February 13, 20188 yr I did clean install windows and download latest nvidia drivers and fresh copy of v4.2 . but the only thing I see is a black screen for 30 seconds then it runs perfectly normal.

February 15, 20188 yr If you are running Windows you can open Task Manager, go to the Performance tab, then on the bottom select Open Resource Monitor. Then start P3D. If you know what to look for (how to use it) it will show you what is happening while your screen is black before you see the P3D logo. Jay's 15 seconds is about what I get now too, and I have a high-end system. Nothing "bad" is happening. It's just the way P3D starts depending on your own computer setup. Rick Ryan
February 15, 20188 yr Guys the black screen is the shaders initializing, they will get shorter and shorter or disappear altogether as you do more flights

February 15, 20188 yr Is this a black screen upon loading a scenario? I have the same for around 10 seconds. I asked Lockheed and they said it could be shaders loading. I just didn't notice this with any previous version so assumed it was an issue.
February 15, 20188 yr I wondered this too but makes sense. Are we really complaining about 20 seconds....lol Jason Weaver - WestWind Airlines; FlyUK Airlines; VirtualUnited.org

February 16, 20188 yr I noticed it too and was worried that I messed up something, but if it's the new "normal" then at least I can relax and have another sip of coffee while it loads. :D My PC: I7-7700K 4.9 Ghz (OC), ASUS MAXIMUS IX HERO, 32GB DDR4-3200 RAM, EVGA GTX 1080Ti, EVGA 850 G3 Gold power supply, C:=1TB WD Black D:=1TB M.2 Samsung 960 Pro, Windows 10 Pro, Prepar3D v4, AFS2, Tons of Orbx 🙂 https://www.flickr.com/photos/buffy-foster/ || https://buffyfostersblog.wordpress.com/
