Blackbird Sims / Milviz Forum Archive

Hello all,

This update seeks to address a few snags we've seen recently. As was the case before, the high resolution and low resolution options are now included in the installer. You can select "Custom Install" and unselect the "High Resolution" features to install only the low resolution options.

Note: If you have both V4 and V5 installed you must pick "Custom" install to select which simulators to install to ("Typical" is V5 High resolution )

Installer: https://milviz.com/Online_products/Prod ... 200724.zip

HOTFIX AVAILABLE 07/31/2020
A hotfix to correct overly dim displays and a missing instrument indirect lighting texture is available here: https://milviz.com/Online_products/Prod ... 1-2020.zip. Extract the contents of its P3Dv4\P3Dv5 directory to your P3Dv4\P3Dv5 directory, respectively.

Changes
-Fixed missing charts DLL in V5 installation
-Fixed hardcoded "FALA" airport on PL21
-Improved color of gauges in V5
-Improved color of night lighting in V5
-Improved color of TrueGlass in V5

Could you show a screenshot of the night lighting?
My MFD are blinking. What to do?

Uninstalled the old beta and went to reinstall this, now it's giving me an error saying I've hit my activation limit. Did I do this wrong? How can I reset the activation?

Installed in V5 the new setup. The colors haVE been improved but to my mind there are still too dark.
The thing which really worry me is the VAS usage. Cold and dark at one of the default airport the VAS of GPU is around 7.2.
I've never passed with other addons 6.2 (fslabs, pmdg and so on).
I've a GTX 1080TI.

Is there any chance to optimize the VAS?

Let me see if I can get that done for you.

Same as the other betas, copy and replace the files from legacy render folder to your main folder. If you don't want to do that some have reported that limiting your FPS below 90 and/or Vsync may also correct it.

But without LegacyRender, displays flicker. Or are you all right in P3Dv5?

Hello,

I've just uninstalled the previous beta (v1.1.33) and installed the new one (v1.1.34) with no problem at all.

• I got only "High Res"
• RealLight.dll 1.2.0.4 (24/07/2020 10:40) has been correctly installed in v5... with a new RealLight.hlsl

I made with success a short flight from PAEN to PAVD. The aircraft seems to me easier to taxi ( ?). I just noticed that Master Caution (when flashing) and Prop Sync are still a bit dark...

Wonder if you deleted your shader folder if that would help. Worked for me(at least I'm thinking that is what fixed my problem). Worth a try...
