Scenery Issues

Post by tdohrer »

Hello,
I am having issues with scenery that i was not having with 4.4. I didnt know if this might be fixed in the hot fix that is upcoming or this something different? Here are couple pics showing what happens. When i start off the flight all of the scenery is good. Details, everything is there and clear. As the flight continues and descend down it all start to mesh together. This is over SBGR, Orbx scenery, tropical sim SBGR which shows up just fine. Any ideas?

No photos appear. Do you mean blur when you say 'mesh together?'

Blurred ground textures arise due to a number of reasons, usually because your system cannot support the display settings you are using. One of the differences with v4.5 is ability to extend scenery draw distance and higher resolution textures but it comes at a cost. I'm just guess in the dark here since I really don't know what your problem is yet.

Forget about the hotfix.

Start with default P3D v. 4.5 and see if the issue is still there - repeat: default P3D and no ORBX or other add-ons!

If the issue then is still there, then you have a P3D issue.

If the issue is gone with default 4.5, then install your add-ons, one at a time, and test to see if the issue re-appears. If it does, then you have just found the cause of the issue - the most recently-installed add-on!

This is basic troubleshooting, and necessary to isolate the problem. There is no way around that. If you aren't willing to do it, then you will have to live with the problem.

The reason I say forget about the hotfix, is that:

1. We don't know when it is coming out, and

2. We don't know which problem it is going to fix on which systems with which add-ons. On the contrary, many seem to think that the hotfix will fix every issue and give you unlimited FPS with a LOD radius of 10 on a system with a Z80A CPU, 8 MB of RAM and on a TV monitor - okay, that is maybe exaggerating it a little bit.....

Did you actually do the basic troubleshooting that I pointed out to you?
