October 30, 20178 yr Hi Folks, Wondering if anyone can offer advice to my problem. I run P3Dv4.1, I use SimStarterNG, ENVTEX, ASP4 and ASCA. Everything in P3d pretty much Maxed out. I have contacted both TOGA (ENVTEX) and HIFI (ASP4), and am waiting on some advice, thus far have tried some of the avenues to explore as informed, but No Luck. I have tried reinstall of ASP4, direct start of P3D outside of Sim Starter, have restored ENVTEX, without any success. I just don't have any Lightning or Thunder in my Simulation? I run WIN 10, i7-7700K, 32Gig Ram, GTX 1080TI Brian BJ fro OZ
October 30, 20178 yr Moderator Sounds like your effects files have been corrupted. Try a repair install of client and/or content. Out of curiosity, when you start AS4 do you hear a thunder sound? Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160
October 30, 20178 yr Author Yes Hear sound when starting AS4, only just upgraded the 4.1, Client and Content but will do it again. Thanks
October 30, 20178 yr Have you tried loading the in sim weather thunderstorm theme without running environment add-ons to narrow down the culprit? If still no lightening and thunder then what Vic said would be the case. 2 hours ago, baxterbj said: Hi Folks, Wondering if anyone can offer advice to my problem.

October 30, 20178 yr There is a major effects developer which just (last week) released thunderstorm lightings with dynamic lightning for free. Not sure if I can post any links here, so use google or go to one of the many news sides. You can give it a shoot when everything else does not work.
October 30, 20178 yr Author Bill, yes tried loading the in sim thunderstorm with no result, so as Vic said it might be a reinstall of Client and Contents, and thanks Labbi85, tried that free release, no luck so reverted back to original files. BJ from Oz
October 30, 20178 yr Author Reinstalled Client, removed Cfg and Shaders, started Sim nit through Sim StarterNG. Set thunderstorm, Positive I saw Lightning. Reset P3D.Cfg back to my customised, restarted through Sim Starter with all the fruit, Nothing again?
October 30, 20178 yr How is your effects level set? complexity and distance. Try both at medium. With both low, lighting effects on building is not visible for example.

October 30, 20178 yr Author Okay have reset new P3d.cfg, cleared shaders, HEAPS of lightning, no Thunder?????
October 30, 20178 yr Author Start P3D back through Sim Starter again, No Thunder, No Lightning. PTA, ENVTEX, AS4, ASCA running. Which one is causing the issue. I have tried the process of elimination and I'm at a complete loss? This is baffling?????
October 31, 20178 yr Author Changed Cloud resolution, altered sounds, ie environment. Searched for thunderstorms in ASP4, I now have both Lightning and Thunder, albeit the sounds are very low. Thanks
October 31, 20178 yr Check your Environment sound slider in P3D. Set it higher. 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0
November 1, 20178 yr Author Gerald Thanks, I became a bit of a storm chaser, using ASP4 to search for storms. Found storms in Brazil, discovered Lightning, but could barely hear thunder or lightning. Altered sounds, increasing Environment, and lowering the rest, I also put another sound card in so as to improve the sounds. Cheers Thanks Brian (BJ fro OZ)
