No Differences In Applied Presets

[snpower 16]

I believe I posted about this months ago; I simply don't see any differences among the presets using PTA. I remember, when I first purchased, being "wow'd" when I installed Thopat.

I've made sure HDR, bloom, etc. are set as required for each preset. I've also deleted my shaders folder, restored original shader files. Not sure what the issue could be... I do have ENVDIR (not ENVSHADE) installed as well. No error messages in the log.

Two screenshots: one after reinstalled P3Dv4.4 client and deleting shaders folder, the other is THOPAT

Try my 26_1 preset ad see if it works.

How does this look to you ?

They look identical to me. Looks like your settings in ENVDIR might be over-riding things <?>.

I've not used ENVDIR or ENVTEX, so can't really hazard a guess.

The only real test would be to uninstall both, reinstall the P3D Client (or replace your ShadersHLSL folder with a previously saved default backup) then maybe trying PTA again.

You may not get any joy in ENVTEX support forums about PTA compatibility, as PTA might be seen as a competing product <?>.

Yeah, sounds like uninstalling ENVTEX might be the way to go initially. There is a setting related to PTA but only seems to apply if you use ENVSHADE.

After uninstalling PTA and ENVDIR, then re-installing Client:

Make sure you remove the add-on.xml stuff from your documents/p3d files folder. I am told TOGA uses that method to add their shaders/textures.

Bingo! Although I had run the URP installer, all the files were still in the documents/p3d folder. Same goes for ENVDIR. Deleted them and it appears to be working. Fixed my PBR texture issue, as well. Thanks to Matt and Adam.

Excellent 🙂

Yay! I always enjoy a good result! Thanks for helping out, Matt!
