Well to be fair to Rob McCarthy he has just posted this http://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6312&t=140043&start=30 Hello Everyone,We are working with the HiFi Simulation Technologies developers to identify the cause of the issue. We believe it is related to a fix impacting weather themes where clouds would disappear near certain stations. We are working on addressing this and several other issues in an upcoming hotfix. Please continue to inform us of any other issues you encounter in separate topics.Regards,Rob McCarthy

What makes it difficult for the ordinary folk is that we are just left in the dark all the time and have to survive on these anecdotes- LM really need to start being more transparent or at least allow someone with your integrity the ability to properly talk to us

More bad news for 5.1 https://forums.hifisimtech.com/threads/asp3d-p3d-v5-1-update-status.13199/ Hello Everyone,The P3D 5.1 release version has an issue preventing proper EA mode weather control via SimConnect with ASP3D (or any other weather add-on). We have forwarded our findings to P3D developers and we hope that it will be resolved soon with a new P3D update.We should have our ASP3D compatible update posted very quickly after the fix is available.Thank you.

So disappointed, held out hope that this would come good eventually but this is simply not good enough for a professional product- I really have no choice but to go back to v4 now as its has the tools to make the sim look nice. All hope sits with MS and Asobo now for 2020, didn't think I would be saying that but P3D is just not moving quickly enough to be anywhere near competitive

5.1 is overdue now compared to previous release cycles, just hope they haven't hit a brick wall with DX12 and development. Getting hold of cards with more VRAM is near impossible currently

I had this, deleting the mod for the refresh rate of the glass cockpit sorted for me. have you got that or any other community mods installed ?

Of course the models have full PBR treatment- and we are very much looking forward to Lockheed Martin releasing an update to their engine's capabilities (v5.1, we hope?) Sort of! If you combine this announcement with the predicted launch pattern of every 6 months. PMDG are of course on the LM beta

Well, they both became beta testers so the forum cop roles paid off for them in the end lol.... don't know why LM just don't move to open beta- its not like they have anything radical to hide from the competition now because IMHO the P3d platform will most likely play 2nd or even 3rd place in the sim world going forward. LM don't even offer much support to the current release version so its not like their support workload would increase!! I like the way MS are talking to their customers even if it means some turbulence along the way, they never used to be like this in previous versions of Fsim so its very progressive of them to invest in this element of comms

+1. 6 months today... would have expected .1 to be announced by now. Its the 1 thing I applaud MS for because at least they are communicating with their customers, LM are preferring to remain in the dark age with the wall of silence

I think he's referring to anisotropic filtering?

When you click the sync position , you are actually clicking either side of the target detent. So you create an area that the handle will sit within

Think it's unlikely hifi are working on 2020, the SDK excludes weather at this point. Think your warmer with the p3d 5.1 idea, let's hope so anyway!

Beau Hollis said they chose to stick to the ocean legacy features for perf reasons

It remains to be seen and we can hope but I highly doubt we will see all of the features implemented. A good example was the Sundog Triton water implementation which was heavily scaled back in terms of what p3d could render v what the package was capable with in terms of ocean modelling. Hope I am wrong, but hey I requested truesky back in 2011 via the LM request forums... dream come true still!

I'm going back to P3d these days so will definitely buy this, sure 2020 is great for some sightseeing etc but the romance has warn off now. As a sim 2020 is just far too console like for me especially the handling. Give it 12 months and I will probably or hopefully change my mind !

I was plagued by this since using FDS throttle quadrant and system boards. The best solution I found was directly in the registry by navigating to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB and then finding my USB ID and disabling the setting but an easier way round is. WARNING do not do this unless you understand the risks of manually editing the registry, ensure you have backed it up before making changes also. search the registry for EnhancedPowerManagementEnabled, usually the setting is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB for windows 10 64bit registry set this to a 0 (zero) next find SelectiveSuspendEnabled and set that to 0 (zero) alternatively I have a little program which does this for you but you need to know the 4 digit USB vendor ID, you can get that from FSUIPC scan joysticks http://uraster.com/en-us/products/usbenhancedpowermanagerdisabler.aspx

Have you installed the digital license ?

getting same. DL has hung twice now and had to restart

fs2020 has disrupted or even wrecked some folks business models, especially wx and texture add-ons. I think a little diplomacy and consideration is in order even though some dubious decisions are perceived to have been made.

Lol thanks, didn't mean it literally as this was a figure of speech! What I meant was an SDK so hifi can get full use of the EA part

If 5.1 means EA comes out of beta with a full sdk to open the doors I will be v happy

I find that if i fly in stormy wx over the sea ie a hurricane, the waves react to the strong wind even though its 3kts! So its like the wind data is there but some kind of sim related bug is blocking it

There is a lot of talk that there will be a 20gb version, Lenovo released some sort of blurb and then retracted it so my advice is wait for a bit

Just wish LM would get their act together and get 5.1 out the door or just get the EA (trusky) out of beta, 5.02 is ok but I may aswell stayed with v4 with the new wx visuals the way they are currently. Without a good shader mod tool v5 non EA looks mediocre compared to an up-revved v4, so much that I am on a fsim hiatus since April really.

Be aware that there is a big issue with the current RTM simconnect, when its active your FPS will nosedive so be warned this is a m$ problem !
