Hahaha ... that is what you want as a Orbx Vector and GSX user.

Good raindrops adds basic realism . Shadows too. This belongs to the minimum of a good Flightsim.

Dyn Lighting : hopefully they can make it less taxing but it also depends on your graphics card. I have it enabled all the time and icw with every airport that has it. I had to finetune it with PTA to avoid too much bloom/brightness.

And what is really important : more core 0 threads to the other threads to improve further performance...

:cool:

How did you do this? Does the adjustment affect just DL or all lighting?

I asked a while back if this could be done and got no replies.

Looks like it CAN be done.

Cheers,

Mark

 I think to myself 'why can't this muppet take a few hours to check the afcad'. 

LOL!! I feel the same way, land at a new airport scenery, pull up the GSX menu and see word not allowed for parking availability. So that means I need to use the GSX menu editor to fix their word not allowed afcad.

Gerard, you should start your own thread in that forum so we can keep track of when you make changes. I'm loving your 12 month presets but it's hard to find when you make updates.

As far as V4 is concerned I haven't seen blurry's and stutters as bad since FSX. I am hoping that the 4.2 will address blurry's and stutters then I'll be happy

Hope not, every time that LM brings a new version starts the non compatible addons feast, but of course there are some nasty bugs i would love to see addressed, first one the autogen/blurrys loading problem with no frame rate limit!!

When did they announce they were working on a new release? Or is this all just speculation?

If 4.2 is "underwhelming" then IMO that's indication that LM are losing interest in P3D.

It's only a minor update, I wouldn't read too much into Lockhead's future intentions if the improvements are of a relatively minor nature.

Personally I'm hoping for an autogen loading fix, as I'm currently back to 4.0 as for me at least this was a vast 'improvement' on 4.1.

I never did move to 4.1.  I stayed with 4.0.  The 4.1 improvements list looked hugely impressive in size but there was nothing there to make me move.  Hoping 4.2 changes that - which I'm sure it'll do.  It's usually every 2nd point release which brings some significance to the end user table.

My impulse control usually goes to word not allowed when any new version is released.    I was proud of myself.

That really cheered me up! LOL! Your call sign isn't "Viper" it's "Joker" isn't it?

My plans are to Fsxise my P3dv4.1. It runs exactly how I want. My add ons all work with 4.1. Most new add ons should be backward compatible with 4.1.  So I can't think of any updates that would cause me to "update". 

Just my twopenneth,  many will disagree but I am tired of new stuff breaking old stuff!  Or, in other words, if it ain't broke don't fix it!

Best regards.
