So even after the "fix", .5 is still INOP?

How so?

My P3D 4.5 with HF1 loads with default aircraft but does not with PMDG 737

4.5hf is no different for me. Still massive loading times(almost 50%) and FPS loss. Going to try a full reinstall(again) and failing that wait it out on 4.4.

Problem solved. The debug mode in EF needs to be off.

Sorry, what is "EF"? Thanks.

EF is Rex Environmental Force

I found the problem of P3D not starting after the hotfix. The WX Advantage Radar is the reason. Removed the MV_WXM.dll from the Modules folder and problem solved. I guess it needs to be updated.

Old thread, but thanks, man. I was about to jump.

That was my problem too.

I have the problem the other way round

All 4.5 Hotfix updates loaded including the new Rex ones available yesterday-Active Sky,Flight 1 GTN etc

All good-everything works including MV WX Radar BUT P3D4.5 Hotfix ( Client only) will not install

I had no problems with 4.5 so sticking with it and AMA happy bunny

I've just updated my Client to v4.5 from v4.4. I perform a specific test to make it as objective as possible thereby removing any subjective influence. I just uninstalled and ran the Client update. Didn't delete p3d.cfg but I did delete the contents of the shaders folder.

Here are the results. 4.4 times are in red; 4.5 times in blue.

Load time to Free Scenario display. 62 secs  63 secs.

Load time for chosen scenario. 60 secs 48 secs

For the test itself I position my aircraft at EGLC Rwy 28, slew up to 500ft and move forward at 160kts. I change heading to aim for EGLL passing directly over the Tower and T5 and the test stops as I reach the first reservoir beyond the M25.

Min fps = 16.4 Max fps = 46.1 Avg fps = 26.4 Max Ai = 272

Min fps = 17.7 Max fps = 43.8 Avg fps = 26.3 Max Ai = 268.

No reduction in frame rates - just a decrease in loading time for the chosen scenario.

I thought I read about people having issues.  I'll be honest in saying that I might be getting v4.5 and EF mixed up.  So the fix is good and folks are happy?

Depends who you ask. People here have no problem. Also plenty here that do. I'm still suffering significant performance and loading issues compared to v4.4 and there are a good number of other threads talking about cpu usage going up.

I'm hesitant to say it is definitely flawed though as I haven't had much time to fault find on my end yet.

Hmmm...Thanks.  Guess I'll keep holding off.

Great success after two days of not working - HotFix is now working very well for me in my system.

My test has always been at the same addon airport which happens to be my home base. When the HotF came out the load went from 1.5 to 2 minutes to 4.5 to 5 minutes, now after my few more changes it is now 1 minute 40 seconds.  Also I have gained about 5 to 8 FPS in performance - so in summary I am now very happy with the HotFix.

What I did was to uninstall REX Advantage Weather Radar which actually was not configured in any aircraft due to issues.

Also I removed the Shaders folder but as a test I did not remove the P3D.cfg file and it worked immediately. So then I thought I should remove the P3D.cfg file and allowed P3D to build a new one and it worked just as well as the old CFG file so I left the new one in.

Also updated Active Sky

Same here  the REX Advantage Weather Radar module was the culprit (P3D 4.5 1293)
