P3D v5 No autogen trees over photo-scenery bgl for p3d v5 (solved)

[FrancisJohannes]

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if you can help me with this. Using Annotator I placed all my trees on my photo-scenery in P3D-V4 and it seems that for P3D-V5 all trees wont show up using the same photo-scenery.
How can I make all those trees appear over my photo-scenery in p3d-v5?

Thank you.

Hi,

Which vegetation class did you use for your polygons? If you used a default GUID it should work in v5 as well, but if you used a GUID that was added by an addon it might not exist in your v5 installation.

For the rest just copying the photoreal BGL and the AGN file should be enough for it to work in v5 as well.

Hi there,

well, I definitely copy and pasted the same agn files and bgl from p3d. It just doesn’t pop up on v5. Very strange. I basically used the the default GUID. No 3rd party trees/ autogen.

Can I send you the scenery files to see if is me the issue?
I’ve been able to share a beta copy of this scenery and you can view the trees on different computers. But only p3dv4.

In P3d v5 are photo scenery mesh need to be installed in a separate folder and give them more priority?

the trees look flat and in the air flowing. Outside the area of the photo scenery autogen is normally placed.

Hi,

Can you maybe show a screenshot of how it looks? Maybe we can spot something from that.

I don't have P3D v5 installed myself, so I can't help in testing.

And if i do the same screengrabs in p3d-v4, my photo-scenery would have default vegetation i placed there using Annotator .

Which vegetation class do you use in your autogen?

 

[FrancisJohannes]

Hi Arno,

i use cottonwood and broadleaf mostly.

@arno
so, i simply just had to update my P3D to v5.1,. Uninstalled it and reinstalled it and the autogen is there.

Two simple questions: why on V5 the photoreal can't receive dynamic lights splash? And also why photoreal is correct in V4 but in V5 seems lower res then V4? A little OT but these things are strange

In v5.1 dynamic lighting, like I noticed, is a weaker. The question Is how are you doing your lights in MCX?
As for me, and a lot of us, we get our light splash in v5.1.

I personally noticed that not only does v5.1 give me better performance but it also gives me a better looking photoreal. Did you change your settings to higher details ?

how are you setting your graphics in v5.1?

My settings:

And a comparison between the same terrain in V4.5 (the last) and V5.1 (the first two)

Your settings look great but I can't pinpoint much of a difference because the v4.5 picture is smaller, more concentrated.

I think is a thing of lighting. Nothing to stress. Lighting is different between them both. It will make textures depending on the person looking at it, less or more real.

v5.1

v4.5

Thanks It's probably due to the new shaders and the new illumination in V5
