Problem with corrupted 2D panel popup windows


jfri

Recommended Posts

I have just bought the simcheck A300 and while trying it out I rather frequently have this problem. When in 2D panel I chose to view a popup panel its display get corrupted seemingly a little random. Sometimes after a while the corrupted display disappear after being closed and reopened some times. I have seen the corruption appear immidiately after openiung the panel and also after some second or so getting corrupted. One time it happened when I pressed a button on the panel. I use Win 7 x64 with latest nvidia drivers.

I think it happens to often to be accepted. See the pic below for an example

Hi Jfri,

Have you tried to uninstall/reinstall the plane?. Sometimes this help to correct the mistakes.

Regards,

Alex

I have tried that now and unfortunately it didn't help. The problem remains the same.

Hi,

This is not something I have ever seen, looks like there may be in issue with your graphics card or driver or something.

Don't have a ready answer here...

Björn

I'm not alone. In avsim someone replied that he also got this problem. Also this is similary to a problem me and many more encounters in the Level D 767-300.

Hi,

Out of curiosity, did anyone from Level D come up with a solution for this?

It must be some setting that is specific to an installation/graphics card but definitely not to all.

Björn

On the LVD 767 support forum the thread is marked as solved but that's something I can't agree upon. I would rather call it suggestions that may or may not work and some workarounds. The suggestions are

1) Use an older videocard driver (very old)

Not acceptable. Using a much dated driver is going to create other problems

2) Disable anti aliasing

I won't do that. It looks to bad

3) Disable a 3D feature

Found one 3D setting in NVIDIA control panel that might be reffered to here. Disabling that didn't help.

4) Press ESC twice

Although this will repair the corrupted display I find it awkward and a great inconveniance. And it needs to be done fairly often.

I actually think this could be a hardware problem with the graphics card.

I find that very hard to believe. So far the corruption is only visibe in couple of addon planes in FSX. All other FSX use and FS9 and other gamnes don't exhibit it. I'm not alone other with different systems have it.

So it is definitely not a problem with the A300

Any proof of this?

Okay but at the same time we got a few thousand customers who do NOT have the issue so it has to be something local on your machine and as you written it happens to different aircraft.

I have seen the problem before (not with this aircraft though) and in those cases it was corrupted a graphics memory controller. That is why I proposed that. The effect is that the rendered screen in memory starts to loose exact location and items are copied below the original location. That that only happens during certain conditions could very well be because this is a graphical intensive aircraft.

First I might point out that the corruption looks similar to what I experienced in LVD 767-300 but there are differences to the proble. In the A300 it only occurs in 2D popup panels but not in the VC (which ought to be most graphic intensive).

I don't think there is as simple one thing that causes the problem (like a specific bug in only A300). But I do consider hardware failure in my videocard to be out of question.

BTW here is a link to the LVD 767-300 thread

I also got a reply in avsim in my thread specific to to A300

You say this plane is very graphic intensive. But one thing I liked about it is that performence seem better than for example LH Maddog. And PMDG 737NGX is that not also very graphic intensive? The problem arise in 2D panel but not in the VC. Shouldn't it be the other thing around if the problem arise because of intensive graphics.

But you and the other guy never came back to answer question the user CoolP was asking.

I can't check this behaviour at the moment as a backup is running on my machine, But I'll try to make a screenshot later.

Well I can say that I didn't have Highmemfix=1 in fsx.cfg but I have added it now. I have switched between 2D panel and VC while using the A300
