ikanber Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 Long pause on loading really make the sim uplayable on the online networks. Just Wondering is there any way to reduce it? TA-1033 cihazımdan Tapatalk kullanılarak gönderildi Edit: i was talking about auto mode. Quote

Just Wondering is there any way to reduce it? Expand At the moment, no. Laminar has a very specific way on how they allow scenery loaded in, and right now we're at the best solution for what they can offer us (we've worked with them over the last year and a half or so just to make it to this point). It's a fair thing to say that it's not great for online networks in Auto mode though. The only real option there is to stick to one season (which is not so realistic on a transcon). One thing at a time. We'll keep working away at Laminar as time progresses. They tend to work with us a lot so long as it's something manageable on their end too. 1 Quote

Expand Hey, I fly as well, but I have to admit I live in Florida and seasons here are not really pronounced. Since spring is coming in the next few months, you should take some nice real world pictures for us to consider this as an update. Quote

signmanbob Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 Hello Cameron, I believe you should at least put a loading meter to show the loading activity and how much is left. I have yet to sit and allow it to load fully. I always think that my sim has frozen up so I just Ctrl+Alt+Del and restart the sim. If I had some kind of a meter to show its activity, I might wait on it. Thank you, Bob Quote

We are not given information from X-Plane on how far along in the process it is, and thus we cannot relay that back to you at this time. Quote

Expand So it's more complex than doing a bit of search & replace? Also, since the current beta, XP ties (distant) ground lighting to the ground textures. Do those distant lights show with terramaxx as well? Quote

This is probably necessary because of the way how X-Plane's scenery works: It loads entire scenery tiles for an area, with mesh, streets, buildings, and so on. This simply takes as long as it takes and as long X-Plane's own scenery loading method does not change significantly, any texture-based seasons addon will have these loading times. It's not TerraMaxx' fault. Quote

Expand There might be a load on the server I'll check it out in a few.... I assume you are using a non-beta XP11? Prior to 10.20vr5 this issue exsisted on LR's end and was fixed. So if you don't get involved in betas it will be fixed when 11.20 goes final Quote
MSFS Ralf Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 Did my first flight with seasons today, from heavy winter in Cologne, moderate winter after crossing the Alps to summer textures at Split, Croatia. Yes, the loading times, but I gladly trade them in for having the seasons. Good job! Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk 1 Quote
daemotron Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 Just on my first flight with TerraMaxx, flying in deep winter along the Canadian Rockies. This really adds a lot to the immersion, love it so far! Now I'm looking forward to learning how to make my custom airport sceneries compatible... 1 Quote

For TerraMaxx Seasons to use there is absolutely nothing required to do other than just copy the folders you find in the zip into Custom Scenery. Quote
