Hi all, I recently just made v2.68 of PTA available which brings compatibility for Prepar3D v4.5 HotFix 3 only. Please note: v2.68 is ONLY compatible with Prepar3D v4.5 HotFix 3, use v2.67 for Prepar3D v4.5 HotFix 2. You can find the download (and all previous versions) via your order page on the SimTweaks website. I know there are lots of questions regarding a version of PTA for P3D v5. I haven't had a proper chance to put v5 through its paces and see what it would take to bring PTA in to v5. It may happen, it may not. Having said that, I promised you all that I'd keep PTA up to date with v4 and I've stuck to that promise, irrespective of all of the negativity and constant "let's attack Matt for the sake of it" word not allowed (there are plenty of nice people too, I haven't forgotten that). I suppose that concludes PTA's P3D v4 journey in it's current state - it's been an interesting one. Thanks, Matt.

Hi Dave, Make sure you're using the correct version of PTA for your version of P3D. You can find which to use in the pinned topic within this forum. If you're still having issues after that, let me know :) Cheers, Matt.

I have applied this tweak several times now to test & I cannot reproduce. Are you getting any red errors in the console at the bottom of the application when you press apply?

Error loading with pta 2.66
MattDavies replied to biloo's topic in P3D Tweak Assistant (PTA) and RealismShaderPack
I've already explained what the situation is many a time, but sure, I'll explain again. 1) PTA has been rewritten from scratch. It is about 95% completed however due to a failed investment (which unfortunately I had zero control over), the person who developed it didn't get paid and thus wont release the code. We both have come to an agreement that will come to light soon enough. 2) That is point 1... 3) It's fixed. 4) & 5) ...? -
The SimTweaks website & PTA activation servers have been offline for approx 16hrs - they're now back up and running and will continue to be. The issue was actually something that hadn't even crossed my mind until it happened. If you don't know, I run a community project named projectFLY. We use Google to host our servers. I have SimTweaks, PTA Activation & projectFLY on the same Google account, which yesterday afternoon was suspended due to billing issues (It's a community based app which relys on various factors that weren't available to it). As a result, that also took the SimTweaks website and the PTA Activation system offline. I've now separated the two so that should projectFLY ever go down again, SimTweaks & PTA Activation will remain online. It was an oversight on my part & for that I can only apologise.

Can't Register
MattDavies replied to BadgerBtU's topic in P3D Tweak Assistant (PTA) and RealismShaderPack
You can now register - the servers were down for about 16hrs. I had them on the same cluster as another project and when that went offline, it took PTA offline too. I've now separated them so it doesn't happen again. -
Error loading with pta 2.66
MattDavies replied to biloo's topic in P3D Tweak Assistant (PTA) and RealismShaderPack
Are you ok, Adam? It went offline for less than 24hrs. That's the second time in 2.5 years. Sure, it's frustrating & the timing isn't great but it is what it is. It's back up now, everything is stabilised. Just go outside, take a walk, letting things like the above get to you to that level isn't healthy. I know this too well, I spent most of my 20's getting mad at the most trivial things. -
Excellent.

Error Shader File: Fresh Install
MattDavies replied to Rocky_53's topic in P3D Tweak Assistant (PTA) and RealismShaderPack
By the same sentiment, the last 2.5 years haven't posed a difference in shaders between versions, so why now? Sure it's something I need to be aware of in the future but until it became a problem, I wasn't really ever to know about it.
