Hi Guys, as in the title, I have been hit by huge loading times suddenly, and cannot figure out why. It happens using TileProxy or normal scenery ( my set up for these is different, I use 4.5 lod rad for tileProxy and 8.5 for normal scenery) Bear in mind that neither of these figures has given me any problems loading in the past, my usual spin up time is around 2 minutes. The percentage that seems to be causing the issue is from 30 -40%, once past there, its pretty ok. Does anyone know what loads in that section of the process?Its not to do with the size of any scenery either, as i have used 100gb scenery folders for an entire country no problem in the past. Even with no scenery loaded except for tileproxy, it still takes around 45 minutes to load a flight. So it must be something that loads wether you use tileproxy or standard scenery. Can anyone help? Thanks, Mark

Have you changed your fiber_fraction setting or affinity mask?

Lots of photoscenery files can cause that, especially at higher LOD Radius settings. Before the newest GEX USA came out, I had over 160 GB of western USA photoscenery activated in the Scenery Library. It took forever to load...excess of 10 minutes on an over-clocked i7. Since I disabled all the photoscenery, my total load time now is less than 30 seconds for a flight in the western USA.If you have a large cache of TileProxy photoscenery files, you might be running into the same problem. Try disabling your TileProxy folder and see if anything changes. If that fixes it, you may need to clean out the cache of files you have accumulated with TileProxy.Or it my be something else. The above is just something you can try.

Try forcing a rebuild of the scenery indexes, usually works for me. A defrag beforehand would help also.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, i will have a tinker tonight and report back, Cheers, Mark

Hello!How can we do a rebuild of the scenery indexes? :( Thanks!

Same here. Disabled photoscenery and it sped it up quite a bit plus I found that if you uncheck "Show all Variations" of your aircraft, it will speed it up considerably too.Best regards,Jim

This happened to me when I was downloading addon scenery for fsx. One of them was a fs9 scenery that the author updated to fsx. Maybe something about older scenery that takes the game longer to read?

I just made some scenery from TileProxy, which uses the "old" system of bitmaps in a texture folders, instead of .bgl files in the scenery folder. There are a lot of individual tiles, but the file was bigger before and I never had this problem - I have had versions of the scenery working fine for a few weeks, but obviously something has changed.... Last night, with nothing checked in my scenery library except for my meshes, and a fresh .cfg file, generated after renaming my old one, TileProxy took 3 minutes to load. I just checked my New Alps scenery folder in the library, and the load time jumped to 20 minutes, so there must be something it does not like in there, that was not there before... Out of interest, how would you go about changing the old .bmp type scenery over to .bgl scenery? Cheers, Mark

Mark, you want to look at the Terrain SDK:--->FSX-SDK/Environment Kit/Terrain SDKPaul

Hi Guys, i think i found the culprit, it was having my FTX scenery enabled, using the FTX central desktop widget. Once this was saying default FSX, it all returned to normal. So thanks for all the ideas, I did rebuild the scenry .cfg file as well, so maybe that helped as well, thanks again, cheers, Mark
