Jack Sawyer Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 All Orbx TEGB areas. I had ASXP on and off. xVision and UWXP. Frames and smoothness were good, tested per JJ's settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Love the pics mate. Nice frame rates too so you can enjoy smoother flying. Good to see that many of the pics include also the Weather programme ASXP which is a resource demanding addition. We're getting there Buddy.

Mark Abdey Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Hmm... Maybe re-run the installer, which will check the files... it should (I think) repair any missing/damaged ones if that is the case. Is this 11.32r2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wain71 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Jack you need to create a flight. Anything will do.. let it load. .top right open flight configuration. . now when your planes come up you should see a box saying regenerate icons . Click this and wait... screen will go funny but be patient. I did this yesterday as I installed some carenado stuff.... you may have to choose the black plane to see the box. Sorry I am working...

Dadtom65 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Great shots Jack. Haven’t got a weather program for Xplane yet as busy buying all that Orbx brings out. Must get one soon. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentry11 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 If you ever need to re-generate aircraft icons its best to do it from the "Developer" menu item at the very top of the menu bar and scroll down to "Regenerate Icons for Current Aircraft", if thats not what you have been doing already after selecting the problem aircraft.

Just to add to your confusion it's an API (Application Programming Interface) as is 'Open GL' - currently in use. Vulkan will apparently simplify and accelerate the work load between CPU and GPU allowing increased and much more efficient data processing - end result improved frame rates and generally better performance. I hope you appreciate how I sling those tech terms around just like I knew something - without Google, I'm a eunuch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
