That is good . I have also read other reports of the CTD on the developers site which spawning issues . Give it a shot. Thanks for the input .
I didn’t have 9C as a departure option with the FSDreamteam scenery, but I tried 10C. The first time I thought it was going to crash as I went to TOGA power, but it turned out to be a massive lag instead. No crash with city in view. Tried a second time and had no issues whatsoever. Also tried spawning in at RWY 4R at Midway and also had no problems. Hopefully since this has been reported on the developer’s site, they can figure out what is going on and get a fix/workaround for you.
Thank You glad it works well for you. Did you try to spawn in at a gate though?
Just spawned in at one of the C Gates. Ran into the issue where I was getting an incessant beeping, but no crash. I’ve had the beeping thing before and it can be resolved by signing out of x-box live and then signing back in again. Did that and spawned back in at C17 this time with no issues.
Have you tried renaming your community folder? I had some issues with FSDT Key West awhile back where free-ware add-in file name conflicts were breaking the loading so KEYW didn’t load. I wonder if it is possible that you are getting a partial load which is resulting in the crash.
Did not rename my community folder or sign out of Xbox may give it a try and see if it works ! Thanks for the suggestions.
I wanted to just use the drone from KMDW to check out the scenery and I got report of an A/C crash (not CTD - crash) while slewing towards the downtown area for a closer look. Also had weird issues loading the new heliport as my departure where FLY NOW would gray out and it would put me at KMDW when it did load. Something is definitely amiss - I shouldn’t have a crash while using the drone camera from a parked A/C. No problems with FSDT alone prior to this install.
Yep the there is something very wrong here in this scenery add on many others having CTD issues as well. Let the developers know about it.
There is a temporary fix for the CTD issue if you look to where you purchased this. Works good so far .
So no FPS drops with this scenery? I tried the free chicago sceneries just released on nexus and the performance of those are terrible. Had to take them out. But this looks incredible and will purchase if it runs smoothly.
Thanks @JackMartin7440. The fix is temporary as it wipes out the Vertiport Heliport, so they don’t have a permanent fix for this yet. The temporary fix is available here (copied from the Drzewiecki Design forum post discussing this issue):
Please put THIS FILE into drzewieckidesign-chicagolandmarks\scenery\world\scenery (overwrite the original file).
You are welcome! It works flawlessly now for all who have this issue until they update! Cheers
Maybe 1 or 2 FPS on my end nothing major. It’s worth every penny the scenery is spot on and gorgeous
Fix was already released late this afternoon. New D/L file available (or thru OrbxCentral).
EDIT: I can confirm the scenery works beautifully. Departed FSDT KORD from C30 en route to KDFW and had a beautiful climb out looking east.
Yeah this is stellar! So glad bought on Orbx too. Imagine waiting for the fix in Marketplace.
What is the new version number?
I’ve stepped away but it’s either 1.1 or 1.01. I think the former.
What are your specs? FSDT KORD is one of the best payware optimized airports in this sim!
This fix with the replacement bgl file isn’t working for me, still CTD.
It’s a Razer gaming laptop. 10875h (8/16) core, 2080S maxq, 32Gb, 1Tb NVMe.
Render scale 70 out of 4K. settings on High.
Normally I get a very constant 40-50. The only exceptions are CDG, KORD,and Chicago scenery addon. I will get 25, 20, 16 respectively. NYC and LAX will drop to 30.
Edit - I’ve been doing some more testing this AM. For me, it seems like there’s something with the boats in the bay by Navy Pier maybe? I made some more setting tweaks, I can now hold 40+ FPS from FSDT KORD through DD Chicago skyline, but just as I pass the skyline west to east, my FPS drops from 36-40 to 16. If I turn north and come back around north to south over the city, FPS seems good too. Strange.
