CTVredvirus Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Yesterday I tried installing vector and my p3d got slower and will hang. I then uninstall vector and p3d v5 works normal again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Hello, for some reason, P3D v5 indexes every Orbx Vector file. You can watch this happening in the Windows Performance Monitor. None of the other simulators do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTVredvirus Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 Hi Nick! Thanks for the information what exactly does that mean and will it be a fix for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Hello. It means that P3D is looking at every vector file. This takes a long tome. That is why the simulator slows down. There is no plan that I am aware of to modify Vector. I do not know what plans Lockheed Martin have for their next update to P3D v5. You are free to disable or uninstall Orbx Global Vector.

CTVredvirus Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 It is not the fact that p3d v5 is slowed down, I could not start a flight because p3d will hang on flight planner because of vector. I have other Orbx product installed like: Global base, Global Europe, Global Trees, Terra flora 2 etc and they work perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTVredvirus Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 OK, thanks! So basically I just have to wait for the process to finish and then everything will work as normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Yes, or disable the process, make your flight plan and then enable Vector again, as stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTVredvirus Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 I have now installed vector again and started p3d, disk usage is 2% and every time I choose in the flight planner vor to vor it will say unable to find a route, furthermore in the flightplanner map there is no more airport, and I can not look up runways, freq etc. again when vector is removed everything i back to normal. It has now been able to find a route but in the flightplanner map there is no more airport, and I can not look up runways, freq etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTVredvirus Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 OK, the airport showed up after 10 min of p3d being open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Hello, I guess that you did not read the topic that I linked, so here is what it suggests: Quote Unfortunately, it seems that making a flightplan triggers the same undesirable effect, which does indeed slow the process to a crawl. I don't know why P3D v5 does this but there is a very easy way to stop it. Before you begin your flight planning, on the same scenario page, open the Options\add-ons menu, because you will all of course have installed Vector into P3D v5 using the add-ons method, and remove the tick from the Vector box. You will then be able to create your flightplan in good time and before you launch your flight, revisit the add-ons list and replace the tick in the Vector box. This is slightly inconvenient and may add as much as 20 seconds to the flight planning procedure but must be better than hoping that the next iteration of P3D v5 will address this odd behaviour.

CTVredvirus Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 One mote thing do, in that post you write " Hello, when P3D v5 loads for the first time, it seems to index all the Vector files, which extends the loading time. If you open the Windows Performance Manager at its Disk page, you can see this happening. It does this only once in each P3D v5 session." But this happens every time p3d starts up.

Nick Cooper Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Yes, that's what it means, every time you stop it, that ends a session. Every time you start it, that starts a session. Apologies for the misunderstanding and in any case, it does not affect the flight planner, which is always slow if Vector is active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordseekrabbe Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 May be the issue is the location of vector in the scenery library. I have positioned the three vector-files on layer 3 (-EXX), 4 (-CVX) and 5 (-OBJ) with Lorby-Si (between "Default Scenery" and "0000 Base"). Now flightplanner is okay, load time is under 1 min, the issues seem to disappear !? Only Vector-File -OBJ has automatically changed to layer 6 (between vector-cvx and 0000 Base). Perhaps, try it ! To buy Vector and than to disable it is not really a solution !!! Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Hello, have you checked to see if it works there? This does not happen in P3D v4.5, regardless of what the customer does to the scenery library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordseekrabbe Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Hello Nick, I started just with a flight in Mexiko; starting less than 1 Min., no problems. Vector is positioned as I have shown above and is active. I use P3D v5 Hf2 ! I am eagerly looking forward to the various experience of other guys.
