Hello I have this problem that to make ?

 

click Don't Run. That is until Orbx comes out with their update for 3.2

But that doesn't make any sense no?

Content isn't really updated then ? If backing up existing folder then overwriting after content install?

 

Cheers

Mike

Those folders being backed up are just precautionary. I don't think it actually makes any changes to Effects or Autogen. You'll see the difference when you open a menu.

I also see the some are uninstalling scenery and installing 3.2 scenery. Doesn't this mess up any add on scenery you may have like UT?

So I'll back those folders up ?not overwrite after install of content ,and run p3d should be fine?

Don't know about UT but I have read after installing Scenery you need to run FTX Global again so you may need to reinstall UT. I would check the Flight1 forums for that info.

I overwrote them after the install based on advice from others in this thread. It seemed to work fine whether I overwrote the files or just left the new ones there. But I would say to be safe put those backed up folders back into P3D after installs. Did a full flight last night and had no issues.

Thank you very much for your help much appreciated.

Anyone know why they pulled the ASN update?

 

Can't fly without decent WX!

Post screenshot in a minute - its pretty basic but serves me well - even with NI off not seeing any fps benefit anyway at least on my rig

 

 

Thanks Richard.  I am new to P3D and it was previously a shimmering mess with some jaggies.  With these settings it looks great.  Would you mind also posting your P3D settings in sim ?  thanks!

I took the plunge this afternoon and installed the client as well as the content update and compared the files before and after the installations to determine what is changed and what one has to do so that all add-ons work properly after install.

 

Client update

 

When updating the client, apart from the core P3D files, the installer only updates files in the ShadersHLSL directory. This also affects files from PrecipitFX so a reinstall of PrecipitFX is also required when updating only the client.

 

Content update

 

Here comes the more interesting part. I compared most of the files in the following P3D sub-directories to identify the changes made by the content installer:

 

../Autogen

../Effects

../Fonts

../gauges

../ShadersHLSL

../SimObjects

../Scenery

../Sound

../Texture

 

And this are the findings:

 

Autogen

The content installer does replace the autogen definitions. However, to restore them you only have to run FTX Central and switch regions. That’s it. No need to backup the Autogen folder.

 

Effects

The installer will replace a lot of the effects with newer files. Nothing is deleted. So I would recommend doing nothing as copying back an old backup of Effects would replace the newer files by older ones. Only thing you need to do is reinstall PrecipitFX to get back these effects.

 

Gauges and Simobjects

The installer does a couple of changes to the default aircraft. However, none of the add-on aircrafts is affected.

 

Sound

Some wind sounds are replaced. I would assume that if you install REX sounds then they will be replaced again.

 

Texture

The installer replaces a lot of the texture files but does not delete any additional files put in there by third party add-ons. This means you definitely have to reinstall your REX textures (after they have provided the required update for 3.2). Also if you own Airport Graphics HD you need to reinstall this. That’s it.

 

Other folders are not affected. So in a nutshell what you need to do after updating the content is:

 

1. Set a region in FTX Central to fix your autogen files
2. Reinstall PrecipitFX
3. Reinstall REX textures
4. Reinstall Airport Graphics HD

 

So no need to backup and copy any files! And also no need to reinstall FTX Global! Hope this helps…

Yeah I didn't find it under downloads but I found the download link in their forums.

That makes much more sense.  Thanks Carlo

Thank Steve - hes the man - I have 4x 4x - fxaa off - 2048 - unlimited frames - vsync on - tripple off

There were some discussions some time ago: instead of "Override any application setting" you should select "Enhance application setting" for SGSS

Great finding Carlo, Thanks!

Chris,

 

Is this in NI or in Nvidia CP  Global?

Triple off - OK , I need to adjust that one.

OK thanks, I had that before and changed it.
