Stuttering over approach lights

Post by mudhendriver » Mon Sep 06, 2010 7:16 pm

Nice job on KBUF--nice surprise. I've got a top end system (i7 extreme 965/3.8Ghz/Nvidia GTX 285 at 2GB/8GB DDR 3 RAM/etc) and have had no issues with addon airports (FSDT, Imagine) to include all of Fly Tampa products, until KBUF. I installed and checked all the "eye candy" then noticed pretty severe staggers mainly over the approach end RWY23; so I uninstalled/reinstalled with all eye candy turned off--same. I read the post on the fence shadows so I downloaded and copy/replaced (overwrote existing .bgls)--with little or no change...still staggers right at the critical flare point on the approach end. Any ideas?

Thanks

Are you using Shockwave/A2A 3D lights add-on? I had that same problem awhile back on my last PC. For some reason the 3D Lights and some runway lights tried to fight for resources.

No shockwave lights...in FS9 so far with PMDG 737, Kirk Olson's F-16, Wilco Airbus, Wilco E-Jet V2. I have REX, AS6.5, Ultimate Terrain US, FSGenesis 38m LOD, GE Pro...again, not a problem anywhere but KBUF. Some Imagine products will do a micro quick "hang" about 15nm out but that's well known.

System is fresh/clean run O/O defrag etc once every 2 weeks, register cleaner etc. Average 40-50FPS in FS9. I only use the computer for FS9. I use Vista Ultimate 64bit.

It seems there are some last second texture builds when you are over the approach end of RWY23...just above the overrun. I tried day and night approaches and no difference. What are the texture sizes...1024? I have plenty of horsepower to run so I'm a bit confused. Is it possible to delete the fence completely?

Thanks

Give these replacement files a try.
I've adjusted the LOD on the jetways to load further away.
& added alpha to some textures that didn't have any.

Please report back.
