Missing contrails in P3D4.2

Featured Replies

Hi

I do not remember exactly, when i was gone all contrails effect (which was associated with this disappearance) but for two months they will definitely disappear (FL 300-Fl400 and dfferents weather  and seasons settings). Contrails are gone on the user's plane as well as Ai traffic planes. I have several times with FSXCentral installed/reinstalled PrecipitFX and of course in options contrails is marked, also I have tried different settings (for example shorter contrails and then again normal contrails) but I never see again contrails - they are completely lost.

P3D4 special effects detail and distance is set to High (maximum). I also use PTA 2.61 and Active Sky.

How can I get back to this effect?

 

Regards

Felix

Hi

I disabled PTA and restored default shaders, also replaced Prepar3d.cfg with old backup but nothing happens - I've completely lost Contrails. Also i have Lear35 Immersion, Q400 Immersion, 777 Immersion and they are also freshly installed but contrails there is nowhere. When i look in P3D4.2 Effects and Simobjects Airplanes folder, I see that the files are overwritten with FSFX_PFX_Effect but in simulator i can`t see. Somewhere there is a general bug, but where??

I've searched and changed so much here that I do not know how are my other Effects files working (or not working anymore), because I'm focusing now for contrails.

Please help!

 

regards

Felix

I guess he or she was just too excited to explain the "fix". I just love it when jubilation overrides any consideration.

*I know its an old thread, but a good example of one of my pet peeves and one can see it a lot.
