Terrain pre-caching thread

Featured Replies

I had a flight from KMCO-KIAD and on approach into Flightbeam Dulles in the A320NX experimental and .......CTD.   I had my render setting on 100 because of the crazy night lights.  I had my pre caching on ultra.   Should pre caching be on high on approaches to custom airports like flightbeam airports?

I will do some more experimenting, but was curious of others discoveries with the new update.

Thanks in advance.

Worth a try yes -   but ntdlll.dll is part of the core kernel and "Event ID 1000" translates to "something is broken but we have no idea what".

Something crashed the kernel and did it too suddenly for windows to have time to identify the issue, so it really could be anything causing the CTD.

I rebooted my computer.

I checked that the Community folder was empty.

And I had another CDT.

The only thing is runnins is MSI Afterburner. I'm going to try it without this app.

But I'm puzzled! Yesterday I had four or five flights without incidence, but today is it impossible to fly.

Regards.  

Afterburner hmm why ? did you overclock your video card - you can fry your video card in a new York minutes and that will cause your CTD issues 

You might think its fine but when you push the video card you get a game crash - food for thought - how do I know been there done that 

Never ever overclock a video card - you gain about 1 fps for what a broken product - not saying you did but if you did theres your problem also make sure your power supply is still working 100%

You have to know what your doing - if you reinstall windows and sim and it does it again - its a hardware issues - good luck - keep us posted

Also to what Rich @Richard Sennett said, some video cards are factory overclocked and this can be a hidden source of instability.  In that case clocking the card to the spec level can sometimes work wonders.

No, yesterday he asked someone how they got their FPS counter in the lower right corner, and the answer was MSI Afterburner. He then asked how specifically to get the FPS counter showing, and he got an answer and he did it. 

I think it's a bit weird accusing someone of lying like that. "Tell me the truth"... really? You're talking to a grown up person. I'm sure he appreciates the advice, but please have some respect.

Especially pre overclocked cards should never be touched thats even worse 🙂 right on Rhett

Actually wonder why they even allow this to be done - just think how many cards were returned due to overclocking and nvidia took it in the arm 🙂

Im not accusing - just trying to help - relax brother - my post was more for others to beware really - I dont think he overclocked his video card

Well see - seems like a hardware issue to me - usually is

I removed that statement - was just trying to get a chuckle - to many up tights around here lately

just put it on ultra....giving advice to hack drivers is really poor in my opinion.

There is no slider for precaching terrain in VR, so .... config file editing works though!

I used to use afterburner to undervolt my RTX2060 but no real need to undervolt with the new RTX3070 so I uninstalled it .

I use afterburner to control the fan on my 3090, way better that the default fan profile. Afterburner is fine.
