TigerTigerM Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Looking very good Jack. There are so many overlapping products now in the Textures & weather fields, I lose track & sometimes am not sure which ones are working in a flight. (Eg, Envtex, Rex Textures Direct & Airport Buildings & Weathers & Soft Clouds, AS/ASCA etc) Which "Rex" are you using?? TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, everything was Orbx, then I was using Adam Bank's latest PTA, and as for REX I'm using Iain's em3 but slightly modified. Here's the screens, ASCA setting included.

Stillwater Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Very realistic looking shots, Jack. And thanks for sharing your settings - soon I´ll come back to that (when I cross the river towards P3D). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTigerM Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Very interesting screen grabs Jack. This was P3D v3.4? It looks to me as though Envtex & Rex Texture Direct cover similar territory. I have the Entex in v3.4, but Rex is back burnered. I think I will try the Rex TD with Soft Clouds in v4. If you have Rex TD with Soft Clouds & AS16/ASCA both active, who's clouds are you getting?? Or do they play together nicely?? Since you are a dab hand at the settings screen grabs I may request a few from your v3.4 set up. Just need to sort out which ones.

I never liked Soft Clouds, even in 3.4 so I always used ASCA. And I should untick the two cloud boxes in REX because ASCA overrides REX's clouds anyway. What screens grabs do you need? I don't use REX anymore in 3.4 or ASCA, just AS4 for weather with the default cloud set from P3D 3.4. Nor do I use a PTA in 3.4, I've been spending most of my time in V4 trying to get it looking good, all I really need is Orbx's stuff and I'll be finished with 3.4. So in 3.4 I've been using Iain's HDR settings and nothing else really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Adam, it took a while but it's about as good as it'll get unless I learn PTA. Waiting for Adam Bank's new PTA and see how that looks. Hopefully tomorrow I can fly to my two new airports, bought 'me the other day but been so busy I haven't had a chance to go there, and it has to be in 3.4 too but I keep a close eye on VAS.

TigerTigerM Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 "Untick the 2 Rex boxes" - handy info re clouds. I'll come back later today with screen grab request & just do what you can. I put Simstarter NG into v4 yesterday & dealing with the 'oops" - not quite that bad, but Simstarter & PTA were wresting in the dust a bit & I had some weird elevations. S45 in a canyon. It didn't turn up on the Vector list so I uninst/reinstalled & that fixed it. Simstarter NG in v3.4 has been tamed & does a good job feeding in the parts of the world I want in a flight & keeping the others out. My main problems in v4 are that I am getting scenery shimmering ahead of the aircraft when viewed from 'following the aircraft" view, & airport white lines do a 'break dance' as you fly over them. Plus massive stuttering out of Southampton. So I am casting about for a good set of v4 settings hoping that may fix things. As more stuff is added on to v4, things can get a bit messy. When I first loaded v4 & had very little in it I was getting 100 fpfs out in the country. Now I get about 50 fps & drops down to 30 or a bit less around towns.

TigerTigerM Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Jack Screen grabs - only if they don't drive you nuts. Very interested in your settings. P3D v3.4 P3D Scenario Set Up - Options - Settings - 1 each of Graphics, Scenery & Lighting. P3D v4 Options - Graphics 1 each of Display, World, Lights.

Thanks TTM Easy peasy TTM, I'll probably email them to you, but gimme a few hours as I have real stuff I need to do. Also, I use a bunch of graphics settings, one for heavy jets, one for low and slow short flights, and others. So it will be image heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack, I usually ending up tweaking the PTA to my liking anyway in the graphic section. Like Adam said, every system is different and it is.
