SierraDelta

I filled in the questionnaire and IIRC there was no authentication check of my submission, meaning that I could actually fill in the questionnaire more than once had I wanted to. A serious flaw in any type of statistical undertaking. In my VA (1000+ members) the numbers logged by our ACARS software tell a very different story: P3Dv4 58%, P3Dv3 4%, XP10/11 9%, figures are from July 2018.

I dropped using a P3D AM setting when P3Dv4 was launched, but I do believe that it's good practice to keep add-on programs away from Core 0. No need to use Process Lasso, batchfiles etc. since FSUIPC5 has an often overlooked function to do this for you, such as: [Programs] Run1=CLOSE,AM=4,D:\Program Files (x86)\HiFi\AS_P3Dv4\AS_P3Dv4.exe Run2= ... Pretty self-explanatory, but you can look in the FSUIPC5 for Advanced Users manual for all the details of how to use.

Rob, Many thanks for this summary. Playing around with these 3 settings has completely done away with all black building textures and black/silvery AI aircraft at EGLL Pro - brilliant. Looks like we're back on track, David!

There's nothing water-related listed in the Content section of the change log, whereas the Client section has a few items: Fixes and Improvements Made optimizations to water rendering by removing unneeded emissive samples on water-only tiles. ... Fixed inconsistent specular and emissive values between land, water, and land+water shader variations. ... Improved water appearance in cube maps used for reflections.

Read the Content and Scenery sections of this: http://www.prepar3d.com/SDKv4/prepar3d/what_is_new/new_v44.html and see if there's anything you need in there - most likely not!

You probably used the link in the first post, right? There is an updated link in a post about the middle of page 2.

Loads of info here:

You could start using Named Assignments (p.73 of the manual)

Nothing wrong there. Although poorly rendered, that structure is there in real life to protect central parts of Steenokkerzeel from noise.

Totally normal to see a Beta at this time, but v1.0 should be out this week. The manual has been released and is available here: https://oldprop.com/documents/manuals/ChasePlane.pdf

Available now - downloading as we speak ...

... and it's RELEASED! Going for a download as I type 😄 edit 33 inclu vat, 27 without. Euros and 22 if you owned Mega Airport Madrid. Where did you get the 40 ? There is no Simmarket release. Strange 😞 Apologies, my mistake, for some reason I had stumbled across an AS site that was showing the price in US dollars!! 😏 Ooops, but I did remove the post almost immediately once I had realised the mistake. I must be 'losing it' in my old age 😕 Sorry for the angry post, it should have been removed! Although in my defence, if it had have been in euros, I think I would have been excused 😉 Patience, my padawan, simmarket releases always take some minutes to hours, as they first verify the files etc. Here you go: https://secure.simmarket.com/aerosoft-mega-airport-madrid-professional-p3d4-(de_12017).phtml BTW: what baffles me all the time with sceneries from Simwings is their size. Yes, Madrid is a big arport, but 3+ GB? The Simwings airports are by far the biggest one regarding file size in my setup and honestly, I have no clue why...

Upper left corner - button labelled Forum ?

Could well be. There were a number of people reporting various issues on the QW forums (check there!) and they were largely resolved by upgrading to 4.2 - worth a try.
