Ok, so did that. Disabled the virus checker and UAC and reinstalled SODE but still same issue.

I'm running everything as admin. I now tried adding an anti-virus exclusion for all SODE folders. Still get the same issue. SODE doesn't even appear in the menu bar.

Hi I've done a complete reinstall of my PC and P3D. Now if I want to start GSX and connect the jetways I get the message "SODE is unavailable jetways will not animate." When I check the SODE platform manager it says that SODE isn't registered. I closed the sim, activated SODE then restarted P3D v5 and nope still same message. When I go back to the platform manager it says that the sim isn't registered. I have no idea what to do. Any ideas?

First of all thanks for your opinions. I think it’s quite helpful when someone tells his experience from upgrading hardware. But let’s talk about Scenery an Autogen for a moment because I think this is the most strenuous task for the CPU. What about your settings there. My aim is to have high to very high settings. Will a new CPU help me with that. My FPS are between 20-25 when I’m at an airport with the FSLabs and full weather etc.

I don‘t want to upgrade my GPU only my CPU. Right now, my 1080ti is at about 40% during a flight which is pretty low. I‘ll probably go for the i7 9700k and the ASUS ROG Strix Z390-F Gaming Mobo with new DDR4 RAM. No, I’m running 2k at the moment bc my monitor only has this resolution. Yes, normally I’m in that area as well. During cruise I even get ~40FPS but as soon as I approach any airport I have slow loading Autogen/Scenery/Night Lighting and between 15-20FPS.

Hi everyone I‘m considering upgrading my CPU because I‘m not happy with my performance anymore. I have an i7 4790k OC@4.7Ghz and an ASUS GTX1080ti. P3D is on a separate SSD. My settings are rather moderate. Autogen all sliders on medium to high settings. I’ve done a lot of research concerning performance in P3D and I think that my CPU just can’t handle things anymore. Core 0 is always at 100% while the other three range between 20-50% usage. Do you think it’s worth upgrading? I thought about an i7 9700k or maybe even an i9 9900k. Any comments about this?

Yep that worked. Thank you very much. I now even now which ad-on caused the problem. It was PTA (v2.66) which was causing the problem and not REX Enviroment Force like I anticipated. Thanks for the help

Hi everybody I was able to break my sim (again). My problem is that everything is black and white now except for the cockpit. The ground textures are completely black and the autogen is monochrome. For some reason the cirrus clouds are blue. What I've tried so far: Uninstalling & reinstalling REX Environment Force (Suspected it to be conflicting with PTA) Restoring the original shaders through PTA Repairing/Reinstalling the P3D client to get new HLSL shaders Doing a system restore to a point where the sim was working just fine All of the above didn't work. Now I'm pretty clueless. My specs: i7 4790k @ 4.7ghz GTX1080Ti 16Gb Ram 2133mhz Windows 10 64bit latest P3D version (v4.5) And here are some screenshots Thanks in advance 😄

I don't think so because Matt Davies also uses PTA and Tomatoshade.

Hi everybody I have a problem with the Aircraft reflection profiles of Tomatoshade. No matter what profile I install I get a black model. As my shaders were corrupted I reinstalled the client to get the default shaders. Then I applied my PTA preset followed by Tomatoshade. I only use Tomatoshade for the felections nothing else, so PTA and Tomatoshade shouldn't interfere with each other. Then I loaded all the models in the DynamicReflectionMaker. As soon as I start up the sim all aircraft are black. I have Dynamic Reflections turned on in the sim and URP is disabled. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

So I deleted the shaders and the .cfg. In addition I also reinstalled the graphics driver and from what I see now the problem is fixed . Thank you all 😊

Hi, I just updated from my GTX980 to a Asus GTX1080Ti OC but since the upgrade I only get problems with P3D. I didn't change any settings but I keep getting the DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG error. In addition to that I get terrible FPS at any airport, less than what I had with the GTX980. My specs are: i7 4790k at 4.7ghz GTX1080Ti OC 16 Gb RAM 2133mhz Any ideas what the problem might be? Cheers Alex

Hi Rob, Thanks for the tips. I'll try it out and wait for your video and then I'll report back here. Cheers, Alex

Hi, I started experiencing this issue that when let's say I start descending and approach the airport the autogen doesn't load in. I just see blank ground textures. Sometimes the autogen (buildings and trees) loads in behind the aircraft but that's very seldom. I tried lowering my settings to a minimum without success and I experimented with default, ORBX and Turbulent Design autogen trees but nothing really worked. I'm reather reluctant to reinstalling the whole sim becuase it takes me about 2 days to reinstall everything. Any idea how to fix this problem? Greetings Alex

Well thanks everybody for the suggestions and advices, I really appreciate the help. :)

Hi everybody, Due to some technical issues with the 777 and A320 I have no other choice to fly the 747. Now, I‘m looking for some nice and short routes around the world which are operated by a 747. I do like long hauls but I’d like to do multiple landings per day not only one. It doesn‘t matter if it‘s a PAX flight or a cargo flight, any suggestions would be appreciated. Currently I‘m only flying domestic routes in Japan but I‘d like to fly somewhere else for a change. Kind regards

Hey, First of all I wish yo a happy new year and all of luck. :smile: Now, my problem is that my sky textures look very weird. There are no smooth transitions between the colours. I don't know why this happens or what it causes. Could anyone help me ? Thanky you very much and have a nice weekend. (in the picture it does not look as bad as it actually is)

Hi everyone, I recently did some night flights around Europe and I noticed that my frames are really bad (ca. 15FPS). During the day I get 40 to 60 FPS. I don't know why I lose performance during the night. Does anyone know how to get better frames at night? My system: i7 4790k@4.7Ghz GTX980ti 16 GB RAM at 2133mhz Asus Maximus Vii Hero Have a nice weekend Greetings Alex

Ok, yesterday I uninstalled every program that I don't need. So I uninstalled the SDK and in AppCrashView the Stackhash changed from StackHash_7efd to Stackhash_9a52 and stackhash_651d. Does that mean that there are 2 more programs that don't work properly?

So, I reinstalled GSX but I still get CTD's. My question is now, if I reinstall my whole sim again will the crashes stop? Is it likely that the problem will solve itself?

I think it's not just couatl, because my sim is just crashing on online flights not offline. When I restart my PC and plug-out and then plug-in again my WLAN antenna, it works again.

Ok, I disabled EZDOK and went online to make a flight. After two minutes I had a CTD. Then I disabled Couatl and tried it again and was able to do the whole flight from ZRH to NCE without any issues. The problem is when I disable couatl I can't use GSX anymore. So should I reinstall it?

Just one question, if I delete the exe.xml and dll.xml file, will P3D rebuild one like the .cfg or is the sim then broken?

Well for P3D you also need a very good PC :wink:

I use Aerosoft's Zürich v2 and I really like it. First I also had FSDT but I switched to Aerosoft, because in my opinion the night textures are much better.
