December 11, 201411 yr Hi, have the latest ver 1.2.0.11 installed and can't get P3D to show the effects that are available with precipiyfx. It shows the default rain and snow. I have tried un installing and the re installing to no avail. I have tried this with the weather themes in P3D and with ASN it just crashes the sim. Any help would be appreciated. When I run the installer it does everything it should. When I check rescan for aircraft, the little blue bar does its thing and the installer working but greyed out. There is another message that says precipit fx installer task has completed. The installer still says woeking with the little blue bar going around and around. The only way to stop this is to click ok. I do that and everything disappears, the installer and the message box. When I start P3D I still have the default rain and snow Thanks Nelson

Can you both confirm that: The installer hangs after clicking "ok" on the "Task Complete" popup and that the rain / snow textures aren't installed in P3D? Other effects aren't installed on P3D The effects are installed on FSX if you have it installed. Thanks Keven Menard Technical Director, //42.
December 12, 201411 yr Author Hi Keven, thanks for the reply. After clicking ok on the task complete pop up both the installer and the task pop up disappear. If I don't click ok the task pop up boc and the installer remain on the screen. The installer says working and the blue bar just keeps scrolling. All I can say is the effects of rain and snow appear to be the default p3d ones. I do not have FSX on my system. I have tried installing with the FSX check boxes unchecked or checked. No difference. Any other ideas?? Cheers Nelson
December 13, 201411 yr I had the same issue. What worked for me was selecting uninstall. Closed then opened again and selected all because I have both sim as well, and that got it working on both. Hope it helps Follow me on : Instagram See my Trailer: A Year Of Flight
December 13, 201411 yr Author Sorry tried that several times and I still don't have the effects Nelson
December 13, 201411 yr Commercial Member Sorry tried that several times and I still don't have the effects Nelson Hi Nelson, Sad to hear it's not working for you. Do you have a file called "RainA.bmp.fsfx_PFX.bkp" in your P3D "Texture" folder? Thanks Keven Menard Technical Director, //42.
December 13, 201411 yr Hi Keven, May be it can be helpful to Nelson, I found 8 folder as"RainA.bmp.fsfx_PFX.bkp" in Texture folder. Is it correct amount?? Ahmet Sanal "Time you enjoyed wasting, was not wasted"
December 13, 201411 yr Commercial Member Hi Keven, May be it can be helpful to Nelson, I found 8 folder as"RainA.bmp.fsfx_PFX.bkp" in Texture folder. Is it correct amount?? Yes, there are 8 similar files named that way, that means the installation was completed successfully. Can you share some screenshots with us of the results in P3D? Thank you keven Keven Menard Technical Director, //42.
December 13, 201411 yr Author Sorry guys I have all 8 files in my p3d texture folder. When p3d is launched I still have the default rain and snow texture Thanks Nelson Hi Is there any proof positive way when looking at p3d to tell that the textures are indeed being shown. As stated I did see a difference when I first installed the program but since the update of 1.2.0.11 I am back to the p3d original textures. Nelson

December 13, 201411 yr Author To be honest I'm not sure what texture I am seeing or if the prorgam is showing the right textures Nelson
December 13, 201411 yr THis is suppose to be REX ESS+ OD textures and ASN weather engine. REX ESS in FSX excellent but P3D totally different. I dont know why??? Ahmet Sanal "Time you enjoyed wasting, was not wasted"
December 13, 201411 yr Commercial Member From what I see, you have the latest textures installed. You might want to take a screenshot before and after to see the difference. Keven Menard Technical Director, //42.
December 14, 201411 yr Author Hi, ok success Don't really know what happened, here is what I did. Deleted the 8 files in p3d texture folder. Ran the installer and it said a new ver was available so I downloaded it. The ver is 1.2.0.13. W ent through the motions and ran P3D. As soon as I put the snow effect on I noticed the difference right away. Tried the rain with the same results. Any way it is working now and looks good. Thanks to all that offered help. Much appreciated Cheers Nelson
