OpenGL fallback

[Mike44 22]

HI

how to avoid the OpenGL fallback? I've updated the Nvidia (rtx2080) on Win10 driver and downloaded a fresh X-Plane 11.52 copy. It worked hurray but only until I changed some settings (forgot what it was). 

Now again XP falls back to OpenGL every 4th or so start. I've reported the bug but got no response.

Any tips? I think it's retarded to fallback without mentioning why.

Download latest driver from nvidia and do a clean install, Dont rely on MS to do it properly.

Nvidia drivers

I always download the simple driver  (no studio or whatever) and install manually from:

https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx

I suspect xp checks for newer drivers upon each start and if a newer is available, it falls back to opengl. 🤢

fallback happens when somethings breaks in vulkan.

biggest src of those is planes/sasl that use the opengl hooks.

No, I've just tried the default Baron and exactly on the 4th start it said "cannot use Vulkan driver". No hints why!

Are you swapping aircraft in sim or loading the sim each time?

Current build of XP really doesn't like reload aircraft or loading one aircraft after another without a restart.

No for testing simply loading the Baron without scenery. Close xp and start xp again. Falls back on 4th.
