Flying with AS Beta 3, no CTDs until now.

Still cannot get the PC Connecter to "connect" ... "transmission failed" keeps coming up in debug. I've totally uninstalled it, wiped out the Users/etc entries and re-installed fresh, same problem. Not usable for me.

Did you uninstall/install anything else? Is relevant software running with admin rights?

Hi Karl, thanks. Yes, I did the  Run as Admin on both the PC Connection installer and the exe for Active sky. Note also there are two PC connector, one for V4 and one for V5. I had uninstalled everything and made sure I manually put in the v5 PC connector.

For me it's just screwed up. I put a note up on their forum:

https://forums.hifisimtech.com/threads/asp3d-beta-3-install-over-beta-2-gets-stuck-in-connector-install-loop.12453/#post-55611

And there are a bunch of other people having the same problem. The thread is marked "resolved" (I let the admin know it IS NOT resolved) :-)

[Doug]

OK, got it working. Finally found a thread that "understood" the problem. I had to go to OPTIONS / ADDONS and check ACTIVE SKY Addon ... it was unchecked. Then restarted sim, and it worked. (That only took 2 weeks to find/fix).  So flying now with WEATHER, looks great, no issues so far.

That's great!

Very good. I also now fly with no issues on AS P3D Beta3.

These are good news, Doug!

AS P3D Beta4 is already in the works.

[kaha]

Beta4 is out.

4 went in easily and works fine.

Just wondering if anybody is using “ Enhanced Atmospherics “  along with ASP3D and what results are you getting concerning FPS and VRAM usage ?





 

[kaha]

I'm using it. I have a 2080TI, so VRAM is ok, also fps. Still, I cannot put all sliders to the right. Maybe next winter with Ampère.

I am still using the 1080 GTX and running 4K with pretty much everything set to ultra-which works well when NOT using  “ Enhanced Atmospherics “  once I turn on  “ EA “  FPS drops from 30+ to 14- and my VRAM gets eaten up within minutes. To bad as well I love the immersion  “ EA “ produces.
When not using ASP3D I can run “ EA “ with better results both with FPS and VRAM usage but only for 30 minutes or so but, my 1080 is feels pushed to it’s limits. Of course I can go back on the sliders but, I enjoy all the eye candy to much.

Once the GeForce 3080 line comes out  I will pick one up but, in the mean I can hope for another hotfix for V5 which hopefully will fix the VRAM issue and who knows maybe even some updates with “AE” after it still is Beta and of course ASP3D will keep improving.

Here is a video, you can see the VRAM and fps. Start in Bowerman with TE Washington.
