So I followed what you said above... turns out it wasn't PTA. I hadn't installed the dynamic lighting mod that came with the UK2000 scenery, which confused me as I don't use dynamic lighting anyway, but once I installed that it returned to normal. Thanks for the help though....

Well yeah, I know it's that, I'm asking for the specific setting in which I need to alter, I don't know what effect each one is having on the sim. It looks amazing apart from the issue I'm having so I don't want to tweak anything incase I lose what already makes it look good.

Hi all, I've just updated to P3D v4.4 and installed the latest version of PTA and Matt's Dec preset. I've loaded in at Manchester and straight away, most things I notice are now black. See screenshots below, aircraft is black, wing is black, the VC is totally black, can't see where the switches are, the scenery on the ground looks pretty, you've guessed, black. lol. I kinda know it's a lighting thing that needs tweaking but I have no idea what specific setting this is, it's too black for me, I need to make it a bit more lighter so I can see what's going on. http://prntscr.com/lqq3mb http://prntscr.com/lqq4rp http://prntscr.com/lqq54t Kind regards, Charlie

Matt does have his own which is quite nice, you can find it by typing in his name into REX. The daytime sky textures are pretty cool.

I haven't tried re-installing the default textures, I might try that if it happens again. I've got a preset from Aviationlads which seems to work fine. When I pressed apply to apply the preset, the issue was still there. I then backed out the sim and loaded up PTA and clicked apply a few times in PTA and for some reason the brown haze has disappeared, it's as though it didn't apply the preset properly first time....strange

I use REXSkyForce sky textures

Hi, I'm getting this problem. I'm using the latest version of PTA and the latest version of P3D. I start with default shaders in the sim and then I apply a PTA preset and I get this: http://prntscr.com/irpnjr I've read other posts on here regarding other people that have experienced the same problem, but there doesn't seem to be a conclusion to this. I get this problem with quite a few different presets so I don't think it's a problem with a specific preset. I've tried the usual reinstall of the client, reinstall default shaders etc but it still doesn't work. If anybody could help me. Thanks.

I don't, no.

@Prayog I've re-installed FSUIPC4 and it worked. Thanks.

@willy647 Thanks for your reply - I've tried deleting the config and it doesn't work. @qqwertzde I don't own the PMDG 747 so it's not installed for me. @Prayog I'll try re-installing FSUIPC4, thanks.

Hi, I don't know if anyone could help or if anyone has come across the same issue. I go to open Prepar3d on my PC and the splash screen appears then after that, a screen should come up giving you the option to select your aircraft and starting airport etc. I don't get that screen. The splash screen disappears and nothing displays. I check my task manager and see that Prepar3d is still running in the task manager but not displaying. It doesn't show as running in the taskbar either. I've not changed anything in the sim either, it just randomly started occurring when I came to load P3D the other day. Can anyone help me please? I'm running latest P3D with all hotfixes, latest GPU driver and latest Windows 10 updates. Thanks, Charlie

Hi Keven, My mistake, I thought that the Arrow with a line under it is meant to minimize it to your icon dock at the bottom right. I can see now that I can minimize it to my icon dock by clicking the line button. The VAS seems to have sorted itself out as well so I'm not too sure what it was. Cheers.

Hey all, I've been using the latest ChasePlane alpha version which is v0.1.571. Just today I noticed a couple of things that aren't working for me. It could just be me though. When I launch chaseplane I get an icon on my taskbar and in my tray therefore when I click the minimise to tray icon it indicates red because I guess it's already seen an instance of ChasePlane in the tray, but it's not minimised to my tray if that makes sense? http://prntscr.com/dzhvxg http://prntscr.com/dzhwc1 Also, the VAS indicator seems stuck for me. It's constantly showing -3.91. I'm running Prepar3d with the latest hotfix from them. The last issue I'm having is that I can't use static cameras. It's telling me that my simulator version doesn't support it even though I'm running the latest version P3D 3.4 with hotfix 2 applied. Thanks.

Hi Michael, Yes that has fixed it Thank you.
