LaurieLourensz Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 P3D v4.5, PMDG 777 200LR/F, flying from Edinburgh to Paris, my fifth flight and on-going problems after I cross the English Channel, England scenery perfect, go into French airspace and very sandy looking. I have reinstalled LC Europe. I have many Orbx products and completely lost as to why this is. I can depart Paris CDG and fly to say Germany, Austria and all OK. Any help please?

Nick Cooper Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Hello, is open LC Europe the only Orbx scenery product that you have installed? It looks like your PC is not coping with its workload. Instead of using your phone, you can take screenshots either with the V key in P3D or the Print Screen key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurieLourensz Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 Hi Nick, I have loads of Orbx products plus many airports, some Orbx and other manufacturers. OK will reboot flight and try and get some images for you, Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Thanks, I meant Orbx products that apply only to France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaurieLourensz Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 Hi Nick, I just rebooted my sim and loaded a restore point as I do this every five minutes, Now I am flown across the channel and I have scenery. Either by reinstalling LC Europe again it works or maybe it does not and I will retry the full flight later this afternoon. Please keep this post live and I will report back regardless later as a matter of courtesy. Trust you are safe and well where ever you are in the World.

LaurieLourensz Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 Hi Nick, I started the flight again and everything fine over the U.K. As soon as I have started to cross the English channel I get the following. https://gyazo.com/5b0e35bf0b6178584cf94d2ba02ef542 https://gyazo.com/b8c0db5d8de908e1ff500cd367bc9187 The next picture is showing the English coast behind, as you may see in green and fine https://gyazo.com/14a5adee50a05ba0266fa3d4ba3ee4a7 Two pictures are of my Orbx products, I do have other airports including Paris CDG which I have been trying to fly to before this problem. I have completed other flights in an Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 800 within Europe with no issues. Thanks for the help Nick, as I am totally lost. I have not installed Orbx Trueearth Netherlands HD as I never got to be be able to fly into the airport with this installed due to elevation errors. My friend who is much better technically and I did everything you and others said with no successful outcome. Laurie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Almost, which graphics card do you have? I am wondering if the complexity of the TEGB products is pushing your PC too hard and leaving no resources for the proper display of the scenery in mainland Europe.

Nick Cooper Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 You can untick that one in the add-ons list. You can either open it on the scenario page, or in-game, at Options\add-ons in the drop down menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaurieLourensz Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Morning Nick, carried out the flight twice, once last night and the other as I type this email, no better sorry to say. First picture looking back at UK coastline crossing the English channel and the second approaching French coast and the third well into French airspace. TEGB unticked in Addons https://gyazo.com/aadc894fcdac48547e548c9284dd3a4f https://gyazo.com/cee18b0fbe829d3b2079262969e065a1 https://gyazo.com/57409d4757236b907f91cbbca873d26f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurieLourensz Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 It works! I reconnected TEGB and then disconnected it again and each time rebooting the computer and I have it working. https://gyazo.com/0e45735f3333322e55c538ca23cd2b92 Why does it work now and not last night or earlier this morning? I am helping out at a school kitchen in Paphos today to help cook meals for the people who are out of work or have no money I hope to fly later or tomorrow. Thanks for all your help Nick. Where are you? in the UK? Laurie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurieLourensz Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Can I please ask you one question, having so many Orbx products and airports, does this slow your frame rate down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 2 hours ago, LaurieLourensz said: Can I please ask you one question, having so many Orbx products and airports, does this slow your frame rate down? Not the frame rate, just the scenery detail. If you know you're just going to fly from UK to France and nowhere else, you can try unticking every other addon scenery in your library. I had less blurriness in TE England during testing by unticking everything else, even distant sceneries. I have no idea why but it seems the old FSX engine loads something from all active sceneries into the memory and when your machine is working flat out, that little bit of extra load seems to make a difference. Anyway it may or may not make a difference. For sceneries in your 'normal' P3D scenery library you can use the freeware Scenery Config Editor to highlight many entries and untick as a batch.

Nick Cooper Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 The Scenery Config Editor, which works for scenery installed inside the simulator is here The Lorby Prepar3D Addon Organizer, which works for add-on installations is here There is a payware alternative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaurieLourensz Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Hi Nick or John, just flew into Luton from Alicante, over Europe no problem, into British airspace again and major problems, TEGB is still unticked Please see pics, thanks Laurie https://gyazo.com/5d4d4c0e004426abe1317531279332da https://gyazo.com/9a31b2c7a1b79b6ec7193c0e5d5ff9bd https://gyazo.com/74e84ed2bc682988f6d2dcbe1955b3ae https://gyazo.com/40cc0fe55dfcd4be8fada1aee62ee31b https://gyazo.com/c998bf67cb0d9cd1aeed1211d5e7646b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I just did a test flight into France witht he default F22 from EGLC and I'm not seeing what you're seeing. Using a complicated aircraft can have a big impact. PMDG are especially renowned for being hard on systems. All I can recommend is that you pause the flight mid channel and save it. Exit Scenario and reload the saved flight, your France scenery should now load as clear as if you start in France. Annoying but not as annoying as the blurred scenery. Your system is marginal for what you are trying to fly unfortunately, generally for PMDG planes and TE Scenery theses days you need a 9900K and a 2080 graphics card.

LaurieLourensz Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Hi John, I save my flight every five minutes and when I reload the flight the scenery is fine. My only issue is why now? I have been flying with no issues apart from Netherland True Earth which I disabled. Is the True Earth causing conflick's with the True Earth scenery although I have at Nick's suggestion disabled TREB Thank you for coming back to me, Laurie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurieLourensz Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 John, is it my graphics card or computer chip that may need to be updated in order not to have these issues? Sorry, I am not the best at this IT stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurieLourensz Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Sorry to come back again, I uninstalled TE Gt Britain South, North, Central and Orbx Libraries and as you know unticked TEGB and flying into the UK on a new flight all is well. Why would this be? Have I wasted money on these products bearing in mind I still cannot use TE Netherlands as I have problems with Amsterdam airport. I am really confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
