Hi , my setup is really bad right now and i suspect shaders 

 

Can you help me ? 

Thanks

Michael Moe

Can you elaborate, please?

What kind of help do you need?

To delete your shaders goto C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5\Shaders and delete all files there. You will need to edit the path's <username> to match your setup. Or if you are using Lorby's PAO, under tools is a click to delete shaders.

To delete the content of the Shaders folder, especially if you need to delete the content often, you can create a link in the Shaders folder and drag it to the Desktop, so you will avoid having to type the entire path every time while you just need to open the link on the Desktop and delete the content.

I was under the impression that there was an infllight option in the P3D interface.?

No there isn't.

Yes there is.

Search Key Assignments for "Reload Shaders" and map if needed.

The above said, and while the reload shaders is useful, it doesn't clear and reload, it just reloads the current in use and leaves a folder still full of old compilied shader files.

What I have is a variation of  RobPol471's shortcuts idea.

Basically it's a folder into which I've placed all the shortcuts to the various P3D locations I need to get to, such as compiled shaders, DB index files, config files, the main app link and addons links, screen grabs, vids, downloads, etc.

Besides crashes of the software, this pic illustrates the sort of wierd things that can happen when the sharder cache is not fully cleared.
