Hi guys,

 

Please see this youtube video of the texture problems I'm getting at UK2000 EGPH after installing GenX Scotland South VFR Scenery

 

 

Also getting "delayed" textures flying at low level across Edinburgh....the textures are not as sharp as other screenshots I have seen of the same scenery posted by other users; also sometimes I have already flown directly over a section of land and once its behind me it will slightly shapren up.

 

It's as though it struggles to render patches of the area that I'm currently flying through, as I look around most of the textures will be sharp but there will be blurry areas which will suddenly snap into focus as I fly over or have already passed them?!?

 

 

System specs:

 

i7 950 @ 3.8 Ghz

6gb 1600mhz ram

gtx 580

 

fsx installed on ssd

GenX scenery installed on seperate 7200rpm sata HDD

 

LOD radius is currently set to 5.500000

 

I have also been running MSI Afterburner whilst fsx is running; it shows that Vram usage never exceeds 400mb???

 

FSX only seems to use a max of 400mb of my gfx cards 1.5Gb ram?

 

any help much appreciated guys

 

Cheers

Make sure not to set the lod radius not beyond the max FSX setting of 4.500000.

Further you could add MipBias=6 under display settings in the FSX cfg ;-)

 

Remember photo scenery will fill up the graphic bus faster as normal default textures so you have to back down some settings.

 

Cheers,

Thanks for that awf;

 

tried both of those changes but still getting random patches of "slow rendering" photoscenery everywhere i fly

MESH_COMPLEXITY=100 to for example 80

 

Are U using a 3d party AI program or default?

 

AirlineDensity=34 for test 0

FreewayDensity=20 back this one down to 6 or 0 to test ;-) FSX has a bug in the car traffic department lol

GADensity=33 for test 0

 

try with this one...

Tried it all still no difference...I'm puzzled!?!?!

Rename FSX cfg file to fsx.backup and rebuild via FSX test to go to the basis

Did you do a defrag after install of the photo scenery?

 

Set UPPER_FRAMERATE_LIMIT=0 to 30

:(

In the configuration utility for the UK2000 airports there is normally a checkbox option for VFR Gen X scenery user. Is this checked? It looks like there's a conflict between the airports base image and the gen x photo scenery. Also make sure in the scenery library the airport is placed above gen x.

Thanks Tom, you put me on the right track.

 

I was using an older version of UK2000's EGPH, went and bought the latest version and airfield textures are now perfectly integrated with the GenX photo scenery.

 

Still getting the blurred and "slow loading" photoscenery textures everywhere though :(

Since I had the focus on loading textures and performance well you could do the following...

 

- Defrag

- build a new FSX cfg file only with the highmem tweak

- no traffic

- no weather just to go back to a starting point and start from there...

- what's your zoom factor in the VC?

 

- available disk space left?

- memory load when running FSX

- CPU load?

- GPU load?

- Overclocking?

- when you are at one spot (slew / y) how long does it takes when the textures become sharp?

- Default textures load ok?

 

Ps. did you using the experimental shader 3.0 instead of the default 2.0 because of this one in your cfg file "ALLOW_SHADER_30"

I would revert back to 2.0 ;-)

 

Those settings are asking for problems:

SWAP_WAIT_TIMEOUT=2

MAX_ASYNC_BATCHING_JOBS=3

 

Advise test with a clean FSX.cfg file and report back with scenery default and photo scenery.

What Scenery Complexity setting are you using, Gordon?

 

EDIT: Ah, I see that you have identified the cause of the initial problem. I had noticed that the Quality Hotel was not displayed in your video, which made me wonder if you were using the latest version. Are the "slow loading and blurry" textures only noticeable around Edinburgh Xtreme, or is this a general problem?

He was using 100 U can see that above ;-)

I was just puzzled by the fact that the Quality Hotel was not displayed. This was added in the final BETA version, so I do not understand why it wasn't there at an EXTREMELY DENSE setting......unless he was using the older version 2.

Notice that one to, but he should have no blurriness with his system specs ;-)

Christopher, the slow loading blurries are a general problem with the GenX photoscenery.

 

I'm currently installing one of the volumes onto the same SSD as FSX to rule out potential slow HDD transfer speeds (i doubt this is the problem but worth a try)
