Lags for a few seconds after changing views

Hi There, I'm running v4.2 with a new system (8700k, 1080 ti), and I'm experiencing lags and stutters for a couple of seconds every time I change views using chaseplane. For example, when I switch from the vc to an over the wing view, it lags before running perfectly smooth, and the same thing happe...

Re: V4.1 error installing

Oke I tried it in a different browser again and everything is fine. Strange as the file sizes are the same between the problem ones earlier and the good ones now. Oh well, at least it's reinstalled and I can get in the air.

Thanks a lot everyone,

John

Re: V4.1 error installing

Thanks for your reply,

I have used different browsers as well as my download manager. I'm absolutely clueless as to why this is happening.

[RESOLVED] V4.1 error installing

Hi there, I'm trying to install 4.1 and I keep getting error messages about hash value not being correct. I ran the checksum and the values don't match for all of the scenery.cab files. I've downloaded the full zip twice, as well as each individual component twice and they still don't match. I used ...

Re: Autogen Loading in patches

Why do people automatically assume that we all have settings and sliders too high? Why the sarcasm? There are a lot of people, myself included, along with tons of users in the Avsim forum that are complaining about the same thing. It's annoying to see night lighting pop in slowly, or when autogen lo...

I'm sorry everyone but I'm done. Returning v4 now and will get it once these and other bugs are worked out.

Identifying one Cause of Dynamic Lighting Problem

Hi everyone, I'm not sure where to stick this, so maybe the mods can decide later. I spent a lot of time taxing around in the F-22 as well as the PMDG birds with all of the landing, taxi, wing, and rwy turnoff lights and experienced different degrees of performance hits at some FSDT and FB airports....

Re: Night Sky Too Bright

I accidentally stumbled on something in a PTA preset that may have helped to isolate the problem. Making it darker in the tonemap night exposure in the main .cfg helped some. However, I noticed a setting in a PTA preset I tried that seemed to do the trick. It involved ticking Custom Post Processing ...

Night Sky Too Bright

Hi everyone, Is there a way to darken the night sky by editing a value in a shader file or something else? I've tried changing the tonemap but that darkens everything, and the sky still looks terrible. Horizontal bands of varying-degrees of dark shades cross the screen, I'm guessing as part of the h...

Re: Autogen delayed loading v4

I agree, this is an engine problem. I keep saying, and nobody seems to be catching this, the autogen loads slowly no matter what settings I have. Maybe it's just a matter of degree, but how it loads is what should be re-evaluated. Maybe it could be prioritized differently at the expense of something...

Re: Autogen delayed loading v4

Hi there, I have a gtx 1060, i7-6700k 4.4 ghz, and 16gb ram. I'm using ORBX FTX global, NALC, Vector, Flightbeam, FSDT and some random airport sceneries, PMDG 737 and 777, TFDI 717, ActiveSky, ASCA and UTLive. It's important to note that no matter what my settings are, and believe me, I've tried the...

Autogen Loading Slowly or Popping Again

Hi Everyone, I wanted to keep this topic alive as it is still a common problem that needs to be addressed. I've tried all of the tips and tricks that I could find in order to make my system "good" enough to handle autogen loading in a timely manner, but nothing, I mean nothing is working. ...

Re: P3D v4 with PMDG 737NGX FPS drop While turning light knob

I don't care whether it's PMDG's fault or something that LM can address. This is a big annoyance, considering how important landing lights are. What's more annoying is that everyone seems to be passing the buck, as usual, instead of coming up with a solution. Between this and the autogen loading pro...

Re: No autogen at destination airport P3D v4

For me, autogen isn't loading at the destination either, anywhere, so I don't think it's an ORBX region problem for me. Aside from dialing the autogen back to almost nothing, nothing works. I have a better-than-average system, and this problem never happened in v3 or x-plane for comparison. The only...

Re: Autogen delayed loading v4

Add me to the list. I have a good system, this shouldn't be happening. I've tried a wide-range of settings, including a fresh install and the same problem occurs time and time again. Same if using stock or with addons. Tried various drivers. The only way I can get it to load is if I change the densi...
