FSDreamTeam scenery messed up after long flights
« on: March 09, 2013, 02:57:29 am »
Hey guys,
so this has recently occurred to me but everytime I do long haul flights to the following FSDreamTeam airports (KFJK and KLAX) upon arrival the scenery is messed up. What I mean by that is bits of the terminal are missing, some bits are transparent and the GSX is also messed up (the airstairs truck is transparent too)
Its annoying me now and I would appreciate a solution, as I have a high end system.
Thanks for all your hard work :)

PARTS of buildings missing don't have anything to do with our products or their installation. It's SURELY a video memory corruption due to video memory over-usage likely caused by the long flight, because you have either too many add-ons installed and/or too high settings and/or wrong tweaks in the FSX.CFG so, by the time you land, there's a problem with video ram which causes parts of objects to disappear.

- First try to reset your video driver settings to default. Be sure you don't use "Transparency Antialiasing" (or "Adaptive Anti-aliasing" ).

- If that doesn't work, try to update your video driver too.

- If that doesn't work, try to reset your %APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX\FSX.CFG file, to have FSX rebuild a new one with default settings

- Be sure you apply the HIGHMEMFIX tweak to the FSX.CFG, you can enabled it with the Addon Manager too.

I tried everything you said to do, it improved the performance quite a bit but still did not solve the issue. This time I`ve got some screenshots, which was taken after an 11 hour 30 minute flight from Frankfurt

Your screenshots just confirms what I've suspected: you still are having video memory corruption, due to the long flight. I'm sorry, but I don't see any other option than trying to lower your graphic settings, hoping it the issue will be fixed.

Just to be more clear about it: until you are about 10NM out from KLAX, NOTHING of the scenery is loaded. Which means, by the time you go there and the scenery is finally loaded, the eventual memory leakage/corruption due to the long flight has already happened, and KLAX is just a victim of a problem that has already happened, but you wouldn't see it, because it needed to load a fairly large airport with lots of textures like KLAX, to become apparent.

Thanks for your help, I think I`ve found the issue which is on my side. This programme called "FSX Xtreme PC Booster" has been altering my fsx.CFG and things like the "HIGHMEMFIX=1" was not there for some reason, I am confident that its been fixed so I shall test it next weekend. Thanks for all your help!!
And thats why I can`t see the runway until short final, loads pretty late ;) ;)

That's precisely the reason why I've said, my first reply:
