John Ludke 976581 Posted August 11, 2006 at 03:27 PM Posted August 11, 2006 at 03:27 PM Im new here at vatsim but have been flying offline for quite some time, and have never had this problem until i started to use vatsim. Everything will be fine at takeoff and cruising, but as soon as I start to descend the terrain is missing. All that is there is a blue screen with clouds. And when i start descending my fps go from 30-40 down to 4-6. I havent been able to land yet because i have to disconnect because there is no terrain and no airport to land on. Im not using any addons except the pmdg737ng PC specs 2.4 Amd 3400 64bit 1024 ddr sdram 7600gt 256mb pci-E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Catherwood 903683 Posted August 11, 2006 at 03:43 PM Posted August 11, 2006 at 03:43 PM Try [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igning a key to the "refresh scenery" option in the key [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ignments. That should force FS to reload the scenery for your destination. KZSE C3/Facilities Administrator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Ludke 976581 Posted August 11, 2006 at 04:30 PM Author Posted August 11, 2006 at 04:30 PM i forgot to mention that i had already tried that, all it did was make the fps even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Vainer 929287 Posted August 11, 2006 at 04:43 PM Posted August 11, 2006 at 04:43 PM That use to happen to me only under one condition, while FS was loading the flight, I'd alt-tab out of it, and maximize it to find that I have no terrian! So if that is it, just let it load completely before switching tasks. Alex "AV" Vainer C1 Los Angeles ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Ludke 976581 Posted August 11, 2006 at 07:40 PM Author Posted August 11, 2006 at 07:40 PM That is probably what is causing the problem because i do use alt-tab a lot. Ill have to try another flight and see how it goes, thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Ludke 976581 Posted August 11, 2006 at 10:47 PM Author Posted August 11, 2006 at 10:47 PM This time the terrain did not disapear, but i still could not make the landing. With about 20 miles to the airport the sound all of a sudden blares out static, the only way i could get it to stop was by pressing Q. Also my fps still shot way down. I went from getting 30 fps down to 1fps. The problem always seem to be happening at the same time, about 20-40 miles away from the destination. Not sure what could be causing the problem.

John Ludke 976581 Posted August 11, 2006 at 11:39 PM Author Posted August 11, 2006 at 11:39 PM I was doing some searching to see if anyone else had the same problem and it looks like im not the only one. http://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?t=11125&highlight=fps Never had sb3.0 so I dont have anything to compare it to.
