  1. OK seems to be working all right now after re-install. But my observation where the Aircraft.cfg,bak file is generated when I load ANY Aircraft. But when the Aircraft is unload or I close the sim the backup file is removed. This seems to be an automatic thing where maybe an external program tweaking the normal cfg and than saving the .bak file as a backup. I cannot think of an external program that would cause this. Regards
  2. I just noticed this seems to be happening with all addon planes when I Load them. Very strange occurance.
  3. Would someone be able to explain what is happening here? I loaded the E-195 and the PF & FO Displays are all showing together, all rolled up into one little neat package. This does not look right. I also note that when I look at the Aircraft folder under simobjects\Airplanes as shown here, there was an Aircraft.cfg,bak file created. IT WAS NOT THERE BEFORE. This is an auto generated file that I believe is causing this. Can some one in development or maybe there is someone who might have experienced the same thing please shine some light on this? I know it is unusual. I have never ever experienced such weirdness. Regards
  4. Everything seemed to perform normally. HDG Mode seems OK now. I changed back and forth between HDG and LNAV as a test throughout the flight as well. I am concluding for myself that the previous install may have been corrupted somehow. Regards TS
  5. I have Uninstalled\Re-Installed and I am going to redo the flight. Maybe I had a corrupted Installation before, but I re-downloaded the latest executable program file, so we'll see when I redo the particular flight where I seemed to have this problem. HDG Mode works OK after Take Off and during cruise, it's just when descending on approach to my destination that I noticed my problem. I will report back after the flight, good or bad.
  6. This is for the E175 Model V3, using P3Dv5... This has happened the last two flights and both times the HDG Mode is inoperable. I switch from FMS Mode to V\L Mode and click on the HDG button. When I change to the desired heading the aircraft does not turn to capture, it continues on a straight course. Speed control seems to work as it should when clicking to manual from FMS mode. Any ideas what would cause this. I have never had any problems with HDG Mode in the past. I am actually quite annoyed as I do enjoy flying the E-Jets. I should add also, this is occurring on the TOD--> Approach phase. HDG Mode seemed to work during Takeoff phase when I wanted to capture the LNAV waypoint. regards, TS
  7. Yes, I am actually using 2048 x 2048. Don't notice much difference. I only replaced the "emb_glarebuttons.dds" file. I left the "emb_glarebuttons_n.dds" as is @ 1024 x 1024 because I noticed a bit of a stutter using the 2048 or 4096 size. But you can try the 4096 and see for yourself.
  8. OK, I fixed it! There is a .dds conversion app online (https://www.aconvert.com/). I used it to re-size the "emb_glarebuttons.dds & emb_glarebuttons_n.dds" files to 2048 and 4096. I tried both the 2048 and 4096 and didn't see much difference in resolution. So I settled for the 4096 (no hit on FPS either). The Glareshield buttons are readable from my normal VC view now. It's like night and day! I am keeping the 3 options (1024, 2048, 4096) for these 2 files in a separate folder for backup in my "sharedtexture" folder in the feelthere PIC E175 folder. They can be easily interchanged if needed. Sorry, the converted file zip would total 17mb, the max for attachments is 4.88mb, so I am not able to include them here. But the above files are easily converted using the website above. Hope this helps others with this problem. Regards, TS
  9. Because it is the "Glareshield" buttons I am having the problem with, I opened the "sharedtextures" folder in the PIC E175 folder and there is a file called "emb_glarebuttons.dds" with a texture size of 1024 x 1024 pixels. If that file size was changed to say 2048 or 4096 (If I knew how to do that I would give it a try...Maybe there is a file conversion app out there), would that possibly fix the problem? Maybe the developers could chime in here as well. But maybe it's not as easy as that. I don't know. Regards, TS
  10. I thought the blurry MCP texture problem was fixed in the latest Service Pack. I did a flight today and it was impossible to read the buttons on the MCP. Even when I zoom in they are hard to read. I can easily navigate the various buttons by memory, but that is not the point, I'm Lazy...LOL😀. They should be more legible than currently presented. I believe this was one of the top of the list features that needed to be addressed with the latest Service Pack. Has anyone else experienced this with the latest build? Regards, TS
  11. I installed the normal way and then manually moved the Feelthere folder O/S of the root P3Dv4.5 drive. It's over 10gb, I do not want it taking up space on my SSD drive. So I created an addon.xml file with the following and placed it in documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\FeelThere Ejets : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <SimBase.Document Type="AddOnXml" version="4,0" id="add-on"> <AddOn.Name>FeelThere EJets</AddOn.Name> <AddOn.Description>FeelThere EJets</AddOn.Description> <AddOn.Component> <Category>SimObjects</Category> <Path>D:\P3D v4 Addons\FeelThere EJets\SimObjects\Airplanes</Path> </AddOn.Component> <AddOn.Component> <Category>Scripts</Category> <Path>D:\P3D v4 Addons\FeelThere EJets\Scripts</Path> </AddOn.Component> <AddOn.Component> <Category>Effects</Category> <Path>D:\P3D v4 Addons\FeelThere EJets\Effects</Path> </AddOn.Component> </SimBase.Document> Everything works fine. Regards
  12. I think I have resolved my problem. When I ran the Installation file it gave me 2 choices: 1. Install Into prepared 3Dv4 folder OR 2. Install Into prepared 3Dv4 User Add-ons folder (which installs to the Document folder on the drive P3D is on) I should have used #2... to install into Add-On folder, which I have now done and I moved the FeelThere Ejets folder over to my D:\ drive and placed an xml file in the Documents folder to point to that Drive. So, the Configuration file seems to be working now. Thanks for your assistance and time! Regards, TS
  13. BTW, can I install directly (or change the installation location) to a drive outside of the P3D drive?
  14. Yes, I uninstalled the Original but did not run the SP1 Installer as Administrator. I moved the Feelthere Ejets folder to my D:\ drive and pointed to it using the P3D addon xml procedure. This is how I did it with the 1st release with no problems. Thanks for the reply.
  15. When I click on the Configuration extension file it does not recognized my E175 and E195. The tabs are greyed out across the top. Any ideas? BTW I have the latest installation file. Regards TS
