Sniper31 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Me either....everything Orbx that I have seems to run fine in P3Dv 5.1. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 hello, there is the minor problem of objects appearing through cloud and fog. However, this is a recognised problem and is being worked upon. It should not detract from your enjoyment of your Orbx products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a good point Nick, and I didn't think of it as I have been flying with EA turned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Me too, it seems better to leave it alone until it really is finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Correia Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 It appears that LM have fixed the “dark objects through the clouds” with a beta that is in testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm experiencing this issue in 4.5 HF3 as well, and V5 with EA off. Do you happen to know if the proposed upcoming fix will also fix the 4.5 and non-ea occurrences as well please?

CZZ Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 Sniper31: My full install did not go well; did you do a full install? It looks like v5.1 is not using True Earth; are you using TEarth? Notes: I did the full install per Nick's instructions, including Sync Simulator, deleting the Prepar3D.cfg file and the Shaders folder. V5.1 shows TEarth scenery enabled. V5 HF2 was excellent.

CZZ, 1) Yes, I did a full install of P3D v5.1, and followed Nick's guide to the letter. All worked as he described in his guide. 2) No, I am not a True Earth user, so I have never tried installing Ture Earth, in any sim, as I have never wanted it. I hope that answers your questions. One of the biggest takeaways from Nick's excellent guide is that you must follow every step exactly as he has noted. Exactly. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZZ Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 Sniper31: Did you run Delete Generated Files batch file per Nick's instructions? I have not done so yet. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZZ Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 Sniper31: OK, the install changed only a few of my settings, and they happen to be crucial. Fortunately, I had snapshots of my settings for v5.0 HF2, so I am practically at the same enjoyment level as with v5. BTW, I have not seen any "dark objects through the clouds" issues. Take care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least, that's how it is for me and only with Enhanced Atmospherics enabled. And, it's not all dark objects, just certain kinds. For instance, on my install/system a lot of the 'dark objects' that will show through the haze are water towers. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enhanced Atmospherics is disabled in my setup. Take care I did NOT run the Delete Generated files batch, BUT that is because I had already deleted all the necessary files manually, per instructions on the Lockheed Martin P3D website.
