Prepar3D Tweak Assistant (PTA)

[Novation 534]

But tweaking core shaders already edited manually is dangerous I think.

 

Fair point Yuri. It would certainly be good to have an a function to allow seperate control, for those who know what they are doing (or reckless) :wink:

No sepia actually. Navid's Hashemi sky textures (http://navidh.se/misc_navids_skyset_2016_v3.html) make fantastic warm tint at down/dusk an look pretty good. 

There are some water, shadows, hdr tweaks:

ERROR: shader file F:\PREPAR3D\ShadersHLSL\General.fx is not original Prepar3D shader and can't be used.

 

 

I've just encountered this problem.  How can I restore an original General .fx file.  I don't seem to have saved a copy of that particular file.

Erich, it seems to be your file was tweaked already. What version of P3D?

Those two files have been edited at some point in the past and are not in default state. If you have a backup of your ShadersHLSL folder, replace those two files and this problem will be rectified. If you don't, I'm not sure what to tell you.

thanks for this tools, great job!

I am lost, totally lost. I have downloaded those original files, put them in the correct places but still I can´t get this tool to work. What point I am missing here...?? Does HDR has to be on in the sim? I run the tool as administrator.

I am lost, totally lost.

 

Where are you running the tool from? I did have some problems to start with, until I moved it to the same drive my sim is on, and then it worked. This is with Win10 which I'm still getting to grips with, so I'm not sure if that had any bearing.

Hi Yuri:

Could you pls confirm that the files being modified by PTA are the following: cloud.fx, general.fx, GPUTerrain.fx and HDR.hlsl?. Are there any others?. Thanks.

Cheers, Ed
