So do we have to uninstall our entire orbx library ... and reinstall after we upgrade to p3d v4.2?

Where did you read that? Orbx Center is now updated I not see anything else we need to do.

 Also unhappy that PTA, ActiveSky and SimpleCam aren't working with 4.2. Will revert to 4.1 until everyone catches up.

Your joking right? The update just came out.

Well normally these developers have beta versions so they could of had v4.2 for weeks/months. That's why some can release within hours.

This is not true, not everyone has access to P3D Beta version, I am one of the unlucky guys and the same case applies to many others.

So as "Today" is when I would be able to test my products against the new version, so please guys be patient as a lot of developers are on the same boat as you, we will work as hard as posible to address any issues that we might encounter and discover from today.

Thanks for your understanding.

Didn't read in in that link...only posted the link to confirm that ORBX is indeed compatible.

The last time I upgraded from 4.0 to 4.1 I had to reinstall all my ORBX addons.  I think only those addons that utilise the add-on.xml files because they reside outside of the p3d install directory. 

I may be veryyyyyyyyy wrong, but that is how I understand it.  Pls correct me if I'm wrong.

Delete p3d.cfg and your shader folder, it might help after updating with performance

Did all that. No improvement.

No dynamic lighting is double FPS compared to dynamic lighting activated. Disappointing, but I can live with it.

Well Matt,

Well Rob A, said it was "better" but.....implied by not a lot. So No surprise to your finding Matt.

I will take Rods advise and give it a couple of weeks before updating, give third party`s time to get up to speed.

I can live without DL.

Active Sky has an update out.

But no SimpleCam is a real PITA.

Likewise, Raymond.  I understand hopping on the update right away... it is certainly tempting.  But I do appreciate the early adopters.  It keeps this place hopping and is incredibly entertaining.

With FSUIPC installed, bad things are happening for me. Is it me or can that be confirmed?

Someone said they updated it with only FSUIPC installed and have problems, read it here https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/531129-p3d-v42-looping-in-loading-terrain-data/

Well unless there are credible reports of FPS stability improvements and perhaps performance and improvements in texture loading i.e. less blurries I am sticking with V4.1. Normally I jump right on the band wagon but I'm staying put this time.
