Show-stopping issues with KLAS for XP 11

[MediumRareBaku]

Hello,

Purchased this this evening and have two major show-stopping issues:

1. Ortho conversion tool has issues with the textures, and xOrganizer tells me that there's an issue with the mesh folder -- it doesn't specify what it is, but it says "Error with installation or empty scenery package" -- but the folder is not empty. Pictures:

2. Absolutely atrocious frame rates -- with the hotfix installed and the static billboards installed I am getting 20 FPS on the ramp at night which is, unfortunately, completely unusable for me. I have a fairly decent machine -- Ryzen 5 3600, NVIDIA 1070ti, and 32 GB of RAM -- and am able to run most other heavy sceneries with decent frames (including your Copenhagen). Is it possible to tone down the reflections on the strip? Or tone down the lighting? I even have these issues when looking at the ramp. My graphic settings:

Let me know if there's anything I can do to fix either of these issues, please.

Thanks!

I'm having the exact same issue as above(minus the frames). I even tried re-downloading ortho tiles from two separate sources and running the python script as an admin. Same results.

Log file attached for the performance issue. Fairly confident my scenery .ini file is correct but can share that also if you're curious.

I would recommend using Vulkan. I dont think openGL is enough these days. No doubt Vegas is a heavy one, but easily handled with Vulkan.

I am planning to purchase Las Vegas for XP11.41 but what is Vulkan?

So, ok, I upgraded to Vulkan, and 25 fps on the ramp at night with these settings in the IXEG 737? Similar in the Zibo?

Since that is X-Plane 11.50 BETA I am not interested until X-Plane 11.50 becomes final. Many thanks for your help.

Completely fresh install of Vulkan today just to double check -- literally no other plugin or addon aircraft or scenery installed, even removed a lot of the extra default X-Plane scenery that wasn't near KLAS -- ~30 fps in the default 737 at night looking at the strip, with the static banners. A stable 30 fps would be usable in the aircraft I actually use in XP, but as soon as I add on any of the other aircraft I usually use it craters back down into the low 20s.

Really begging you guys to consider a version that tones down reflections, night lighting, interiors, something that will boost performance. Otherwise, what's your refund policy, and who can I email about it?

I think graphics settings is the culprit to fix the KLAS performance.

hi there, please email support@flytampa.com with your username. We can explore a few other options or issue a refund if still un-resolved.

thanks

as i told in a similar post, you should not slew around with the aircraft of in free cam mode ... can you reproduce this when flying normally? I just deleted my NAIP ZL17 tile and created a new one with ortho4xp .. this time USA2 (still NED 1/3" mesh though) ... I cant reproduce your issues ... yes there is a slight color mismatch, but its because for testing i used USA2 now and the boarding other tiles are NAIP from Forkboy ...

here some pictures from all corners ...

BTW.: yeah its an heavy scenery, but this was clear looking at all those effects ... I think there is a version posted here in the forum without the animations, maybe this is doing the trick for you? ... and dont use 11.4X, this scenery is made for Vulkan ;) ... Its just not possible to run it properly with the older versions ... its also a FlyTampa suggestion

So, Las Vegas will not run with XP 11.41? I learned it will run with VulKan. I guess I can keep version 11.41 and to find the VulKan installer or maybe NVidia graphics installer includes VulKan. Do you know about?

[deshain]

I guess it will run ... I don’t have 11.4x installation anymore but my point was that it will probably not run well because of fps when in OpenGL mode ... I should have said that it’s better to have Vulkan for performance reasons :)
