Title: Issues with Blurry Phototrealistic Scenery and FSDT KCLT
Post by: arclight on March 30, 2018, 04:15:31 pm
Hello,

I hope someone can help me. First I must say that the KCLT is incredible, outstanding job!!! The problem I am having (which I am not saying is a problem of FSDT scenery) is once I have installed KCLT scenery and I am doing a flight from KCLT to KMCO (I have Mega scenery Florida 4X and T2G KMCO) upon arriving in the Orlando area I immediately have very blurry scenery.  If I de-activate KCLT (through P3Dv4AddonOrganizer ) and redo the flight the scenery is fine and no blurriness in the KMCO area. Is there some setting that I must change in order for these to work together? Appreciate any help with this.


Regards,
Arclight

Nobody ever reported this problem, and nothing in KCLT can affect another scenery that far.

Does it make any difference if you change the Maximum textures size in the graphic settings to some resolution, and than back again as it were ? For example, try to set it at 2K res, then back to 4K, and see if textures "refresh" at their proper resolution.

Hello Umberto,

Thanks for responding quickly on this! I have done what you have asked but it is still blurry upon arrival.  I have since De-activated KCLT again and everything is crisp and clear.
It acts like there is a memory leak or something (not saying it is). It is very strange and this is even with a clean .cfg.  Everything looks great when I start in KCLT, clean crisp textures and once in flight everything looks good but as I approach KMCO the whole Orlando area goes blurry (about 25 NM out and sometimes further). I appreciate your time on this and please let me know if I can provide additional info!

Regards,

Arclight

I'm sorry, but this is really something that looks like a bug in the sim, possibly related/similar to the bug that caused black textures when having too many sceneries installed with the add-on.xml method.

Try to disable every other scenery using the add-on.xml method, except KCLT and the ones from Orlando which are blurried. Maybe it's the total number of sceneries active that is the problem, not KCLT itself, just as the old black textures problem. I assume you are using P3D 4.2, otherwise you'll also have that issue too, in 4.1.

I don't see how this thread has anything to do with your issue. You said the other scenery got blurred, I asked to disable all the other, now you are saying you are missing the whole program too ?

If yes, please don't post in this thread, but use the other thread which I linked already in my previous reply in the other thread:

http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,17553.0.html

no use repeating here the same thing said there.

Roger that and I will try and disable every other scenery using the add-on.xml method, except KCLT and the ones from Orlando. I will also bring this up to Lockheed and see what they say. Also your last post confused me, I take it this statement was for someone else cause I never replied.

Thanks for your assistance Umberto and I will let you know the results.

I replied to another user posted here something about the crash in P3D 4.1, but now he removed the post, so it seemed as if I was replying to you.

Hello Umberto,

Ok, I have done everything that you have asked and disable every other scenery using the add-on.xml method, except KCLT and the ones from Orlando. The problem still exists and I also got a bglmanx.dll error which crashed P3D v4.2. Once again that's for your assistance with this!

Standing by......

Are you sure you applied the latest Live Update ?
Title: Re: Issues with Blurry Phototrealistic Scenery and FSDT KCLT
Post by: arclight on April 04, 2018, 02:55:32 pm
Yes sir, did the Latest Live Update last night just to make sure and it happened again (blurriness and the crash with the now BGLMANX64.dll, was just BGLMANX.dll). It is definitely a strange situation cause once I disable KCLT in the scenery library everything clears up.  Once again thanks for all your help on this!!

Ok, so I have done everything I think I can to solve this and I think KCLT is incompatible to my system. Specs are 5930K, NVidia 1070 8gb, 16gb memory, Win 7 64 Pro and Prepar3d v4.2. I have removed all other scenery except for Mega scenery Florida X, T2G KMCO and FSDT KCLT. Everytime I fly from KCLT (which looks great BTW) and I am enroute to KMCO as I enter the Orlando area all surrounding scenery goes blurry and the system crashes with a BGLMANX64.dll error. I have done the live update numerous times to no avail. I have removed all FSDT scenery (KMEM,KFLL, GEX and KCLT) and reloaded everything and I am still getting the error with just KCLT. None of the other FSDT scenery is having issues. Once I deactivate KCLT, everything is fine and no issues. If anyone has any suggestion, I am open at this point.

Standing by!

Since the problem happens only if you fly into KMCO, the most likely issue is a conflict caused by the T2G KMCO. Have you tried disabling it ? Is this scenery using SODE jetways perhaps ?

Hello Umberto,

I have not disabled KMCO, will try that to see if that is the issue. Also, I am not sure if T2G KMCO uses SODE jetways will look into that! Thanks!

Hello Umberto,

Well I deactivated KMCO/KMCO terrain and any other Central Florida scenery I have (just in case) and had the same result (Blurry). I then reactivated all Central Florida Scenery (KMCO,KMCO Terrain, KORL) and deactivated KCLT and it was crisp and clear. Do you have any other suggestions??? Otherwise I believe the problem lies somewhere with KCLT and something possibly in my system, not sure at this point.
BTW everything I have read states that KMCO does not use SODE jetways.

UPDATE: I read in another section of the forum of someone else having blurry issue with KMEM. And I decided to check mine and that too is causing blurry issues and the crash of p3d v4.2 with a BGLMANX64.dll error......

There is something Foxtrot Uniform happening with the BGLMANX64.dll

Please advise!

I asked if you disabled the  T2G KMCO. Have you done that ? If there's a conflict with it and our software, we cannot possibly know, unless you disable it too. That's why I asked to disable it.

You are the only one reporting a crash with bglmanx64.dll, the other thread about KMEM was just about blurry textures, not crashes.

As I've said, I cannot think of anything in our software that could possibly cause blurred textures in other places of the world. I tried it now, went to default KMCO, and the two attached screenshots shows the area, first with all the FSDT software enabled, and then with all the FSDT software disabled. No difference whatsoever.

Of course, before going to KMCO, I moved to KCLT and KMEM too, to be sure they were both loaded once for that session.

Umberto,

As I stated in the previous message. I did follow your instruction and deactivated/Disabled KMCO and all Central Florida scenery and I got the same result (Blurry and crash). Let me ask you, should I delete every FSDT scenery and clean the registry and start over. Maybe something got messed up during the install which corrupted files and causing these issues? I am at a loss here and I am currently flying (for real) and wont be able to get back to checking this over the weekend. Your thoughts???

It's difficult to give you suggestions, when I cannot replicate the problem in any way, neither the blurred textures (which are only reported by *one* other user), nor the crash, which has only been reported by you.

Try THIS:

Go in your Documents\Prepar3d v4 Add-ons\Fsdreamteam KCLT folder, and replace the add-on.xml file with the one attached here. This assume you have installed all our software in their default location, which is under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Addon Manager". If you installed it elsewhere, you must change the <Path> line in the XML file to match your actual folder.

See if there's any difference.

Well Umberto,

I tried the file and it did not help unfortunately. I then deleted and deactivate all FSDT scenery and reinstalled and it did improve a little but after doing a flight into KCLT about 15 mins after landing the scenery at KCLT went blurry. I am at a loss here so I am probably going to hang it up for now and hope to see if the next version of P3D corrects the problem. Once again thanks for your help and if you think of anything else let me know.
