Post by: f.skywalker on June 04, 2016, 03:50:20 pm
Hi FSDT,

i read in a post that La Palma now working in GSX !

"Support for airports using non-standard ground elevation, like Aerosoft Madeira, La Palma, etc."

Is this true.

In my FSX and some other People it does not work.
How can i make it work....

Thanks

The fix for La Palma has been released earlier today. Use the "Check Live Update" of the Couatl menu to get it.

Yess now work fine but if I active GSX in a park position the frames drop down from 50 fps to 5/9 fps.

This is only on this scenario; on other scenarios GSX works well with no frame drop.

Before the update, the vehicles were there, but they were simply buried in the ground. Did you still had the fps drop before ?

Does the fps increase if you turn off the "Airplane cast shadows on ground" option ?

No FPS hit before. Also the shadow thing doesn't work.

I haven't asked if you had any fps before. I asked if you see better fps now, if you turn the airplane shadows off.

What do you mean with doesn't work ? Are you unable to deselect the shadows ? Or you can, but it doesn't make any difference with fps ?

Ok, I will try it again to explain:

No, I don't had any FPS drops in La Palma before the update.


Does the fps increase if you turn off the "Airplane cast shadows on ground" option ?

No, this doesn't help (just around 2 FPS more).

We don't have any idea why the frame rate drops at La Palma. I can only guess this might be due to the non-standard way the airport is done.

Does the fps increase if you turn off the "Airplane cast shadows on ground" option ?

Hi!

Just want to let you know that I have the same issue in GCLA. Without GSX there are 31 frames (locked) with PMDG 737NGX. After calling GSX services frames went down to 6! Canceling GSX services brings back 31 frames.

Best regards,
Frank

Maybe I can add one more dimension on this.
I have same problem as above described but in a way a little different.
With PMDG 747 v3 I have 30 fps and when I start GSX it drops to 5 fps.
With default Lockheed Constellation I have 40 fps and when I start GSX it drops "only" by 10 fps to approx 30 fps.
It seams to be something wrong with Aerosofts GCLA and combined with PMDG it multiplies.

On any other add on airport with PMDG it drop only 2-3 fps when I start GSX.
As someone suggested I checked the afcad file for errors but can not see that it is any wrong with the afcad file for Aerosofts GCLA.

Yes, that seems to be reasonable and expected.

I don't think the scenery has "errors", but it's just the unusual way it's made (it's elevated with hollowed ground), it's probably causing issue to the FSX graphic engine.
