Prepar3D Tweak Assistant (PTA)

Do I have to restore the original files by re-installing CLIENT? If anyhow possible, I would like to avoid a re-installation of P3D.

I believe I did the same thing once before and sorted it with a Client reinstallation. I think.

You could try the 'Repair' option,

I re-installed CLIENT and deleted all content within the PTA folder. Now everything works.

Hi, I have installed PTA, but when I load a flight after making changes the screen is red or green and cockpit is black except GPS etc which is partly looking normal. I started p3d after making changes in PTA. If anyone has an idea about what could be causing this would be great to know.

Thanks

Nick

are you giving shaders time to rebuild before giving up and closing P3D?

Hi,

 

I updated my P3D from 3.3.5 to version 3.4. Unfortunately I forgot to backup the original ShadersHLSL files prior to applying PTA (v1.5) and just applied my old profile. Now I get these error messages:

 

ERROR: shader file H:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3\ShadersHLSL\Cloud.fx is not original Prepar3D shader and can't be used

ERROR: shader file H:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3\ShadersHLSL\General.fx is not original Prepar3D shader and can't be used

ERROR: shader file H:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3\ShadersHLSL\GPUTerrain.fx is not original Prepar3D shader and can't be used

ERROR: shader file H:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3\ShadersHLSL\FuncLibrary.fxh is not original Prepar3D shader and can't be used

ERROR: shader file H:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3\ShadersHLSL\PostProcess\HDR.hlsl is not original Prepar3D shader and can't be used

 

 

How can I solve the situation?

I also use REX clouds, if this makes a difference.

 

Cheers,

If you go to the P3D v2 & v3 Facebook page there's a file you can download that has the original Shaders files. Much faster to download those than reinstalling.

I upgraded to P3D3.4 at the weekend, so took the opportunity to try PTA together with Ultimate Realism Pack 0.95 last night - what an amazing difference this makes to the sim!

 

Just wanted to say thanks for this tool, which has totally amazed me

Hi all!

 

New beta PTA 1.61 available here.

 

http://1coder.ru/PTA/distr/PTA_161beta.zip

 

(Sort of bug fixes).

1. Rayleigh scattering tweak a bit more precisely on the horizon.

2. "Terrain haze" renamed to "Haze" and apply now not only to terrain. (Hope issues with autogen with thick haze solved.)

3. Seasons removed from "Haze" tweak (because allowed only for terrain).

 

To install just replace old PTA.exe with new from archive and apply your preset.

Music to my ears!!! as this is what I got, posted in a previous post yesterday - needless to say I was desperate for answers and solutions lol

Hello folks!

PTA 1.61 released: http://1coder.ru/PTA/

 

Release notes:

1. Rayleigh scattering tweak a bit more precisely on the horizon.

2. "Terrain haze" renamed to "Haze" and affects now not only terrain. (The issues with autogen with thick haze solved). Haze tweak got a new parameter: "Density depends on altitude" (On by default). If you found haze become too thick at high altitude, please use this checkbox.

3. Seasons removed from "Haze" tweak (because allowed only for terrain).

 

All presets from previous versions are compatible with version 1.61.

To install delete old PTA.exe from your PTA directory, unzip PTA.exe from new distribution archive. Then apply your preset.

Perhaps, haze and scattering tweaks will require some re-adjustment.

Hello Yuri

 

I just installed PTA.

Fantastic tool. My fault I did not installed it sooner.

 

Thank You very much.

Forgive my ignorance if this has been covered already. I'm currently running P3D 3.4.9.  I use REX Texture Direct with Soft Clouds, I have backed up my shaders files in both the root P3D directory and the one in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3.

 

I have downloaded PTA 1.61 and am doing research until I'm comfortable tweaking the sim.

 

Are there any drawbacks in using REX TD w/SC and PTA?
