Hello Stanislaw! Im new here but big fan and user of your products, currently on P3Dv3.

Im confused! This 2.25 version of NYCity is already on SimMarket? Because i went to my account and still it downloads the same 2016 version. Please answer, thanx!

What might be wrong?

Post by Saybía »

Hi there,

I bought NYX for P3D v4, but it seems, after I installed it, NY looks much worse than before. For comparison, I uploaded two screens.

With NYX (and I disabled all other addons!):

Without NYX (other Addons activated, same graphics/scenery settings):

Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea what might be wrong. Installed it twice successfully, it has highest priority in the scenery lib, no other addons activated...

Any hint what I can try to make the addon work?

Thanks alot!

Hi.
Scenery Complexity > Normal? Looks like no scenery objects are displayed or something removes them.

I tried several different setting combinations, including all maxed out. Also, I tried to remove the scenery from Documents/Prepar3D Add-Ons folder and add it manually again in game. Never are the scenery objects shown. What I have not tried yet is a complete fresh install of P3D...

Did you try to reinstall the product first? If BGL and textures are located at the right directory, there is no way for P3Dv4 not to load them if the scenery is active.
Additionally we can try solving the issue using https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/windows/ .

Thank you very much for the offer! I have no idea why, but after I deleted all contents in "P3D\Addon Scenery\New York City X" and re-installed, the objects are now visible. Strange, since I did not get any error during the first install and the files were definitely in the folder before... anyway, I am glad New York is beautiful now :-)

New York City X runs slow on P3D v4

Post by steveli »

I have installed New York City X on both P3D v3.4 and P3D v4. This scenery runs really slow (FPS <10) with frequent shutters. But this scenery runs pretty smooth on P3D v3.4, with FPS ~ 20 without any (or very little) shutter. It can easily tell the building textures loading speed is much faster on P3D v3 compared with v4. Is this scenery optimized on P3D v3 only? Is there any way I can fix the slow performance problem on P3D v4? Thanks!

Hi.
Yes - only by correct managing of the simulator settings. Try to use the same settings as you use in P3Dv3, the performance should be very similar.

I do use the same setting on P3D v4 as that of P3D v3.4, but the performance of V4 is still slower than v3.4. Please advise.

I am afraid I have no more ideas if the settings are just the same. Customers are usually reporting better performance of this product in P3Dv4.

There is always a chance of a faulty install of the product. I think you might try deactivating it in both P3Dv3 and P3Dv4, check the performance in both sims without the product and then activate it again. In P3Dv4 the most reliable method would be reinstall it completely (remove the current product folders in Addon Scenery, run the sim and acknowledge all warnings, then install the product again).

PS: Please note that in P3Dv4 autogen display distance and Level Of Detail distances are larger so even with the same settings your PC has more data to handle. This might be helpful: http://drzewiecki-design.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=337

Hi

I do have a lot of changing black textures with P3Dv4 HF1. Any hints to get rid of them?

Cheers
Greg
