Lockheed Martin have gone ahead and updated Prepar3d 3.4 with yet another hotfix. This time, they’ve addressed issues with SLI when using nVidia hardware. The team at Lockheed Martin have worked hard with the guys at NVIDIA to resolve lots of issues. They say you need to be using version 378.49 of the NVIDIA drivers before updating Prepar3d to version v3.4.22.19868.
As usual, you can opt to install just the Client installer or if you prefer, a complete clean install can be achieved. You can find the hotfix in your download account.
Out side SLI improvements, some other fixes have also been made.
Heads up: Usual add-ons like HiFi Simulations’ Active Sky 16, Orbx products and more probably need an update before they work 100%. We’ll await the news of any updates and let you know.
