choppy graphics?

Postby batmanflies » Wed Dec 07, 2005 7:53 am

Of late, after installing several scenery and traffic files, I realised my FS graphics hve become super choppy, especially when transiting from cockpit, tower view to spot view. Now and then, I would see the aircraft next to me vibrating and shaking up and down, even the trees do that! What's wrong????? :(

There are several things that could cause this.
1). A bad scenery file.
2). to much ai aircraft for your system to handle or using flyable aircraft as AI can also cause this.
3). You have reached the limit that your system can handle due to video card limits or to little ram.

I would suggest to remove all of the recent AI aircraft and scenery you just added and put them back one at a time checking FS to see if the proplem is there or not.
When you find the offending item or items then do not put them on your system.
Make sure you check them all it might be more than one  or even a combination of scenery and AI. 8)

is this phenomenon happening on one particular airport or is it all over the world?

i guess that could happen if you have maybe more than one scenery of the same area installed ::)

Sorry to disappoint, but this happens throughout the world, in KSFO, Melbourne, Sydney....everywhere! Thanks Moach, but I guess I'll just have to check it out at Project AI!

2 options to reduce/remove ai traffic:

1)From the FS main window, select Settings>Traffic and reduce the 'ai traffic density' slider. (from the in-flight screen, options/settings/traffic). As the ai traffic file author(s) can program the 'density' at which their ai traffic appears, you may have to reduce the slider to zero/near zero to rid some.

2) Explore the ..\FS9\Scenery\World\scenery folder. Scroll down to find the 'traffic' files. The default traffic file is 'traffic030528.bgl'. Add-on traffic files will be 'trafficxxxxx.bgl', i.e. 'traffic_pai.bgl'. Renaming the file(s) to 'trafficxxxxx.bbb'

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
