Re: P3Dv5 and beach waves

What I am seeing is that if I start (scenario loads) with the wave boundary nearby, the waves never start for that location (they do for others). If I start further away the wave effect works. I will figure this is a minor bug and live with it. If I want to see waves while flying over a coastline wi...

Re: P3Dv5 and beach waves

I am pretty much defaults since this is a recent install of P3Dv5. I have been playing around and it seems to be based on what situation the aircraft is in when the scenario is loaded (either at the start of the sim or via a load scenario). If I am on the ground at an airport when the scenario loads...

Re: P3Dv5 and beach waves

I have tried backing out add-ons as much as I can and the problem persists. If this is a problem with my configuration I would next need to do a full uninstall and clean install.

Re: P3Dv5 and beach waves

My version is 5.0.31.35253. It is the same as what is in the thread mentiond plus most of the time the wave effect does not start at all.

P3Dv5 and beach waves

V5 just like V4 has some time between when started and the beach waves start (wavecontroller effect). I am finding that a good percentage of the time they never start. I can have a scene with beach waves, save it, get out and back in and wait 10 minutes or more and no waves. Sometimes I can start fr...

P3Dv5 and VR and Avatar

I am running P3Dv5 using an Oculus Rift. When I am in avatar mode in VR mode the top 1/2 of my body is missing. Is there some setting I can change to get it back?

Re: Hotfix and Avatar mode

I was able to isolate the code change to VirtualReality.dll. If I run with the previous version of it with everything else using the new code the problem does not occur. Unless the intent is for this to happen this sounds like a bug in that DLL.

Hotfix and Avatar mode

I have just installed 4.5.14.34698. When in Avatar mode and VR mode with an Oculus I cannot see the torso or arms of the avatar. There seems to be a bubble around the view location in which everything is transparent. I can see the legs of the avatar but not the arms and torso. If I move the viewpoin...

Beach wave effect in 4.5

I have P3d 4.5.12.30293. It appears that beach wave effects are disabled. Is that true in general or do I have a settings problem?

Re: Water flattens islands

I am using SBuilderX 3.15 which as far as I can tell is the latest version. I do not see a QMID option for vector polygons either on the menu when I right click the polygon or when I select properties from that menu. Any suggestions?

Water flattens islands

I am on P3D4.5 although this problem is in previous versions as well. It appears that a flatten flattens the area around it, not just the area in the polygon. This makes it difficult to do islands with steep sides. The flatten in the water polygon flattens the island. Has anyone come up with a way o...

Water vs land elevation

Since bathymetry is now supported how does one independently define water elevation and land elevation? Obviously a lake can have an elevation different from sea level and different depths. Also is there some way of displaying the current land type for all land elevations greater than the water leve...

RequestDataOnSimObject and ground elevation

It appears a SimConnect_RequestDataOnSimObject on an AI aircraft in landing mode uses the destination field elevation for ground elevation and in use in calculating AGL, not the elevation immediately beneath the aircraft. I am not sure if this is by intent or a bug. It appears this will force me to ...

Re: VOR Rename

Does EZNavs edit the LM NVXxxx file containing it? I can easily create a VOR at the same location with the new ID using BGLCOMP but it gets ignored and I still get the old Morse code ID. Was looking for a way of not correcting the LM supplied NVXxxx.bgl file.
