P3d 3.1 before year end

[jcomm 5,961]

Do the P3D updates ALWAYS require a full install ?   What a true PITA :-/

That seems to be the issue that most have run into since the day one of V3, joystick problems. If I didn't have paid FSUIPC, I would never have gotten my CH Pedals to work in V3.

That should be interesting, despite warnings about duct taping add ons into V3, some did anyway. 

 

Including me.  UT2

It is nice to see that the platform receives updates. Likely this release will just include refinements in the code to advance performance, but who knows, maybe there will be a new feature added that will be nice to have. 

 

Rob A. - Anything you can offer here in terms of insight?

This wasn't difficult ad Pete is on holidays again...LOL

Thanks TuFun. Under "Joysticks problems"...

 

One feature I recall they discussed for future releases was something like an experimental extended LOD. 

 

And to add, I would say virtually NO developer cared for LMs file structure suggestions, as sensible as the might be. We'll see.

 

Kind regards, Michael

Looking forward to the update.  Can't think of the last time I had update issues with P3D... maybe back when I was using version 1.  Keep 'em coming!

Yes, makes me wonder if any of you actually look at the files you purchased and downloaded from LM ...  you ladies/gents can read 1500 page PMDG manuals and learn the complexity of flight and flight systems, yet reading P3D documentation seems elusive.

 

To re-iterate what it says in the Learning Center.chm:

Installer Updates

• Installer now split into three separate components which can be updated and installed independently: Client, Content, and Scenery.
• Folder organization scheme modified to support new content and scenery installers
• Updated versioning scheme for installed files 

You should have these files - the Install_Client.msi will just install the base core of P3D leaving everything else alone:

 

 

I guess I'm on secretary duty now ... do you folks want me to make you some coffee?  Tea? One lump or two? haha

 

Cheers, Rob.

 

EDIT: be aware that if there is new content or scenery and you only install client you don't get those updates.

Haha, yes please as you've just caused me to spit mine all over my monitor!

Rob, I think the question was rather if you happen to have deeper insights into the improvements of 3.1 you are allowed to share.

 

Kind regards, Michael

Lets wait and see 

[Bobsk8 12,819]

How come nobody has asked about Version 4 yet? 

[fakeflyer737 1,012]

Hopefully they'll offer better AA or at least a way to use AA (SGSS) with NVI without it actually applying the Clouds...ie FSX DX10 fixer option.

Looking forward to what LM comes out with, pushing the sim tech and community forward, hopefully someone in the know can give us a lowdown on whats planned for first patch - rather than lecture on how to suck eggs..

 

otherwise will just wait patiently and filter the dross as per usual, god bless those dev

I see you like scrabbled eggs ... coming right up. 

 

 

Rob, I think the question was rather if you happen to have deeper insights into the improvements of 3.1 you are allowed to share.

 

 

I understand what Mike was asking ... was just countering the "re-install everything again" jabs.  I have nothing I can share ... V3.x Beta process is more restrictive than V2.x process.  If I get permission to share I'll certainly pass the info along.

 

Cheers, Rob.
