Scenery causing FSX to act strange

(1/3) > >>

Hi,
first off the bat, love the sceneries have all except 1 and have changed from fs9 to fsx most recently. I have taken great care and time in setting up payware addons into my FSX so far 2 aerosoft german airpots, land mesh, landclass, Orbx sceneries and terrain incl PNW amd FTX oz. Everything was running very smoothly no issues, flew every way in my pmdg aircraft and my level D 767.

I then added just KJFK to test it out and then thats when things went pear shaped. The sim would stutter long pauses, go to a black screen and then return to the sim and even distort and draw the graphics out so that buildings were streched to make long extended versions as well as colour distortions, so i searched the forum did an uninstall of everything deleted the BGL.dll thing and removed the lines from the fsx.cfg installed it again and same issue. so I uninstalled it and did that and then sim worked with no problems. Then i skipped FSDT scenery and installed the Quality Sim 757 and randomly in flight it would crash my sim at random times at different locations, before flight middle flight, with and without autopilot and I noticed both these addons use Virtuali software.
Now im not here to bash anything or anyone, I am a big fan of FSDT but I cannot see why my sim acts strange everytime I install a Virtuali software product because when its no installed my sim works fine and I can fly for long periods of time with no hickups.

And I am desperate to fix this issue so I can fly into KJFK or chicago or Honolulu without worrying about the issues I am experiencing.

I run all my system on windows 7 64bit with core i7 930 and a GTX480 graphics card, my anti virus is NOD32 and it does not scan any files in FSX nor does it scan until 3am, all firewalls are disabled and my user account setting is set to lowest possible as well as I run as administrator, 6gb of triple channel ram.

Sorry but, from your description of the problem (strange graphic artifacts, wrong polygons), it's nothing that can be caused by a scenery, and not even by an addon .dll module.

Only a problem with video drivers can cause that.

Also, outside the FSDT scenery areas, our module doesn't do anything at all so, if you are having problems outside our sceneries (they loading range is usually 8-12 nm around the airport), then you can be assured the problem doesn't have anything to do with our module.

Probably, with all addons, your system is under heavy load, and adding our sceneries might just crossed a boundary, when a bug in video drivers, or another problem (like overheating, for example) comes out, so you might be misled into thinking the problem was caused by our module.

About stuttering, if it happens ONLY within the area of our sceneries, there's a setting for this in the Addon Manager, and it's the Anti-popup setting: by increasing it, you are trading some fps for less stuttering.

But, if you are experiencing stutters also in areas outside our sceneries, than it's 100% sure the problem doesn't have anything to do with our software. I confirm, outside the airport range, the module doesn't do anything, except that checking your position (at a very low priority), in case you return in the scenery area.

ok im going to be clear again.

Inside this 12nm I get this: youtube link provided.
Without any fsdreamteam sceneries I never ever experience this even in the most demanding sceneries with the most demanding aircraft in the same setup in the same way I shot this.

I do not know why this happens and it is usually when maxing out the view but also happens inside the cockpit



additionally I play 3 other games which are very graphically demanding and I never experience any graphic issues with these games

That's clearly a video driver problem or something that is affecting the video card, nothing in the scenery can cause this.

I'm sorry that is arrogance you speak, I have NO issues with any of the addons I have including all of FTX sceneries, 24 aerosoft sceneries and your saying its my drivers? and not your scenery?

Your also then suggesting everyone with a GTX 400 series nvidia card has corrupt drivers? that is a very poor statement
