Photosbykev Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Hi, I'm running MSFS fully updated on Windows 10 Pro also updated on an i9900k@5Ghz, RTX3090 and 64Gb ram with 3 x 1Tb m.2 drives. With an empty community folder except for the Orbx Alaska or NZ mesh if I try to load into an airport the sim stalls with the loading bar at 100%. I've left the computer running for 10 minutes to check if it will continue but no joy. If I check with task manager the sim is using a lot of the cpu and gpu but doesn't continue to load the cinematic airport intro where I can click on 'Lets fly'. I've included a screen shot of the stalled sim with the task manager screen If I load the community folder with all my default aircraft and mods, excluding the meshes, the sim will load into an airport in less than a minute. I've tried clearing the rolling cache, deleting the content.xml and scenery indexes but the sim will not start with either mesh in the community folder. Any thoughts on what else could be causing the problem? Edited August 28, 2021 by Photosbykev more info 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that would of affected my normal community folder set up as well as just the Orbx mesh set up and my normal set up loads just fine so it's possible the server might be the problem but unlikely.

Hurricane Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) This happened to me when the game started using offline data, the game has some bad server issues at the moment and dropping the bing data. If you goto the world view do u still see the satellite data when you zoom in? My nz mesh stopped loading when this happened. It could be something Orbx could look at to allow offline use as the servers have become increasingly worse since the Xbox users started. Could be a capacity thing Edited August 29, 2021 by Hurricane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a capacity thing Fired up the computer this morning with nothing changed from yesterday and checked the world map zoomed in on Orbx PAKT and the sat data shows up. Tried to launch the sim at PAKT and it is just stalls again I have noticed if I load into an airport outside of the Orbx mesh coverage the sim will load correctly with the mesh in the community folder. I can then use dev mode to teleport into PAKT and everything is there. Very very odd behaviour. ????? Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photosbykev Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 Fingers crossed I think I've resolved the problem. I uninstalled the sim, rebooted the pc and re-installed the sim back into the same location on my D: drive so the sim just did a file verification check rather than a complete download and re-install. Rebooted again and now everything appears to be loading correctly At least it was a quick 'repair' after trouble shooting for 6-7 hours yesterday.
