Any Orbx problems with the new v5.1 update to P3D?

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.

That is a good point Nick, and I didn't think of it as I have been flying with EA turned off.

It appears that LM have fixed the “dark objects through the clouds” with a beta that is in testing. 

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?

 

All the best

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

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

The issue with seeing the dark objects is through fog/haze, not so much clouds. 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

Did you run Delete Generated Files batch file per Nick's instructions?

 

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.

 

Cheers
