Prepar3D 2.2 Released!

[ChaoticBeauty 6,692]

30 miles. further seems to impact but is hardly visible.

 

I'm pretty sure 12.000 miles was the maximum in Prepar3D 2.1 so that sounds really good.

Yes, but suggest you backup your scenery.cfg (\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2) and after patch install and deleting those 4 directories copy the scenery.cfg back ... go into P3D 2.2 - Scenery and hit Ok to rebuild indexes.

 

so do we delete the directories before the patch install or after the patch install?

 

its a little unclear

Did you delete these directories before running a patched 2.2?

 

%PROGRAMDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2

%APPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Prepar3D v2 Files

 

Cheers, Rob.

 

Your post should be a sticky in the P3D General Forum. The 2.2 installer really should do this for you and save the old versions of the folders.

 

I haven't really noticed too much different in 2.2 except for the cloud shadows (which are sweet), but then again, I never got any OOMs with 2.1.

 

But that said, this is the "mature" release of P3d V2. If anyone is considered switching from FSX, this is the time to make the jump.

If you are a developer, the Developer licence. If you are a K-12 or undergraduate student, the Academic licence. If you are a graduate, the Professional licence.

Judging by the silence in the P3D forums I daresay people are trying the new version. Not interested in FPS, more interested in hardware usage and fluidity, now that OOMs appear to have been controlled.

Cant wait to try it myself later tonight!

Most reports suggest that Prepar3D 2.2 is indeed much smoother, especially when turning or panning.

That is very good news.

With the lower cloud shadow draw distance selected (not zero but 6000 m)) I am finally getting shadowed out sun effects inside the VC while under or in  a cloud

Yup still a stuttering nightmare.  Back to FSX and DCS once again.

Rob I had problems with the patch , but when I deleted the files you recommend it worked.

Now what programs do I need to re install?

I cannot find Accusim anymore

ASN doesnt work

What about ORBX and REX?

[Arwen 289]

motoadve, you need to get today's ASN update beta for P3D v.2.2

[RWFeldman 159]

It also sounds as though you lost your DLL.XML file. FSUIPC, Accusim, ASN btstrap etc. I made a BU of it a reinstalled it and as Arwen states, you need to update ASN.

its a little unclear

I was thinking the same thing...it looks like after? Can somebody confirm?

[Qatsimo 7]

Better back-up first, then delete those folders before applying the patch.

Because you might need entries from the exe and dll xml's afterwards, or

scenery entry's from scenery.cfg
