P3D v4 Tomato Shade PMDG 744

Featured Replies

Hi Guys, 

Just need to be pointed in right direction with this one sorry if its in the wrong place! 

Installed Tomato Shade Added all profiles to all my aircraft everything is working fine. Then comes PMDG 744. CE8QyxC.jpg

All very strange. Tomato Shade is uptodate V26. Dynamic reflections are turned onto medium. Im lost for ideas guys. If anyone knows anything Let me know! 

Thankyou 

John Freeman

Well since the 747/-8 will have PBR any day soon, that should do away with you needing Tomato Reflections. Also, PBR has no impact on FPS.

That is true! With verison 4.4 of P3D is it a pain to update? I'm currently on 4.3. Haven't updated to the new version as I have my sim just how i like it and wouldn't wana disturb to much!

Download v4.4 Client.  Uninstall 4.3 Client.  Install v4.4 Client.  Go fly.  Does not change any add-ons or other installations.  Simple.

OK so followed the steps above to get myself onto V4.4 and now 

 

initContactPointOffset()- Unsupported Prepar3D Version 

Any suggestions? 

 

Thankyou 

 

One of your add-ons is not compatible with v4.4.  Most members had this error with FSLabs aircraft installed.

As I recall too, FSUIPC5 had to be updated and also Active Sky for compatibility but, for Active Sky, it will tell you exactly if you need to update it.  All other programs you have to guess.
