stolowski Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 I'm experiencing a weird glitch whenever I switch between volumetric and old-style clouds in the cumulus settings menu: most clouds appear as black rectangles. I can reproduce it every time after reastarting XP and changing this cloud setting. The same issue was recored by Q8Pilot in his SMPv5 review here: https://youtu.be/coCjJadP774?t=1706 (at 28:25 and 32:34). X-Plane would also occasionally crash when turning volumetric on/off (followed by Apply), I think that CTD issue has a separate forum thread already. Attaching a screenshot as well as my XP graphics settings. I've 32GB RAM and NVidia GTX 1080 with 8GB VRAM (I thought I had Vulkan ON, but it appears it is with OpenGL, it didn't register switching to Vulkan due to a later crash when changing volumetric on/off). Attached Log.txt is from a session where black rectangles were visible after turning volumetric cumulus clouds off (no CTD this time).

sundog Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Have you updated to SkyMaxx Pro 5.0.6 yet? I think that fixes this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes (it's in the title of my report), I purchased SMPv5 last Saturday, so after that version was released, and my download was 5.0.6 already.

judeb Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Maybe try deleting the prefrences file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundog Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 There was a known issue associated with lightning (which I see in your screenshot) that I thought we had fixed in 5.0.6. We'll take a closer look here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stolowski Posted February 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 I'd just like to emphasize that this was reproducible only when switching cloud types and hitting "Apply", and in OpenGL. I don't know if Vulkan was affected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobH Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 I get the black squares in Vulkan as well so it's seems it's not limited to OpenGL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Me too. I get them in Vulcan on 5.0.6. This one was previously reported so I didn’t bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadgamer Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 I have the same issue, and it also seems to happen above custom airport scenery. I put in a support issue when v5 first came out, and it is still happening to me. This time, it has happened over KSLC and KLAS, and originally it was KLAX. Everyone of those are payware.....Do not know if that helps as well. If you look at my first posts, you will see my screen shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
