AS,SkyForce and P3Dv4.1

Featured Replies

Hi All

I have a rig with a i5 3570K overclocked to 4.5GGz,GeForce GTX 970 4GB Graphics Card and 16 GB DDR3L 1866 UDIMM Memory

This runs AS and SkyForce very well -except if I use Active Weather setting  in AS

I get about a 5-8 minute flight -it all looks terrific-and P3D stops!

Frame rates are about 50+ 

Do I have to resign myself to not using Active Weather setting in AS , buy a better rig or is there anything else I could try?

Hi All 

Still looking for some advice

ReInstalled everything but now with Win10 as operating OS

Still the same problem-after5-10 mins P3Dv4 closes

Will have to stick to Rex Texture Direct and Soft Clouds-unless anyone has some other ideas

To me it seems the next step would be to get a new computer which is not unreasonable but would hate to spend all that loot and still have the same problem!

Did you follow the tutorial?

Hi Jim 

Thanks for replying 

Yes-did to the best of my ability!

On rereading the Tutorial I noticed that I had started Active Sky first,then SkyForce then Sim

Would this fault be enough to cause failure?

There are a few threads in the REX forums with people who have the same issue you’re describing.  If they shut down SkyForce from running in the back ground, they don’t have a CTD at all.

nothing has been confirmed by REX.  Just point out there are threads over there.

No that should not cause the failure as that is the order I use every time.

Reading the reply above from Devin, SF textures will be loading into sim. So you will get the same "look" even if you don't open SF. It might be a simconnect/.net error or something like that when SF is calling for a sync. Do what Devin surgests and don't open SF at all and see what happens. GL.

Hi All

Thanks for this reassuring advice 

Rex forums indeed do show some of the same problems I was experiencing 

Will try your tips and report back

Out of the country for 2weeks so I maybe some while!

I don' think its your spec. I have the same exact spec at 4.4ghz and don't see these issues with those add-ons. Running real weather as well.
