PMDG 777 Display only skeleton problem

Featured Replies

Dear All:

 

Happy new year!

 

I encounter some display problem every time I load up my PMDG 777

 

The picture below show the problem, only skeleton were show every time I load 777.

 

And After several minute, the screen went black, but I still can hear the sound different when I change my view from virtual cockpit to outside view, so it look like it still working but not display anything.

 

Dose anyone here encounter same problem and have resolutions?

 

Thanks!post-147949-0-84647900-1388579744.jpgpost-147949-0-12848500-1388579795.jpgpost-147949-0-03642900-1388579812.jpg

 

Make sure HIGHMEMFIX=1 is in your [Graphics] section of your FSX.cfg file

Hi Jude

I add HIGHMEMFIX=1 into graphic and it help for skeleton problem!

 

But when I switch window to desk top and back to FSX, the screen went into black, but the aircraft sound still change with my engine control.

 

Is there any solution to this?

 

I think it is something associated with diplay, black screen but can control the airplane.

Try reinstalling Dx9 again.

Running in DX 9 mode, never use desktop mode or switch to windowed or such modes, it will almost certainly crash FSX.

What's the path to the fsx config? Sorry, can't remember. Thanks,

Dave

%appdata% (<-- enter this into the adress line of a window in Windows) - you'll end up in Application Data\Roaming folder... from there I believe it's either FSX folder or Microsoft\FSX

Hi Robert,

 

Looking at one of the pics in an external view, it's showing 11.9 fps! You have some serious changes to make me thinks! Can you reply with your system specs and your FSX settings... cheers...

Hi Rockliffe

 

My spec. are i5-4670K with no overclock, ASUS GTX660TI, 8Gb of Ram and 1000Gb hardrive.

 

I set all the slider to right, so FPS will a little bit low.

 

Glad to hear your thought

 

cheers!

Seems like something is wrong with your Win7 or FSX install or drivers or whatever. I never have this problem!

Hi Robert,

 

You have a little homework to do my friend.  There are links on the top right hand side of the forum page under "HOT SPOTS."

 

rarrow.gif FS9. FSX & P3D CTD Guide

rarrow.gif FSX / P3D Configuration Guide

rarrow.gif FSX SW & HW Guide

 

For your sim to run smooth you must add important FSX.cfg edits and with the PMDG 777 I run with frames unlimited in order to get the best out of it.

Like Rob, says, things look rather odd! Does this problem only occur with the 777, or does it happen to a lesser degree with other aircraft? If so, then we should look elsewhere, if it's only with this aircraft then it could be a corrupt install, or something else going on...

 

BTW IMO, there is something else going on other than just not having the right cfg tweaks. Firstly I suggest you let us know whether this is pertinent just to the 777 or not, then we can move forward from there...

 

BTW, have you installed a GPU driver recently?

Hi

 

Very thanks for help firstly!

 

This happen only in PMDG 777, other aircraft happen very seldom.

 

And every time I fly for long hour like Paris to St.Maarten etc, I will very scare if any download finish pop up or anti viral message pop up, this will bring me out of FSX back to the desk top, and after I want to bring the window back to FSX, it came into totally black screen.

But I still can hear the engine sound change with my different input of throttle and change of view.

 

It is very odd I think.
