KA350i Version 1.1.32 Beta (V4 + V5)

[SAS443]

New installer is useless for me (running V5 only)

XMLTools (pre-requisite) fails to install , installer is then stuck on "copying files"

Come on, Milviz, how did you manage to let this issue slip by QA?

This IS the QA version....You are just being allowed to test it before it goes out to the masses as a full update....thus the word "Beta"

This is the public QA, hopefully(!) they have internal builds...

No joy for me either. Stuck on copying new files.

Have v4 and v5 installed. XML Tools only installs to v4, then installer hangs on copying files.

Edit: If you let the installer continue for about 10 minutes (you read that right), It finishes! Will post my findings on the beta tonight.

Edit: Haven't done a full flight yet, but it hasn't crashed yet under any weather circumstance. VRAM usage on my 1070SC (8GB) pretty consistently at 5.7 at rural airports. The main issues seem to be the displays. I'm using ENVTEX and ENVSHADE (the latest versions), but otherwise a clean sim in regards to visuals.

Update: The latest ENVSHADE update has removed the strange reflection artifacts and window heat strip. Only issue now I've noticed visual-wise is the displays flash, and and spinner chrome is almost pure white.

Note the strange reflections on the displays and fuel gauges. Seems to get worse when you turn the lights up. Also note the strip on the left side of the windshield (window heat strip?). Some psychedelic things going on there. Outside looks great!2020-7-10_20-9-10-641.png2020-7-10_20-8-45-269.png2020-7-10_20-8-2-565.png2020-7-10_20-7-52-324.png2020-7-10_20-4-51-33.png2020-7-10_20-4-42-930.png

I find the same issues you did and also the chrome on the prop doesn't look right.

[pato_galex]

Running v5 latest HF, installed v5 comlete, I installed and let it set there about 10-15 minutes. Install completed. I only have v5 installed, no 4.5.

I don't use that beta enhanced atmosphere thing. I run without that render transparency thing . I have no graphic anomalies inside or outside of cockpit. I have no seat reflections in the MFD's and none of the other anomalies reported so far. - Install it, just make sure to let it finish, run it and go mow the yard, or pretend that you are. * I do have one problem, mfd's flash every once in a while.

No need for XMLTools in Ver 5 ?

[jonahdesrochers]

I also have the display flashing

I will correct it in the installer, but if you re-run the XMLToolsInstaller.exe with the /beta flag on the command line, it will support V5.

Have installed it from showed maps but still no instrument lights at all

Ok just to clarify again. If one has deleted the old beta completely including the xml tools, reallight and trueglass or coming in on a fresh build of p3d v5 you have to manually install all three subtools again in the folder "\Prepar3D v5\SimObjects\Airplanes\MV_King_Air_350i\Redistributables" via command line with /beta flag. Then it will load up correctly and working fine. Otherwise it won't. So the installer needs to get fixed on all subtools for v5.

The current build loads up cold and dark on a default airport in the nowhere with EA off and general texture size set to 1024 with a vram footprint of 5.3gb. Powering up avionics and turning on all lights for a quick check the footprint goes up to 6gb. That will crash for sure all 6gb cards out there and with an 8gb card like with me you won't be able to fly into any bigger payware field without peaking the vram over limits.

You can lower the footprint with editing truelight.xml but on the cost that the pixaleted view with lights on killing immersion. So hopefully the team gets the vram usage under control and a reduced texture set could help too. Lets keep the fingers crossed.

Cheers

We are waiting for the update. Screens in the cockpit do not work

HI
Just done a short flight Venezuala to Colombia (SVSO to SKBG in fact).

I think I'm one of the luckier ones in that I was able to complete the flight successfully.

Few observations if anyone interested;

I ran it with EA on ultra and high settings max autogen etc (yes I know I could reduce the settings) and it looked beautiful apart form the gauges

7.8Gb VRAM at SKBG (GTX1080 ti)
Gauges were light grey with odd images in the background - never saw this before in the KA. They still work OK but look strange especially when the no lighting on in the cockpit.
True Glass and real lights seem to be working OK and cockpit is plenty light enough
Frame rates v high
