• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSX SbuilderX 30cm/px photoscenery stuck at loading screen

Hi,

I just wanted to try this high amount of scenery quality so went upto LOD17 (Zoom18 in sbuilderX) 30cm/pixel imagery.

Added areas to the map and exported.

Quite a large amount of area.

Exported 5 files with about 43mb of data.

But now I am stuck at loading screen when I select "fly now" from the same airport. What can I do?
 
any idea?

my specs are as follows;

i5 3570k (SC)
p8b75 asus mobo
16 gigs of ram
evga gtx 660ti
 
After you downloaded all the tiles you selected them in SBX and compiled to .BGL then copied to the Addon Scenery\scenery folder correct?
 
You don't define "stuck", so it's hard to gauge if you have a problem or not.

With the project I'm working on now, when I start FSX for the first time in a day I get stuck on loading scenery... and then a couple of minutes later the progress bar proceeds on it's way to 100%.

If you are worried about the files, try loading them into TMFviwer and see if they display correctly at the various LOD settings.

You do not say how large the file(s) are, but you cannot exceed 2gb within FSX, even though the Resample compiler will generate files of that size or larger.

The files seem to display correctly in TMFviewer. And there aren't any conflicting files as well.

I am sure the scenery will load after some time but it does take more than 20-25 minutes at least?

Takes lesser time when I use LOD 16 as max value instead of LOD 17.

Also the scenery seems to be blurred and takes up a lot of time to get back in shape when flying closely.
 
Well, your "stuck" is better than my "stuck", as mine takes maybe 60 seconds or a little more to get through all the files. There's over 2,200 in the project right now, but I'll be doing a recompile to make larger, thus fewer files.

If you have more than one file for the photo based work, I would start pulling one out at a time and see if the loading time increases or not. Sounds as if one file (or more) is causing problems and that file needs to be identified and investigated.
