I don´t know if PTA 2.61 is downwards compatible to P3D 4.1.
As there unfortunately is no documentation mentioning any (in)compatibilities between PTA 2.61 and P3D 4.1 I guess that it should be compatible but I don´t know for sure.

You can try to restore the original P3D shader files by using that option in PTA or if that doesn´t work by calling the P3D client.msi installer. That only takes a few seconds and is the safest way to restore the original files.

Please refer to Matt post. PTA 2.61 is only for P3D 4.2. It will not work for 4.1

Hi all,

We recently just made v2.61 of PTA available for users that have upgraded to Prepar3D v4.2.

You can find the download via your order page on the SimTweaks website. 

Please note: Due to shader structure change within Prepar3D v4.2, some of the tweaks in PTA v2.61 will NOT work in previous versions of Prepar3D. If you are not planning on upgrading from Prepar3D v4.1, you do NOT need to upgrade PTA. There isn't any new functionality in PTA v2.61, just compatibility with Prepar3D v4.2.

Thanks,

Matt.
