Just a heads up if you haven't noticed it

 

 

Well found this on web read below no wet runways or tarmac – also rolling cloud shadows only work if its raining on my rig – water animation is not working unless you 100 ft above the water

 

 

 

Scenario
You open P3D v2.5 at the menu you choose your settings, weather, etc… start the flight, its raining and no wet runway. 

Solution

 

Disable the startup menu on startup, restart the sim and within the sim create a flight. Now you should have wet runway effect. 
or just change you p3d.cfg not to show start menu…..

Please note this issue did not exist in v2.4 and I hope somebody can forward this to LM to get fixed.

You can log the issue on LM's forums -- they do read them and listen.  For best results provide exact steps (lots of detail) to duplicate the issue.  No mention of this in the 12945 hotfix.

 

Cheers, Rob.

Thanks Rob all ready done

This was already mentioned here: http://www.prepar3d.com/forum-5/topic/v-2-5-aircraft-texture-dullness/page/2/

Beau said it is probably related to the texture issue because runways use default bumpmap.

As he also said the issue has been resolved in their internal tests, i believe it will get fixed with hotfix 12945.

Excellent - thank you
