P3D v2.1 Hotfix Released

[Dillon 2,198]

Lockheed Martin has released a 22.3 MB hotfix that addresses some problems raised by Prepar3D V2.1 users, particularly issues related to addon aircraft (such as night lighting, sunken tires, etc.). It is a list of 49 DLLs plus the Prepared.exe (all located at the Prepar3d main directory). It is advised to backup all these 50 files because they will be overwritten with the new ones.

 

Like I said before all legitimate issues raised will get addressed. Sitting back watching the fireworks from users knowing full well this sim is in active development is interesting to watch. LM has been way more supportive with support than we've ever got with Microsoft (Aces). It's like pulling teeth with little wiggle room to get some to embrace, be patient, and work with LM to get things right (a rock solid platform for 98% of users out there with a margin of error as some will always find some kind of fault with the program). There is life after FSX even though it's hard for some to accept... Thanks LM for the continued work on making this effort the best it can be and moving our hobby forward into the future.

How is the autogen distance issue on your end?

Can someone confirm exactly which add-on aircraft have been affected in 2.1 thus requiring this hotfix? Or is this hotfix mandatory for all us 2.1 users??

[RWFeldman 159]

I wouldn't say it was mandatory but it diffidently fixes issues with many aircraft.

I see a great difference for Milviz B737 and QW 757 - both ACs no longer eat up the VAS memory !

 

Well done !

You noticed that also. 5 hrs into a QW757 flight VAS steady as rock. Even the AB Ext doesnt consume VAS any more!

I am still a little apprehensive about transitioning from FSX to P3D, but Dillion has a good point that the big difference is that LM is paying attention to users feedback and are putting out patches in a timely manner. It will be interesting to see where P3D will be by year's end.
