June 6, 201610 yr Re: Scenery Problem with bgl airport add-ons Postby Adam Breed » Mon, 06 Jun 2016, 21:06 All, We are working towards a hotfix to resolve this issue. It should be available in the next couple days. Again, we strongly encourage all third parties to continue to update their older scenery to work under Prepar3D's newer designs. While this change was not exactly intentional - it is a result of adding capabilities to support newer functionality. We publicly disclosed that BGL was not going to be supported moving forward (over two years ago - during v2). While BGL still works and we have no intention of disabling it, it is strongly discouraged and at some point shortly we will no longer be able to advance the system while continuing to support it.

June 6, 201610 yr Makes sense to me. Let's just prepare (sic) for a new sim environment and step by step cut the cord from the old technology. Hans

June 6, 201610 yr Moderator I hope all with issues understand that this is a TEMPORARY fix. They WILL discontinue using the old technology and if a repeat of this issue is to be avoided, the developers have to either get with the program or not consider P3D a market target.

June 6, 201610 yr B-but...if they fix it, I'll have to upgrade to it. Ugh. Decisions, decisions. Some are still having issues with VAS.
June 6, 201610 yr Some are still having issues with VAS. I wonder where and under what conditions. Some folks are always having a problem with VAS. Not saying they're not caused by P3D 3.3 Gregg Seipp "A good landing is when you can walk away from the airplane. A great landing is when you can reuse it." i9 64GB RAM, GTX-5090
June 6, 201610 yr Moderator I'm wondering if the VAS issues are related to the scenery issues. It is quite possible that when something "breaks" in one place, it may have an effect in another. I don't have any affected scenery and I also do not have any VAS issues. I have one flight that was guaranteed to OOM in 3.1 - was just able to get through it in 3.2 and actually have some to spare in 3.3. I notice that the VAS recovery seems better in 3.3 - just an observation - no specific tests run. Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160
June 6, 201610 yr While BGL still works and we have no intention of disabling it, it is strongly discouraged and at some point shortly we will no longer be able to advance the system while continuing to support it. My hope is that 3rd party devs will understand this means two BGL sets going forward IF the devs plan to support FSX and P3D. I'll be interested to see if there are any performance implications with this v3.3 hotfix and see how native P3D vs. FS2002 scenery works (specifically with long frames). Native P3D scenery in current v3.3 is definitely rendering better than FS2002 scenery even with missing runways/taxi-ways (just not visible). I hope all with issues understand that this is a TEMPORARY fix. They WILL discontinue using the old technology and if a repeat of this issue is to be avoided, the developers have to either get with the program or not consider P3D a market target. Agree Vic, or not consider FSX as a market target. Cheers, Rob.

June 7, 201610 yr It seems that we have people here that behave like they are actually working for LM, even if they're not!. Btw, good move from LM to issue a hotfix to solve the issue. Whether it's temporary or not, we'll see!. I guess it will not be! (look what Fly Tampa says in its forums).
