September 22, 200916 yr Nothing to do with this Topic, but I just checked my Logins Notebook, and found I joined Avsim.com on the 3rd. August, 2003. Had 2/3 changes of Username along the way. Avsim.com my No.1 Website! For the last 3/4 weeks I've been 'suffering' with pauses/hang ups when loading Fs9, also when changing views from my JF B777 cockpit. This T7 is a PoskyJF PSS Merge. I'm using XP Home. I didn't have this problem before the Merge; but around that time I also had a fiddle with my Graphic Card 'innerds' - Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS.Could someone give me some idea as to where I should be investigating, please? Apart from the mirror :( Ken
September 22, 200916 yr Really not enough info there. Do these 'hangups' happen with all aircraft or just the merged one? Is it more of a stutter or a hang up? - Red E8500 @ 4.1 | EVGA 275GTX (overclocked) | 2x2GB Mushkin Enhanced Redline @ 1066 | Samsung 24inch LCD @ 1920x1080 |
September 22, 200916 yr Really not enough info there. Do these 'hangups' happen with all aircraft or just the merged one? Is it more of a stutter or a hang up?Hi Red, it does happen to all aircraft including the default Cessna 172, though just a second or two. The larger T7 'hangs' about 6 - 10 seconds, strangely only the tail section, about 20 per cent of the fuz?It is definitely a hang up. I also tried increasing the Frame Rates from 25 to 35; kidding myself it was better :( Ken

Fragmentation, especially in systems with 1-2GB of RAM can cause this as the heads have to hop all over the platter to load texture files.RegardsBob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
September 23, 200916 yr I'm trying to decide what "hanging" -- and also what "fidding" with your graphic card's "innerds" means. Perhaps an overclock?A real shot in the dark hear, but if you did overclock, what you're experiencing may be graphic anomolies caused by:A) Instability due to too much overclocking:( " " " " " " heat. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules

If that is not the case, would you explain how it is done?Off Topic, were you ever Stationed at Lakenheath UK?Ken

September 23, 200916 yr Hello Zach, I don't do Overclock, having been bitten 2 PC's ago! :( By 'hang' I mean slow to load, particularly the POSKY B777 aircraft textures.KenHelloThose Posky 777s come with thirty two bit textures.If your setup is getting a little long in the tooth(as is mine)then you will experience lagging as textures are drawn in.I always convert to DXT3 this speeds the process up.cheers Andy

September 24, 200916 yr Thank Andy, I've just D/L the DXT3 file, so I'll give it a go.KenKen go to the display settings and look for an option "render to texture". If the box is ticked then uncheck it. I had exactly the same problem but with different a/craft from you and some add-on airport sceneries and this virtually cured it - certainly took it down from what seemed at times to be 30 secs or more to about 1 sec.Iain Smith

I also tried reducing Trilinear to Bilinear, same deal :(I still think it's down to the Posky Textures, I have this DXT file but for my 'thick' head I can't see how it works. I've also d/l the latest Update for my Nvidia Card, I'll install that tomorrow, see if that makes a difference.Thanks for trying to help,Ken
