PTA v2.65 now available

[MattDavies 320]

Hi all,

I recently just made v2.65 of PTA available which brings Prepar3D v4.5 compatibility & also fixes the coastline block textures that some users were reporting.

You can find the download via your order page on the SimTweaks website. 

I will have some pretty major news regarding PTA & it's future in the coming weeks. P3D v4.5 brings a wealth of new things for us to utilize, that mixed with hiring a developer from the games industry that understands shader technology, let's just say that the future is very bright for PTA 🙂

Thanks,

Matt.

You're my hero. I was just about to take a little round in P3D and was so turned off by the default shaders, that I decided against it and wait for your update instead.

And here it is. Perfect timing.

Lol, Ive just updated the Client and Content.  Ran Prepar3D to generate files etc.  Closed the sim then ran PTA.  A backup was made but when I open the RD preset, of even your own included one I get the following error when applying it.

   Applying [Urban areas lighting at night] to D:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\ShadersHLSL\GPUTerrain.fx
ERROR applying tweak [Urban areas lighting at night]  Problem with patch #0 - Patched block not found.

I am actually going to scream. I will have to check this out tomorrow now as I've turned off my PC for the night. I triple checked every single tweak too!

I'll report back with my findings.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for getting the update out so quickly! I also get the urban areas lighting error, but that's a minor thing. I'm going to test the night lighting improvements listed in the release notes first.

Cheers,

Tym

Hi, does v2.65 fix the water surface teak that was giving error messages in v4.4?.

So I am not the only one.

 

Matt you need better Beta testers. 😉

Yes, it should do. I personally couldn't reproduce the error but a friend of mine could so I sent it to them to test and they concluded it's fixed.
