very nice; though not always easy to achieve in the absent of stable imagery, now all you need is a good mesh for the area to make it all pop out

+1 with Nigel there you should try flushing your DX caches C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\FSX delete the two folders in there, restart FSX

the question remains, is he a good Seeker?

though i do appreciate the effort old school here; i prefer the index look (old habits die hard) i work on a normal computer, none of the iPad or tablets for me

for those who missed it Stargazing Live's Liz Bonnin watched the eclipse from a plane Solar eclipse Faroe Islands plunged into darkness https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1_RgLBH85E BBC's rooftop camera captured the moment darkness fell over Belfast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2LLU7b7Xaw

If you’re on the fence; my advice is to go the P3D route FSX SE is nice on paper but the folks at dovetail aren’t yet sure where they are driving this they don’t have to many addons supported or developer’s flocking to support their platform they offer a ridicules return for developer’s; although my personal development is fully compatible out the box (one of the few) i personally not willing to venture this route with their current DLC terms put this all together; and you have a very difficult growth pains expected for this platform

you don’t have to disagree Nigel; you elect to (I'm kidding of curse) for me it actually made things less happy in FSX, using stock counter and my normal settings i don’t see the point in messing the counters averages to see a finer fluxuation; which is measured by a different formula then I’m used to sample, if there are gains to made; it should reflect through the normal FSX counter formula as it does on P3D with this tweak

well...it doesnt!

sure mate when you first run P3D after a fresh new install a little wizard runs that attempts to give your PC optimal settings based on your existing hardware once this profile is set; some aspects of it remain constant; like the use of DX10 or 11 is set at this point i haven’t found out yet how to reverse this selection; as these aren’t clickable switches inside the config tool to have your machine profile reevaluated you will need to delete your current user profile and run P3D again; and hope you get DX11 compatible profile with your new hardware you can read about down-level hardware

chicken! read - http://www.prepar3d.com/forum-5/topic/optimize_parts-what-does-it-do/#post-102880 you may locked your profile on lower setting from your previous GPU if you delete your profile folder; it will be rebuild and DX11 option would be enabled for you

no words; just sadness

works for me, the tweak appears to be DX11 dependent, so it may not be compatible with all GPU's

I’ve followed your posts for some times now; with great joy i might add; you bring a very special aroma the our humbled community, it is sad to see you lose some of your favorite tools; i hope you will find the way to express yourself fully on FSX platform

Alan it sounds like you are missing the UIAutomationCore.dll fix it’s an FSX bug workaround for win7; i believe this could apply to your case as well personally i don’t like the conventional solution of replacing the current DLL with Vista's version what worked for me is simply to trick FSX to think it’s there; make an empty text file named UIAutomationCore.dll.txt then delete the .txt from the end; and accept windows prompt about changing extension bla bla... place that file in FSX/FS9 root directory

very sad news

very sad news indeed R.I.P

very cool Alan

if you can get us hooked up; im game

Thank you Geoff on my little Yoga13 i5 Ultrabook (my development station) i am getting well over 20FPS inflight with everything you see on there (lock is set to 30) performance is actually much better then with the default car library (which we replace with our new one), i am able to GAIN performance with 100% traffic + light beams; compared to 35% traffic density with the default cars lib; and spikes are a thing of the past with the new library!

here's a live shoot

Thank you Adrian although it is being considered as an additional NE enhancement; Technically you are looking at an external library i build; so yes this will work with earlier NE regions! The library is not tied specifically to NE; cars with light beams will show up on all roads; worldwide, over default texture or photoreal textures generally speaking all existing NE regions will get the v2 upgrade in time there's just so much wealth of features we are introducing; we want to make sure everything is stable; once everything is verified stable; we will begin updating existing regi

thank you guys i will try to get a short video of the scene so you get the "feel" for it here some shoots of a standalone vehicle the beam length, width, color, brightness and opacity are all configurable this is just the first library i made with 160 cars; i opted to keep the brightness at low level toward high altitude visibility even though i snapped my shoots from a low alt; it was mainly to show the beams up-close we don’t usually find ourselves at that level unless we approach landing; so our continues visuals are getting higher priority and yes there are allot of limitatio

the project has been completed and submitted to Aerosoft its very much out of my control from here on did you want to do a pre-release preview?

here are some shoots with our "Rustic” feature turned on rustic bring the more authentic night visuals where many highways don’t have lights installed here's an example of the same location when the rustic function is active
