After installation of PrecipitFX i lost whole Ai. P3D 3,2 / WOAI packages. Any clue ? BR/Artur

Hi, after the newest update yesterday 02/23/16, i get a message about FSUIPC4 not installed that some products may or may not work but i have FSUIPC4 installed and it says its working properly so i don't know what is happening. This happened with all previous FSFX every time there is a new update. Thanks.

i just got the new VFX Central update, i have set it up with my PrecipitFX package, so can i now uninstall the old installer that comes up listed in the W7 start menu under OldProp Solutions?

I just installed FSFX and ticked all boxes in the installer. But i'm seeing no vortices when pulling hard and having high AOA. I'm running ASN and the rain is set to heavy and i see faint little rain drops. its not good enough P3D V3.

Hi All After having PrecipitFx installed in p3d v2 and uninstalling and trying to install it in p3d v3, i keep getting and installation error. michael from oldprop is trying to help, but im just wondering if anyone had a similar problem. it seems like the problem is dot net framework and internet explorer. i have installed the latest version of dot net framework. the error report says ;- PLATFORM VERSION INFO Windows : 6.1.7601.65536 (Win32NT) Common Language Runtime : 4.0.30319.17929 System.Deployment.dll : 4.0.30319.17929 built by: FX45RTMREL clr.dll : 4.0.30319.17929 built by: FX45RTMREL dfdll.dll : 4.0.30319.17929 built by: FX4…

There seems to be an issue with PrecipitFX 1.5.0.4 and Active Sky Next (Build 5848) under P3D v3.1. Following Image shows the correct precipitation of +SN (Heavy Snow). This is generated from the built-in Weather Theme "Heavy Snow" of Prepar3D: This image shows the same scene with ASN connected: As you can see, the snow flakes are too small and too barely! The Slider "Special effects detail" is set to "High" and I did reinstall PrecipitFX more then one times. What is going wrong? I like the Textures of PrecipitFX and want to yuse it together with ASN like sure many others of you ...

Whenever the weather says 'heavy snow' the snow effect looks good but constantly flicks between heavy and light snow every 2-3 seconds.Is this normal? Also does the Steve DX10 Fixer's "Slow Snow" check box make a difference with Precipitfx? I don't see any. Stuart

I have the Immersion package for 737 ngx and Airbus. Does this package duplicate what I already am seeing with these immersion packages, or is it different?

Are there any plans for a Q400 Immersion package?

It is not long enough. And, it's at the wrong position; too far from wingtip. How do I fix these issues, please? Give me a breakdown of steps I should follow in order to correct these imperfections. I'd truly appreciate it. Thank you! <3

Will there be a version of Precipitfx that will scan aircraft folders OUTSIDE of the standard SimObjects folder? I'm thinking that anyone who follows their guidelines and installs aircraft outside the root will not be scanned by PrecipitFx. Thanx, Vic

Hi! I've just noticed that the rain (wheel and engine spray) effects for my level-d 767 don't appear in FSDreamteam's Dallas Fort-Worth scenery. If I move the aircraft to Miami (default scenery) or Montevideo (LatinVFR) the effects show. Is this expected? This scenery has taxi bridges. Perhaps somehow the airport is elevated and effects are showing but hidden from view bellow ground? This is not a big issue but I am curious none the less. Thanks! BTW, after reinstalling my Level-D, the only way I could make PrecipitFX reinstall into the aircraft.cfg was by adding not only [EFFECTS] to it (the file doesn't have this entry by default) but also what comes nex…

Ever since I installed PrecipitFX, I am noticing that AI aircrafts are producing a ton of smoke at the airport, this looks unrealistic. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi Kevin and the rest of OldProp! :-) First off a huge thanks for those wonderful add'ons you guys have made! :-) I have found a bug, or at least on my computer it is. After an extended trial-run I discovered that having, in PreciptFX, turned Contrails, Vortices, Precipitation Effect on. It would overrule the immersions on both aircrafts. Well now it kind of makes sense since its applied to all of the aircrafts. But I was still wondering, if it should be possible to have all of the settings activated without them obscuring from each other? A huge thanks in advance Jakob

Hello, For P3Dv3 aircraft should / can be installed outside the P3Dv3 main folder (same for scenery). For example I have Real Air Duke here: F:\RealAir\Turbine Duke V2 P3D3\SimObjects\Airplanes\RealAir Duke Turbine V2 I ran Precip but I think it did not add effects to Real Air Duke?

Hey guys, thank you so much for the latest update, 1.3.0 ! The effects are really awesome. As some may have noticed, i am using FSX in DX10 mode with Steve's DX10 Scenery fixer. As it is written on the PrecipitFX homepage, all effects need conversion with the fixer software to show up properly in DX10. In the past, the contrails then had a very huge impact on performance on some systems. The new contrails are longer and do not decrease performance as much as the version before, but only if you leave it UNconverted. So as a result, there is some flickering and under certain viewing angles, the contrails of the right or left side are not visible. If you choose t…

In wet weather and after take off a horizontal single contrail and a downward one appear below my aircraft. This used to be caused by the Snow Engine Wash or Wet Engine wash effect, but didn't expect it to occur in PrecipitFX in P3Dv3. Any way to stop this from happening?? Regards

Hello.I'm new user of FSFX products.I have a question.I tested it on default A321.Vortices work fine but I notices when I land little roughly there are default flat vortices and why?

Hi, is the current build of precipitfx officially compatible with P3D V3? Not does it work without support, but officially supported and compatible. Thanks

In the virtual cockpit, dx9, fsx acceleration, I cannot see rain effects (have no tried snow yet) very well, only looking to the side. Is it possible to change the texture to be more visible looking forward?

Hi, i´d like to know if there is somebody else having issues after version 1.5.0.2 of PrecipitFX (Support for p3d v3). After the automatic update today, the button for "Rescan aircraft.cfg" is changed to "Update to 1.5". But the program fail to see that i have already upgraded to that version. And, if i click in the button, Precipitfx automatic closes and the process starts again over and over. I alreadyt tried a full uninstall/clear registry/resinstall without sucess. Always the anoying message "Update to 1.5". I already have it installed! Version 1.5.0.2!!! So, any other soul with this thing? Thanks.

I just uninstalled-reinstalled. Still not working with the latest version. I have FSX Acceleration. I upgraded to the new version when it prompted me. I then checked all the boxes under FSX and clicked install. it said "successful" but nothing was installed. I then uninstalled and downloaded the installer and reinstalled. Still nothing gets installed with this new version.

hello! I've just bought PrecipitFX for my Level-D 767 and managed to try it. I could see wheel effects in rain and wingtip vortices but no engine jet wash. I peeked in the aircraft.cfg and noticed it doesn't even have an effects entry (but perhaps it's not required). Is there something obvious that I am missing? I haven't yet tried it with a default aircraft. I am running FSX in DX10, I converted all effects after PrecipitFX installation in DX10fixer. Also, what new effects should I expect to see in AI? Wheel effects, jetwash as well or only contrails? Thank you very much for any help. Alex

Hello, I am using the software. As i installed the the first time it was working. Now it doesn't work in FSX. i deleted the shadow folder in the Appdata and uninstalled and reinstalled the software. Please adivse Marek LOWW
