P3D 5.3 Hotfix 2 released

Recommended Posts

As for the unlimited visibility bug ... i was able to apply the LM code fix in the shader file 

That along with the new AS version - works like a charm now.

I follow Marcus' same practice and sequence except one small addition .... I initiate a complete reboot of the PC after the P3D installation has finished and then proceed with the basic start up of P3D without many of the add-ons being loaded.

That's not required but also should not do any harm. 

I do install P3D during testing phases sometimes 2 times a day. And when encountering issues also way more. 

Honestly P3D updating, uninstalled and installing isn't an issue or huge amount of work. 

What is much more work, are those addons who install into root, Indo documents, into roaming, local etc.....that would be so great if all addons would follow XML and install everything just in one simple directory folder.

I'm still on P3Dv5.2HF1. Looks like it's safe to update to 5.3HF2.

I only cleared the shader cache. I thought that Envshade installs the shaders into the P3D shader folder and then these are transferred to the cache as they are used, but admit that I am only guessing. I'll try clearing the cache and then reapply EnvShade to the sim again and see if I notice any difference.

Envshade installs into shaderHLSL of (root p3d). From there on they are getting cached on starting the sim.

That's why Envshade may cause trouble IF some users are not aware of these processes and installation directories.

Don't thank me, there are still issues that I hope get addressed at a later date ... but I'm still very interested to see if this HF2 actually helps anyone so please report back.

I had to lookup HIMARS High Mobility Artillery Rocket System ... I guess DCS fans will know what it meant.

Cheers, Rob.

I am still a bit at a loss as to how P3D works out AM settings. For my i7 6700K (8 cores total with HT on) it gives 255,255 0, 2, 4.  I tested that at my torture test (EGLL to EGLC with TE active, in a PMDG 744) and maintained 25 all the way until descent into EGLC when it tanked and gave 2-3 fps ruining any (admittedly rather silly) attempt at landing. On a 12 hour flight today from NZCH to WMKK things were not perfect, still quite a few pauses, with the same settings.

Prior to this update, I was trying 255, 252 0, 2, 4. which seemed better. Even 255,62.0,2,4 was smoother.

Hi Marcus. If I install Envshade into the shaderHLSL folder what directory for ENVDIR? I’ve done the Evenshade/ Envtex / ENVDIR uninstall reinstall a couple of times and ENVDIR just updates products then doesn’t open.

P3D v5.3 and 8 cores HT Enabled? 255 would be OK for HT Disabled but not so good with HT Enabled.

Try:

AffinityMask = 65493
P3DCoreAffinityMask = 16341
MainThreadScheduler = 0
RenderThreadScheduler = 1
FrameWorkerThreadScheduler = 2

Traffic is still the killer unfortunately...other than that as far as I can see, good to go.

...perhaps I mistook your post, are you saying you have a 4 core HT enabled ? In which case 255 would be set by P3D for default.

So for 4 core +HT = 8 Logical Processors. I would use:

AffinityMask = 253
P3DCoreAffinityMask = 253
MainThreadScheduler = 0
RenderThreadScheduler = 1
FrameWorkerThreadScheduler = 2

Just updated from 5.2HF1 to 5.3HF2. I'm a newbie when it comes to understanding the AM settings. 

5.3 created the following for my 10900K @ 5.3 with HT=Off in bios. Monitor is 4K@30hz. Does this look correct?

[JobScheduler]
AffinityMask=1023
P3DCoreAffinityMask=1023
MainThreadScheduler=0
RenderThreadScheduler=2
FrameWorkerThreadScheduler=4

On my system I run ActiveSky, ASCA,  Chaseplane, AivlaSoft EFB2 Server and vPilot Host Mode. Everything else is run from a client PC.

10 core HT Disabled: 1023 1023 0,2,4 is fine.

Basically with HT Disabled we can accept the P3D v5.3 settings as they will use all cores:

Plugging 10 "ones" into the BIN Field of Windows Calculator "1111111111" gives 1023 in the DEC field which means to use all 10 cores.

Hey Steve what would you use for a 9700k eight straight cores no HT ?
