ASP3D now compatible with P3D v5.1

I sugest you to try to deactivate envshade and get your original v5.1 shaders restored and shared cache cleared. Take a look at your envshade backup folder and check if the shaders stored have the same date file like the others you will find in your shaders p3d root folder. I had to repair my p3d v5.1 client deleting the envshade restored shaders files because the backup files came from previous versions of prepar3d. I posted a similar issue and this fix at togaproject support forums. 

How can i deactivate EnvShade?

Is it okay to override the ShadersHLSL in P3D with the original Vanilla Folder?

bear in mind that Envshade and tex does nothing to EA, because EA has it´s own shadermodel which is not fed by the shaders in the p3d shaderfolder. Only with EA off you get tweaked shaders by EnvShade. As long you don´t exspect any "improvements" on EA by the use of Envshade, you will be happy with the enhancements that it does to the "legacy" athmosphere.

Yes, That’s what I did, first I made a P3d repair (client) and deleted the HLSL Shaders cache. Runing P3D I founded that the issue persisted! Them I checked my shaders folder in P3D root and I founded that repair tool just didn’t restored the obsolete shaders files. It was easy to see the offending shaders because the file dates where older. I deleted them and used the repair tool again, flushed the shader cache files and started P3D and the issue was fixed.

resuming:

Restoring from envdir was wrong because the files stored in ENVTEX backup folder was fetched from previous version.

Repair with P3D client didn’t worked at my first attempt because I have shader files from previous P3D version.

The fix was deleted the obsolete shaders and le the Client repair utility do the job.

In shader root folder look also at texture subfolder, it was a couple of obsolete files in there too.

Just take care of all your shaders are the vanilla one as you asked.

hope that helps.

cheers

Hi,

Not exactly, for sample terrain saturation, raleigh, vertical vissibility, and a couple of shaders can be improved with envshade as I’ve been able to test. The problem is that some shaders need to be adressed to the new v5.1 P3D shaders.

Maxime told me they were going to check this issue.

Cheers

Well, something doesn't make any sense here....If I try to disable EA and HDR error message pops up and says correct errors?! Never seen this before....So I am forced to use EA? But I had it off on the ground and when I start playing as suggested this happens...

I think the "correct errors" problem is a 'universal' problem in the menu / dialog box system. I got the same popup telling me to correct errors when trying to change airports. I went into change airport, typed the new airport ID, and selected a gate. I got that error when I clicked Ok. I hit cancel, and then repeated the same exact steps a 2nd time. It worked fine and I ended up where I wanted to be.

i have envtext and envshade.  im using HDR off, and EA off.  works good.  The proformance is much better , Ill give them that, even if you do have to turn off HDR ( it was a strange dark blue with it on) and EA off,  with the scenery issues, but as i said proformance is better.

Can you still use Active Sky Cloud Art if you turn off EA in 5.1 or is cloud art a thing of the past now?

[jimcarrel 688]

Cloud art is not obsolete, there is a cloud art patch to go along with the latest ASN new patch for 5.1

Is that with EA off? 

I get confused about EA and ASCA and how having EA would call different textures.....
