Hi,

Did you move/rename the C:\RealityXP folder?

There is 2 files : RXP-GTN750-X9.lic and  rxpGTN-XPL-Setup.exe

By the way, I reinstalled the GTN 750 this morning and so far is still working! Hopefully, it stays like that, maybe what I have did different this time,  is to exclude the Reality-xp folder from the windows defender scan! 

No, I didn't rename nor remove the C:\RealityXP folder!

Hello
I have a very annoying problem with my GTN750.This problem happened a year ago may be 4 or 5 times, but I didn't bother to contact  customer service, because I didn't use the flight simulator since then. Yesterday, I downloaded the F1 wrapper, clicked on reinstall and I entered my credentials and was able to reinstall the GTN 750 without problem.
I did short flight and the product was working fine. After an hour or so, I fired up Xplane11, but the GTN start up screen was showing "Reality-XP software invalid or expired"
my guess was that someone else stole my license, so I contacted F1 software and they told me that the software was installed from a single IP, since its purchase! And they told me if I have this problem again to contact you guys! Which I'm doing right now!
Please help me to solve this problem, because it's becoming very frustrating!
My order number is [*****].Let me know if you need any additional information!
Thanks in advance

anyone?

I keep reading how great the night lighting is in XP. I just can't agree. The airports are way too dark and the lighting isnt diffuse, I really have trouble seeing while taxing etc. In flight, there are these unrealistic blocks of light, simulating neighborhoods or towns, which don't look realistic to me. In Prepar3d with Orbx, I find the night lighting is much better and realistic. I keep thinking there is some setting I am missing in XP to improve my night effects because I just don't see it.

I respect your opinion, but you are completely wrong my friend.P3d lights with or without orbx is a piece of sh**t.The lighting in xplane is just awesome.

I just hope they find a way around the limitations of the turboprop modeling in xp10...

As far as i know, the turboprops are properly modeled in xplane.What limitations are you talking about? 

regards

Thanks efis007, i really appreciate your help.

The weird horizontal layering in the blue color for the sky depends on texture "gradient color uniformity."

If the color is not uniform they see small horizontal stripes.

Example, this gradient is not uniform:

 

 

"Is this a limitation from X-Plane?"      Yes Sir!

 

Each X-plane sky texture is 128 horizontal pixels x 32 vertical pixels.

 

With 32 vertical pixels are generated 32 individual horizontal stripes on the texture, this graphic artifact is inevitable.

 

The trick to have a nice sky gradient... with 32 pixel only... is to make more "smooth color stripes" possible.

 

The X-plane sky is very similar to the microsoft FS sky.

X-plane, FS9, FSX, etc, use too small textures to represent the sky dome.

 

640 x 160 pixels (ie 128 x 32 multiplied by 4) would be preferred to represent the sky dome without graphical artifacts.

128 x 32 pixels are too few. 

Can you please show me how to do it?i really hate the sky gradient in xplane.

THanks in advance 

Oh my god i can't believe we will have this beauty in xplane!!!

Thanks guys for your work.what about the flight dynamics?how the plane is behaving compared to the real mad dog?

Hi stphen

i use the latest beta of opusfsi with P3d v3.1 and i noticed that i when in cruise altitude with my Pmdg Ngx, the visibility is always low.I was told in facebook post to disable the volumetric fog in p3d to get normal visibilty.I have both option enabled in p3d and opusfsi.Can you plz tell me what is going on, i don't want to lose the volumetric fog option, because it adds a lot of immersion to my flight sim.

Best regards

kais

Hi stephen

i'm wondering if you plan to support x-plane in the future version.I love opusfsi and i'd love to see these wonderful features in xplane.

Best regards

kais

hi stephen
Since my last message, i didnt had a problem with opusfsi pdk dll, today i installed the last beta and i have this message, when i fire up p3d.
OpusPDK.dll out of date
The opuspdk library in you p3d modules folder is not fully compatible with the current opusFsi version.please refer to the opuspdk_setup.txt in your opusfsi folder or the opuspdk setup guide in the configure dialog for instructions.
 
what i did i removed the opuspdk.dll from the modules directory, uninstalled opusfsi, reinstalled it , i checked my modules folder and find the opuspdk.dll there ,but when i start opusfsi i have the same message.
 here my dll.xml

can you please try if my prepa3d.cfg is working fine for you?

thanks in adavance

Hi stephen

i fixed the problem by deleting prepar3d.cfg file and regenerating it.I don't know what wrong with the old file, but now opusfsi is controlling p3d cameras.

thanks again stephen

Hi stephen

i installed OpusFSI Release Version 4.48.7 and i have a little problem with the camera module, the weather engine is working fine.When i start opusfsi, i cant control the camera and the dhm is no longer working.

after hours of troubelshooting, i desactivated the p3d PDK module and everything went back and opusfsi is controling p3d cameras systems. I dont undestand why because have the enty set up correctly in dll.xml and i have OpusPDK.dll is in my modules folder.i unistalled opusfsi and simconnect and  reinstalled them,but  didnt solve the problem.

can you help me please to fix this problem  stephen.

thx in advance

kais

i'll check this out

Thanks again Stephen for you excellent support, opus fsi  the best weather engine ever.

its my pleasure Stephen

is it possible to have a summary of the flight  like the information bellow on weather report?

This topic is a big thanks to sheryl and stephen for their great work on opusfsi.

i have been away since a few months and the last version i installed on my computer was 4.10 and today i installed the last version and i was amazed of the clouds depiction  and clouds layers.It's truly amazing.( i have tried Active sky next and fsgrw and none equals opus fsi).

i have a little request: in active sky next there is an option to hide the aircraft when entring in the clouds, is it possible to implement this option in opus?

apart from that every thing looks good so far.

thanks for this master piece guys

hi

i use OpusFSI  4.40 in default update mode.

the strange thing when i update for the first time the dhm is disabled, but if i update for the second time the dhm is back on.

thx

hi stephen

i had a problem:

when i update weather the dhm stops working and stay like that until i resart fsiserver.

can you fix this problem?

thanks in advance

Thx stephen i'll try it and i'll report back.

Hi Stephen

i didn't try the beta yet.Here's a little  report

I don't have any interfering eye-point program and after some troubleshooting i found something out.The problem is related to DHM,because when i disable it, everything works fine, but he main FSISERVER  is not responding ( even though the panning sequence is playing fine).Is there any reason why FSISERVER  is not responding when playing the panning sequence?

update

 i forgot to mention that i use the panning view imported  from  Opus_Panning_Sequences.PSF

in the spy window i have the error
