Gate numbers - been away for a while
« on: April 27, 2022, 07:20:48 am »
I took a year off from flight sims and am back (for now) and have updated everything. I am glad to see some new and surprising features from GSX2. However, I noticed that the check box in parking editor for gate number is greyed out. I went into Addon Manager and found that "disable RTT" was selected so I unchecked that, saved to P3dv5, then restarted P3dv5. However, the box for gate number is still greyed out. I was looking to see if this had not been corrected, or if I had missed a step somewhere to get this feature enabled again. Thanks

Also noticed that despite making the changes listed above, "disable RTT" is checked again each time P3Dv5 is restarted to apply the change of unchecking that.

The RTT feature requires DirectX 11, which P3D V5 doesn't support in any way, and we used features specific to text rendering from DirectX 11 that are missing in Direct X 12, and some 3rd party open source library which is also not available in Direct X 12, so getting that feature in P3D V5 is not feasible.

Understood. Thank you for the explanation. So if I am reading this correctly, the gate number feature is not available, correct?
