    Broome intl issue

    in Prepar3D

    Posted

    To me it looks like the default scenery is coming through.  And that maybe it is running out of vram. But my vram is only getting to 3.3 to 3.5  and i have 10gb available.   

     

    On a similar point i was wondering if anyone new of a good article or something on the best settings for p3d5.4 and active sky.   After  i updated to v5.4 my terrain and sky is just a mess.  I can’t get things looking right.  And volumetric fog is way to strong but you can’t turn it off unless you turn off enhanced atmosphere.  Really anoying.

    solution and was told that my third addons and shaders were causing it tho it only happens at Broome ?.

    The thing is i dont have any other add ons other than Orbx global and vector and airports.  I deleted all the shaders and deleted the cfg but still there.  

     

    I think Orbx creators need to look at this more. Ive seen quite a few comments around saying about this same problem.  I still think there is an altitude issue somehow with this region locally.  

     

    Nick, one question, do you have Australia V2 installed and have you tryed it without v2 installed?

    Hi Nick. Thanks for your help so far but the issue is still there.   I have deleted al the shaders and I updated to 5.4 as per your article on updating P3D and deleted the cfg aswell..  As you can see in the pictures it shows what im getting.  the first pic is if i move the camera to a different angle.  but as i move it back you can see it changes the whole texture and scenery.  Its not a slow loading thing.  it is permantly there untill I change the camera angle.   and if you look its not just the runway it all the scernery around it aswell.   the wierd thing is that it only happens if I fly into the airport.  If I load the sim from the start into this airport then all is fine.  

     

    Also im having issues with the altimiter on approach.  as I get closer to the airport the QNH in AS goes to 2992 wich is the default but when I get to the runway the engines should go to idle but instead the spool up and I have to manualy set to idle.  

    Im confused to whats happening here but i tink there is and elevation problem with the airport or scenery.   I just dont know.

    Hello,
    please try deleting your P3D shaders and if you have used any software to modify them,
    turn that off.

    OK.  I’ll try that. Can you please point me to the right part to delete.   I’m actually going to update to 5.4 and ill remove the shaders in the process.   I’ll let you know when im done with that how it goes.

    Hello,
    thanks.

    If I try hard enough, I can indeed replicate some of the airport textures turning black.
    I think that John is probably right, in as much as P3D v5 has a habit of unloading textures that it is not looking at
    and then when they suddenly come back into view, it takes a few moments to load them back in.
    It certainly is not either missing textures, or anything else showing through, it is just textures being unloaded and then reloaded.

     

    This is the setting that John referred to, it's in the [GRAPHICS] section of your Prepar3D.cfg file.

     

     

    There are numerous other official tweaks here:

     

    Advanced Configuration (prepar3d.com)

    None of them will take effect until P3D is restarted.

     

    I find also that the effect can be mitigated somewhat by limiting the frame rate to say 30, then P3D spends less time
    chasing frames and more time loading textures.
    I don't think that it can be eliminated altogether.

    These black areas aren’t just loading slow.  The black areas are permanent and are dependant on the camera angle.  I’ll try and get some screenshots when i have some time to see what i mean.  I’m also wondering that it might be an elevation issue as I’ve got issues with setting the altimeter but it doesn’t show the ground being set right and on approach the 737 doesn’t throttle down it starts to accelerate.   The raas height calls are correct though.  

     

    Another question would having australia v2 installed fix these problems.   The page for the Broome scenery says it should have australia v2 installed.   I dont have it.  Will this help?

    Ok so i have tryed all of the settings on that page but it haven’t changed anything.  And MAX_TEXTURE_REQUEST_DISTANCE IS ALREADY AT 1000. Also i noted that if i load the sim straight into the Broome airport then everything is fine but if i fly into the airport from another airport then i get about 200m of the runway flicks to black. The 2 ends of the runway is normal.  Also the parking area switches black at certain camera angles.   Another problem with this airport is that the elevation seems to be wrong.  When im coming to land the aircraft (pmdg 737). Seems to think the runway should be lower and it doesn’t throttle down on flare it powers up instead.   To be honest im now completely confused as to what is going on with this scenery.  

    broome runway and taxi ways darken on different views.

    I've had the same problem at other airports,& it turned out to be the default runways & taxiways showing through at different angles.

    The fix was to remove the afcad of the air traffic add on I was using.In my case Traffic 360.It was causing a conflict with the scenery add on. 

    If you look closely at the two pictures you posted you can clearly see the difference in detail between the textures of the add on scenery & the default.

    Can you please explain how i go about doing this as i have this same issue at Broome.  I’m running traffic live.  When this is done Does it mean that there will be no ai aircraft at this airport?

    Hi everyone.  So i got the broome intl airport and installed it.  All installed fine but when i fly into the airport the scenery flicks back to a black area on the runway and also around the gates area.  If i pan around it goes away.   But i pan back to original spot and it turns black again.  It seems like the old scenery is coming through in spots. In Orbx sore it says i should have australia v2 installed but it says that for all airports.  I dont have au v2.  Is that an issue.  And if it is just the old scenery showing through how do i get rid of it.

    All aircraft and traffic is about 2m off the ground

    Hey. Thanks for reply’s.  I’m not running Alaska mesh.  Should i be?   I verified the files in Orbx panc but it didn’t change anything.   And no i dont have any panc freeware installed.   I’m not sure what to do from here.   Why was the airport elevation correction removed from vector.  It was a useful tool that fixed a lot of my problems with airports. I need that back.

    Ok so I have resolved this issue myself.  And I’m putting this up for anyone having the same issues with textures and buildings and trees not loading at all when arriving at your destination city.   
    the problem for me was I. The subnetmask= enters in the p3d.cfg 

    I removed the whole entry and moved all other txt to the top of the page.  This fixed all the issues I had.  Textures now load in instantly and all the buildings and trees are in place.  I’ve not done any more testing with the subnetmask entry so I’m not sure if it was the value it was set to or just the fact that I had the subnetmask entry that it didn’t like.  
    also I didn’t try this in p3d4.5 as I’m not using it anymore but I’m pretty sure it is the same as I got the subnetmask value from my p3d4.5.cfg file.  Anyway I hope this helps anyone having issues with textures loading in.

    Ok. So I have now upgraded to p3d v5.  I spent a week installing everything and getting all the addon working and updated.   I did the first flight today with the ngxu. From ymml to yssy.  But as I approached the cityscape of Sydney all the detail just disappeared same as with p3dv4.   
    I need help.  I’m going crazy over this.  I don’t know where to look for the problem anymore and I have locked the frames to 30 in p3d.  I have turned all setting right down. None of it makes any difference.  I’m starting to think that this is a problem with my pc itself.   The other thing is my video card only ever gets to 30% usage and 4500mb of vram.  It’s like it’s not trying hard enough.  Lol. 
     

    I even flew around Sydney cityscape for half an hour and still nothing loaded in.   And it happens at any cityscape that I approach when I get down to a low altitude.   I also noticed that when I took off from ymml before I got to about 30000ft and all the landscape went blurry.  I changed a setting that forced a regeneration of textures and it came back again.  Could this be something to do with altitude transition.   
     

    please help me as I am going to tear my hair out.  I just want to get back to flying.   
     

    I took some screenshots aswell and I will put them up soon.

    Just thought I’d also ask what you think about upgrading to p3dv5.  Is it worth it.  Do I have the right hardware to run it.  And will I see a performance increase over p3d4.  Olso is the actual graphics and look of it better.   Is it still comparable with most things?

     

    just looking for opinions on it and if it is worth the trouble of a fresh install of everything.   Cost doesn’t worry me.

    Ok so I’ve done all of these things to try and fix this issue.  None of them work.  I dont really understand why it loses all detail on approach.   It doesn’t do it if I take off from that airport and go around for landing.  Only when I come in from another location.  I will try and get some pics up for it tomorrowto show you.  
    also the funny thing is my video usage is only going up to no more than 30%.  Even if I turn all the sliders up to max.  And it is only using 3.5Gbs vram at the most.  Is that normal.  Let me know if there’s any other info I can give you about it and I’ll try and get it.

    Ok.  I’ve tried  locking FPS.  But I haven’t refreshed the cfg file.   How do I do that?   It’s weird I’m also getting problem with the scenery losing all detail as I approach the airport.  The airport itself is fine but everything around it is just bland blurry flat land.   No buildings nothing.   But it’s only as I get close on approach to the airport.   Even on default airports.
