Robert Lee Posted December 5, 2021 at 08:26 PM Posted December 5, 2021 at 08:26 PM Troubleshooting freezing of the sim and endless pausing making flying online impossible. At cruise and climb out approaching a big airport like Frankfurt, Zurich, Heathrow the sim is unflyable. I logged off vatsim and the sim went back to normal. Each of these airports have SODE VDGS if that matters, could vPilot (latest beta I use) be combined to tie up simconnect or similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Carlson Posted December 5, 2021 at 09:31 PM Posted December 5, 2021 at 09:31 PM I doubt that it's a conflict between vPilot and SODE, since many people use them together without issues. What do you use for model matching? Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The connection is the big airports that have sode and vgds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted December 5, 2021 at 11:01 PM Posted December 5, 2021 at 11:01 PM Was it fine in P3D 5.2 or were you previously using an even older version?

Ross Carlson Posted December 6, 2021 at 02:05 AM Posted December 6, 2021 at 02:05 AM I guess they changed something in 5.3. I haven't tried it myself yet.

Not on the ground it happens once in the air and in about a 50 mile radius from an airport Aerosoft EGLL, EDDF, so far and possibly Zurich Edited December 6, 2021 at 02:27 AM by Robert Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted December 6, 2021 at 02:38 AM Posted December 6, 2021 at 02:38 AM The only thing I can suggest is to temporarily disable the airport add-ons to see if it truly is an issue with SODE.

Robert Lee Posted December 6, 2021 at 04:14 AM Author Posted December 6, 2021 at 04:14 AM Removing my airports or sode does not sound fun is there another thing I can try? I passed over an airport that has just sode, after logging back in leaving Frankfurt region, and the sim did not freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted December 6, 2021 at 04:16 AM Posted December 6, 2021 at 04:16 AM You don't have to uninstall them, just disable them in the add-ons list. (I'm assuming they are installed as proper add-ons and not just dumped in the scenery folder with the stock scenery.)

Robert Lee Posted December 6, 2021 at 10:42 PM Author Posted December 6, 2021 at 10:42 PM I had a couple minutes to quickly setup a flight before I left and the same problem, departed and pausing and stuttering started, then disconnected and closed vpilot and the sim returned to normal. I do not see this as any issue except caused by vpilot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, vPilot is certainly involved, but the fact that it worked fine in every other version of P3D (and in FSX and MSFS) suggests that it's "caused" by something that they changed in P3D v5.3. Have you tried disabling the add-ons yet? Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Lee Posted December 7, 2021 at 12:20 AM Author Posted December 7, 2021 at 12:20 AM Not home but late last night it also happened after departing in another area as I approached Orbx Bilbao and continued all through Spain as I cruised south. so am I supposed to disable all my scenery not flying to and sode also?

Ross Carlson Posted December 7, 2021 at 02:02 AM Posted December 7, 2021 at 02:02 AM I'm just suggesting disabling all add-ons because it's an easy way to quickly check if one of the add-ons is causing the issue. If that's the case, you can re-enable your add-ons one-by-one to see which one is the culprit. Again, I'm suggesting disabling the add-ons, not uninstalling them.

Victor Cardoso Laureano Posted December 13, 2021 at 07:45 PM Posted December 13, 2021 at 07:45 PM I've suffered similar issues around EDDF (twice the sim would freeze for about 30 seconds) and today the SIM completely frooze/crash over LSGG trying to set squawk in FSLabs A320. But I'm new to VATSIM and that can be a coincidence. I haven't see this issues when flying offline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Shearman Jr Posted December 14, 2021 at 02:23 PM Posted December 14, 2021 at 02:23 PM Just to rule out user error -- can you both confirm that you have NOT selected some high-end add-on as either (a) your default model-match or (b) a match for a very common aircraft model such as the A320 or B738? If you fly over an airport and suddenly your sim is trying to spawn in 30 PMDG 738's, that could easily be a framerate-killer. Make sure only low-poly AI models are used for matching. Might not be the cause, but, just a thought of something you might check. Cheers, -R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Lee Posted December 22, 2021 at 06:34 AM Author Posted December 22, 2021 at 06:34 AM It was scenery with P3D5.3 freezing with sloped runways sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
