Prepar V4 No render/black screen

Post by fruscella »

Hi, Im running a GTX 1080 on SLI
I can see the main screen to select scenario/aircraft/Config
When I launch the flight simulator I see a black screen (with sound and the red notification on top right)
Tried with all to full and also to Default video config.
It is a clean installation, just reinstalled Windows 10

Any clue?

Did you wait long enough? If I delete the shaders (either to run another PTA preset or each time I upgraded the display Driver), it takes several seconds up to longer than a full Minute until the image starts to show (usually first the ground textures, then the autogen and last the clouds). If you abort the loading after 30-40 seconds, you might have simply not waited long enough...
