Is Dynamic lighting supported(P3Dv4)?
« on: November 11, 2017, 03:53:41 pm »
Greetings,

Just curious....  Did a fly-in into KMEM last night and I noticed that some of the textures hadn't loaded (buildings black & runways just had an odd looking texture with the landing lights illuminating it) until I had almost parked at the gates then everything loaded.  I can't think of any other reason why this would of happened.  Maybe a setting somewhere?

Also, my sim froze for maybe 3-5 secs as the airport came into view(loading?) on my arrival.  Is this normal?  I thought my sim was going to CTD.  A bit disconcerting.

I definitely don't have a slouch of a PC and P3Dv4.1 settings are all in the medium/normal range.  Even my max texture size are set to 1024.

Specs:
Sim PC:  Intel i7 7820x OC 4.8GHz, XSPC RayStorm D5 EX240 Cooling, Rampage VI APEX MB, 32GB DDR4-3200 RAM, ASUS Strix GTX 1070 OC 8GB, 2x Samsung EVO 840 1TB SSD, 1TB WD Black HD, Corsair 1200AX PS

Sec. PC:  AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz, ASUS M5A97 R2.0 MB, 16GB RAM, EVGA GTX460 1GB, Agility3 120GB SSD, 500GB WD, Thermaltake Toughpower 650 Modular PS

Let me know if there's something I'm missing or some settings I can try.  Btw, everything is up to date.  Just did it via Addon Manager last weekend.

Thanks!
Thanks,
Todd.

***Update:  Just read in previous threads that this was updated to support dynamic lighting so I guess that answers my initial question.

But I still have that freeze of the sim as I am on arrival and the scenery loads up into memory.  I wouldn't think that's normal.  Let me know.
Thanks,
Todd.

Yes, it's normal, since we load almost all the scenery dynamically. It might be nice if there were a way to load objects as a background thread, but that's just not possible at this time.
