Love your work Henrik! Thank you so much, I lost somehow the track of all packages (aware of the first page here :-)) any chance of one big package one day?

 

Some other things, some wakes still are flickering, even with new wake effects....

 

Example Vortex with fx_wake_haa_vortex

 

some are still using the fx_wake_1 which flickers also

 

Example Caravelas

 

Some ideas or hints?

 

Thanks!

In my experience, the add-on works just fine in V3 and the performance impact is negligible. Make sure you use the fixed P3D 2.5 effects. The only issue I've noticed is that the "fx_wake_haa_orla.fx" file still causes the vertical wake issue, if it happens in your case, just delete the first two occurrences of:

TempK=109.00
TempRate=0.01

Tym

Where are these located?

Hi Jason,

You find them in the effect folder in the effect fx_wake_haa_orla.fx - you can edit with notepad. If you are not familiar with the process - make a backup first, but it is simple. Search "TempK" - you will get several lines - just delete the two you see above. The corrected file text will look like the one below.

Best regards

Henrik

Thank You!

Important information from Rob for your work, p3d v3.1, it looks really good with new water effects!

If you want boat/ship wakes following 3D waves (and you have NOT installed the Content.msi, Client only), you'll need to adjust those wake*.fx files for any 3PDs content beyond or wait and hope 3PDs adjust their FX files and release an update.

 

in ...\Effects\fx_wake*.fx for every [Particle.x] entry you need to add Ground Decal=1

You can also do the same for any 3PDs custom ships/boats wake effects, but you'll have to find them and adjust them.

Thanks for the tip but what is content.msi for? Is it an optional install, what does it add?

Hello,

have an problem in P3Dv3.1:

some ships getting wrong, the Fix for wakes to P3D is installed, the most ships are right,

but:

Hi - this is typically caused by changing plane during flight or after start-up from a saved flight.

Hi

If everything is correctly installed this problem only relates to the ship AI_Orla (and repaints of this) - for the solution check post #573 above.

Hi McDaniel,

Thanks for pointing to this :smile: I hope to install P3Dv3.1 in the next coming days and then I will take a look at it. News from P3Dv3.1 on the ships are mixed - improvements include improved wake display and that the ships move with the waves. On the negative side some ships have been seen sinking with water settings at extreme... But all in all I believe the update has a great potential for ships in P3D, but to take advantage of it might mean a lot of work - just the small addition to the effects that you indicate means checking more than a 100 effect files each consisting of up to 12 - 14 particles... And each file has to be tested properly afterwards... Count 20 minutes per file minimum...

Thank you for Help:

i´ve corrected the   "AI_Orla" -ship and this error is gone!

Hey Hendrik

I tought that it will be time intensiv, do you have something like a test enviroment to do that? No stress here, love the ai ships as they are now!

 

Thanks again

Found something interessting. The Berge-Fjord-Tijuca starts sinking, flips up to 90 degrees and sails backwards to the coast of Istanbul.

I guess you run P3Dv3.1 with water at ultra setting? There is a problem with certain ships if you run water at ultra. Some are litterally thrown out of the water.... Others are just sinking... The water also creates problems for some pilotable ships due to increassed drag. We are looking into it but for the moment the solution is to turn down your water display settings a bit.

You are right. Just turned water down to high and problem is gone.

 

Happy new year to everybody!!!
