P3D version 5 Hot Fix now available.

[Chock 17,769]

It's good to know that, in an amazing nod to realism from Lockheed Martin with the road traffic for the UK, when you are over Liverpool city centre, you can see what appears to be Ladder 88 from the NYFD and a Dodge black and white patrol car. I'm impressed they are willing to go somewhat out of their way to assist with ensuring the lockdown is maintained.

I just did a full reinstall of P3D v5 HF1, installed my addons. I try to load ORBX TrueEarth GB with Aerosoft Hearthrow and it is stuck on loading. 

Does anyone has this problem?

I do. It’s generally slower to load, but this evening I timed it and it took 45 mins to load Aerosoft Heathrow with ORBX TE installed. Seems to stick at 72% ‘Adjusting Scenery Objects’. When it eventually did load, it looked great, FPS okay, taxied for 2 mins and it hung (not CTD) but I had to End Task. Very frustrating.

Other airports load quicker but I still get it hanging periodically.

Ok, uninstalled v5, deleted the shaders folder content and prepar3d.cfg and installed the HF1. Works as expected, all addons are there. BUT, and this is a very big BUT: those annoying, regular micro stutters are back. What a bummer. And this with the exact same settings as used before the hotfix. Enabling or disabling the new option to save VRAM does not do anything, enabling or disabling HT via AM does not do anything. It stutters. Regularly. I could vomit...

If you must, try not to get any on you.

Will I be able to use the RTM (without hotfix) version if I buy it right now?

Nope...they always remove the earlier version in the Download section. Unless you can find someone that has the RTM, you only have access to the v5.24

Need your HDR settings:

Textures look good but not as sharp. I miss PTA already. 😀

Well it is just a hotfix after all.

I expect further adjustments towards more aggressive texture streaming in future hotfixes or the first point release.

Agreed, I’m sure there will be further refinements to come.  Hadn’t meant for this to come cross as a complaint, simply an observation.

Wait - it still crashes? Not sure if I misunderstood that bullet point from the change log but I thought you would now be able to adjust settings and continue flying?

That was my experience yes, the same device hung message from before then a crash, I didn’t have an opportunity to dial things back and save the flight.

Wind shift bug appears to still be there?

Poured a beer... let the install begin.. Cheers

Re-install was pretty uneventful for me. Even kept the same p3d.cfg and all addons loaded and seem to work as intended. Definitely a small hit a performance (I think?) but to early to tell.

That is normal. The default setting for P4AO is V4. Just press "Ignore", select V5 on the main screen, Close and restart.

I will add something to get around this in a future version.

Best regards

Is new one password protected? Or it's just me......

 

p.s. Sorry...sometimes it pays to read.....I am ashamed.. solved. lol
