July 28, 201312 yr Well, yesterday, knowing abiut the bath weather all accross France and Germany, I decided to start a flight near De Gaulle... I am using OSM Europe + autogen, setting at "tons" and some cars on roads. No HDR, no traffic... While X-Plane 10 was loading I noticed my CPU fan increasing it's speed like never before. I switched on the ASUS monitor and saw it going to 69º, with the fan spinning madly. Eventually X-Plane 10 froze, and when I switched to windows there was a window asking if I wanted to send them the error report (probably to learn what not to do with FSX11 - yes, some believers are dreaming about it.... ). When X-Plane 10 reatarted I forced my graphics settings, started at Lisbon, and then lowered the settings to "normal". Moving to Paris region allowed the sim to load, and I was getting 40+fps, sometimes up to 100, when zooming my C172 looking skyward... As soon as I move the view down, in order to have the cityscape visible, fps get's down to 1 - 2 fps!!!! Whow, the sim barely moves... My graphics card is a Geeforce GTX 650 Ti with "only" 1GB GDDR5 :-/ I moved all of the OSM folders from Custom Scenery, but left the R2 and Europe libraries, so that the default X-Plane autogen looks better (are those libraries also used with it?). I might suggest that someone makes a flat urban scenery, for when we just want to practice IFR, etc... Photo scenery does it as well I believe. After all that's sort of what I got in ELITE, and I like it, although this are times of FTX Global, and people want even more :-/ Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
July 28, 201312 yr I noticed the same thing. Paris causes my system to crash with OSM Europe. All other ares are fine, but there is an amazing amount of buildings around Paris and My system can not handle it. Rob
July 28, 201312 yr For some reason France has generally very good OSM data, but that does mean the cities are crowded with autogen and will bring most systems to their knees. It does mean thought that the rural areas look beautiful and real. I love France in XP10 with osm, just try to stay out of the cities! i910900k, RTX 3090, 32GB DDR4 RAM, AW3423DW, Ruddy girt big mug of Yorkshire Tea
July 28, 201312 yr With my comp Paris only flyable when autogen at "default" setting, which is lowest thats not disabled. 1 Notch higher, at "a lot" setting its down to 5 fps If you feel that its too hard for your computer you can remove the specific area from the OSM scenery folder so in that region it shows x-plane default autogen. Personally i wont do it, if i'm gonna fly in the area i'll just quickly lower autogen to lowest and its still very crowded, but +40 fps.

I quickly turned off XPX thinking my CPU was about to melt. I wonder if it might of been a fan on the GPU, strange.... AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, RTX 4080S, Ram - 32GB, 32" 4K Monitor, WIN 11. Eric Escobar

July 28, 201312 yr I tried same thing got same result and decided OSM Probadly bad idea for France. Got landmarks like Effiel tower and downtown buildings off xpfr website for free and mix it r7 and Euro autogen and all take my 30 to 40 fps as acceptable.. Think France OSM is awesome just don't not have $700 dollars to buy gtx 780 to help out.
July 28, 201312 yr Hi all ! Inside the *.fac files for your Paris scenery, what's the value for the LOD ? If you ask X-Plane to display all the buildings 50 kilometers around you (even small huts), it will always go wrong in regions with dense OpenStreetMap data. Reduce the LOD (or ask the scenery author to reduce the LOD) and everything will work fine. I'm still using a Core 2 CPU with a 8800GT GPU and "only" 512Mb of VRAM. To keep my FPS high, I just use my own *.fac files with a reduced LOD. You just don't need to see buildings if they are more than 15 kilometers away: Happy flying. :smile: Georges - OpenStreetMap - Ubuntu GNU/Linux -
