I am using the sharklets model and I want the vortices to appear in the tip of the sharklets, because in default, the vortices appear in the area where the wingtip would supposed to be. In the aircraft.cfg file, in the effects section, the only thing that is there is the name of the effect and also the name of the effects files (example: "vaportrail_l = fsfx_PFX_34674C5337767A6562726E38486D6958794975646E594E357576646268717151  //42 - Enabled by PFX")
I would be appreciated if someone would help me here! Thanks!

I have P3D 4.5 and it's not working, I installed everything ok, but I open the simulator and it's already stressing me out. I didn't receive any activation, I just opened Orbx Central and installed it in the folder where it asks to install (C:\Users\johnn\AppData\Roaming\Orbx\Central\Integrations\Parallel 42), but I can't get anything. I know I have to disable "Detailed precipitation" (it's off) and "effects" are in medium...
I'm already getting VERY stressed... 9 dollars wasted?? I knew I shouldn't buy this, because I never saw anyone recommending it. I was thinking about buying the 747, but I'm not buying it anymore... to have to humiliate myself for an effect, something simple? my God...

I have P3Dv4.5 and downloaded this program from //42 via ORBX but I can’t seem to get it to work with AIG. I had it working beautifully with UTL but ever since I made the switch I don’t have the updated contrails. Any help would be appreciated

It works fine but I cannot see any wheels smoke during hard braking (wheels stop running so antiskid is disabled) in any aircraft.  I use Steve's DX10 Fixer.

 

Thanks for help!

Im struggling to determine what constitutes a valid addon to be able to recieve this software treatment.

Prepar3d V4 is installed in "D:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4" (Location A) and my external Add-ons are installed in "D:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons" (Location B).

Now for the tricky part-

  • Add-ons installed to "A" are treated as expected (no issue)
  • Add-ons installed to "B" are selectively treated (issue)
    • Add-ons that are treated, A2A P-40, Aerosoft F-14, SWS F-4B
    • Add-ons that are not treated vary from auto installed to manual installed add-ons
  • Add-ons installed to "B" that are treated dont have a consistency to how they are stuctured, IE SimObjects is in a subfolder (add-ons\folder\subfolder\simobjects) or not (add-ons\folder\simobjects).
  • Add-ons installed to "B" that are not treated also have various structures.

It automatically amends (disables) some FSLabs effects files that are vital for the specific model.

I have "Override existing settings" disabled but this does not affect it and it changes Concorde's effects.

I even occasionally get stuttering and freezing which sometimes can cause the plane to malfunction and crash. The issue only occurs with PrecipitFX installed but I don't see anybody else with similar issues.

I have an i7-8700k, 2080ti, 16GB DDR4 3000mhz RAM, 1TB SSD (P3d v4.4 is installed on that) and a 2TB HDD.

the topic says it: My Contrails are always white.
they did not change the colour at morning, sunset or night like the clouds do this.
i use the contrails from PreciptFX and the same whith PMDG ones, and Dash 8 also from OldProp.

is there any solution for that issue?
