Yakpilot56 3 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Lockheed Martin have released another hotfix for Prepar3d It is primarily aimed at those using Sim director but there is also a fix for wake issues with aircraft carriers within the sim details of the content SimDirector – numerous fixes made to correct crashes and loading visualizations SimConnect_WeatherRequestCloudState – now correctly returns the proper values in a SIMCONNECT_RECV_CLOUD_STATE structure Attached floating objects – corrected rendering library objects in a wrong location in relation to the boat veh_carrier01_high_detail_sm SimObjectr Caveat from LM Please be aware, if any third party software modified any of the dlls included in the hotfix, you will need to reinstall their content/add-on. Those developers might need to release an update for their products to be compatible with this hotfix. Please contact them directly for any compatibility questions. Additionally, when using this hotfix, any Prepar3D repair or reinstallation will need the hotfix reapplied. software publishers should sort these out relatively quickly (some already have) My personal experience with hotfixes is not good, it often results in a broken sim. I prefer to download the updated full installer but of course this then requires re-installing of all software add-ons as well I will not be installing this hotfix as I am not concerned by the issues it fixes Pete Link to post Share on other sites
Christopher Low 63 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 All of these hotfix releases make me suspect that there will be no further 2.x version releases of P3D. I reckon that the next release will be version 3.0, which I assume will be a significant upgrade. However, I am not convinced that it will be 64bit. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Thanks for the heads up Pete. I am quite happy with the way P3D is running at the moment so like you I don't see a need to update yet. Link to post Share on other sites
