Re: High VRAM usage | P3D v5.3 HF2

Ditto Jorgen .... flying any PMDG aircraft with maximum display settings and ASP3D/ASCA I typically run 3-6 Gb on my 11 Gb 2080Ti. I've seen some scenery push it as high as 8 Gb. Something is definitely wrong with your system or configuration. You should never see an OOM due to VRAM when using P3D a...

Re: P3D V5.3 Missing Horizon/Atmo Haze

I tried the FuncLibrary.fxh fix in my P3D V5.3 HF2, and it didn't work, everything was black. I assume it was meant for HF1 and was rolled out in HF2, but I still have the issue of a slightly fixed haze. It's not as bad as the solid line, flickering terrain, but it still is relatively solid as othe...

Re: P3D 5.3 HF2 - Program hangs upon starting

When exactly is P3D becoming unresponsive and closing? If it is during the flash screen I'd recommend looking for an add-on that is not compatible with the latest version. A kernelbase error can be caused by just about anything but is usually not caused by managed code such as is the P3D environment...

Re: Wrong coast line in Texas

Being familiar with area I had to check it out. Slewed my Trike from Hobby to past Port Arthur and didn't see any abnormality either in the forward cockpit view or from a very high top down view. I am using Orbx openLC and Vector. Maybe it's something that Orbx "cleans-up?"

Re: Where are scenarios kept in P3D V5.3

Your <Documents>\Prepar3D v5 Files folder. Each scenario typically has an .fxml and .wx file with same file name where file name is the name of the scenario. These are the scenarios you save. The scenarios that are stock and provided with P3D are in several subfolders of your <p3d>\Scenarios folder.

Re: P3Dv5.3 & ActiveSky: Horizon always visible

The ASP3D visibility options for maximum upper visibility clearly identify that there is a significant difference between the default 199 and 200, where the 200 setting clears all but a single visibility layer for improved performance. I am very satisfied with the setting at 199. One has to assume y...

Re: Can't turn off EA, "Please correct errors or cancel"

I just ran into this as well. However, the change I wanted to make was to reduce HDR saturation from 1.00 to 0.50 and it wouldn't have any of that and started giving me the "Please correct errors or cancel" message any time any settings page was displayed, not touched, but still unable to ...

Two computers... is clearly not permitted by the EULA. Now I'm not a lawyer nor do I speak for LM but the EULA is pretty easy to read.

Re: Doubt with activation key

Your question requires another question, are the three of you going to use P3D on the same machine?

The EULA reads, to paraphrase, use is restricted to a single machine, by not more than one person at a time, in connection with academic education yada yada.

Re: P3Dv5HF2 impossible to change location of "my documents" folder

The My Documents folders are not normally relocatable. I'm not sure why you want to... I've found some developers like to put all of their files along side the add-on.xml in the documents folder and this works but it is not what the SDK instructions to developers provides. I always undo that kind of...

Re: Very low FPS - P3Dv5 unusable..

I assume you have not made any changes or 'tweaks' to the prepar3d.cfg.

Share you display settings. If you have FXAA enabled (it is by default) then turn it off and try that.

Re: P3D5 H2 terrain textures blurry in time

I haven't seen this problem in quite awhile Mike, but I know I've experienced on at least two different occasions. The terrain textures simply start loosing resolution and appear blurry. Doing a display refresh (I've assigned a key to this function) will clear it up but it comes back. I believe the ...

Re: White treelines

I neither use enhanced atmospherics nor have ever seen this effect. You didn't mention the use of addon shader modifications so I cannot assume you are or are not.... that's first to mind.
