Scenery question-Something's got to be wrong

[JNS 106]

Well ,all, I have an image of my SSD that has only Windows 7 and a virgin install of P3Dv3 on it.  But, first, I will try HT "on" and the AM=85 and see what happens.  My current FFTF is at .01.  I will try .5 as you suggested, Richard. BTW, No, I have no plans on touching the 980Ti.  My CPU is a 3770K @ 4.4GHz..  I'm really beginning to think I may have a bad install of FTX Global.  I have turned down Scenery Complexity and Autogen with no appreciable difference.  If the HT and AM  don't help then I think I will just load the image and start over.  At this point I can't even remember what default looks like.  I did try another airport, Kansas City, but no real change.

 

Thanks to you all.  Any more suggestions are always welcome.

Good luck my friend - just something else to mention you did run FTX Central - global should be pretty straight forward - doubt thats causing any issues - sounds like you have a good plan - bet it will be better and nice you have an image - well done let us know how you make out with the new plan  :smile:

Thanks for the help, Richard and others.  I'll be posting again tomorrow and let everyone know what's happening with my problem.

Well, Richard and everyone else, I feel pretty stupid, but relieved, right now.  I decided to check my Scenery settings one MORE time.  I've looked at these quite a few times, but must've been with tunnelvision.  My Texture Resolution was set at 10M instead of 7CM.  Don't know how or when that happened, but anyway, now everything looks beautiful.

 

Very sorry for wasting everyone's time on this.

 

Thanks again,

Jeff

It's never a waste of time. I wouldn't feel bad, the two biggest source of "bugs" are  pilot error either with changing settings in the sim's UI or in manually editing cfg or other configuration files with a text editor. I don't how many posts I've seen where somebody was on a hopeless quest to fix a problem and then it turned out that dll.xml had a crazy typo in it. Or just look at the official MyTraffic message board. There are numerous posts about "not seeing traffic" , but that always turns out to be either a goofy typo in simobjects.cfg or something else equally silly.

 

I've done this kind of thing myself and I have never applied Occam's Razor to find the solution. I always end up spending time calling a horse a zebra.

Awesome Jeff we have all done it and glad its sorted out - it will get a bit better after the sim settles in

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Jay.  Now I can move on to the next disaster-in-waiting.  LOL
