Kenny1986 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Since installing several Add-ons for my FSX Steam edition including Orbx Base pack, vector and the Europe and North America openLC's I haven't been able to see boats or other airplanes clearly from a distance, I only get to see them when they are approximately a mile out. I've checked my setting in FSX and they are all maxed out Any ideas ? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Hi Kenny, there's nothing in those add-ons that would interfere with AI in that manner. Are you using any tweaks in your fsx.cfg file? Some, such as "SmallPartRejectRadius", can impact the display of smaller objects at a distance. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny1986 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Thanks Holger, I checked my .cfg folder but no Smallpartrejectradius found. My boats are even completely gone now I checked better :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Hamilton Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Try deleting it and let FSX build a new one. If the issue remains, the config file can be eliminated from the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missleman01 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Did anyone resolve this one? I tried deleting my FSX config and it generated a new one, but the problem persisted. I don't even see them a mile out. I have to buzz the ship to get it to show. I included a screen of what I see. Again, I have to be on top of the vessel for it to show. EDIT- This was taken off Orcas in the PNW area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreenToad Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I read somewhere in this forum that for FSX:SE you need to add the line SmallPartRejectRadius=0 to the "[SCENERY]" section in your FSX.CFG, because otherwise some distant objects will not be drawn. Maybe that fixes your issue as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penzoil3 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Check your sliders under traffic. I keep mine at about 40% for boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missleman01 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Just tried both, no joy. Interestingly once I buzz a boat and it renders, it stays rendered even as I pass and open up distance significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missleman01 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Finally I found through another thread http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?91991-AI-Boats-Have-All-Gone-Missing If anyone is having the issue and the other items haven't worked it seems if I have compatibility settings turned off for my FSX executable the boats return. I cant remember what crash or fix I had compatibility settings on for but others had vista and simply turned it off. I had XP selected and just turned it off and it worked. Hopefully I don't run into whatever issue I mitigated before but for now it works. Thanks to the other suggestions too. It seems the small object radius, etc. has worked for some so it just depends on the flavor of the problem you have. [EDIT, I run Win7 Ultimate BTW] Someone cue the Who. I can now see them for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
