Prepard3D V5 still offered as installation location

Despite uninstalling v5 shortly after purchase and receiving a refund when I install commercial scenery / aircraft it is still offered as a installation option on my system.

How can I fix this?

Re: P3D V5 - MANY Graphics errors and CTDs

I've just given up with trying to be part of the "beta test" team. I've uninstalled it and will come back in a few months when hopefully things are much more stable. Apologies this doesn't offer a positive contribution to the discussion but v5 just lacks the refinement that v4 had on launch.

Re: ATIS conflict between wind direction and assigned runway

I have come across this problem (wind direction / runway use) with UK2000's EGCC.

Has there been a "fix" for it published?

Texture Resolution [OPTIONS>WORLD]

Is there a relation between the Texture Resolution [OPTIONS>WORLD] and Texture Resolution [OPTIONS>DISPLAY] in terms of the visual represented in sim or do they influence separate elements of the virtual world?

Re: W10 Control Panel query?

I removed the v4.4 client prior to installing the v4.5 client.

W10 Control Panel query?

Good morning. I did a full installation of all components a few month ago followed by the 4.5 client update recently. Why will I see the "Prepar3D v4 Academic" 4.4.16.27077" entry in my programs list still? Image below; https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47786161661_723474d0de_b.jpg ...

Re: Black default buildings - missing textures?

Thank you for the help.

A refresh of the ORBX libraries seems to have solved the problem.

[RESOLVED] Black default buildings - missing textures?

At a small number of default airports (KSDF / KMIA) I have come across a few black default buildings that are missing their "textures". My suspicion is that a few default textures are missing. Is there a "quick fix" for this that does not require the re installation of the scener...

Re: ATC - not working

I found the problem only occurred if I prepared a flight in P3D with the flight plan loaded and then exited the sim.

When I returned to make the flight the problem occurred. If I didn't load the flight plan until I was ready to make the flight everything ran fine.

Regards

Re: Default Shaders

Ok...with the power of Google I understand this maybe a PTA problem which requires a update to support v4.1.

I will keep you advised.

Re: Default Shaders

This hasn't fixed the problem.

The same error occurs.

I understand I need a copy of the original shaders.

Is there another process I can follow to resolve this?

Default Shaders

Good evening. Prior to installing the recent updates I neglected to backup up the default shaders which was highlighted when I started PTA (v2.52). Error message shown below; ERROR: shader file D:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\ShadersHLSL\Cloud.fx is not original Prepar3D shader and can't be used ERRO...

Re: ATC - not working

Well I removed recently installed addons (mainly aircraft that are P3Dv4 compatible) and have now completed three flights in which ATC functioned correctly.

No idea why a compatible aircraft should cause this problem as to the best of my knowledge they wouldn't modify any ATC files?

ATC - not working

Within the last week or so the default ATC in v4 keeps "failing". I will load a flightplan via the flight planner with the aircraft positioned at the departure airport. At this stage ATC is available with ATIS and Ground. With departure clearance received the ATC menu ( displayed by pressi...
