AILRP and P3D V5 - P3D hangs loading the sky

[simbol 5,819]

Dear All,

If you had AI Lights Reborn Pro installed with V5.0 (prior to HF1) and then you upgrade to use the HF1 your P3D will start like this:

It will hang at that stage for a long time.. Another variant is a dark sky with some weird clouds in the background...

To resolve this, please follow these steps:

• Close P3D
• Open AI lights reborn professional
• Open the configuration page.
• Set P3D default scaling techniques.
• Restart P3D
• Will be fine now.
• Close P3D
• Revert to FSREBORN scaling techniques. Set it to HD or 4K depending of your screen resolution. Note not doing this will make P3D ignore your effects texture sizes.
• Open P3D
• All will be fine.

It appears P3D doesn't compile shaders when you upgrade to the HF1, there is an add-on injecting shaders via the .xml method and you launch it the first time.

Please note this might also affect PTA, Evenshade and REX skyforce too..

I resolved this without changing the scaling, so that may not be required to resolve the problem?

You did it in a different way because you de-activated and re-activated AILRP.. my steps ensure a proper re-fresh of the HF1 source shaders.. this is due to something internal happening with AILRP (can't disclose.. :P).. so this is the safes route Kevin.

But many thanks for pointing this out..
