CTD when selecting "motion blur"

[Blaunarwal]

The sim was full loaded when I tried the setting motion blur, after clicking ok was back on the desktop.

Restart the sim, came to the settings menu, choose my flight and started, another CTD. No i disabled Motionblur in the prepar3d.cfg.

I use the latest Nvidia driver 497.09. Could it be, Motionblur doesn´t like DSR settings?

Also DSR disabled, Motionblur leads to black screen, hourglas for 2 seconds, then desktop.
I got a protocol this time

It would be very nice, if LM staff could explain here, what maybe conflicting with the "Motionblur" setting. I never had a GUI setting causing a CTD before. So please, what does it change, what are the hardware demands for this?

Do you other users use it? Does it work or crash the sim? What is the visual benefit?

Hello,

Are you seeing this on a clean installation? Does it happen with all aircraft? Motion blur will add a blur effect around objects that is mainly visible when quickly moving the camera.

Hi

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, I have not set up a vanilla system to test at the moment. I have all my addons installed for long time.

Maybe I install P3D5.3 without any addons using my second activation on my older system, which has 4 cores at 4.2 GHz, another GPU RTX2080. So it will be not a direct comparison. How about a test mode, LM could create booting the sim only with default content?

I will try with another plane of course. Would that mean, only default planes and a few others are ready for motion blur?

Hi Dan,

Most likely different aircraft won't have any impact on this, it's mainly to rule out specific add-ons. If you run the "Delete generated files" shortcut in the Prepar3D installation directory it will force configuration files to be regenerated from scratch. This is a good starting point when diagnosing issues but will also impact add-ons.

Hi Rob
Delete generated files is a massive tool for brain surgery. I prefer the logical way. First think, then cut. I have to many addons and time spent to install, to just skip them. Then I rather don´t use the option since it is just more economical.

P.S. The tip with the aircraft was right. I started with default flight and F-35. Motionblur activated, everything fine. Change to a freeware Lookheed Neptune, no problem. Then I choose the Ctrl Ezy IA-58 Pucara and the sim crashed. I have to add here, I modified the model, so it is not clear if the standard model makes the sim crash in conjuction with motion blur. So other users of this plane may not encounter it. I think I can live without motionblur, but not without the Pucara, at least for now.

A few weeks ago, I had the same effect:
Clean P3Dv5.2 install, ORBX GEN/GES, UK South, several small airstrips by Aerosoft and simmershome.
Installed A2A Bonanza V35 with default settings: all o.k.; switched to HiRes settings (5400 x 1440) incl. motion blur: all o.k.
Installed A2A Spitfire, default a/c loads o.k.; change to Spit: CTD (settings were HiRes).
In contact with Nick at A2A tried several things, found that with default settings, Spit loads o.k.. Whenever changed to HiRes settings, P3D crashed. By methodical testing, from default settings, adding one settings item at a time, I ticked „Motion Blur“, and… CTD! Tried again, same effect.
Heureka! This seems the problem.
Funny though, motion blur ticked worked fine with the other A2A aircraft, Bonanza V35! So, it is not A2A or the sceneries, it seems to be a combination. Will try different A2A aircraft and different airfields.
