Seems to be back up now.

 

Have there been any improvements to pbr shimmering? 

[Jude Bradley 659]

Didn't check yet. Still at work 🙂

Installs fine. AS works with no protest, ORBX has updated itself (good old ORBX), only thing not working so far is FFTF (says wait for new version).

As usual P3D needs to be run a couple of times for it to sort itself out as regards loading.

Fslabs doesn't work too

PMDG  works well

Of course, now SSAA works properly. Quoting from the release notes:

 

Quote

* Fixed bug preventing SSAA from being applied on PBR objects.

 

And the infamous "floating objects" too:

* Fixed issue where objects with PBR materials would have incorrect vertical positions in some cases.

there are hints that there will be another hot fix rather than a new sub version, some one in you tube wrote P3D V4.5.X with his test video, and that was my lead to another hot fix, same pattern was used before the release of HF 1.

that is an educated speculation from my side.

Im having issues with Active Sky.  Seems as the AS Connect isnt recognizing the new version of P3D.

You have to first Update P3D, then start P3D one time. Shut down P3D and then start AS, now it should recognize  P3D

So it worked for me, I am already in

Ive done that.  Seems as if as_connect that came with the update is only for P3D versions 4.0.23.21468 to 4.5.13.32026.  Current P3D version is 4.5.13.32097.  Wonder of the as_connect is not correct?

Are you using 7205 or 7070?

[Jude Bradley 659]

7070 just updated to 7205

You need to wait for HF to release an update..

Well that could be the issue.  I updated to the 7205 and the asconnect version is causing an issue.

The update was as of 9/23.  I figured they got ahead of it.  Well see what they say.
