MX Radar update

Post by xxd09 » Sun May 05, 2019 4:39 pm

Just info
I was waiting till P3Dv4.5 Hotfix was available before going from P3Dv4.4 to P3D4.5
There seem to be some FPS issues with P3Dv4.5
Updated MX Radar with v1.190503.zip for P3D4.5
This crashes my Milviz planes with MX Radar installed!
Closed MX Radar on MVAMS and all OKbut no Radar!
Will have to update to P3Dv4.5!

Well...It isn't recommended to update to a new WX if you haven't updated to a new P3D....

Mea Culpa!
But Active Sky,Flight1GTN 750/650 and PTA shaders all updated to P3Dv4.5 version with no problems
That’s the way I usually do it
Addons first and when all in place do the major update ie P3D
Allows me to keep flying with everything working
Now I know better!

You have to be careful updating addons to ensure they're backward compatible. Especially with the major changes with 4.5, some things are "broken" between the two versions and so it's not a given that "updating" the addon is what you need to do, so you need to make sure to read the changelog and instructions for each addon to determine if they need to be or can be updated prior to updating the core program in case you need to roll-back. It's a tricky thing with computers unfortunately, and not immediately clear sometimes whether a patch is forward or backward compatible.

Thought I had a reasonably foolproof method !
Updated to 4.5 and all good
