First:
I opened this report as probably several of these issues are reported, maybe with a different background.
I here now just report about that bug which result in an endless loading screen after hitting “start” in free flight, BUT(!) the workaround is to reduce LOD to 10!
Again: maybe other endless loading scenarios do happen, but ith this post I only want to report this specific.
ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
When setting up a free flight and hitting start, the flight does load endless. Rotating circle on the lower right, ESC on the left.
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
No, but happens with several addon airports, mostly with large amount of PG around.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
reproduceable, 100%
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
- set up a free flight
- press start
- wait for loading
However, it probably depends, where you load.
One example is at Aerosoft EDDF airport, JustSim EDDS, just to name a few examples.
It just has occured with SU1 beta.
And the frustrating thing is, that is has reported several times and have been vorted, but the bug has just been ignored
Workaround:
works here 100%
- Press ESC at that stage if you encounter the endless laoding circle.
- Go to settings in the upper right (gear wheel)
- Reduce your Terrain LOD to 10
- save end back
- Press start flight again
- Should load now nearly immediately
so, issue has sth to do with LODs.
And AGAIN: was not present for me before SU1 BETA.
