ENBR and ZonePhoto: Loading Issues (time)


Recommended Posts

Hi guys! Hope you all are doing well? First, thanks for making Norwegian airports in X-plane happen. Been using them for years for both XP and P3D, and I love that Aerosoft is doing so much for our small country in the north. Thanks! 

 

I have an issue when using Ortho from ZonePhoto and loading Aerosoft ENBR Bergen 1.03. It takes from 12-14 minutes to load. I can live with this issues without any problems, but it only happens in Bergen and when used together with ZonePhoto. 

Usual loading time for a tile with ZonePhoto and a custom airport is about 1-2 minutes. ZonePhoto with ENGM takes 1.40min, so I'm scratching my head wondering what the issue might be.  

 

Scenario 1: Loading both: 10-14 minutes

Scenario 2: Loading only ENBR: 1:22

Scenario 3: Loading only Ortho with default airport: 1:15

All scenarios without any other custom scenery activated 

 

More info:

  • The loading order is correct. See attached scenery-pack.cfg for more info. (gotta love xOrganizer for making adjustments a lot easier ;o) )
  • It looks fantastic once everything is loaded. No issues with the scenery or the Ortho. Frames are stable between 60-90FPS. All is good except loading times. 
  • I've tried to disable all custom scenery, including X-europe. See scenario 1-3 for loading times without custom scenery. 

 

I could generate my own tile using Ortho4XP with the instructions provided and the elevation-file, but I prefer using ZonePhoto to save time and effort.

 

The log file below, includes X-europe and other addons as well, but rest assured, when disabling all Custom Scenery, the loading issues is still there. One thing I do see, is that it loads several ortho-tiles. Loading time for those are marked in bold.

i7 running around 4.8/4.9, 1080Ti and 32Gb ram. Nvme-ssds for everything. Defender-exception for the entire parition running X-plane. No issues running TrueScenery in any region at medium/high settings, and loading time for Seattle (with ORBX) is little over one minute. Settings included below, but cange in settings (especially world object) has no affect on loading time.

This is really strange. Have you tried setting NVidia threaded optimization (in the driver control panel) to on? This sometimes solves strange issues and this one is really weird.

Thanks FlyAgi, good suggestion, but no luck. Should've mentioned that it was already tried, but with no luck. Currently I have disabled the airport and are living with the default for now. Any more suggestions will be highly appreciated :)

Is there any news on that? I also have that problem with the latest version of Bergen. The version before worked just fine with both, ZonePhoto and Aerosoft ENBR enabled.

If I enable the Mesh that comes with ENBR, the long loading time is gone - but I lose the orthos for the tile, obviously.

Did you try to create a tile with ortho4xp for the ENBR tile? There is an ortho4xp patch file included which seems to work fine for me and orthophotos are pretty good in this region with GO2 source (BI is bad here). I'm currently creating more ortho4xp tiles for the region but so far I had no issues with Bergen, Ortho4xp tiles and X-Europe 4.4, my loading times were pretty good actually.

So you have the mesh that comes with Bergen disabled as well, correct?

I have not tried to build my own tiles with Ortho4XP for southern Norway yet, because I think the ones from ZonePhoto are fantastic. It's actually the only region in Europe for which I downloaded the tiles instead of building my own, because they are that good. They are from a norwegian image provider I have not yet managed to get working in Ortho4XP myself.

No, I did not disable the Bergen mesh, i just put the Ortho4xp meshes on top so the Bergen mesh is not loaded, I got a coverage of 4x3 tiles all around Bergen and this worked fine, no loading issues, orthoquality was quite good with GO2. Using only the one zonephoto tile for Bergen I got about endless loading times too, using ortho4xp tiles was no problem.

Thank you. I will give it a shot with GO2 as well then.

It's still strange, though, I have never seen any problem like that. There must be some weird interaction between the ZonePhoto tile and the airport.

Hi, all issues with loading times and compatability was solved redoing the tiles using Tom Knudsens excellent guide for Ortho4XP in Norway. xOrganizer set the priority-order, and now everything loads in mere seconds. His source is colour-adjusted USA2. Not the highest quality available (ZL16) but the colours match perfectly, so I advice anyone experiencing issues trying his guide. Sorry for the super-late reply. Had forgotten about this forum completely!
