Certain Add Ons going black

Featured Replies

I have encountered a rather strange problem with my P3DV4. DD, Latinvfr and Flightbeam airports randomly go completely black after working fine for a day or two, sometimes three. The fix is to simply reinstall the affected add ons and it will be fine for a few days or so. The problem was much more often until I unticked "empty scenery cache on exit." I have an i7 quad core processor with a 1060 GTI 3gb. I have had this computer and the same add ons for years and now all of the sudden it is doing this. Anyone have any ideas what could be happening?

When you say going black, do you mean that after the airport goes out of view and then comes back into view, the textures are missing and everything appears black for a while until the textures reload?

If that is it then under the [GRAPHICS] heading in Prepar3D.cfg find:
MAX_TEXTURE_REQUEST_DISTANCE=1000.000000

and change the value to 320000.000000 so it reads

MAX_TEXTURE_REQUEST_DISTANCE=320000.000000

It it affects you performance just reduce the value by 10000 until performance is restored.

Make a backup of your Prepar3D.cfg to your desktop so you can restore it in case you screw it up. 😁
