No progressive taxi


Recommended Posts

Posted

Just started trying out DX10 and thanks for all the info put on this forum.

I love the increase of FR's and I've been trying the demo of ConverterX - for me this has cured the 'no textures' on AI aircraft ( very important for me). One thing is I have no progressive taxi, either with the default DX10 or with converter X. Not a big problem of course but is there any answer to that?

I'm running a rather tired i7 960 @ 2.65 and a GTX 285 so I can't expect too much. Thank you.

Make sure the arrows are not out behind you, Cattz. This will happen if you're pointing 180 deg away from the gate. The arrows are also all red - there's no yellow part. If you installed Steve's self-installer package (v3.0.0) the arrows are there.

I have the same problem. In my case, it is because I installed Flight 1's Ultimate Terrain X. Those new textures hide the progressive taxi path. My workaround is to change the view using "S" and then cycle to an aerial view using "A". The progressive taxi arrows are visible in this view (I need to zoom in a bit to see them).

I have UTX installed and the red arrows definitely show up (I had a picture but the Oz site was hacked and they have shut down service). Make sure UTX is located just above Propeller Objects in your Scenery Library.

Thanks Paul, No definitely not there. I have Steve's package although not sure which file to click to install and is it OK with Converter X?

Nothing to do with the Converters, Cattz... The installation is, basically, unzip it to a temp folder, and dble-click on the setup.exe. It does the whole thing automagically, including the deletion of the cache folders.

 

As your ShadersHLSL are partially modified you'll probably need to put the original ShadersHLSL folder back first, then run the setup program. We have a link to the default folder on this forum (somewhere....) I'll dig it out if you need it. OK? :smile:

I had this issue on an off and also use UTX Europe but the ZIP that Paul refers to from Steve works a treat, also comes with a readme on how to install. Simples.

 

Or you could just look at the taxiway charts for your airfield and/or the taxiway signs.... #justsaying

Thanks again Paul,

You must realise now that you are helping an old fart by the fact that I could not see a file called 'set up' !! and that the ReadMe didn't get read!

If converterX has changed the ShadersHLSL folder then, yes please, link me to an original version.

:LMAO: So, as one old fart to another old fart - it's here

 

and the Shader mod, itself, is here

On DX10, I can only see progressive taxi from top-down view.

 

Make sure the Shader3 fix is installed properly. It will not work with the default DX10 preview. You must install Steve's Shader fix.

 

Best regards,

Jim

Many thanks.

All done, installed and working great. ( you can't miss those blood red arrows at night, can you :lol: )

Well, that depends on how much of an 'old far't you are when it comes to eyesight! :Big Grin:

 

But you would be pretty hard pushed not to see the red arrows at anytime not just a night. So many pun references to be had there too, so little time....
