Hurrah! I realized that I had registered on Simtweaks with a different email than my Simmarket account. So I went to create a new account at Simtweak and it told me that the email I entered was already taken. Weird since I've never registered with Simtweaks before.

So I did a password recovery, logged in and voila! I have the purchase in my account with a link to download the new version! 

Thanks James for your help and thank you Matt for this great tool!

Haha, no worries, that's exactly what happened to me!

Thanks for the update, Matt.

However, I'm getting an error with FlightBeam's Visual Pack

Don't really know... I can of course disable the custom Clouds directional lighting tweak, which is causing problems...

Hey Anders, I'm using the same FlightBeam visual pack with no problems - your error is to do with the original P3D shaders missing I think. I had it once before and just reinstalled them (in v4). When I updated to v4.1 I think the defaults were again reinstalled so I didn't receive this error using the new PTA version today. Have you opened PTA immediately after updating to v4.1?

Hmm - maybe... weird... is there some way of rebuiding the shaders in the ShadersHLSL folder?

thopat profile was the cause for me.  I put on Matt's until Thopat fixes theirs. :P.  Getting the same error Anders is getting. Where do I find to turn off that cloud directional lighting tweak???:cool:

Wasn't it suppose to be the new version 2.60? In the Sim Market I can see version 2.52 (v1.1) Is this the same for everyone or are we suppose to wait for a Sim Market update?

Just one more voice to say, "Thank you Matt."

P3D4.1 has thrown a cat among the pigeons with a lot of addons that needed changes and/or fixes and it amazes me how quickly everyone responded.

I take my hat off for all you developers.

It's just an indication of how big of an impact this small tool has.

I, personally, eagerly await its release too, trying not to write about it in this forum. :)

Now a days without mobile phone , internet, email are very  important in life to work from any where in this globe. without internet , mobile u lead your life 3~4 days then you feel it....similarly P3D without PTA it looks odd ...then you don't likely to fly. PTA magic is different. :biggrin:...So asking someone regarding this .... I think its not a crime... you people are replying like ...I asked wrong question in forum.
