C1PFH Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I cannot get the 'London City Pack' to load in Microsoft Flight Simulator. (Post Sim Update 5, post 30 July 2021, Hotfix.) The flight stops loading at the blue indicator line half way point. Have to use CTRL+ALT+Del to stop and restart. Have installed from the Marketplace and uninstalled twice since the Hotfix. ie This is repeatable. This issue appeared after Sim Update 5, before the Hotfix. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Doug Sawatzky Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Hi, welcome to the forums First, please try deleting the content.xml, and the .dat files in the Scenery Indexes folder, and also deleting and turning off the rolling cache. There are also several topics relating to this issue on these forums that a quick search will reveal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlaycock Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Hi I also have this I have deleted the files as advised still will not load Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Hello, can you load at EGLC, using the flight creation method and not the Discovery method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM01 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Have you removed everything from the community folder and just left EGLC in there and tried? I've also had a few occurrences where the sim appeared to freeze, but recovered after a few minutes, as well as some where it has just frozen and I've had to CTRL+ALT+DEL.

John Dow Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 These problems seem to be related to changes to files in the Official folder and/or 3rd party scenery packs. A veritable minefield for the potential sleuth. I had to reinstall after I changed some values in the trees file to reduce the tree sizes, once the changes had been made returning the file didn't help as it now had a different date time property. So... you might need to reinstall in order to get it working, if your experience is the same as mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dow Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I had to reinstall the sim... but that was a different issue. I just tested EGLC and London Landmarks together and it is crashing now so no need to do anything, the devs will have to track down the reason for the conflict, so for the time being it seems you will have to choose the airport or the city!

John Dow Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Try it without photogrammetry. I just loaded up EGLC and Landmarks London with photogrammetry off and it's loaded ready to take off... Confirmed a flight over London to Elstree without photogrammetry no issues. @Nick Cooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssy523 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I have the same lading problem. It just stops loading at about 2/3. Without London Landmarks Pack, no problem. I doubt it is only for the users who purchased from MS Marketplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Vandermeer Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I already posted this in the photogrammetry thread: But I think it's not a photogrammetry problem, it's a marketplace version problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcnamee Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 same problem. Flight hangs during load after update 5 if London Scenery is loaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgo_The_MonkeyGod Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Still locks up after friday7/8/21 hotfix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Flew last night without photogrammetry no problems. If it's crashing for you without pg then chances are a 3rd party scenery or add on is the cause. If it's only with pg on, I'd say you'll need to fly without pg until the problem can be solved.
