I have a MV_WXM.dll crash running P3D V4.5 HF3 with an error message telling that MV_WXM.dll isn´t compatible with my Flightsim version.

Has 1.1.6 not been tested with HF3 ?

MV_WXM.dll is version 1.44.0.1

Delete or rename MV_WXM.dll

Just installed 1.1.6 version, and i had a CTD when i clicked EXEC button trying to insert a route.

URCTBASE.DLL fault error.

i tryied to insert this plan:

Departure: SBCF
Destination: SBRP

MUGR1B MOTMA Z73 RPR

when i inserted the fix RPR in FMS and clicked the EXEC, the sim chrashed.

Does that not leave the KA350i without WX radar ?

[bmw969]

Same mistake


But I did not find this file

Just installed and I'm seeing faded/dark annunciators on the lower panel:


They're set to bright (pushed in), here's the overhead:

Previous version fully uninstalled before installing the new version.

Edit: Some of the text didn't paste into the post..

I'm running P3D v4.5 HF2 (haven't installed HF3 yet), with modified shaders via TomatoShade (no change in those between KA350i 1.06 and SP1). I'm also running REX SkyForce, but I do not believe these are the cause. The upper annunciators are bright and shiny, but the lower are incredibly dim. Other panel lights such as gear lights and Prop Sync are looking good.

Between version 1.1.3 and 1.1.6, I've lost a good 20 fps. Had 33-35 fps average in previous versions, in 1.1.6 it's a slideshow at 10-15 fps while airborne.

Gotta say I’m a bit disappointed by this one. 1.3 seems to work much better despite a few bugs on my system. Will test further and report back over the next few days.

[FinnJacobsen]

Where are the dev's and moderators ?

[Raptor]

Delete or rename MV_WXM.dll

Yes, The fix for the wx radar will be released in a couple days. You will be able to fly the 350 in HF3 until then

Hi Guys,

I'm fortunate that I am not having the performance drop as others have noticed, however a couple of points if thats ok.

I have a stutter that lasts a couple seconds every time I trigger the engine start on either side - been around since day 1 - I wonder could it be the introduction of the second texture for blurred props, but it is quite noticable and occurs the moment you flick the switch.

I also find that when entering airways into the FMS, entering the close out point for the airway 'to' fix also triggers a stutter. (Loading FP in TFDI format only ever gives me the DIRECT fixes until first airway, rest of plan goes AWOL)

I also noticed the VNAV speed in the FMS perf page shows 'Resume VNAV speed 320Kt', not entirely sure how that could be, however, it might be a coincidence that the mach number on conversion in the climb is .32?

I had a CTD about 10 mins into flight, but nothing in event viewer so will just have to try again to find the cause!

Thanks for the build!

[Raptor]

For the people with performance issues, Could I recommend you clear your shaders folder? I see a noticeable improvement when I do. Specially after a hotfix

Does this mean using the same method the KA might run in V5? I have not risked it yet but would be great if it were possible

Hi,

How did you load that FP? Entering all data from FPLN page? Entering departure from DEP/ARR pages? Entering some info in LEGS page?

Thanks.
