I will give that a try. Thank you sir. By the way, you stated that you are using both PTA and RSP. I thought PTA had everything that RSP has and then some.

 

Yes but to have the same look you need to load that RSP ini into PTA so you dont have to figure out how to do it yourself

After seeing this amazing screenshot..I too selected the ORBX weather theme 4  and it does not look anything like that.. My clouds are dark Cumulus nimbus..

Did you delete your shaders

No should I?

No should I?

 

Yes do I do it all the time - adding new textures - scenery driver updates - you should be doing this - after launching P3D You need those shaders to re-build so wait till its done  :wink:

Ok, dumped the shaders and things are looking better now. Thanks for that. 

 

In regards to loading the RSP ini, can you expand on that?

Download PTA for your version of P3D - run it 

 

Download this pack here and unzip the ini file from RSP and go to file open in PTA to install RSP setting in PTA - just that do nothing else

Make sure you backup your entire shadershlsl folder in your main p3d folder before doing anything

 

Oh one more thing in menu in PTA go to apply for it to take or F9 - you should see a message it was successful

I do notice that in PTA, I get an error that states General.fx and HDR.hlsl not found, which likely means that those files were modified somewhere along the way. I, unfortunately, did not backup my ShadersHLSL folder. Do you know of a way to restore my original v3.3 General.fx and HDR.hlsl files? Thanks for your help on this Rich.

I dont have 3.3 versions - just update your P3D to 3.5 - 3.3 was a bit of a problem

I already had SweetFX. I did not remove that.. I simply ran this PTA along with my old SweetEx settings.

Looking good bit to saturated but might be jpg quality

That must be my SweetFX (Which I did have at high saturation). 

 

BTW I had not taken a back up of the ShadersHLSL. I thought the tool did take a backup and I could simply restore it using the tool. So not sure why lots of folks are regretting they had not backed up this folder when something went wrong.

 

I am thinking if  for any reason I was to reset, I can just uninstall and it rollback to prior state as it was prior to this tool.

 

In any case I got the ShadersHLSL from my Acronis backup and put it somehwere for safekeeping.

Excellent Manny glad you are sorting it out  :wink:

Hi Rich

 

Do you now, I can restore and uninstall this? I am  getting a couple of CTDs..

 

So I want to revert and put it back like I had not installed this. and then I want to remove the SweetFX that I have installed. Then I can reinstall this and activate it again

 

Any ideas? 

This  tool (PTA) is the best thing that happened to to our sim world... The blue mountains in the distance looks fantastic.. This is the only parameter I've been playing with ...This single feature has taken our sim to the stratosphere.   :wub:
