C182 in P3Dv5 - graphic errors in the VC

Post by StippiPic84 »

Dear all,
today I`ve installed C182 with new P3Dv5 Installer in P3Dv5.
Downloaded the installer where i`ve bought the addon.
Final Installationswindow informed me that installation was successfull.

Then I startet P3Dv5 and loaded the aircraft. Unfortunately there are lots of graphic errors in the VC.
For example numbers in the radio panel are not on the right place.

I dont know how to insert a picture in the forum.

For the installation i`ve done the following:
Downloaded new installer on the sim market website
Installed the c182
Started P3Dv5
Loaded Airport and Aircraft

I use parallel the camera addon Chaseplane, may this causes some problems.

Thank you in advance for any help,
best,
Stefan Nirschl

Hi Stefan,

Unfortunately, there's a bug in the current version of P3Dv5 whereby the "COCKPIT_HIGH_LOD=" entry in the Prepar3D.cfg is being set from "1" to "0" for some users. This appears to be happening when the sim runs out of video RAM and, unlike in FSX, this setting cannot be adjusted in the sim's graphics menu.

Lockheed Martin are aware of the issue and it'll be addressed in their next update to the sim. In the meantime, you can fix the issue by manually editing the Prepar3D.cfg with a text editor to change the "COCKPIT_HIGH_LOD=" entry from "0" to "1".

The Prepar3D.cfg can be found in C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5.

Thanks,
Nick
