Re: P3D v6 Questions, Requests, Features

I'd like to add to this, Since "the oxygen has been sucked out of the room wrt to developers for P3D", Will there ever be an entry level way in to P3D development? I specifically ask that the SDK include a Blender exporter and information/tutorials to help with creating simobjects etc. Ble...

Re: Prepar3D V1.4 SDK 'Missing DLL's' error

Bill, I know nothing about 3DS MAx but, All recent versions of 3ds Max (2016/2015/2014) require 64 bit. The latest version for 32 bit is 3ds Max 2013. So if you download ver 3.x of the SDK will that give you a version of the MAX files you need to run the 64-bit MAX? Sine ver 3.x SDK is still 32 bit,...

Re: Visual Studio Required Version

Probably depends on what you require from VS not what simconnect or P3D API needs.

Start with community and see if it supports your needs.

Re: HLSL gone

Does anyone have immersion manager. They say that they delete their own shaders.

Re: Uninstall Hotfix 3

If you uninstall it, it is gone. There is no roll back to hf 2 or what ever, unless you kept a copy of the entire previous versions

Re: P3DV4.5 HOTFIX 3 UPDATE

I had the same problem. I ended up deleting everything and reinstalling. Have you tried the suggestions in the FAQ? https://www.prepar3d.com/frequently-asked-questions/ Open the technical section and read that. Maybe do the Delete Generated Files shortcut as suggested in the FAQ. Otherwise good luck.

Re: P3Dv4.5 HF3 - Massive Frame Rate drop when switching view to outside

Interesting - I have a similar issue, If I enter the flight I using the F22 or F-35 I sometimes get 5-6 FPS, If I pause the flight the FPS goes to 70-80 FPS. Only if I restart the session do I get back to high FPS but Only in the F35 and F22, Any other aircraft - including LM basic aircraft I get 5-...

Re: Oculus Rift s VR and P3DV4.5

Unfortunately P3D v4.5 does not have a very intuitive application of VR. Using gaze and setting a joystick button allows me to turn lights on an off, but that's about it. I tried to raise lower flaps but only got them to go down. Not up. This is with my favourite third party aircraft. Can't even use...

Re: Can PDK services be accessed from an outside application?

If you are use c# as a dll. Do you understand managed and non managed code? You will have to do a lot of marshalling to get things to work. So not only COM, but c and c++ type of programming may be required. Have not tried this myself, PDK is really low level access to P3D. I think you have the conc...
