Dear LM Found a new bug using a default static aircraft group object air_staticplanes01, air_staticplanes02, air_staticplanes03 and air_staticplanes04. They are no longer textured in 5.3HF2. They used to be textured before. I could fix it, removing the objects and adding the ones from P3D4.5HF3. The...

Hi Dan, It may be an issue of spreading your P3D components (for lack of a better word) over a couple of HDDs/SSDs. For instance, I also had long load times, but then I took my add-on AI aircraft and moved them to an otherwise empty SSD, which speeded things up, not only for loading P3D but also fo...

The prepar3d.exe process has an installer function. FSDT is using this for all sceneries. On my system, I have large AI packages, a lot of addon aircraft and addon sceneries. So my load time is about 30 minutes for the sim. The files for the scenery are unpacked withing seconds. After this about the...

Thanks for reporting this. I'll look for what happened in the conversion to PBR that missed that. Please report additional bridges here too! edit: I have identified bridges that don't have the 'masked' material setting and will fix them in a future update. Hi Max I just saw, all 4 bridges around th...

Glad to hear you solved it.

If you have zero payware addons, do you have freeware addons?

I'd try to delete generated files instead of uninstalling reinstalling v4.5 v5.3 etc. Goes quickly and solves 99% of the problems. You may have installed something not compatible.

Maybe your hardware. Do you meat the requirements?

Missing files is definitely a hot trace. I don't think it is permissions, but of course this could be a problem too, but this is not usual. I search missing textures and sounds with Process Explorer. It is possible to only show missing files of the Prepar3d.exe process and if you place these files o...

I found the answer, a setting which exists I think since 3.1 In the [contact_points] section you can add ignore_waves =1 or always_use_avg_surface=1 The latter seems to allow some ship movement but it doesn´t in my tests. It´s pretty much the same. I´d love to see here a more diffential variable, to...

Is there a way to make ships heavier in heavy seas? I already added a [WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE] max_gross_weight =29798000 empty_weight =29798000 empty_weight_roll_MOI = 13352310 empty_weight_pitch_MOI = 60000000 empty_weight_yaw_MOI = 39531785 empty_weight_coupled_MOI = 0 section. But the ship is still ...

Since some 5.3 HF I have these strange glare effects on some default boats and also road vehicles.



No other scenery is affected.

Any idea, what could be wrong? Envshade?
