PrecipitFX Support

Hi I do not remember exactly, when i was gone all contrails effect (which was associated with this disappearance) but for two months they will definitely disappear (FL 300-Fl400 and dfferents weather and seasons settings). Contrails are gone on the user's plane as well as Ai traffic planes. I have several times with FSXCentral installed/reinstalled PrecipitFX and of course in options contrails is marked, also I have tried different settings (for example shorter contrails and then again normal contrails) but I never see again contrails - they are completely lost. P3D4 special effects detail and distance is set to High (maximum). I also use PTA 2.61 and Active Sk…

I just bought a new plane for P3D, and with that being said. Do I need to reinstall precipitfx everytime I install a new aircraft into the sim?

Hi folks, Hoping someone can help. I'm really trying to get rid of the awful default touchdown 'clouds' that appear in P3D v4. I had PrecipitFX for FSX and was very pleased with how it looked, but having installed it for P3D, it doesn't seem to have any effect on the touchdown smoke. I'm wondering if I've done something wrong somewhere - I can see the effects in the relevant folder in P3D, but they just don't seem to be appearing. If someone could offer some advice I'd be grateful, Kind regards, mfy1989

Can I use PreciptFX and 737 Immersion with the new TOGA ENVTEX texture software?

Hello FSFX Will you guys be adding this feature to PrecipitFX P3D 64 Bit,Like xp11 has? Thanks in advance for reply.....

Before updating my P3D to 4.3, is there any problem with the current Precipfx? Thx, P.

Hello friends, I just bought precipitFX And I see that WHEELS SPRAY is also in 737 IMMERSION this option it is possible star in the two programs ?

Installing I am getting the following error: Installation Error: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'F:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG 737-900NGX\aircraft.cfg' is denied. at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, Int32 rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy, Boolean useLongPath, Boolean checkHost) at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, F…

For the past few days I get this message popping up when closing P3D after a flight. VFXCentral prompts me with that message. What is wrong? Thanks.

Hello guys, short Q regarding effects for UTL ACFT's... I just started a flight from EGKK (raining) and observed that some of the effects don't show on UTL models (yes I have checked the "override existing effects" option). Missing effects are the jet blasts, wheel spray and wingtip vortices. The first two effects could not be seen on ACFT that TO infront of me, the vortices (well, these are harder to spot I think) did not show on any landing ACFT. Other effects like the contrails (puffs) and the touchdown effect do show correctly. I have special effects detail and distance set to maximum in P3D. Any clues??

Hi, Maybe the question is already answered earlier. But, are there ideas to introduce heat effects from engines and APU's. Not smoke effects, but the heat blur when engines and APU's are running. Would be nice and a good addition.

Love the contrails on MOST AI planes in Ultimate Traffic Live however I've noticed that some planes (A388 and B772/3) have very weak contrails. They are there but very dim. I looked at the config files for these and everything looks normal. The weak contrail of 773 http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/image/Gb1z Very nice contrail of a320 http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/image/Gb1j

Hello, I am just wondering what you recommend. Should I buy Precipit FX (9$) or ENVTEX (21€)? Simulator: P3Dv4 Other addons: ORBX FTX Global GSX ASPD/AS16

Hi! is anybody able to tell me which texture (from which product) is being used in the PRecipitFX video at around 0.13-0.15 seconds. Their product is compatible with P3D, however it makes no mention of replacement Runway Textures. thank you

Hi I have discovered that there is a texture file missing in my installation of PrecipitFX. I have uninstalled everything relating to VFXCentral and reinstalled VFXCentral using the newest installer. But there is stil no fsfx_PFX_lights_hallo.bmp texture in my Effects/texture folder in FSX or P3D v3.4. The installation has only added fsfx_PFX_contrail.bmp and fsfx_PFX_vaportrail.bmp to the texture folders. But as you can see, many effects like e.g. fsfx_PFX_77755038474E6775336E5A6C3231714C4F656D4E4E467A496B396568304E694C.fx are calling for the missing texture: [ParticleAttributes.2] Blend Mode=1 Bounce=1 Color End=00, 00, 00, 0 Color Start=00, 00, 00, 0 …

Hey Keven The wheel spray on wet runway is not showing or only a little. Everything is ok in the aircraft.cfg! Max

Hi, i installed the package, all effects applied but the snow falls with default speed, i.e. very fast. i am running P3D v3.4. Please advise how to solve the problem. Kind regards, Kris

Hi, I have an old version of PrecipitFX by "Oldprop Solutions" that I purchased in 2014. Did FSFX take it over and is there is a version of PrecipitFX for Prepar3D v4.1 available? Is there an upgrade path available to bring my version up to date. The installer version I have is 1.0 dated 9/4/2014 and only installs into FSX.

I apologize if this has already been addressed- when viewing an instant replay with prepar3d v4's native replay feature, the precipitfx effects do not show up on the replay. I've read that this is a limitation of prepar3d. That being said, does the new replay feature with chaseplane beta accurately capture and display those effects while watching the replay? I hope the question makes sense. If chaseplane's replay feature does not show this, are there any programs for p3d v4 that do? Thanks! Chris

Hello, I have noticed very short contrails from my aircraft, and I have a few screenshots: And my special effects distance is on High for those screenshots.

Hello, as win764 won't allow me to setup Oculus Rift software, I've setup another OS (win10), on the same system (dual boot), and then I've installed there a second copy of p3dv4, without any problem with any addon yesterday I set up precipitFX on win10 too (again, same system) today VFX central on win7 is telling me that I have exceeded the limit of activations, specifying that the software may be used on one PC only, yet that's my case I have requested an activation reset, in the meantime I am asking, please, some clarification about this software behavior, thanks

Noticed that after updating Windows 10 Pro 64bit 15053.608 to 1709 OS build 16299.64 I started to experience flickering of the screen when moving the mouse over switches, buttons, knobs within the cockpit. This was happening in both 2D & 3D VC cockpits. If I switched to windowed mode the flickering would stop. What would not be corrected via the switch to windowed mode was now small white flashing squares in jet contrails & wing tip vapor effects. The only fix was to roll Windows 10 Pro back to 1703 OS build 15063.726 Microsoft has certainly rained chaos with it's recent updates to the OS starting about 2 months ago. IMO....they need to stay on the …

Is there a setting whereby I can set PrecipitFX to ignore a specific aircraft and not add effects to it ?

I am curious to know if Precipitfx effects will show up on AI planes from add-ons such as MyTraffic 6 and 3rd party aircrafts such as Carenado, A2A, and Realair, etc? I never enabled the override option as I didn't want it to mess anything up with my 3rd party aircrafts. I've read the other thread where people are getting contrail affects with MyTraffic 6 AI planes, does this mean those planes will get the entire range of effects from PrecipitFX as well?
