First reactions to P3Dv4.4

Re the problem with the 'Stealthy' Default F-16.

Turns out that this is an issue with the utility URP (Ultimate Realism Pack), which also affects shaders, but hides some of it's work in areas that I, nor the reinstall, addressed.

For others with the issue, go into the URP interface, click shaders, then click default.

Problem solved!

Yep.  That was a great find by Nick at A2A.  That said, as the issue has been resolved, I have chosen to reactivate URP.  It is a great compliment to PTA and adds tremendous depth and realsim.  I messaged the URP author in hopes that they will address it.  If not, I'll have a choice to make when more PBR offerings become available.

P3D dynamically sets SCENERY_DRAW_DISTANCE based on other settings.  It is a calculated value that I'm leaving alone as it seems to work best.

I'll test that too. I had the opposite happen in earlier tests but that was a while ago. Here is a screen shot of what I'm experiencing both with blurries and autogen drawing.

I currently have:

[GRAPHICS]
ENABLE_MEMORY_OPTIMIZATION=0
MAX_TEXTURE_REQUEST_DISTANCE=640000.000000

[SCENERY]
SCENERY_DRAW_DISTANCE=32000.000000

[TEXTURE]

TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=9

 

Your settings are insane, try 320000 for MAX_TEXTURE_REQUEST_DISTANCE and 64000 for SCENERY_DRAW_DISTANCE

Has anyone noticed that after the upgrade (client only) there are weird sound distortions when changing views or muting and unmuting (pressing Q)?

There is a weird spool down and spool up engine sound.

Yes Shom, I am experiencing exactly the same. A darn PITA!

PER LM    You can try adding the following config setting to your Prepar3D.cfg [sound] section.

[sound]
time_constant=0

Thanks will try it out! I wonder what the logic behind this change is...

Worked for me. I think it was just a over-site.

LM agrees this is a bug in 4.4 but I am not sure how they plan to address a fix.

I wonder why I don't have this sound problem? I have updated only Client 4.4...

LM have made some significant changes to sound support that is now available to developers/content providers.  It is LMs hope, 3rd party embrace and use those new features as they are no longer bound to some of the older sound limitations and/or work-arounds.

Cheers, Rob.

Very odd. I too only update the client, but have since had several issues with sound.
