Hi everyone!
I've been flying the NGX for as long as it's been out, and I really love it. Thanks for all the great work put in it!
During all this time, I have experienced the following behaviour during most of my sim sessions:
I usually fly multiple legs directly after eachother, with real turn-arounds etc., without stopping or reloading the sim - just like the real crews do. (I hate reloading it, because this reloads Ultimate Traffic 2, too, and I don't want that).
On most occasions, when I'm climbing out after the second, third or fourth. take-off, I experience multiple freezes. They usually start shortly after take-off, occur about every 20-30 seconds and last 5-20 seconds each. Passing about 14'000ft it's all back to normal. Of course they're a pain, because I love flying the SIDs manually and they make it very annoying to do so and work the after take-off flows, too.
Is this problem known and is there a solution? If not, here are some more facts:
- It only happens with the NGX. I've never experienced it with other addons (I don't own any other PMDG ones, but I often fly the Majestic Dash or the Aerosoft Twin Otter on up to 10 legs per session).
- It happens in the VC view as well as outside
- It *never* happens during the first climbout of the session.
- It occurs during about 80% of the subsequent climbouts
- I use hardly any scenery addons, so it's not them. It happened on isolated (standard FSX) islands in the middle of nowhere, too. I do use Ultimate Traffic, but it has on many occasions happened at airports with no traffic around. Nothing happens on the descent/approach into these airports either.
- I just changed the weather engine from ASX to FS Global Real Weather and it didn't have an influence on the problem.
- It's not caused by any complex SIDs. I had it happen on very simple SIDs or even at airports that don't have any.
- Framerates are unlimited, and I'm usually having around 20-30fps, so normally my PC handles FSX and the NGX very well.
- I usually don't have any FIXes or arches loaded in the FMC, so it's not that problem either.
Does anyone have any ideas? What is different between the first climbout of the day and the subsequent ones?
Any inputs are welcome! I have of course used the search function, read through several freeze/fps threads but didn't find any covering my specific problem...
Thanks a lot for your help.
Tis (flying East Midlands - Skiathos - Kavala - East Midlands right now, and it happened on both intermediate take-offs)
