Prepar3DV5 Compatibility

[martin[flytampa]]

When installing v2.1 of Copenhagen, I keep getting this error.

"Installer Integrity Check Has Failed"

There is a temporary issue with the file, I'm re-uploading it now and will post an note when its safe to install.

Update: Fixed, EKCH v2.1 is OK to install again.

Hi Martin
I believe there may be an error in the Add-on.xml file included in the libraries update for P3Dv5. The path for the libraries scenery (I think!) should point to the directory containing the Scenery folder (e.g. "Fly Tampa\Libraries"), not to the scenery folder itself. I modified it on my system as I have my Fly Tampa airports on a separate drive, and it works OK.

I have the same problem !

Hi everyone

"I came across another compatibility problem in the migration to P3Dv5. When trying to take off or land or doing a low pass over SABA (TNCS) my frame rate drops to 8 or 9 FPS. I did not have this problem in v4. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the scenery, lower my graphics settings but nothing seems to solve the problem.
The other sceneries (Sint-Maarten and St.-Barths) don't seem to be affected by this problem"

thank you

I am having trouble installing Midway. Where di I find this file:

FlyTampa_Midway_FSX_P3D_23.exe

I downloaded the installer and ran it, but I don't see this file name.

I am doing something wrong.

Hello FlyTampa team. I am finally getting around to beginning my FlyTampa installs. Of course I started with my most recent airport which was EKCH.

After completion of install for 2.1 this is what the FT Configurator looks like.

Every time I try to untick one of the boxes it gives me an "unhandled exception" error.

There is also a double tick in the Windsock option although not in the picture.

Any suggestions?

Go to viewtopic.php?f=28&t=13846 and follow Emilios manual steps. Did the trick for me. Re-installing the scenery after wiping out all the folders did not work but adjusting them manually works.

Thank you for the reply. I renamed the files which was actually pretty simple by looking at the naming conventions in my v4 setup and all is working now.

Thats the original Installer, when you ordered Midway. It should be linked in your order email or if you no longer have that email us requesting a new download.

Hi there, have a quick question - are these steps correct for installing EHAM for P3Dv5?

1) FlyTampa_Amsterdam_FSX_P3D_10.exe (+FlyTampa_Amsterdam_FSX_P3D.dat)
2) FlyTampa_Amsterdam_FSX_P3D_Update_11.exe
3) FlyTampa_Amsterdam_FSX_P3D_HITEX.exe
4) EHAM_P3Dv4_Patch for runway lights (????)
5) FlyTampa_Amsterdam_Update_P3Dv5.exe

Cheers!

See if replacing the attached file in FlyTampa/Saba/scenery/ fixed the fps problem.

You should get the 1.1 full installer. If you bought it here you can email us for that.

3 can be installed at any time after 1 and 2, can also be the last thing you do.

4 Doesn't need to be installed at all. None of the V5 updates on the first page require that you install the v4 updates.

Just installed EHAM and had a little fly around. As you approach the airport, a shading layer seems to appear in blocks ahead of you. Most noticeable at the lighter runway edges, which go dark as you approach.

Can you see this effect or do I need to do screenshots? Away from sim computer at the moment.

Hi Martin
Thanks for the reply
Yes, I've since discovered that using the (child) scenery folder or its parent will work equally well in a "add-on.xml". The original add-on.xml file in my updated libraries folder included an autogen component surrounded by the characters <!-- -->. Not sure what they were for (comment?). I removed them and included the autogen component also. Doesn't seem to have caused a problem, no errors reported!
Thanks for all the hard work on the updates, it's appreciated

The Autogen section is still there, but should be commented out or deleted completely. Activating it will cause some issues that aren't immediately obvious.
