Jack Sawyer Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Well, I backed up my system, dowloaded the Client and uninstalled and installed per Elaine's most exquisite guide and I'm happy to report it works great. And what really cool is I requested some of these fixes, among others. But one in particular, the graphics settings. Big three for me. 1. I can now have my Orb Weaver in RAW mode so now I can control the prop and mixtures properly. 2. They gave us the ability to hide non-favorite planes. 3. What I requested, the Graphics settings box now shows the last used setting like in 3.4. I use this a LOT. Chase Plane works but they say they're working on an update. And no problems with Orbx regions that I could see. I think they're all fine though. There's my little celebratory flight in A2A Cherokee at KATL. Didn't check the Carenados or PMDG yet or the Beaver. Will do so in a few. Yeah! Sad to be all alone in my skies though, it gets lonely. This was done for Gerold, it's Southern California. Thanks LM and thanks Orbx, no changes needed to Orbx stuff I reckon. Next step, Ken Hall's PTA and testing all the planes and then on to GEN!

Germany North. Haven't done that yet. So far all is good with it, testing out all my planes now and just updated AS weather. Sorry for the miscommunication.

Good trees, buildings & POI such as smoking smoke stacks. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtwillia Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Just finished updating my v4 Client too and all went well. One thing though, it is not P3D v4.1, Lockheed are calling it V4.0 Hotfix 1. Not a full version step. http://www.prepar3d.com/latest-news/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they fixed the Profile box so it would retain the name of the last used Profile and it doesn't. At least Orbx still is working great.

Thanks Adam, but I'm disappointed, the most important thing they said they fixed isn't. And that's the Grpahics Profile, it still says Custom, I use that thing more than any other part of the sim. It works perfectly in 3.4 but 4, not at all. No matter what Profile I set it always says "Custom." Argh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Ruud Thanks Ruud! I can't help myself, I love to see if a plane can do it. Some don't have fuel pumps so you'd quickly have the engine stall, I like when that's programmed. Grounded? They want me to do this! . I'm just a test pilot at heart. 5 hours ago, mikee said: Beautiful Shots Jack !

Doc Scott Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Hi Jack! They did the thing with the graphic box. You do your settings and than you press "Save Settings" give it a name and you're done. Next time you start P3D,it will show your named settings. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 3.4 I use this more than you can imagine for setting different slider settings depending or what had where I want to fly. In 3.4, if you're flying and then go to that box and select another named setting it will stay that way. For example, in 3.4 I can be flying with the "Jack" setting where the slider and shadows are set to say medium. Then I go to that box and change it to "Iain" and it will load more textures because everything is basically full right sliders. Now, when I go back to that box in flight it will still say Iain. Not so in v4. 100% of the time says Custom. So I never know what setting I have, I'd have to write it down to remember which settings Config I'm using, very annoying compared to 3.4. It's like takimg a huge step back for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott I agree, but then I'd hve to remember what it was or write it down, quite literally a huge step back to what 3.4 was. They are working with me on a thread at LM, this is very important to me so I hope I can get the same functionality as 3.4 in this regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Sure can John, I even saved over these to see if it would make a difference but nope, it always sows Custom. It SHOULD retain the last setting used. Like in 3.4.
