Excellent Chris! Been waiting for this Should I uninstall and reinstall the latest version? *cheshire cat grin*

[Chris Bell 165]

yes sir, uninstall is a must first!

make sure you read the manual,

[STUART_H 12]

I can't see on the links provided how one can get the free upgrade. I can't recall where I purchased the original version from. How can one obtain this upgrade?

 

Stuart

[Chris Bell 165]

Hi Stuart,

there is no way to obtain this update other than through the same channel you originally purchased it through;

this is a brand new FULL VERSION with a new installer (even though it’s called an update!)

either way you will need your original user name and key to run the new installer

[STUART_H 12]

OK thanks, Guess I shall need to do some more investigation to find where I purchased it from. Problem is I have recently built a new machine and unfortunately have lost my previous purchase emails etc. Might be able to recover them somehow.

 

Stuart

Didn't take long, found it in my JustFlight.com account. Yeah!.

MMM dont do it from flightsimstore.

 

Its still the old file and after waiting too long for the Germany update.

 

Heres my email to them :-

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Adrian,I couldnt believe my eyes when I read about the update for Night Environment British Isles you emailed out the day yesterday.

Yes I thought ! that's real service for you. I thought you'd mended your system after not informing us about the Germany update.
 

Even better, you'd actually informed us before Aerosoft had on their update forum. Brilliant !

 

So I uninstalled and downloaded . . . . . . it hasnt been updated at all has it ?!? That another 3.0Gb bandwidth down the dunny!
 

I think that email should have been informing us about Germany don't you ?. Believe me my grandfather who fought in the second world war would not agree that Germany is part of the British Isles cos we actually won the war. Perhaps if we hadn't  then we would be included in the German update ;-(
 

Please try to iron out whats going on here.

All written in a light hearted manner of course if any of our German friends are reading

 

Chris on a more serious note. Now I uninstalled British Isles 1.1 waiting for the 1.7 version, I note Germany 1.7 disappeared from the configuration program leaving me with just France/Paris configurable.

 

Hopefully it will return when I get the new British Isles update.

Graham

[Chris Bell 165]

Germany should only disappear from the list if you uninstalled it!

if its not showing up; try running your NEGR v1.7 installer again pls

[Jimm 437]

I got an email about the product this morning, but I don't own it so what's the deal there?

 

-Jim

[gsumner 0]

No deal Jim,

 

Thats flightsim store way of getting you to buy it I guess.

 

I got one yesterday about a new ORBX product release

 

Graham

 

Chris,

 

Re-installed Germany and it returned to the configuration program.

 

FSS assure me new British Isles files are there now so ill download em

Chris,

 

There is something about the night view of British Isles after the update that make its seem less real than before. :-(

 

The streetlights now look like yellow dots instead of lights and because of the ground splash it almost makes the picture look blurred. Thats the only way I can describe it.

 

In the original release i used base , level 0 and level 2 to build my lighting. With V1.7 im using the preset default. This is my setting for France which seems fine. Can you suggest anything I can try.

 

Also I was hoping to find the rustic option which I particularly liked in France but Im now thinking that was available because France is V2.0

 

Seems a step back just at the moment but lets see what we can do

 

Graham

 

EDIT

After much tinkering Ive tried everything but i just cant get it to look as good as v1.1 im not sure what the answer is. You'll have to list everything you've changed so I can help you find out what is spoiling the effect at least for me. Maybe its because the ground splash is as bright as the lights themselves which makes me think I have double vision when flying at night.

 

At this moment though the wow factor has gone. Sorry I know that's not what you wanted to hear.

 

Graham

[Chris Bell 165]

Graham it is not possible that the lights look less good then before, that’s just ridicules

do you exhibit the same effect with other v1.7 or 2.o regions?

 

sounds like something got messed up in your sim,

try reinstalling DX10, and flush your scenery index,

 

you don’t need to tinker much with v1.7, pull all sliders to max,

if it’s too much; inch back one click on the yellow slider,

[gsumner 0]

Im making progress finally.

 

For other readers dont forget to re-run dx10 fixer. I think thats the reason they looked like dots instead of lights and slide those yellows back.

 

Much more testing to do.

 

Maybe Im expecting to much after France but as I say the rustic setting seem to make things seem less perfect which is actually better if you know what i mean.

 

Graham

[Chris Bell 165]

Thanks Graham,
the rustic feature is designed to do exactly that; make things less perfect in realistic way
many of these features you see in France general section will be added later on in v1.8
this will give you similar controls found in NE v2.0 General section, with features like...

 

adjustable 3D light bawl size, 3D Light Brightness adjustment to sets the intensity of the selected 3D light ball; as well as our new star light 3D light ball,
Volumetric Lighting (P3D)/lateral (FSX) a light beam reflecting downward and through objects from each 3D light ball
as well as Cars Light Beam feature which adds a double light beam to all car traffic below,

and possibly more enhancements
