Flickering textures during and post VR use.

Hi, I have come across something I had not seen previously. During beta testing of a scenery I noted there were a number of badly flickering textures on a few trees and a few custom building models. When I mentioned this to the developer he nor other beta testers could reproduce the issue. When expl...

Re: Generating scenery file indexes stuck at 98%

Hi, I was also having this problem trying to reuse a saved scenery file (I have many) from V4.2. I just did some experimenting this morning, as my scenery was stopping at 99% loading. After turning a few things on at a time, I found that the one folder/file that was stopping the scenery indexes from...

Re: San Diego City scenery - Default P3D

I just checked my cities folder and there's no san diego scenery there but I just updated client to v4.2 not the full install, is that a possible reason? Thanks That's what I did too, so I suppose it was included with the 4.2 scenery update. I had a look at the list of changes but didn't find it me...

[RESOLVED] San Diego City scenery - Default P3D

Hi, I was just wondering when the San Diego city scenery was added. Was it with the last release update (V4.2)? I ask because I tried to rename my scenery.cfg file to check how a new one was created in the course of assisting someone else's problem, and upon startup it told me the area San Diego ( &...

APX and OBX file issues since P3D V4.1

Hi, Over the past few months I have come across a few issues with some default APX files, which I think became corrupted somehow in P3D V4.1. I have seen one APX file already mentioned several times in these forums, and I read that you (LM) are aware of it and working on an update (APX26210.bgl whic...

Re: Aircraft Crash (collision) but no information

Hi, I'm not sure, I'm not going to go through the entire process as it seems to be related to this particular scenery, although only in P3D, and not in FSX. The developer himself has experienced the same, so the only solution is to keep crash detection off with this scenery. I tested thoroughly with...

Re: Aircraft Crash (collision) but no information

I have been in contact with the developers because I am testing this for the developers. It is a part of the testing process. In general I never have crash detection turned on, but I can't understand how I am crashing over 500 -1000 feet above some buildings, and even out above the ocean, with nothi...

[RESOLVED] Aircraft Crash (collision) but no information - Add-on Scenery

Hi, Just the last few days I have turned on crash detection in P3D V4.2 to test some overly zealous crash boxes in a few sceneries. I have just started testing another scenery and i am getting crashes when over 1000 feet up and no where near anything. There is no label as normally appears, such as &...

Re: P3D V3 CTD with MSVCR90.dll (With TFDi 717)

I will add to my last post above that both developers from Milviz/Rex and TFDi are looking in to this conflict and will hopefully come up with a solution at some stage.

Re: P3D V3 CTD with MSVCR90.dll (With TFDi 717)

Thanks all for the advice. I finally found the conflict. When I disable MV_WXM.dll in the dll.xml (or both dll.xmls) the 717 does not cause the CTD. This module belongs to the Rex/Milviz "WXAdvantage" weather radar. I was sure I had disabled all dlls to rule them out soon after the issue b...

Re: P3D V3 CTD with MSVCR90.dll (With TFDi 717)

Thank you both for the replies. that gives me more to think about. I have tried a lot of things and in fact turning off the dll was one of the first things I tried, but it has an adverse effect with two other programs, Opus FSX and Intel Rapid Storage. It does allow the 717 to load and operate norma...

Re: P3D V3 CTD with MSVCR90.dll (With TFDi 717)

Hi, Thanks for the reply and info. I have been in contact with the developer since the issue began appearing and there has been quite a bit of discussion from both sides. Unfortunately the devs insist that dll, and I assume that runtime, are not used by the 717 at all. They are at as much of a loss ...
