and bought this, fantastic, keep up the great work.
Matt I've been having trouble with my account and finally sorted it out so I figured I would comment and say I love your videos.
Good on you for keeping PTA alive and well.......and for the record, it deserves to be payware....and you deserve to be paid for your investment and hard work with it.
Which company said "complexity simplified?"
I just want to say thank you for resurrecting a program that would have been dead if you didn't come along! Couldn't deal without pta!
Hi Matt, just a quick question, I am going to get PTA it looks absolutely amazing. However, for my Cloud textures i plan to get Rex Sky force 3d, i already have Rex Texture Direct, so how i do inegrate both of these together? One provides cloud textures and the other provides grass, airport and other textures. Thank you :)
Hi matt how can i get the exact sky texture amd colors you get? I tried with pta but still i can't get it..please give details
Very nice Matt, looking forward to using this tool. Thanks for doing the video, will help out a lot for someone like my self who haven't used PTA before. :)
Looks great Matt, another great idea made a reality. Where would we be able to download these presets from?
Hey, Matt, I love your work. But I have a question. Can you do a flight with the Swiss 777-300ER from KLAX/KSFO-LSZH on P3D?
Matt can u please do a video on flying a robin dr 400 aircraft and depart from preswick airport then do a little flight around the area and arrive back to preswick reason being I just done my first ever flight lesson there
So is this kind of like REX4 texture direct and soft clouds? I recently bought it for FSX but I have been seriously contemplating switching to p3d v4.

(I also own the QW 757 and Aerosoft Airbus but they are compatible, just waiting for p3d v4 compatibility).
Just want to say that u did good by getting me to buy PTA and then messing people over after you took their money. Way to go.
Thanks Matt, purchased and installed, all good and looks great.
Thanks mate, regards Paul
hey Matt, great video! Do you mind to tell is the add ons you use? Is this software going to help us really with the complications of cfgs and settings?
your .ini file is no longer available
Thanks Matt. Looks like a great add on.
Thanks Matt for doing a well-done video on this.
Hi Matt...I also have envidir and evenshade (I think that's it) and I was just wondering if your PTA setting conflict with these already installed? I like yours but I just want to make sure your PTA are what I am actually using and not necessarily the other shaders. Thanks!
Thanks Matt.. one question. In the notes above you have a link to URP. In this video is URP also installed?
Thank you sir.
Hi Matt I was wondering if could leave a flight request it may be a bit different for you but if you could would you fly the fslabs 320 from EGAC-LEPA? Would love to see belfast city on your TH-cam!
Hi Matt actually I have some issues with pta
I have some error message on the Log section:
Error: Shader file
Thanks
Hi Matt, why you've stopped doing videos like your beginning?
Tommaso Rossi because lack of time and also youtube is slowly dying.
Can you do a PMDG Swiss 777-300ER flight on either FSX or P3D?
After hitting the Restore shaders button, do I also have to hit the Apply settings button again?
Hello Matt, I wanted to ask whether PTA synonymous with single PC operation with 3 projectors is sinful?
What version of P3D should i get. Ive been wanting P3D for along time but not sure which one i should get for home sim use.
I get an error message after installing PTA V2.6 into P3d V4.1. It says the shader files are not the originals?? How do i get those without reinstalling??
Matt, you are a credit to the flightsim community!
on my PTA its showing the error: " Problem with patch #0 - Null original block." when I try to apply the changes... can anyone help?
Looks amazing, any idea when it wil come to Simmarket? Can't wait to buy it
Matt Davies Oke, thanks for the reply :D
This will definitely come in handy. Just bought V4 so it's necessary! Btw could you do a video on how to use a FMS? I have very little knowledge with it and now that I am getting more airliners I really want to know how to use it. Thanks!!
MD88Pilot many aircraft have their own style fmc. What aircraft do you want to learn to use?
BaconFat Studios I am going to be in a 717 737 777 CRJand a few others but those for now.
Hi, I did like this in the video and gave these errors:

How do you create your lower thirds and the animations for them?
Hi I just wonder FPS , stutters with your setting from pta
Which PTA do you use in this Video? Is awesome.
Hi Matt.
Not sure if you've had this problem but after installing PTA and using your config ECT P3D v3 continually crashed after loading.
Once rolled back to the original P3D settings it appeared to be okay. Any ideas at all as to what could be causing the issue?.
Thanks Owen
Hello Mr. Davies will it be possible to buy stuff over simstall via Paysafecard ? that would be great because i dont have a creditcard and no paypal accound because im 17 years old it would make it easier to buy addons for flight simulator for me.
Can you use PTA with ENVTEX? Can you use the a reshade also without conflct?
congratulations on your new investment Matt. Is your own preset on this the same as the one you've used in your previous videos what Mr Meebs created? i'd love to try it :)
Bosh
Am i blind or doesn't their website tell what the price for PTA is? Seems like you only can get to know what it cost if you create an account first and login?
you can google it: www.google.co.uk/search?q=pta+for+p3d+v4+price&oq=pta+for+p3d+v4+price
Matt what textures do i need to use to obtain your same sky colors?
Hi matt , do we need a running system similar to yours to get FSX looking as good as yours , i have windows 10 64 bit operating system 16.0GB RAM , Radeon R7 4 core , supposed to be pretty good ,cost me me $2.500 Aussie dollars , I maybe talking for majority or average flight sim enthusiast here in terms of what we spend on a PC , mate do i need to update to something similar to yours before spending $$ to make it look better and smoother ? , love watching your vids,everything looks wonderful , i mimic your stuff but can never get it looking like yours
thanks matt! just in time for moving from FSX to P3dV4
I just made this purchase and I am looking forward to some wonderful eye candy in my sim. I have had some performance issues lately so if you have any advice or assurance that this won't impact fps too severely that would be much appreciated. I recently upgraded to 4.3 so I am working through some bugs. Thanks kind sir!
i would like to buy it right now as i just watched it . but i really need a trial , because i don't have a powerful system . i don't know if it will make any differences for me or i will be stuck due to my graphics limitations ! need help . thanks
I have Ultimate Realism Pack installed already and it looks great. Just purchased your PTA.. Looking forward to install tomorrow. Do they integrate together? Also what P3D Graphic settings do you recommend. I use Ultimates right now..
Anyone know where I can download the preset that was used in that BA 747 screenshot? Once again Thanks for doing this Matt!!!!
I think its a new way of business for esp based stimulators. It is extremely difficult to believe that LM lacks skilled software developers who can optimize the sim on release. Probably the sims these days are intentionally made not to function at its best so that 3rd party developers come in correct what could have been fixed by the developers and LM gets a cut. I'm not sure if its happening but is certainly doable.
Wasn't the PTA software for free? In one of your older video there was link to it and I have downloaded it.
V3 is available free on the simtweaks website when you make an account, V4 has required a lot of investment and work from Matt and the team and it is quite right that Matt charges for the new version. In my opinion, the fact that he has offered it for the reasonably low price of £15 is very generous and so is offering V3 on the website aswell.
Well I did not know that story behind it in the first place because I dont watch his videos regularly and I dont follow him on any social media. To the PTA software.

It is still £15 for something like enb which is for free.
Matt bought your product... unable to get activation key to work... thanks
Prepar Matt Davie edition. Is that the version that that dude who bought pta and has now purchased lockhead martin and is developing real world aircraft???
Matt Davies likewise
