Hi all

Firstly thank you for the updated version Matt.

I've applied the preset i was using with the previous version but i'm getting this error: ERROR applying custom tweak [Clouds directional lighting 3] : the desired block is not found
Preset has been applied with errors. See log above.

It says the preset has been applied but with the errors, Does that mean it won't work? Or it this just because of the new features that have been added? 

Can you try the preset that comes with the new download? That may be an incompatibility with an older tweak or something.

Same here related to have a code from simmarket and not being able to be a PTA citizen for first day download. Sincerely I don't understand you developers. What's wrong about publishing the update for people that already have a registered version of PTA adquired in one of the stores you are selling it?

Not fun

We've made it so that when you buy from Simmarket, we create you an account automatically on the Simtweaks website - you can login with your Simmarket email and your PTA serial as the password - then you're free to download the latest version.

Hey Matt!

Very nice to see PTA V2.60 for V4, very good!

I just have a question. When I installed the new version and was going activate it, it said ''Wrong Key''.

I used the serial I have been given from Simtweaks and I have it used all the times.

Do you know what the problem is?

Hi,

sorry for my bad english.

There is an problem with 2.60:

Quote

   Applying [Clouds directional lighting 1] to D:\Simulator\Prepar3D v4\ShadersHLSL\Cloud.fx
   Applying [Clouds directional lighting 2] to D:\Simulator\Prepar3D v4\ShadersHLSL\Cloud.fx
   Applying [Clouds directional lighting 3] to D:\Simulator\Prepar3D v4\ShadersHLSL\Cloud.fx
ERROR applying custom tweak [Clouds directional lighting 3] : the desired block is not found
Preset has been applied with errors. See log above

 

After this, there are no Clouds in P3D. I Use the Thopat Preset.Any ideas or solutions?

 

Edit: The "MattDavies1.3" make no problems.

Like Exor85 I am getting the same error, however I am seeing clouds. 

Any ideas on a fix?

Maybe i found a solution until the preset ist fixed: disable the "Clouds directional lighting" in the "custom tweaks" section.

Matt, great job on 2.60...! In particular the work on the clouds shape and lighting is truly amazing. Just one question: which sky textures do you suggest to use with your preset ?

Cheers

Ezio

The Thopat preset from v2.52 uses 3 Clouds Lighting Directional tweaks.

That does not work with v2.60 in P3Dv4.1 .

Delete those tweaks at the top ( Custom, Tweaks ) and the preset will work.

Flight simulators are multi purpose software!

They are teaching you a lot about aviation, in addition to IT technology and problem solving skills and patience, anger management, online fraud detection, hardware market ......

2.60 worked amazing for me, thanks Matt for supporting the Simulation Community as well as we Pilots who use it for studying (and off course hobbie).

This should be pinned somewhere.

Hi! Not sure if I should post this issue here - I installed the 2.6 version and I keep having these reports:

ERROR: shader file G:\P3Dv4\ShadersHLSL\Cloud.fx is not original Prepar3D shader and can't be used
ERROR: shader file G:\P3Dv4\ShadersHLSL\General.fx is not original Prepar3D shader and can't be used

I've unninstalled P3D's v4.1 content and reinstalled it twice with no results. Also tried reinstalling the client module. Should I be installing the scenery module?

Thank you : )
