Re: P3D v6 - Shadows in mountainous areas

I found a workaround:
my 'Shadow quality' slider was set to Ultra, which activated all shadow types. Setting it to Medium removed the 'terrain casts shadows' type.

P3D v6 - Shadows in mountainous areas

First of all, thank you, LM, for this beautiful version 6! I wanted to report a bug regarding the shadows: When flying between mountains during the early morning hours and adjusting the view (Shift+O), the shadows of the mountains seem to appear or disappear based on the direction you're looking. In...

Haha, well, P3D was still there, of course.
But it has been very quiet for more than a year.
So I'm happy that P3D is back with a new (and very good) update.

So, LM, once again: thank you!

Re: Why is the 'missing haze' bug in v5.3 still not fixed for non-EA?

Hello Sky King, I don't agree: Now, the P3D users need to modify a part of the ShadersHLSL\FuncLibrary.fxh file themselves to get P3D to work properly in non-EA mode. Such a small fix should be included in the 'final' version 5. One can't consider version 5 to be 'final' before including all the av...

Why is the 'missing haze' bug in v5.3 still not fixed for non-EA?

Hi, I have a question to LM: When the last version 5.3 was issued, there was a bad bug (missing haze in non-EA mode). Some fix was provided in https://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6312&t=143957&start=45 , but that requires editing code, which is not really suitable for all users. A...

Re: P3D V5.3 Missing Horizon/Atmo Haze

OK:

Now I completely removed P3D (also the folders in %appdata% and so on) and did a clean install of the Updated Hotfix.

The haze is back, so it works as expected now.

Re: P3D V5.3 Missing Horizon/Atmo Haze

Hi, I just installed the Hotfix Update 5.3.15.28131 (client + scenery) and ran 'Delete generated files'. But it looks like the haze problem isn't properly fixed yet: flying with clear sky, mountains at a distance keeps growing or shrinking like before... I tried to solve that by re-using the fix to ...

Re: P3D V5.3 Missing Horizon/Atmo Haze

These screenshots are made with EA turned ON. The bug doesn't occur in that case.
