What would cause this?

[RichieFly 714]

I used the Envdir control panel to "Restore and Disable" Envshade (sp?). Now, my Leonardo Maddogs have internal texturing but the external view is skeletal. I just see the seating and cockpit. No wings, tail nor wheels.

I did delete the contents of the shaders directory. Other aircraft are ok. I just wanted to compare the difference between having Evnshade and not having it in relation to the PBR texturing.

Ideas? Should I just reinstall the FlytheMaddog X again?

Assuming you are using the latest version of Maddog, You might need to perform a P3D client repair, it sounds like the PBR shaders were modified or got corrupted, hard to tell.

Yeah. Hard to tell. Thanks for the reply. I think I'll just try a fresh maddog install and see. 

I'll post here if I figure it out.

More:

Well, this is distressing. A fresh, complete reinstall of Leonardo's Md-80 and, initially the stock aircraft loaded. I then enabled some of the PBR liveries using the load manager and I'm back where I started.

I'm afraid Simbol is correct. Evnshade broke something when I disabled it. Fudge.

Thanks Simbol. I don't know that I'd have figured this out on my own.

Yes. Reinstalling the P3Dv4.4 client fixed the problem.

I think a warning to Evnshade users is indicated. Although, I don't think there's a forum category for Evnshade.

you might want to post your experience on their support forum. I'm sure they would be interested.

Glad to help, enjoy your flights.

All the best.

Hello @RichieFly

No worries, if you don’t come to us, I’ll come to you ^^

What may have happened is that an old version of shaders were restored to your sim because you didn’t delete the previous shaders backup.

I know this can be confusing and this is why we are working on something to reset the shaders backup after a client reinstall 😉

Best regards

Thanks for the reply Maxime. Yeah. I bet that was it.

No problems now. I can see where I should have done things differently. That's the nature of this hobby. So many add-ons; so many ways to go wrong.
