Ladies and gentlemen!As you may have noticed, the brilliant Mega Airport Munich by Aerosoft/GAP had some memory problems.Now update 1.02 is out (~190 MB). It is meant to correct that problem, e.g. via replacing some textures.Change log:- performance update - textures will load faster now and won't use as much RAM as before- now you can see the airport earlier when at the approach- some small buildings have been addedSo, if you're interested, go to Aerosoft's Updates section, download and install it.http://aerosoft-shop...php?language=enHappy landings! :(

Thanks for the update! I really like that first point, about better performance.

How weird fs9 can be! I've been reading the whole thread over at AS forum, and eventually posted about other issues, but I never encountered any performance problems with Münich.From the day it was released, it runs smoother than any other similar hubs on my rig. The only issue I had was the crashy bridges, and the aircraft's shadows 'falling' in the holes of the fake terrain modelled for the bridges.Glad that you guys have it sorted though, Aerosoft had been more efficient with Münich than with some other recent releases. Do you guys happen to have OrlyX as well? I lost my temper with the developper over their forum, because we're several people having major performance issue with Orly, and the only support we got so far was that we were asked to post screenshots to prove that our frame rate was low. I threw the line.

Neither did I. For me one of the smoothest mega airports ever. But it was until I installed version 1.01. which caused some trouble for some (only) simmers (yes, weird).But even after 1.01 I still had very high FPS. What changed was the VM use growth and visible longer texture load times.And as for different approach to different sceneries made by Aerosoft: we must remeber they are made by different teams.From my experience and knowledge I can say the German Airport Team (responsible also for Munich) is the most professional and fastest of them all.Some others (don't want to point, everyone interested knows the titles) are not that good.:(

Thanks for the heads up. It's an awesome scenery but the texture load problem has been a issue for me, especially when rolling on the runways. Wish Aerosoft (and other companies) would use the news section in AVSIM to tell us about updates being available. It would be free advertising for them as well as a convenience for their customers. Anyway, thanks Rafal

Thanks for posting this....Interesting to read some comments above about shaky quality.It's a risk Aerosoft takes when they attach their name to a developer.But it cuts two ways: I used to buy Aerosoft products as a trusted brand, sight unseen, because they could be counted on to set a high standard.Having had a very poor response on the last purchase, with what I thought was a legitimate gripe, I will wait for all the bugs to crawl out of the woodwork before buying again.Munich sounds great, but are there still issues not addressed?

TY for the HU Rafal....

Munich's performance has never been really stellar on my machine, but then again, it's a mega airport. Granted, I didn't test it with many aircraft yet because I've been too busy testing the PMDG 747 (suddenly FS2004 always crashes when I use that plane at Aerosoft EHAM, while it used to work just fine). I only used the Wilco Airbus there, and had around 17-20FPS. I expected more, to be honest, after hearing the stories of great performance... the PMDG 747 always gave me 23FPS at EHAM (before the sim crashes, that is).

Benjamin,About the sudden crash at EHAM: I experience sometime those sudden CTDs for no obvious reason(often different DLLs implied in the CTD), at some specific scenery, the latest was at Overland's Narita. Here is a trick that works for me which I found myself and that I find pretty miraculous: just move the scenery that causes crash in the library up or down (along with its landclass folder if it's got one), save, quit, restart and try again. It has always worked for me, dont ask me why, I dont know, but it works. I had this issue with As Schipol after I installed the Frankfurt update. I was going nuts, then I changed the EDDF scenery layer and it solved the CTDs.In my case it isnt however linked with ANY aircraft, not one specific aircraft. If you get crashes only with the PMDG 744, then perhaps it has to do something with a recent navdata update, or some faulty SID/STAR you installed?

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it out! But you raise an interesting point: I have not touched the PMDG 747 at all during the last few weeks, plus it only crashes at EHAM. I also tested it at LLBG, and there was no problem there (probably because the traffic and scenery is much less dense). I will have to do some more tests, but I fear I might end up not being able to fly to and from EHAm with the PMDG 747. I have also tested the iFly 737 and PSS/POSKY 777 and none of them crashed the sim at EHAM.

Of course it is a possible scenario. But from my personal experience I can say it is possible to have problems with one, and particularly this one addon aircraft.Before I apllied the 3GB swtich I was getting frequent OOMs. They were happening almost exclusively with PMDG 744 and MD-11. After the patch - no more. I can fly them as much as I want now.The fact that it happens at EHAM, EDDF, LFPG or EGLL may very probably be due to their size and the cumulative amount of virtual memory used. PMDG 744 does use a lot of it.Faulty SIDs and STARs might cause trouble but, in my opnion, the PMDG ones are very good. Anyway it's always good to have a look at Navigraph's forum and maybe even report the problem.

I have also tested the iFly 737 and PSS/POSKY 777 and none of them crashed the sim at EHAM.

Well in that case it is very unlikely that my trick will work. In my case of sudden CTD at one location, any aircraft was causing crash, defaut, Carenado and of course PMDGs. Try then silly things like changing ZFW and fuel from the load manager, perhaps something got corrupt in the acft.cfg during all the time you havent used the Queen. Also try to delete any saved panel if you use them, I personnaly never use any saved panels and never got any issue with the 744.

Well, that will teach me to "speak too soon." Aerosoft did use the AVSIM news section to announce it! :( Unfortunately I spoke too soon about the texture load problem when rolling on the runways. The rest of the scenery runs remarkably smoothly on my very modest 6 year old system. But every time I am taking off or landing and I pass over the touchdown area with lots of rubber tire marks, I get a significant stutter. It's not a deal-breaker - this is an amazing scenery and runs unbelievably well on my system considering its complexity.

Interesting. I'll have a look at it on my install and see whether I can recreate the same problem.

kiwiflyer45,

I have tried both takeoff and landing on both 08 and 26 and I haven't noticed any stutter on my update.Sorry to say that on the one hand but on the other - looks like the scenery is OK now and you may find this small culprit on your side.Good luck and happy flying!
