Re: P3D 5.2 with Windows 11

As for W11, I think it needs an update because some "stability" problems exist since, not in any flight made, but surfing the internet I found some browser crashes and a W11 reload after a black screen, with an error warning not specified. I'm not rushing to update to W11. I'll give it ti...

So about 18% improvement. That's well worthwhile -- providing W11 doesn't introduce any new problems.

Thanks,

Re: P3D 5.2 with Windows 11

5/10 fps improvement relative to what? 20, 30, 40? Can you give it as a percentage of what you normally see?

Thanks,
Pete

Re: ViewGroup - very strange issue, LM please help !

Hi Beau, I can confirm exactly the same odd visual displacement whilst moving (especially in turns). It's really annoying when trying to stay of the centreline when taking off or landing. In my case I've only really noticed it since 5.2. I didn't know about the "correctio" by ESCaping and ...

Re: ViewGroup - very strange issue, LM please help !

I am also seeing this exact same problem, using NatVis's "TruView" version of the Fly Elise product. In my case this is with a viewgroup of two windows projected onto a 210 degree curved screen. The synchronization between the two was perfect until the latest 5.2 user release, and as in th...

Re: Getting nose wheel position from P3D

Wouldn't the SimConnect variable GEAR CENTER STEER ANGLE be exactly what you need? That value is available in an FSUIPC6 offset: 0C10 4 (a 32 bit float I think, FLT32) Gear Center Steer Angle, as percent over 100. Values should be in the -1 to +1 range, but I have noticed values outside this range ...

Re: "SinglePass" causes lockups and black screen in 5.1

Updated to 5.1hf1 and sadly SinglePass still locks up P3D. It must be something odd in my setup Similar here James. Before this HF1 release it didn't lock up, but came up with black screens. With HF1 it was encouraging in that, having set SinglePass 'true' in the XML before starting P3D, it did boo...

Re: Need More Simconnect Message Windows

There is frequently a need for more than one simconnect message display window. For example, I run Lua scripts via FSUIPC that display flight parameters (a type of HUD), that compute navigation information, display aircraft checklists, etc. In the past it was possible to simultaneously display info...

Re: Prepar3d V5 and addon scenery

So it would appear that V5 is not prioritizing and turning off the lower versions of the same airport. Don't add-on airports include "Deletion" codes to remove lower layer items which they will be replacing? That's how folks make airport parts adding to and not always replacing the lower ...

Re: Can't Get Out Of "Fullscreen" View - v5

I have found it to be an enhancement. It only occurs with maximised windowed mode, and for me it allows ViewGroups to operate better, especially in retaining precise alignment, compared to "full screen" mode. I would guess you might be able get out of Maximised mode by right clicking on th...

Re: v5 SDK TextMenu events not working

Okay. We've located the problem in FSUIPC. It's our code, not P3Dv5. It was all to do with Version Checking. The Text events weren't supported till P3Dv4.2 (for creation) and 4.3 (for destruction), and we had one tiny snippet of code using just the subversion, so P3Dv5 looked like 4.0!! Duh! This is...

Re: P3Dv5 Scenery Layer problem

I had a bad install with FSUIPC6 into P3Dv5 that caused several problems with my install of my ORBX addons There's no way at all that installing or attempting to install one addon using the Add-On XML method as L-M intended will adversely affect another using the same or similar method. Unless you ...

NO, Pete, it IS NOT a pan reset! Well, it is not what you are stating either, here: Go to the controls dialogue in P3D. In the Search field on the upper right, type in 'mouse' sans quotes.

Re: V4.x won't let me use app-specific changes to default mouse button actions. Help Please ;o)

What 'this' does is simply allow you to press the middle mouse button and look and zoom, but retain the self-centering attribute, which is so much better than what I get when enabling Mouse Look via FSUIPC. But I assume that is done by sending a Pan Reset, right? I don't understand the wording you ...
