Star Alliance

Thanks for the reply, guys! Yes, thats correct. I did fly from KIAD as UAE232 and everything was and is smooth as silk, when I took the picture I had FPS @ 28 and no performance problems. Tough this only happens on arrival.

As you can see, the terminals are gone - and this is the third attempt with three different type of settings.

Does this really matters when it comes to memory use and such? I used to go 8xS on the AA, 2x SS and 16 on the AF, but if it will help reduce the cases of buildings not loading and all that after flying the 777, I would gladly put down the settings a notch? Anyone tried it?

It's kinda "wrong" in one way to turn your simulator up-side-down to make an aircraft work without OOM. I know it's not entirely PMDG's fault, but they did build a perfect fit, 100% working NGX which can be flown into most areas without crash. I have not recieved any OOM's in the crash matters with the 777, but its no fun at all to fly into airports which misses alot of buildings and stuff after 8-10 hours. Too bad there arent a buttom to push which makes the 777 just a little lighter on the VAS.

DXB-SFO (No terminals on arrival) JFK-DXB (No main terminals on arrival) VIE-OSL (Missing runway markings on arrival) .. now, back to the NGX.

The framerates are great, but even tough if I fly a 1hr LEG or a 14hr LEG, there is always something strange happening to the destination airport. Now, flying to a default airport - just to test, the runway markings were gone. (Restart FS, and the markings are back) Is this plane really THAT hard on the memory?

Yes, all the tips in the manual have been tested.

Guys, I have tried two ultra longhauls now, DXB-SFO and JFK-DXB - on both occasions the terminals were gone upon arrival. The first flight i could imagine it was the FlightBeam AddonManager causing it, but this morning when I was landing in DXB everything seemed fine until I was off the runway, the gates was there and all other buildings was fine but the main terminals was not showing. The framerates was 30+ and no lags, and this has never happend before with other planes. My specs. are in my sig. and should be enough to cover the 777.

Thanks for the feedback, I have FSX installed on an SSD disk so I think that matter is fine. I just find it weird that this only happens with OPUS and 777 together. And I never fly in accelerated mode, only 1x. I will anyhow try your latest BETA and hope for the best.

Hi! Just out of curiosity, I've been flying the PMDG 772L some flights lately, I've discovered that even tough my FPS are 30+ in most cases I do have some 2-3 sec. lags when using OPUS. I tried OPUS with the NGX and I did not notice any lag there and also flying the 777 not using real weather the small stut's was gone. Is it some settings in OPUS that may cause this? (GRIB's or something?) Strange I never saw this flying the NGX. And it mainly happens during ground operations and taxi..

I just finished OMDB-KSFO in the 77L, 14h43min - enroute was fine, but @ SFO all the buildings were gone - this might be a memory problem but it also may be the Addon Manager used by FlightB.

So the 777 are more sensitive for the "minimal" of programs I have in the back, which I need to network and Win7 reasons, than ex. the NGX? (Which btw gives me no stutters at all) As I said earlier, my FSX runs stable on 40fps almost all over, and this is not a performance problem.

Wish it was that simple. FSUIPC Autosave is turned off, always have been - and do I have to configure SimConnect.cfg just for the PMDG 777? I haven't ever touched that file.

I only have this on the 77LR, no other addon what so ever. It runs smooth @ 40fps, but it still has these hickups.

I know there are similar threads in this forum and the easy answer is hardware, well it's not. I have this small issue on the 777, and only the 777. Currently enroute from Amsterdam to New York I have had, since the startup some hicks similar to the one shown in one of the BETA videos, where FSUIPC did some datasave, I dont have this enabled, but I still have this lockup for some seconds, and I hate that to happend on final approach. Specs are in my sig. and everything else works fine.
