Hey guys, are you waiting for VC rain effect? There is NO changes! Try with default and with Envtex, but... Sad.

Envtex rain and snow ON

Envtex rain and snow OFF

Where is my drops on glass?)))

But now i update AS+ASCA and check what about perfomance.

You'll need to update the content for VC rain to work ( install_content + cont1.cab and cont2.cab) not just install the client

My first P3D V4.1 flight live stream:

It is working perfectly with 30-50 FPS and I saw some performance improvements with dynamic lightning, I had horrible sutters in V4.

Strange that you see improvement with dynamic lightning when LM made no mention of it in the change log. Could also be a setting due to the fact you just installed 4.1 which defaults your settings.  Just saying no other DL reports on improvements yet with 4.1.

OK. As i understand i just need to remove "old clients" and install new ones, no reason for start Setup_Prepar3D.exe? And i need to dowload full installer, because *.cab files requred. Or best way is full uninstall 4.0 and clean install 4.1?

Soooo many guinea pigs!   lol.  Find those bugs before i update!    just kidding.  Good work all!

By any chance was KSFO a saved flight from the previous version?

Hello

Yes updating the Scenery component will require you to reinstall Orbx Global Base

Yes just Uninstall the current Client and then Install the new Client.  The client is a small standalone Installer, You only need this to update the Client  (Just 1 file) 

Updating the Content will require you to download the following 3 files,   Cont1.cab, Cont2.cab, and Install_Content.msi   

 

Please see the Topic below for a step by step guide with Images to update Prepar3D using these update components

So for those of us with ORBX FTX Global, openLC, Vector, etc.... will we need to install the P3D 4.1 content and scenery as well? I think if we use those default planes for the new VC rain effects then we will want to install content. But I'm afraid that will overwrite some files and I will have to reinstall my 3rd party stuff all over again.

I have a lot of add-ons, so can I simply get by with only updating the client only? What benefits will I see other than the VC rain effects in those default planes listed?
