F-35 Lightning II version 3.0 for Prepar3D v2.5

I think that is a good conclusion. Thanks again, Rob!

Just to clarify an OS limit is as below for the path+filename length if this helps?

All components together including null terminator D:\somefolder\somesubfolder\somefile.extension{nul}

260

Limit imposed by Windows OS.

Hi Chris,

I just discovered this potential issue myself, browsing the internet.
Although it appears to be not an MS-Windows version restriction, but related to the used file system format (ie. FAT / FAT32 vs NTFS).

Don't know yet how Hans' external disk drive is formatted (that seems to be what's unique in his PC setup).

Although I can't imagine that this really is the problem ....
I don't know exactly how Windows composes the complete pathname on its internal API, but this 260-character limit sounds unlikely to be the culprit in this case.

Thanks anyway ....

That was going to be my next option if it wasn't the OS. At lease you all got to the cause and its sorted

In case you do not follow my facebook page or my blog - here are two preview pircture of the new version 3.0 of my F-35 project.

This version is specifically built for Prepa3D + Tacpack. Main features at the moment are:
- An improved visual model (F-35B only at the moment... but the F-35A is being worked on) with more 3D details and better textures
- Improvements to the cockpit fuctionality (including ASR mode and TFLIR / DAS ....although they will not be completely independent due to memory restrictions)
- Improvements to the VC graphics and functionalities
- Improvements to the flight model according to the latest publicly available information

I realize this is a little bit of an old thread, but how does this payware version compare to your version that comes with P3D 3.2? I am wondering if I need to buy this beast if it has other functionality?

Eric.

Sorry for the late reply - the "stock" P3Dv3 Lightning II is basically a non-Tacpack, -A version only, work-in-progress version of the new package - I gave it to LM as I thought it was already much better than the previos model.

If you are a Tacpack user, the payware "full" version features a much better Tacpack intergration (including TFLIR, DAS and other stuff) along with the -B and -C models.

If you are not using Tacpack, apart from some minor visual refinements, the only big thing would be the new -B and -C models - which look much better than the old freeware version IMHO.
