The pics are typical of the issue I described in my initial reply.

I need a couple of things from you please.

1. Run the Verify Files option for TE Florida then:

2.Attach your scenery_packs.ini.

3.Attach your XP log file from your XP directory.

4.Run a flight in the same area but in a low and slow plane like the Cessna 172. Flying a jetliner at 4-500kts will be adding to the loading demand of the scenery and let me know if the problem is still there and to the same degree.

5.Let me know your PC specs.

6.Attach  pic of your XP Graphics settings page.

Thanks for the attachments and the results of your flight. It does indeed appear that flying a jet at several hundred knots is asking too much of your CPU/GPU combo to cope with loading the scenery quick enough.

Looking at your scenery_packs.ini  Ihave to say I have never seen so many entries regarding SAM as in your copy. You really need to trim it down by checking for duplicate file copies. You definitely have copies in your standard Custom folder and also on your E drive. here is a copy of the amount of references to SAM:

SCENERY_PACK E:\X-Plane 11.40\Resources\plugins\SAM\lib\SAM_Library/
SCENERY_PACK E:\X-Plane 11.40\Resources\plugins\SAM\lib\SAM_Seasons/
SCENERY_PACK E:\X-Plane 11.40\Resources\plugins\SAM\lib\SAM_Seasons/
SCENERY_PACK E:\X-Plane 11.40\Resources\plugins\SAM\lib\SAM_Library/
SCENERY_PACK E:\X-Plane 11.40\Resources\plugins\SAM\lib\SAM_Library/
SCENERY_PACK E:\X-Plane 11.40\Resources\plugins\SAM\lib\SAM_Library/
SCENERY_PACK E:\X-Plane 11.40\Resources\plugins\SAM\lib\SAM_Seasons/
SCENERY_PACK E:\X-Plane 11.40\Resources\plugins\SAM\lib\SAM_StaticAircrafts/
SCENERY_PACK E:\X-Plane 11.40\Resources\plugins\SAM\lib\SAM_Library/
SCENERY_PACK E:\X-Plane 11.40\Resources\plugins\SAM\lib\SAM_Seasons/
SCENERY_PACK E:\X-Plane 11.40\Resources\plugins\SAM\lib\SAM_GlobalTrees/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/SAM_Library/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/SAM_Seasons/
SCENERY_PACK /
SCENERY_PACK E:\X-Plane 11.40\Resources\plugins\SAM\lib\SAM_GlobalTrees/
SCENERY_PACK E:\X-Plane 11.40\Resources\plugins\SAM\lib\SAM_StaticAircrafts/

SCENERY_PACK E:\X-Plane 11.40\Resources\plugins\SAM\lib\SAM_GlobalTrees/
SCENERY_PACK E:\X-Plane 11.40\Resources\plugins\SAM\lib\SAM_StaticAircrafts/
SCENERY_PACK E:\X-Plane 11.40\Resources\plugins\SAM\lib\SAM_GlobalTrees/
SCENERY_PACK E:\X-Plane 11.40\Resources\plugins\SAM\lib\SAM_StaticAircrafts/

SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/SAM_DeveloperPack/

Way to many and using resources up.

Also your entries for TE Florida are all ove rthe place,

I have placed TE Florida where it should be in the scenery_pack.ini but have left all the erroneous SAM references as they are for you to sort out.

You also have a potential scenery clash with your copy of Orlando VFR.

I suggest you do the clean up work in your Custom Scenery folder regarding all the superfluous SAM entries before you put the attached revised scenery_packs.ini into use otherwise all those SAM entries will get continued to be written in. If you delete all the extra references then the scenry_packs.ini will reflect that when you start the sim again.

I see you are not using Vulkan. Any reason why not?

 

Regarding your XP settings, they are OK and suitable for the weaker link in your hardware which is the 3.5GHz CPU.

Jon thank you for the information.  I use xOrganizer which I thought would pick up on the duplicate sceneries but I will delete them.  I don't use Vulkan yet due to the Swift client not being able to see other aircraft.  I always fly on Vatsim and use Swift but there is a new update so I will see if it is compatible yet.  Thanks again for all your input and I will use your recommendations.  

 

Regards,

 

Jay L.

I have taken a look at the scenery_packs and have a couple of changes to make. I could immediately tell that you use X-Organiser as it doesn't necessarily play well with Orbx addons.

I have placed you Japan Pro below Global Airports as it is a scenery mod and needs to placed where it won't potentially mask any other addon content.

I have also moved to above Global airports  some airports that were placed near the bottom of the scenery_pack

SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/KDTW - Detroit Metro Wayne Co/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/KMSP - City/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/MKJS - Sangster International/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/TVSU - Union Island Airport v1.0/

You also have some addons with a brief description which i  do not know what they contain like:

SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Newark/

SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Phoenix/

Are these orth4xp  or airports? If they are Airports they need to be above Global airports. If ortho then OK where they are except that your Ortho4xp Overlay folder should be above the Ortho scenery. I will leave you top sort that out.

 

Here you go:

scenery_packs.ini

If they are scenery then leave them below Global Airports.

The scenery_pack layering system is easy to follow.

The top of the scenery_pack is for 3rd party Airports

Then Global Airports

Then Scenery addons

Then Libraries

Then any 3rd party mesh.

So leave the Newark and Phoenix as they are if they are purely scenery and not Airports

Hi Jon, great information above and much appreciated.  I'm relatively new to both XP and Orbx and trying to learn correct scenery_packs.ini ordering.

 

Would you please explain the difference between a "Scenery add-on" and a "Library" in your post above so I am clear.

 

I run XP11.55r2 on an M1 Mac mini with 16GB RAM loading my Orbx products from 2 external SSDs.  I attached my current scenery_packs.ini file just in case you want to take a look and frame your answer in terms of my *.ini file.

 

Thank you in advance,

Dave

A scenery addon is what you purchase or obtain as freeware and enhances the scenery like the True earth addons you have in your scenery_packs.

With Orbx Central you are able to create a "Library" outside of the actual XP11 installation onto another or other disk drives. You create them and name them and then you link them, via Orbx central, to the XP11 directory/Custom Scenery folder. Seethe attached User Guide and look at page 19

It appears that is what you are currently doing.

I have made slight adjustments to your scenery_packs.ini.
