BTW , reached out to Maxine. very helpful and responsive.. Seems very willing to assist. Thank you for the tip @vgbaron Pete

No, i did not reach out Maxime directly, did not know that was the person to contact but i will. I did, however, post to FB, their forum and sent a direct email ( x3) for help with no reply so far.

No! i did not have p3d assistant installed an all i have managed to achieved so far by installing envtex is continuous ctd's I think i can delete the shaders in p3dv4 and they will regenerate. I might be wrong . Pete

So I installed Envtex with envdir. Crashed to desktop every time I run my p3dv4 installation. Does anyone have any experience with this? Peter

Thank you! that makes life simple! Regards. Peter

Thank you all for the replies. What I have found so far ( and i did purchase envtex for p3dv4 ) is that it is crashing my sim. Not good but working through the bugs. I will probably explore other options. Thank you for the "rate of change answer above @jimcarrel . I was unclear on how that behavior worked from within the sim I also am unclear on what "in sim" setting you use for a weather theme. In other words, when using a 3rd party addon for weather do you select a predefined theme or do you set to "custom weather". There is no specific setting for an add-on package other than there is a setting for "opus weather" in the weather profiles. Just curious if it even matters or if the 3rd part all simply takes control Regards Peter

I have been experimenting with wx add-ons this week. I would like to get some advice on what the experience has been with the - weather rate of change slider in sim Question: I wonder if you the weather injection working better when the slider is off or on.....set in the sim? It also seems that the sim wants to reset that slider in my situation to zero every time I start the sim Perhaps it does not matter as a 3rd party weather solution takes control regardless but I'm not sure i understand what is best or going on behind the scene BTW. I'm experimenting with fsrealwx and fsxwx with (envtex or soft clouds ) .They all seem to work but I'm not sure I'm getting the best results I like to fly with real weather injected from the 3rd party ap Advice? Peter

Yup i did all of that I will try downloading from another source because there seems to be only one file in the download zip. i think the textures are all missing from what i can see The exe is running but can't find textures. no big deal if i cant get it to work , just experimenting to get better cloud textures in v4 Thanks Pete

Anyone had luck installing the HDE Sky Textures V2.0 into p3dv4 I downloaded the product twice and it will not install. It gets about 3/4 of the way through and says it is looking for a file and then quits. There is only one file in the download so I'm stuck Maybe I'm missing something Help, thoughts? Peter

Well, now I just feel plain dumb....The note about navigations visuals was the correct reference. I do not recall ever even going into that menu but I must have done something because the item was checked. Thanks for the tip and unchecking the item in that menu solved my problem Thanks to aeronaut! Peter

thanks for merging them , i was not exactly sure what to do as the question was slightly different but it all helps regardless Thank you Peter

Im getting allot of odd blue lines with my AI- traffic and a few other odd anomalies ( i basically have what could only be described as blue contrails trailing behind the path of all traffic.) very odd I recall i could delete my fsx.cfg file and it would regen. Can i do the same with p3d v4.cfg Are there any other files that i can delete that will regenerate to default upon a restart. I would like to allow the sim to reset Something has gone crazy and i cant figure it out so rather than reinstall i would like to give this a shot Thank you Peter

well for some reason I could not take a screenshot but I have isolated the blue streaks to traffic. It seems as though the streaks are created in the wake of all AI. Imagine a blue "contrail" behind all aircraft even when taxing on the ground.. Ill try repairing all of the textures but beyond that i don't know what to do.

Thanks next time it happens ill take a screenshot Pete

Thank you, I noticed on the card that the temps were in the 60's and the memory was only at about 10% ( but the program from asus ) measuring this could be incorrect. Is it a memory issue typically or did i mess up some setting? I feel like this could be just about anything so maybe a reset program repair is in order... Peter

While using p3d -v4 i am now getting randon blue streaks and tearing across my screen. ( random ) I am running a 1080 ti card. Setting - graphics at about 75% I tried it with vsync on and off . same situation What would cause this situation typically? Peter

I did try it and it seems reasonable but there are just so many endless scenarios I was hoping for advice . It seems to work well at 8 vs 16 and runs a bit cooler as well. Frames are within 10% thanks Pete

I have a hardware question for you guys. I have a 1080ti and 980ti card on a extreme Maximus vi board (rog). I run three monitors . I put the main sim on the 1080ti and the other two monitors which are used for undocked gauges and info - that is where I use the 908ti.On my board I will only get 16x throughput if I use one card. If I use 2 cards it gets throttled to 8x on each slot . Does anyone here have enough experience to say I would get better performance using all 3 monitors on one card at 16x or split it up with 2 monitors on the 980ti and the sim on the other 1080ti at 8x. thanks? This is for p3d v4 and fsx se ( w 10 x64) 0

Hi all Will this program help with my main issue of vc acuity "Anyone know how to really improve the acuity in the vc. ( p3dv4 and 3 ) I have been using a 980ti card a 4k hd monitor ( Asus ) and although I tried endless combos of aa, in sim high res settings. and a variety of high res monitor settings the vc is still blurry and just not crisp. The is true for stock ms and other planes ( mostly Carenado. ). It might be these old eyes but im curious if anyone really knows how to make those texture super crisp." Looking for a solution and ideas Thank you. Peter

Thanks for the update. Just trying to keep up with things ( which is not always as easy as it seems ) aAs always thanks for the hard work and excellent products . Pete

so is it possible at this time to move the window? how do I dio that. Beta? new version? update? Peter

excellent news and thank you for the update Peter

Are there any updates to this. From what i read above it was to happen during the summer. It is now October so an update would be helpful. I purchased the 750 gtn ( which i love btw!) but it takes allot of screen real estate. Please update ... I want to move it to a second monitor! Peter

Hi I am having this problem, did you simply reinstall or repair.? Pete
