Continual Scenery rebuild

Featured Replies

Every time I start P3D the Scenery Indexes are rebuilt.  This causes GSX to regenerate its airport cache every time.  It's a pain having to sit and wait sometimes up to 5mins before you can change location or aircraft.

 

Is there anything in P3D I can do to stop the rebuild every time?

I do not have GSX installed and P3D2 still builds indexes on all starts!

Yup, me too.  I have ORBX TX Global installed, plus various sceneries (FSDT, others ported from FSX)....does a rebuild at every start.

It lasts only some seconds so it doesn't bother me. A SSD drive is the reason for the quick start of P3D v.2.1.

The scenery indexes should not be rebuilding every time you start up P3D. I have it happening too and it was happening on day 1 after my initial install. I tried deleting the facilities/scenery indexes and letting them rebuild but no joy. Like others have stated though, it happens quickly and does not seem to be slowing down the startup.

hello ,in P3d v2 scenery Library there is a box at the bottom center  called something like  "Empty scenery cache"have you tried un ticking this box seemed to speed up loading to me

I asked LM about this in their forum a long time ago. They told me it was normal and didn't offer any resolution. Of course, it's not really a problem, just a 1 or 2 second annoyance.
