Prepar3D 3.1.2.15831 released

[hesynergy 67]

Just installed the Client update, took 5 minutes.... simply uninstalled the 3.0 client and then installed the 3.1 client...

 

Only played a few minutes, no issues to report, running great, but main take away:  OH MAN those waves are fantastic when you kick up the wind!!!  Tried 35kts and my jaw dropped.  Very impressive.

I haven't 3.0->3.1, yet....but can you imagine flying over the sea with ASN REALTIME, during the next hurricane?

 

...MmmmuuuuuuuuHAaaaaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I installed the 3.1 Client only and like what I see.  Water improved for sure. On reading this helpful thread will no doubt do the same with Content. Thanks.

 

So far only one things appears broken: Flight1 GTN 750. Anyone else got this problem? 

 

Cheers,

Very nice, now I also installed the content and all(!) my autogen is gone, both trees and buildings. Thank you for this wonderful idea to also replace the content, now I can download FTX Global and everything that has something to do with autogen again.

 

EDIT: my bad, switching regions in FTX Central brings all the autogen back. I do not understand why, but at least...

Next time I do not listen to such "tips"...

 

As with everything you read here, you use your own judgement and accept the risk of the unknown.  I've decided not to install content as it'll add no value for me.  It's unfair to lash out at people who are sharing their experiences in good faith.

Hi gents,

May someone kindly confirm issue below being solved with 3.1 update? Thanks.

Although I preached patience to those who were worried or nervous about the update, I never said *I* would be waiting. Here's my experience.

 

Now that's what I call a helpful post!

 

Thank you!

Mike

Same issue here. I can't use GTN750.

We are waiting for Flight1 Tech to update their installer ( and configuration program ) for the latest update of P3D, They are pretty quick at keeping up to date, 2 or 3 days.

Is the UIAutomationCore.dll fix still required for ver 3.1 to avoid CTDs due to repetitive menu access?

 

Then I checked through the Prepar3D.cfg tweaks I've been using in P3Dv2.5. Anyone knows if any of these are still required/recommended?

 

[Main]

AlwaysFullLoad=1

DisablePreload=1

FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.10

 

[sIM]

OPTIMIZE_PARTS=1

 

I know someone said no tweaks at all are needed in P3Dv3.x but since I know these things are often dependent on what hardware you're using I thought I would still ask. This is what my rig looks like:

 

6700K @ 4.6 GHz

1x980 Ti @ 1300 MHz

16GB DDR4 @ 3000 MHz

48" 4K screen

Win 10 Pro x64

P3Dv3.1

Hi Richard :-)

 

No, you don't need to mess with it anymore.

 

Merry Christmas :-)

I have zero tweaks Richard.  I know A LOT of tweaks, but I've only ever used them for testing ... I always return to NO TWEAKS as that works best ... given your hardware, that should work best for you also (in V3.1).

 

Cheers, Rob.

Sounds great, thanks to both of you and Merry Christmas :smile:

This was never required in Prepar3D.

OK, I took the plunge and updated the client software from 3.0 to 3.1. P3D appears to be running fine, but I am not sure that the water is all that much more convincing. Do I need to remove the REX texture set that I was using, return to default, and then select a REX texture set again? I backed up the default textures first, so that will not be an issue.
