For those who haven't noticed...

Hi Chris,

Not at all. The academic product purchase covers all releases with a major release. i.e. If you buy v2 you will get any point releases until they bring out v3, once v3 comes out, you pay again if you want that version.

Also, unlike v1.x, version 2.x does support patching, so you wont have to uninstall and reinstall when they bring out updates, (although they caveat that by saying the cannot guarantee 3 party products would not be affected by applying a patch, which is fair enough IMHO.)

Thanks for that Ben. So if something in an FSX add-on didn't work properly, there could well be a Patch made for it.

No mate, forget about FSX. P3D may have been based on FSX, but its not FSX. P3D v2 is a supported flight simulator that will be kept supported with patches until the next major release, probably a couple of years or more. They wont be patching FSX bugs, only P3D ones.

Silly me found out V1.4 is still available to purchase... Asked for refund and purchased V2 as well so just downloading

Has anyone had any problems with AFCADS?
I have an AFCAD for Queenstown NZ, which has taxiways missing in P3Dv2. The yellow taxi centre line is still there, but showing on grass.
I've looked at the AFCAD with ADE and all looks OK. The taxiways show correctly in P3Dv1.4 and FSX.
Could this be a DX11 issue?

Cheers

Kevin

This is a known problem. Something to do with the setting for the surfaces. If you use the very latest version of ADE it can be corrected.

Have a read here: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showth ... p?t=428216

Hi Kevin, have you looked to see if draw taxiways is checked, in earlier version of ADE the default option was not to draw the surface, but it would display the line. This was often used where people had drawn there own taxiway textures and didn't want ADE overwriting them with anything other than the yellow line.

[edit] crossed posts, what he said

Thanks Dave and Ben.

Downloaded ADE 1.6 and viewed the tutorial. Will have a play later.

There is still a problem with drawSurface and drawDetail for aprons. They need to be edited individually whereas the taxiways can be corrected en-masse.

We know P3D needs about 4GB of VRAM. But is that for the default scenery - if you use add-on scenery, does the amount of required VRAM reduce? Also, I'm planning to use three monitors. Would this 'up' the required VRAM?
