answered P3D4.5HF2 - Are Global Textures issues fixed?

[Airwolf]

Hi guys,

 

Just wondering with the release of HF2 for Prepar3d v4.5.  Is the global texture fix done by LM.   I know the bug was discovered and LM had to fix it?  Any news on that front.

 

Thanks,

I read no reference to this in the p3D hotfix announcement

This is it, I believe.

Fixed issue where add-on land class textures would not be loaded in some cases.

Right now with release 4.0.15 - I am unable to install global textures outside the sim with P3D4.5_HF2

[BrianV]

In Central V4.0.15 there seems to be no option to "uninstall" Global Textures. I would do this, normally, when installing a fresh P3D, and then reinstall Global Textures. Is it enough to "repair" Global Textures" rather than re-run a full install of it? Thanks for any advice.

[Nick Cooper]

You can "uninstall" by removing the version text.

Where that is depends on which installer you used and how you installed it.

[BrianV]

Thanks Nick. I installed it time ago via FTX Central before moving to ORBX Central (4.0.15). All other products have the "unstall" tab.  Not sure I understand what you mean by "version text". Should I do it "manually" in the Orbx folder? 

[Nick Cooper]

Hello,

if you used FTX Central, then you should look for ORBX\User Documents\Versions\FTX_GLOBAL_BASE_PACK.txt

and either delete or rename it.

[BrianV]

Perfect thanks. This did the trick!

Hey guys,

 

The 4.0.15 installer does not allow to install Global outside the sim.  I would like to test it out and see it with HF2 as apparently the global texture bug is fixed now

Hi @Airwolf

 

We've disabled the ability to install Global Base outside the simulator for all users until we've tested internally that the issue is resolved with HF2.
