This is getting silly. Thought I would wait until 2.2 came out for Prepar3d. Done a complete reinstall and installed Prepar3d V2.2. First addon was XPOI. Ran p3d and STILL missing letters. Will this be patched as it is not working either with 2.1 or 2.2. Other people are having the same problem and it cant be blamed on Simconnect. It clearly states on download page that xpoi is compat with Prepar3d. Will this be looked at again.

Found the problem and, of course, it wasn't an XPOI bug, but rather a P3D bug. It seems the meaning of the NoZWrite flag has been reversed from P3D 2.1 onward, at least for this kind of semi-transparent objects so, in 2.1+ you have to enable it otherwise some objects will disappear, but that depends on their arrangement on screen.

However, that's not correct and in fact, in FSX objects flagged as such would disappear behind other semi-transparent objects, like clouds.

So, we haven't changed the objects, but updated the installer that will patch all .MDL files when it's done copying, but under P3D 2 only, so we can easily revert the change in case LM will eventually fix this issue. So, for the time being, downloading and installing the updated installer for XPOI will fix the problem with P3D.
