Thanks for the reply! The Lear is the only FSW aircraft I own. I also don't own the GTN 750 if that makes any difference. I am using P3D V4.5 hotfix 1 (haven't gotten to updating to hotfix 2)

I hope this is the right spot to report this! When switching from COM to VLOC in the default GNS 530, the knob and button seem to have missing textures. It only happens when the VLOC frequency is selected and looks totally normal while COM is selected. I've had the issue ever since version 4.2f and kept forgetting to report it. I skimmed through the forum and didn't see anything similar so I thought I'd create a new thread. See images in Imgur upload below! https://imgur.com/a/6xV8pKa

Found the fault. In the dll.xml, an entry for the REX WX advantage radar was causing issues. Uninstalled it and reset the file and it fixed it. Thanks again for the help!

My system is currently not overclocked in any way. I may be running XMP mode for RAM but not 100% sure on that. The only new scenery I have installed since the issue is the new LatinVFR New Orleans and never really tested to see if it worked in 4.4 before updating. There might be some updates that I didn't receive for it so I will check that. I resolved my BSOD but I guess there could still be some corrupted files from it. I did run the system file checker like the guide said and it did replace some files. Still wouldn't load after that. I will try some other potential fixes listed and report back if it either works or does not. Thanks for the reply both of you! 😄

I moved my shaders folder, P3D.cfg, and a few other config folders to my desktop to let them regenerate from scratch and still nothing.

Haven't flown in a while and decided to update from 4.4. After installing all the updates and starting it up, I get the ntdll.dll crash upon start up. Doesn't even get to the main menu. Just closes after a minute or two of loading. I tried the fixes from the CTD guide for ntdll.dll and still nothing. Before, I had a blue screen while updating my Nvidia drivers and Geforce Experience wouldn't open (completely different from P3D). I manually updated the drivers and that fixed that issue but did not solve my P3D crashing issue. I tried reinstalling Active Sky, searched for updates to REX Sky Force, and uninstalled the VRS Superbug after I had issues in the past and still nothing. Can't really think of anything else that would be faulting but I do have a lot of add ons installed. Heres the log in the Event Viewer: Faulting application name: Prepar3D.exe, version: 4.5.12.30293, time stamp: 0x5cd47aad Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.18362.267, time stamp: 0xc00f8a30 Exception code: 0xc0000374 Fault offset: 0x00000000000f9269 Faulting process id: 0x654 Faulting application start time: 0x01d55ac35e1dd93e Faulting application path: S:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Prepar3D.exe Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll Report Id: b0cad200-8366-4205-b85d-a13f2c4d3423 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: Thanks for the help

Thank you all for my help with my issues. I think I have found my sweet spot after hours of testing. I went ahead and disabled Hyper Threading which right off the bat gave a performance boost as well as a decrease in the time it took for the terrain to load while flying over. I decided that with HT off, it wouldn't be beneficial to use AM so I deleted that code from my cfg even after testing 30 or 60 for a 6 core HT disabled CPU. I also changed my FFTF from .33 to .45 which helped some as well. In my Nvidia control panel and in Nvidia Inspector, I enabled adaptive V-Sync which helped with less stuttering. Once again, thank you all for your help!! :smile: :smile:

Thank you all for your responses. I will try using different AM and HT settings once I get home later today. Howlerman, I have tried using Nvidia Inspector before and halving the FPS of my monitor that I use but I have a 144 Hz refresh rate monitor and my average FPS in P3D hovers around 30. Maybe 50 while at cruise. When trying to halve the refresh rate, I get some very interesting monitor flickering but that could be from G-Sync. I could use ULMB as a test for it but I don't think it sould solve much. And it also seems that whenever I use a frame limiter outside of the sim, it never works.

Alright after some quick testing I have found that using 340 gives slightly better terrain loading although not as fast as I would like it its definitely an improvement. It seems to load the best when I have the sim paused but that doesn't help me much haha. I haven't tested with having HT on or off would be better but I will conduct further testing tomorrow as it is 2AM right now.

Interesting. I didn't think having HT on or off would make a difference for what affinity mask setting to use. Guess I was wrong there. I will try it. I do use high priority in task manager but I sometimes forget as it needs to be set each time P3D is launch. Thanks for a quick reply!

I know this is a well known issue for some but all the other solutions I could find have not worked for me at all. It doesn't take long for the terrain quality to diminish while flying even very short distances. I've tried using FFTF but setting it at .1 or .33 has no effect on it at all. Changing my scenery settings has helped a little bit but when flying in straight lines, the terrain doesn't load properly. I don't think my hardware is an issue whatsoever as I am running 2x GTX970s (disabled SLI for only P3D as a visual bug of flickering clouds gave me problems with the current drivers). My CPU is a 5820K overclocked to 4.5GHz with 16 gigabytes of DDR4 RAM. I use ORBX Pacific Northwest and T2G SeaTac for add on scenery. I also have AS16 and ENVTEX as my main add ons along with a bunch of different aircraft from PMDG, IRIS, and Captain Sim These are my current settings. I don't know if I should be changing these or doing something else: Graphics: http://imgur.com/a/3TKoM Scenery: http://imgur.com/a/GYIrp Here are before and after screenshots of what it looks like while flying by and what it looks like after giving it a few minutes to render out the terrain. It shouldn't be taking this long to load at all. http://imgur.com/a/j5Mbs Lastly, here is my entire P3D.cfg http://pastebin.com/FFV9vh4u Any help is greatly appriciated! :smile:

Interesting. I do have Norton as well but that makes very little sense why it would be causing the issue. I'll try it

I just installed Active Sky 2016 after using the trial version a few weeks ago. But whenever I use it, my audio cuts out for 2-5 seconds with a crackling noise. It cuts my entire systems audio instead of only P3D's. It was happening when I had the trial version but when my trial ended and I just used the regular weather that came with P3D, the problem went away. Now that I installed the full version of AS16, the problem persists. I don't know if it's a CFG file error or something else but I am very puzzled by it. I am running the latest version of P3D with a few other add ons (PMDG 737, 737 immersion, precipitfx, IRIS A-10, and some textures add ons I installed separately). PC specs: 5820K overclocked to 4.5GHz 2x GTX 970s (latest drivers) 16 gigs DDR4 Any help is very appreciated!
