Is FFTF Dynamic now working with the Hotfix 2?

I am sure lots of airport developers will now take advantage of the new fix for runway operations.

I expect to stop seeing multiple AFCAD files to force selection of runways for example.

That would be great. I'm always to lazy to switch between different airport (AFCAD) files.

I’ll be delighted to see an end to those multiple BGLs where you have to select the correct one for the current weather. Then that stays in place until the next time when if the winds are significantly different requires you to swap them again.

If that isn’t bad enough map programs like EFB detect a change and ask if you want to rebuild its database. Arrgghh! It will be wonderful to be free of that.

I was referring to the fact that all take offs are on 23L and all landings are on 23R.

Then it certainly sounds like you have an AFD with takeoffs prevented on 05L/23R and landings prevented on 05R/23L.

That has always been possible. The fix in HF2 is that you can close each end separately now for Takeoff and Landing. 

The problem with an AFD amended to do what you say is that with a more Northerly or Easterly wind you'd get AI taxiing down most of 23L to turn at the far end for takeoff on 05R.

LEMD (Madrid) is a worse example of the problem which is now solvable. The two northerly runways conflict with the two Southerly ones unless steps are taken. The scenery makers have usually supplied to AFD BGLs -- one for Northerly winds, the other for Southerly winds. Now it is possible to solve the problem with just the one AFD BGL.

I keep forgetting that I almost always used a fixed wind direction of 270 degrees for my flights, and also completely calm weather.

Ah, that would explain it, for an AFD BGL modified as I surmised! 😉

Mystery solved?

Has anyone noticed a slight increase of vram with HF2?

I seem to have be using another 1 to 2 gig more with the same settings compared to HF1.

Not as of this morning. Saturday.

I have never seen that in my 25+ years of simming.

Can you give an (now defunct) example.

FT EKCH and LEMD are two that I know of. I use Real Traffic, so not an issue. It was when I was using bgl AI.

4.5 HF2 seems to run better in full screen mode on my test systems, but I can't positively attribute that to LM as there were other variables involved called Windows 10 update which was a significant update ... so not really sure which is responsible for better Full Screen mode performance (it was an improvement feature on Microsoft update list).

Oh no! Is that a good reason now to get my Windows updated? I've had it fixed at 1803. I have been very reluctant to allow updates after the assorted horror stories I read about how the updates always mess up one thing or another!

Are you using shader mods (like PTA Evshade or Tomato)? You could try to run the content update either. Uninstall first, then install new. Because Aircraft Textures should be part of the content

Found my problem.

I have a key mapped to the P3D function for regenerating the shader cache and had assumed the function would clear the shader cache as a first step.

However clearing the cache is not something the function seems to perform, instead it regenerates and will overwrite but looks to otherwise leave existing items untouched.

Result, some funky stuff like this A2A 172 pic, great effect for the F35's sensor helmet, not so great otherwise. Solution was to manually delete the shader cache completely, then use the P3D function to regenerate the cache contents.

ive reinstalled to latest version and now im using SSD for prepar3d. The fps is worse than previous version. But soon i unpark CPU 0, The fps drasticly increase! what causing this problem?

What SSD did you install?  Is the TRIM command set?

Core parking should be disabled while using high-demand applications like flight sims.  More info and a tool here.

sorry i misunderstanding about core parking. what i mean is when im using all core the fps is like 20 to 30/40 fps. But when i unload the Core 0 from task manager. The fps drasticly increase! . Im using crucial MX500 500gb ssd.

I don't think SSD has got anything to do here. Problem is obviously that core 0 is overloaded and when you take P3D rendering thread off it, it will shift to other cores and performance is better. You should find out what is hogging the resources and go from there.
