Scenery Objects partially not (re)loaded

Dear all,

being with MSFS from beginning on, I would describe myself as an experienced user. I had to deal with a lot of problems over the time and could finally manage them all, mostly by researching in forums like this one.

But now I’m struggling with a problem where I don’t find answers and have no more ideas: Since some time (not sure exactly since when), I experience that objects of addon sceneries are not being reloaded anymore. I will describe a typical scenario which I can simulate at any time: I start a flight at an airport (in this case EDDH from Simwings), do my preparations and when looking around, all objects are there. I take off, fly a pattern and all objects are still there (e.g. all of a freeware harbour scenario at Hamburg like cranes, ships etc.). I return to airport, do a fly over, fly the same pattern again and now most objects of the harbour scenery are gone. A few objects pop up randomly, but most of them remain gone. Returning once again to airport, tower and a few buildings are missing as well. Same for multiplayer aircraft, starting the flights, I can see them all, after a certain time, I only see the name tags but no planes anymore. Sometimes they return after some time, sometimes not.
Another example: After some flights I arrive at the destination and there are no buildings. Starting another flight at the same airport, all buildings are there.

My hardware config:
Motherboard - Asus Prime X370-Pro AMD | CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 4GHz 36MB | GPU - Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 | RAM - 32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX

Temperatures are high now in summer time, but still in range (e.g. 65°C for GPU); RAM is used around 65-70% under full load, CPU just 25%. GPU of course nearly 100%.

I’ve played already with the graphic settings but no result. It seems to me that something is “braking” the system from loading the objects, but what?

Yes, I have many 3rd party addons (pay- and freeware) but I never had such issues over the last 2 years like that. What did I try until now: Try to fix the addons with the ModelLibChanger, deleted the SeceneryIndexes folder. Deactivated addons I’ve added in the last weeks. No success. I’ve completely run out of ideas. Any advice/help would be really appreaciated. Many thanks and best regards

Stephan

You can confirm whether this is an addon conflict or not by starting the sim in Safe Mode.
To do so, with the sim running, use Window’s Task Manager to shut it down.
Start the sim again, it will prompt you whether you would like to start in Normal or Safe mode.
Safe mode disables all addons, both those in Community Folder or from the Marketplace.
If the issue is gone, it is a problem with an addon somewhere.

Thanks for your reply. The problem is that the issue is only with objects from addons. Trees, autogen buildings and WU-objects are not disappearing. But it brings me to the idea to backup the Com folder, start with an empty one and just install one addon and check it there.

If you have a fair amount of addons, add them in groups.
When the issue re-appears, you only have a few to remove and retry.
