Gday guys

One small problem with p3d v4, my sun has seemed to have gone on vacation, meaning it doesnt make an appearance in my sim now.

I am using ENVTEX with PTA tool.

Any help would be appreciated.

Is that Poppet's french cousin..? :D

If you are using PTA 1st try restoring original shaders with PTA, if that doesn't work satisfactorily, un-install and re-install Client. Then be more careful, stacking shaders wrongly will kill the sun.

Gday guys, the moral of the story is ... if you have ENVTEX installed, make sure you run it with administrator rights. I forgot to do this and when i installed textures from envtex it wasnt really installing its textures (if all that makes sense). Also what i did when the sun left me was to take the suneffect.cfg out of program data folder and let p3d rebuild another.

Now thats fixed i'm still trying to get rid of shimmering/sparkling in scenery, most in urban areas, its annoying, plus also autogen popping ugh.

Cheers

Thank you!
