FlyBlueSkies Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Hello, I'm really enjoying NZMF (Milford Sound). Very beautiful area and I am very happy with this purchase. I'm using P3DV4.2 and I notice that every time I take off on runway 29, just as I begin to rotate, the sim pauses for a very long time...always in the same spot. It's like Orbx Object Flow 2 has to load something at this point... I've taken a look at the control panel and I suppose there are many things I could turn off, but I don't know where to start. As I have to restart the sim each time I make a change, are there any possible suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Hello, this has been mentioned once or twice before. It appears that there are certain points on the virtual globe where the simulator draws in the next "chunk" of data. Milford Sound seems to be exactly at one of these points and I believe that what happens to you happens to everyone. It certainly happens to me.

FlyBlueSkies Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Thanks Nick, I just found several post's talking about this. This one in particular, while it does not offer a solution, helps to explain what I'm seeing as well: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simu67 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Hi, Yes, it is a known thing; and i was desappointed when I saw that 64 bit didn't change anything. On a clean simulator install, the pause is about 1/2 second. But with all my Orbx add-ons, the pause inflates to 5 seconds... I didn't find any trick to solve this, and the LM P3D forum didn't help. I have till reached other "chunk points" in the world, but these are not exactly on a runway. I don't want to waste time with this and there are a lot of beautiful areas in my P3D's world. For sure, NZMF has lost a lot of charm with that, and I hoped that the author of the scene could do anything; but it seems he didn't find any workaround. If you want to analyse this, i'd suggest to check if the RAM usage is related; and if disk usage is high at this point. A tool like Process Monitor could help to see what the machine is doing etc... regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aua668 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Hi, Today I did the upgrade to P3D 4.5. And believe it or not: No freeze during takeoff in NZMF anymore. I did two flights in different aircrafts. And in both cases a smooth takeoff. Maybe some of you with the same freezes can confirm, that the problem is now gone.

FlyBlueSkies Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 The pause is gone on take off...but appears to have moved east of the airport. But, still good news... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBlueSkies Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Just did a bit more testing. The long pause is definitely gone with P3DV4.5. The pause to the east appears to be the normal scenery pause when autogen buildings appear. When I fly over that same area several more times (during the same session), the pause is gone. Very good news IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
