    Navigraph charts v8.28 showing through Volanta

    in Volanta

    Posted · Edited by sidfadc

    Accessing Navigraph through Volanta only shows v8.28 not 8.29 which was just released?  I've updated my Navigraph charts to 8.29 but seems the Volanta integration only pulls through 8.28?  There is no option to update Navigraph charts through Volanta (which makes sense from an integration point of view).


    My Volanta is v1.6.2 and when I check for updates says none available.  Do you guys have to force this through somehow?

    We should have fixed this, but if it's still causing issues drop a line to support at https://Orbx.to/volanta-support and the team there will help you out!

    Tested this tonight after you said it was fixed, it isn't for me.  Same error and failure to post the picture on the moving map mid flight.

     

    I raised a ticket via the above link and was told it was being looked into, not sure if this was before/after fix was implemented.  I've had no further updates to the ticket yet.

    I always resize screenshots down to 2000 pixels wide or max 3000 for a panorama shot, and set the jpg quality to a Max of 90%, that's all you need to show off even the best shot. 

     

    Plenty of free resize programs out there if you don't have a graphics program. 

    Shouldn't have too, point of the feature is take a screenshot and upload it midflight so it appears on the map for others to see (and like), not fanny about with resizing tools.

    hmm still broke for me, is it anything to do with fact I now fly in 4K?  Screenshots are 4K and I'm wondering if increase in file size is an issue?  Previously I was flying in 1080P with no issues.  I don't see any options in the settings to downscale the images.  I'm using GeForce Experience to take the screenshot and on closer inspection it outputs a PNG file, and the last screenshot I took was a generic wing view and its coming in at 16MB which seems quite large for a screenshot image however the resolution is at 4k.  I reckon this is why its failing in Volanta?

     

    Is this the official forum for Volanta issues because it appears a little dead around here?

    Everytime I try to upload a screenshot onto the moving map I get "screenshot failed to upload - can't connect to the server" error

     

    This is followed by a camera stamp on the map (as expected) but the actual picture is blank.

     

    I've used this feature heavily before, I have moved to a new PC however so is it a config setting?  I've setup the folder where Volanta detects where my screenshots are, I've removed/reinstalled the plugin and check all other settings, they appear correct.

     

    Any ideas?

    We have edited the functionality of the Navigraph tab that was there and it is now called 'Browser' it works in fundamentally the same way as previous except you can now access a wider range of websites and bookmark them. To get the charts up you can go to charts.navigraph.com in the Browser tab. We did pop an announcement out on our Discord which i know not everyone uses so i will take a look at other ways we can communicate updates with everyone on the forums etc.. hope this helps :)

    a ha perfect - I don't believe this golden nugget about accessing charts.navigraph.com was in the change log.  Best place for it to go if you ask me.

    Alaska Mesh texture loading

    in Microsoft Flight Simulator Support Forum

    Posted · Edited by sidfadc

    Just bought the Mesh along with newly released PAKT.  Taking quick discovery flight just north of PAKT and all the mountain ranges have incredibly slow loading textures, then only pop in as a I get close and sometimes not at all.  Looks like a bit of a mess?

     

    I have my terrain level of detail at 150, High texture resolution.

     

    For some reason I can't upload an image...grrr

     

    EDIT:  Just took off from KEB and it seems ok?  Some issue with the newly released PAKT maybe?  The only Alaska freeware I have is PABR which is right on the North west of the State - highly unlikely to clash with the texture issues?  I've not tried disabling it yet.


    EDIT 1: Spoke too soon, seeing similar kind of issues east of KEB........hmmmm.

     

    Any ideas?

    Orbx regions, night lighting control panel

    in FSX Support Forum

    Posted · Edited by sidfadc

    awesome thanks, can't wait to test it out.  Funny I fly a lot on the west coast on Pilotedge and have all the full fat regions and always thoughts the lighting looked "weird", now I know why!

     

    Hmmm in addition to the screenshot by Nick I also have this option for some of my full fat regions

     

    New night lights

    Turn new night lights on or off (default = enabled)

     

    So how does this differ from the option in the screenshot above.  I obviously don't want two sets of lights so do I check this box as well???
