Beacon in P3Dv4

Post by Markrb »

Anybody else having an issue with the red beacon not flashing after installing the new 182 for P3Dv4? The surfaces around the beacon have the reflection effect flashing but the beacon itself remains dark.

Hello,

are you using any other add-ons?

We have already had reports of one AI addon that doesn't seem to be a correct P3Dv4 addon and over wrote files with old style effects.

thanks,
Lewis

I'm running a fresh install of P3Dv4 with no add ons. The A2A C182 is the only thing I have installed.

Hello,

can you let us know your P3D settings. In particular what your frame limiter is set too?

Lewis,

My settings are pretty low end. Sliders are mostly down the middle or 1 notch to the right at most. HDR is off. No traffic. Frame limiter was set to Unlimited but I have since tried it at 10 and 20 with no change.

I did go back into P3Dv3 to see if my beacon worked before and noticed that it does work but the reflection effect is missing there. Is it possible that having the older 182 installed in v3 is effecting the new 182 I installed into v4?
