December 30, 200916 yr I was doing a long haul polar crossing VHHH-KORD, after crossing about 84 degrees N lat, FS started to reload the scenery about once every 15 minutes to 30 minutes. It did this for the next few hours until I was around 300 miles out of KORD and then it stopped. Has anyone seen this before and is there a fix? I did the opposite leg a few weeks ago KORD-VHHH using the same route and did not experience this constant reloading of scenery. Thnx for any help!!
December 30, 200916 yr Most likely the cause was that you were flying against the sun. At that latitude you are also crossing time zones fairly quickly. Going KORD-VHHH you are chasing the sun. VHHH-KORD the sun angle will change dramatically Day-> Night, KORD-VHHH the angle will change minimally.Roman FS RTWR SHRS F-111 JoinFS Little Navmap
