having issues with 5.2

Post by donkey20048 »

hello

so i have uninstalled client and content and installed 5.2 versions of both. When i load in my 777 it is causing issues with black textures etc and scenery issues like grass on taxiway now when they were not there with 5.1

Where can i find the legacy files for the content for 5.1 or will reinstalling 5.1 cause issues of its own?

Hello,

Are you only having issues when using the 777? Some add-ons may not yet be compatible with 5.2.

Hello everybody! How are you?

I have problems with everything that is not default. PMDG, AEROSOFT (airplanes and airports), Tfdi, QW… We will have to wait for the different updates from third parties!

All the best.

Ok found out what the issue was

For once I didn’t restore shaders from rex so when I had new client it caused issues

Deleted shader Hsl folder in P3D folder and repaired client and all working perfect now

Hello everybody!

Well, I have done a clean installation of the simulator and all its addons and all the incidents have been solved.

The simulator is doing great and VRAM consumption has dropped considerably.

Greetings to all.

Hi,

Also problems with 5.2.
After unstall/reinstall the Client en Content soft, my frames dropped from 40 fps to 11 fps ...
And my ProSim B737 Flight Model is black.

The quest to fix this can begin...
And I don't feel like reinstalling the full 5.2 from scratch ...

Do you have an shaders installed like envtex etc ? If so delete the shaders hsl folder from your P3D then repair the client using the exe or uninstall in control panel and select client and press repair when promoted

My FPS has also dropped from 35 to 10. I thought the problem was with my FSDT 788 but after re-installing everything and checking for the latest video driver, I have given up. it may very well be an issue with my add-ons but the default aircraft are doing the same thing. It's strange because when I first fire up the program my FPS starts out at around 35 then slowly drops to 10 or so. This could be a combination of everything. I'll wait for update before going back to 5.1

I had same problems with black planes. Below it's FSLabs A320, but same issue with PMDG. I'm not sure if I fixed it, by ORBX check of almost everything starting from Global Base reinstall + LC check etc and shaders removal. Problem seems to be fixed, but in 5.2 I experience weird FPS drops and hanging value of Shift-Z. It hangs FPS after some time. I've been flying for 1h and suddenly frames drops to 10FPS and this Shift-Z value is frozen. Have no idea. Didn't have it in 5.1HF1. I think it's related with clouds performance, got RTX3090 so VRAM was never a problem for me. Need to observe more.
