Ned Posted March 19, 2019 Report Posted March 19, 2019 Upon starting the 900 and proceeding to Take Off , XP crashed. The log.txt said the reason for the crash was Sky Max Pro. I restarted XP, disabled SMP and no problems until I was at cruise altitude of 22,000 ft and the sim crashed again.The log.txt said the the crash was caused by OpenGPNS by Saso Kiselkov. I am not familiar with this plug-in nor do I have it installed. Both XP log.txt and TBM 900 log.txt attached. Log.txt TBM900_Log.txt Quote
Goran_M Posted March 20, 2019 Report Posted March 20, 2019 I'll pass this onto Saso, but to me, it looks like GPWS crashed because it was reading corrupted scenery. I'll let him know, though. Quote

Ned Posted March 20, 2019 Author Report Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) Just updated to 1.1.7. Upon opening the outside sky is constantly flickering and when I try to activate the power bar it immediately shuts back off. I disable SMP and the plane and scenery returns to normal. Power bar stays open and plane begins normal start up procedure. At this point I shut the plane down. SMP has never caused a problem with any other aircraft. Should I download a new version of SMP? Attaching log.txt. I went ahead and downloaded a new version of SMP and RWC. Again, clouds are flickering, as soon as SMP disabled plane functions properly. Log.txt TBM900_Log.txt Edited March 20, 2019 by Ned added new content Quote
Goran_M Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 If the crash bar comes down by itself, then that is something in your hardware assignments. Double check those. As far as SMP causing flickering, that's a strange one. I also have SMP and am not seeing the flickering. However, it could be something to do with running on a mac. @sundog any ideas? Quote
sundog Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 Flickering? Can't say I've seen other reports of that. If it's the whole sky, you might try changing the sky in SMP from Hosek-Wilkie to default or some other setting of your preference. Could be there is something in our sky shaders that your OpenGL drivers on your system doesn't like for some reason. I'd also try reducing the "cloud area covered" setting to see if it's just a matter of running low on VRAM due to too many clouds being present in the scene. The only Mac-specific errors in SMP I'm aware of involve very rare hardware failures of GPU's on certain models. Quote

If by hardware assignments you mean a joystick or keyboard assignment I do not have any mapped, just use the mouse to grip the crash bar. The SMP has me stumped. It just came out of the blue when I loaded 1.1.6. Never a problem prior. I have read Sundog’s post and will give those suggestions a try. Love the plane, but these problems have me scratching my head. Quote

Goran_M Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 Can you check what your reflection detail is set to? Quote
Ned Posted March 21, 2019 Author Report Posted March 21, 2019 1 hour ago, Goran_M said: Can you check what your reflection detail is set to? Reflection detail set to minimal. Will also post this screen shot on Sundog. Don't know that you can see the flickering, but this is after I followed Sundog's suggestions. Quote

sundog Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 Honestly at a loss - the only other thing I'd try is reducing your graphics settings to disable HDR for example. Your video memory does look pretty tight based on what's shown in your SMP settings. Beyond that, it might be time for a clean re-install of X-Plane and the add-ons you care the most about. Quote

Will keep that as an option. The thing that I can’t understand is the the flickering clouds only occur with the TBM 900 loaded. I am sure that is a “graphics hog” but no problems with the Jar A320, which was the only one that caused my FPS to drop to 25/30. Getting 55/60 in the default 172 and steady 30/35 in others. Quote
Goran_M Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 It's probably due to the use OpenGL in the TBM (Rain, Ice, AoA indicator) doing something with Skymaxx. Problem is, you are, so far, the only person experiencing this. I also have Skymaxx, but am not seeing this problem, so it's a bit of a mystery. Quote

While it is somewhat of a distraction, I will try to fly with the stuttering clouds to see if I get a crash. Wish now I had saved the log.txt that said SMP caused the crash. There is no way to retrieve old log.txt’s is there? Again I appreciate all the time everyone has spent with me on this. Edited March 21, 2019 by Ned Additional comments. Quote
Goran_M Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 No. They get overwritten every time you start X-Plane or start a new flight. Quote
