Hi all,

I recently just made v2.66 of PTA available which fixes the urban night lighting tweak error.

Please note: v2.66 is ONLY compatible with Prepar3D v4.5, use v2.65 for Prepar3D v4.4

You can find the download (and all previous versions) 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.

Hey is the v2.65 have the water surface tuning fixed?

[MattDavies 320]

 Yeah. All the versions now work without errors.

How are you going to use expressions with sliders only ... ? 

Expressions are dynamical tweaks already and can be used in PTA for several years already.

My All Months preset sets include lots of expressions : altitude, weather, time of day, month of the year, etc.

That some weather program developers talk about it now does not mean it wasn’t present already .... 😀

it turned out that it can be done, EF from REX.

thanks for the enlightenment.

Why when I try to download it now, the 2.66, all browsers do not do it and report it as a virus? It did not happen before.

Hi Matt, the latest version installs fine, but I can't find your tweak that showed up every time I installed previous versions.  Am I missing something?  Thanks.

I've updated it with my latest preset for you, just re download 2.66 and it's inside there.

Hello,

I just updated P3Dv4.5 to Hotfix2 (4.5.13.32097) I am getting these errors I have done the usual what I have seen as solutions in other posts I deleted the ShadersHLSL and repaired with Install_client to replace an original ShadersHLSL folder I have even done a full reinstall of P3D and always run the PTA application as administrator but still suddenly I always see these errors,

ERROR: shader file C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\ShadersHLSL\GPUTerrain.fx is not original Prepar3D shader and can't be used
ERROR: shader file C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\ShadersHLSL\PostProcess\HDR.hlsl is not original Prepar3D shader and can't be used

ERROR applying preset: source file C:\Users\WLH\Downloads\pta_2.66 (1)\SHADERS_BACKUP\General.fx not found
ERROR applying preset: source file C:\Users\WLH\Downloads\pta_2.66 (1)\SHADERS_BACKUP\GPUTerrain.fx not found
ERROR applying preset: source file C:\Users\WLH\Downloads\pta_2.66 (1)\SHADERS_BACKUP\PostProcess\HDR.hlsl not found

The program is still creating the CONFIG_BACKUP with a Prepar3D CFG File in and the SHADERS_BACKUP contains Cloud.fx, FuncLibrary.fxh, GPUTerrain.fxh and the PostProcess folder contains the FXAAResolve.hlsl.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks.
