Test flights

Recommended Posts

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??

Hi TTM, here's screens of my settings.

 

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.

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).

Thanks Gerold!  Yep, I look forward to your new sim and shots!

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.

Hi TTM.  I'm using P3Dv4.

 

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.

Fantastic combination you have there Jack, really nice! :)

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.

"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.

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.

Email is good.

We are probably a bit off topic now. :)

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.:)
