P3d v4.2 missing autogen

[snooty83]

Hello
I have P3d v4.2 installed. I have extreme problems with the autogen.
At the departure airport, the car is full. When I arrive at the approach airport, it takes a long time until the autogenous charge.
I tested. If I am a few miles from the departure airport, the autogenous will reload very reluctantly. I have the GTX1080Ti, 32gb ram and the I7 8700k processor.
It's not nice to fly like that. What can I do?
Greetings Dani

Hi Dani,

You may need to further adjust some settings. Version 4 loads a much larger amount of autogen at the same slider levels than previous versions. This combined with other high settings and detailed add-on airports can cause what you're seeing with autogen.

Hello Rob
I have Autogen draw distance set to high before very hight. I fly with 400kias. The autogenous will not be recharged faster. What else can I do? I really have a very good PC. That can not be the problem.

Seriously, that is the "solution"? Did you check his hardware specs? No wonder, all other autogen late loading threads remain unanswered. So, only on "medium" you can expect fast autogen loading? Or do you mean, you only have autogen loading in advance, if you reduce density to "medium" or below? So, why offering at all this increased autogen drawing distance? I don't get it, really.

BTW: in Version v4.1, the drawing distance and density was not noticeably lower, yet this damn issue was not there. Strange, no? Even stranger: if you load P3Dv4.2 for the first time, the autogen is loaded around your plane as it should. Then, select "new Scenario" and compare, autogen is loaded late and in Patches. Select a third time "new Scenario", and the autogen is initially not loaded at all. To me, this rather seems that there is something wrong instrinsically in v4.2 with autogen loading...

Hello @Rob McCarthy

So I do not think this is a hardware issue. As I read various forum, so many have the same problems as me. Can you please look at that in your team and correct for the v4.2? do you know when the next update comes out?

I honestly couldn't agree more. Something in genuinely broken with the autogen loading. I have spoken to so many people, who are all running v4.2 and every single one of them has issues with it loading in after departure. I don't have a bad system, and I have a drive just for P3D, nothing else is running on it, so it can't be getting slowed down. My textures are fine as well. Something really needs to be fixed. It's getting so annoying..

After doing a bunch of testing, the one and only thing that makes my autogen load, albeit not very far, is setting the "Autogen Draw Distance" to Medium. Anything higher causes the autogen to lag behind.. I got three other people to test this out and it all helped them on different systems. So our options are have autogen but only two feet in front of us or have no autogen at all if we want it further. Please fix this.

I really hope this will be one of the main issue to be fixed in v 4.3. There have been a lot of reports since v 4.2 of autogen not loading at destination, even with the most advanced hardware. I don't have a latest generation video card, but have done a lot of tests and the ONLY way to have autogen loading at destination is by using draw distance=MEDIUM...

Same here. With "medium" the autogen builds up continually, sort of "grows" from the ground which I find quite pleasing to see. Unfortunately, the radius where it starts to "grow" is quite close, I would say not farther away than the autogen radius was in Prepar3d3.

Any setting above it loads in patches. I settled with "medium" for now, as I can't stand the fields of buildings popping up out of nothing.

Kind regards, Michael

Same here, settled with "medium" for now. But it still makes me slightly angry if I re-read what people like McCarthy write in such threads. If you get any reply at all.
