Did they fix the wind shifts during weather injection? Didn't see it listed. Or are they just leaving that up to Active Sky to figure out?

I'm asking the same thing...before I read you asking the same!

Very comprehensive. Nice to see they have been listening to concerns. In fairness, it is out very quickly given the amount of work they've done.

My take...is that this was already 'baked' in the oven...and what we got on Tuesday's release was another Beta, they called the RTM.   I mean...weren't Beta Testers getting revised beta's pretty much right up to the hour of release?  I think this was already written and another advanced 'beta' beyond the RTM version.   Not complaining about anything,  ..but c'mon,  wasn't this rather fast, to code all this stuff in?  Just sayin'....

Good work, LM

Only 2 weeks and many issues fixed. True atmosphere is still beta, but now working in VR. What a different sky it makes in VR! There are still issues with sawtooth artifacts along edges (i.e. mountain peeks or around the R22 window compass).

Keep developing v5,

Michael

have not hit a wind yet..but nothing in the notes about fixing it. Been dropping my A2A cub into dirt strips around ORBX KFHR/PNW

[Sesquashtoo 2,846]

So, let's say you have all the Orbx suspects already installed....I guess, if you run all three..Client, Contents, and Scenery...(Scenery being the bad boy...) will you have to reinstall everything Orbx...or only Global?

So I guess that I will still CTD, when using FSXWW 1.6.1 and it tries to inject a wind change...as when I did CTD...it said that there was a problem between FSXWW and SimConnect...and then a wind dataref...

I wonder if I can get away with only updating Client and Content...as Orbx pretty much overwrote, the default Scenery...UNLESS FOLKS...all the vector data IS...in the updated Scenery, and if you don't update that as well, you'll still have roads heading out across rivers and lakes...as I have right now...with the RTM.

Hello @ll,

downloaded, uninstalled the entire 5.0.21, installed hotfix 5.0.24, registered the license. Simulator won't start anymore. Splash screen comes up for a couple of seconds, then it just goes away. No entry in the Windows Events log. Same behavior after a full system reboot.

This was a bare-bones installation, with only a handful of external addons - which have all been disabled. Generated files have been deleted, including shaders and cfg files.

Currently uninstalling again, will clear out everything manually, then start again.

Best regards

Had this issue as well.

I emptied my Documents\Prepar3d V5 Add Ons folder and it worked again. Now adding add ons one by one.

I have all the orbx stuff in a stand alone library. did the full uninstall and full reinstalll of p3d. No issues in regards to having the ORBX there on startup. I still see some mesh issues but I have not seen a vector issue yet...not to say they are not there...

Just hope it is enough for the 3rd party developers to release their v5 compatible versions - looking at you - FSLabs, pmdg and ActiveSky

Load up a flight...and go up and down the Sarnia River...between Lake St.Claire...and Lake Huron...I HOPE...you won't see lines and roads going right across the river...and a smaller darker blue 'river' in the center of the larger body of river water. Could you please do that for me...fly up the entire length of the river between Lake St. Claire, and Port Huron....if you see NOTHING (lines) in the river water...they then fixed the bad data/vector data that was in the RTM.

[Sesquashtoo 2,846]

I've just decided to bite the bullet...and totally remove my RTM v5 from my system, and start with a true Hot Fix (latest release) installation.  For if you don't...and you still have 'problems'...CTD, graphic...it wouldn't be fair to yell and scream about it...as you didn't delete parts of the RTM.  So...going to pop a beer...remove my RTM, and start over...for only that way, I will know before I add any 3rPd...that I do have the true latest code for v5.  Here goes...glad it's raining outside...
