The release for 4.5HF1 compatibilty has not yet been released - we are continuing with testing.

[Norman Blackburn 3312]

Numerous threads about the HF have been merged.

[Andrew Wilson 7349]

Hi all –

A quick update on where we are: our teams have been busy testing with P3D v4.5.12 this week. We are still working some minor issues that we feel require addressing before releasing the update to our customers. We do appreciate everyone’s patience whilst we finalise the next update for release.

[Koen Meier 1324]

Good job on making it even better. Looking forward to this update.

[Robert Reilly 7]

I have no problem waiting for all that is contained in the patch and I don't want it released if its not working,  I think what is frustrating most people is that the plane is totally unusable with the HF from LM, wasn't there a way to release a small patch to allow us to continue to fly then release the rest of the patch with all the extra fixes and additions later ?

Why not use the 5 mins spent posting here to instead simply roll back the client to 4.4, if not permanently, then just for the short duration of your next FSLabs flight? Takes no time.

Otherwise people should just be patient and let them get on with their jobs.

Quick question... I am on 4.4 and think it runs well.  I have read people saying 4.5 still has issues with performance, etc.  Out of curiosity, what does 4.5 have that 4.4 doesn't?  What differences will there be?  In other words, is it worth it?

From what I can make out and BTW am on 4.4 and will probably stay there, 4.5 still problems with core 0 at 100% all the time etc being reported.

What will 4.5 bring you? Better/faster loading of Orbx true earth (I don't use it) better nighttime lighting (I don't fly at night) For the FSL rudder not messing with NWS (never had a problem with that also)

So if you use Orbx TE, fly at night and have problems with FSL NWS upgrade. If you don't then...why bother? 4.4 runs great and it's going to be some time before v5 LM has said the gap from 4.x to v5 will be the longest of any new version.

Personly I always stay away from vX.0 its normally vX.1 when all aircraft and add-ons are sorted so I normally start like v4 with 4.1 and upgrade when needed. 4.3 to 4.4 for me was a full re-install but worth it. 4.4 to 4.5? I think not, I might do client only if I feel the need! Till then I will enjoy the FSL and everything running well.

Interesting.. I fly at night but don't have the rudder issue or use True Earth.  The only issue I have with night lighting is that lights seem to pop up and shimmer a bit.  I use Black Marble so I wonder if that would be resolved in 4.5.

Yes that's now fixed.

[ALESSANDRO ANILE 24]

Hi guys,
with the latest Prepar3d Hotfix 4.5.12.30293, are there any compatibility issues?

 

a warning appears to me:

 

ERROR:

OK thank you

Am still thinking of sticking with v4.4 will the latest build still be OK with 4.4?

Yes should be fine.

......and with the first version of P3Dv4.5 (without hotfix)?

Thank you and Regards,

someone knows when the latest version of the bus will be released, compatible with hotfix p3d?

Alessandro, please read the following post regarding this topic from Andrew on the first page: The beta team needs a bit more time to test some new features at this time, but the're fully aware of the latest hotfix:

 

[Adam Errington 5]

I know a list of fixes will be published with the update but has the flight dynamics been adjusted? Issue was with the aircraft being blown all over whilst taxiing and severe rocking (on ground) in the slightest winds.

[Pete Driver 53]

Cmon guys.  Any update on when the hotfix fix will be released?  

[Kuber Padia 5]

Hahah I’m waiting desperately too! Been checking the forum for announcements every half hour since the last two days. Hang in there man, we’re gonna get it

Forgive me if this is already a known "bug" but I've noticed when flying in the USA , in the AOC PERF when I enter e.g 2981 the 4 boxers disappear and entry, when in Europe and enter 1014 the boxes stay along with the entry.

Not with this update. Solving this requires a bit more time, but it's certainly on the list to be fixed!

Thanks for the reply Markus, I’ll just roll back until a fix is found rather than awaiting this update.

Hi,

 

After uninstalling the bus, updating the Prepar3d client, download the new vers of the bus and installing, it wont work in the sim anymore.

I get this fault (see attached)

What to do?

[Koen Meier 1324]

the fslabs is incompatible with the latest version of p3d v4.5. they are working on an update that includes compatibility with the p3d hotfix.

[Nick Pålsson 1]

okay thanks for the quick reply.

Just missed it :)

[ConstantinXIV 0]

Like so much has changed!?! Other addons work straight away, but fslabs... always something... for all the money I've paid!

You need to put the decimal in there too, so 29.81.

Hi @ConstantinXIV

We ask our users to please use their real name as their forum name.  Full details can be forum here.  Thanks..

[Richard Nellyer 146]

Hi Norman,

I suggest putting a large banner at the top of the forums with "Not Compatible with P3D v4.5 Hotfix" perhaps surrounded by flashing lights, tickertape and a hooter that goes off if you try and post that the bus isn't working.

maybe not that important, but from different youtube videos I know both wings and extended flaps are shaking when taxiing down the tarmac, is it possible to get this for the Fslabs Airbus?

Almost got excited for sharklets Keep up the good work!

We're not working on a simple compatibility update. You'll also get new features and many bug fixes. That's why it takes a little bit longer. So for all that money you've paid you get an aircraft that is constantly being developed and improved. We can only hope that you'll find this worthy of a few days of delay.

You mean like all the money for the "ATSU Expansion pack"? ;-) .... oh wait, no, that was free!

HI,
Do you have information about timing?
Thanks

[Pietro Ferraro 1]

Good day,

Cannot use fslabs a320 with the new hotfix installed... Are you planning to release an update?

Thanks

[Luca vom Bruch 95]

The twitch streamers are flying a new beta within a day of hotfix release with no problems and the customers have to wait forever. Totally lame. Only one time they released a compatibility update fast.

In general the P3D updating system is a mess, you update single components, uninstall first, then you have 3 diferent components where sometimes the version state is different, and then you have to uninstall FSlabs, Spotlights and reinstall. Why cant it be just one installer anyway.

Total mess. Then there is Outside scenery XML, and inside scenery library. Lockheed should really streamline this for P3D V5. When I install a Windows update, I dont have to reinstall Windows, or suddenly WORD stops working because of UNSUPPORTED DLL. Its bullshit. I bet it is easy for FSL to make it compatible.

X-Plane is better in this regard, update program, only updates files that need to be updated, "next, next, downloading, done" Same with the Java Updater for Planes, enter CD key, check beta update, installs, done. 99% of the time this does not break the Addon Plane.

There should be a CORE beta team that is allowed to post issues in bug tracker.

but there should be a PUBLIC BETA channel with NO SUPPORT, NO CRYING just for people that want to fly again. NO WARRANTY MAY CONTAIN BUGS.

I understand FSlabs wants to use the chance to make other fixes for the new version, but there should be a FAST RING compatibility update path. Even if it is paid on a monthly subscription basis.

/rant end. inb4 FSLabs censors me, for voicing opinion.
