Does THIS happen to you in V5?

Featured Replies

In most flights that I make with P3D V5, I can always count on THIS happening.  THIS is the complete elimination of plane textures during a flight.  I like to frequently move from VC to SPOT view and on to as many views as I choose.  When I move to SPOT view, often there are totally missing plane textures.  Instead, the plane is shiny silver and devoid of paint.  If I leave it there, it will often come back to life and all is OK.  However, sometimes this paint removal is a portent of things to come.  What comes sometimes is an avalanche of performance deterioration.  The stutters start and it becomes impossible to switch views.  Everything is in slow motion, and either I recover by getting into OPTIONS and changing something, or the sim is so unstable that I have to do a Control/Alt/Delete to get to Task Manager and end the session.

This never happens in V4.5 and only in V5.  Sometimes there are totally successful flights that come to the desired end.  But the vast majority of the flights produce these performance anomalies that puzzle me.

Believe me, I have tried every combination of settings in the sim, and every brand new video driver ( I just downloaded a new one yesterday).  

Do you experience this in V5?  If so, how do you combat it?

I think everybody has the slow loading textures to a degree.  Sometimes I just go to another view and back, and that usually resolves it.  I've seen your posts about the deterioration problem you have.  That I haven't found to be a problem on my end.

Have you looked at your VRAM usage while this is going on?  It sounds like you're getting close to the edge.

I see some delay in loading external textures if I've been out of the exterior view a while...but never see it stay that way for more than maybe a second or two.  I've got an 11GB GPU and do not use EA at present.

2080Ti, V5hf2, only notice texture problems when cycling through ai aircraft too fast, otherwise all good.

It happens when I switch from cockpit to spot view and then back again. It happens more often when I'm in a PMDG a/c over demanding areas and need a few seconds until all cockpit textures get fully loaded again.

Try TextureMaxLoad=6

Same  re-cycling; only if I over-do it.  v5 with a 2080 ti never really happens anymore...

Yes.  This will be the LAST time I complain about this deterioration.  It seems to be unique to me and perhaps its in my system somehow.  I'm using an NVidia 1080ti 11gb. card.  I keep playing with the settings.  I just used DDU to clean my last driver install, and I'll see if that helps more than using Nvidia's removal tool.

Exactly, only when using PMDG for me. Happened today, I have a 1080Ti  11 gb VRAM, so no issues so far. I have also mapped <SHIFT “T”> to “Refresh Textures”. I use it on my initial Outside View and subsequently the textures seem to load quicker after that. Just my observation.

What exactly does this TextureMaxLoad do?  And why 6.  The default in my config is 3.

 

Stan

Loads textures faster. Six is a good place to start (default is 3) as this can cause stutters.
