X-Plane 10.10b4 Blank MFD

[Brian Plumb]

Looks like the primary MFDs are staying blank. Even tried reactivating.

That's why they call it "beta"

NVIDIA GTX580

Going to try to reinstall and see if that makes a difference.

No luck - I really should avoid being on the bleeding edge.

Does your screen look like this:

or this

All I had to do was start the engines, on my machine XP10.10Beta4 with CRJ-200 Ver:1.45, Windows 7-64bit and EVGA GTX580 (GeForce 301.42 Drivers), XP in HDR Mode.

OK so the typical - let's reboot the computer and see what happens actually fixed it. I did have a heavy scenery area loaded on the first attempt so the graphics being overdriven may have been part of the problem.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Problem occurred again in a high scenery area. Decided to reset to default and put everything back into place I had before except I adjusted the texture resolution from Very High to High and that seemed to fix it.

Apparently the other thread with the graphics demand on XP 10 seems to be causing the problem.

Thought I'd send another update -

I noticed I had the Gizmo plugin in the "plugins" folder (directory). So I moved it out and sure enough on 10.10b6 all of a sudden I have the PFD's back.

Thanks for the info.

Hit or miss, and you may have got lucky. This has not worked on most anyone's computer we have told to attempt this with, and again, dumbing down of scenery settings has cured the issue. 64-bit will alleviate much.

Thanks for sharing your finding in your circumstance, however!

Well the bad news is the problem is back and I'm 99% sure it is graphically related. I have the NY area scenery from the .ORG which has some pretty heavy demands outside of the autogen. At night the demand must be less and that is when it worked. During the day on my last test it didn't. Areas which have higher framerates appear to work better.

The good news is at least it isn't Gizmo.

Okay, two separate issues here:

You bought the CRJ at the org: You don't need Gizmo

You bought the CRJ at X-aviation: You absolutely need Gizmo. If you remove it, some displays simply won't show

About the displays disappearing when you're under high graphical load: that is totally possible. The displays are rendered off-screen and blit into X-Plane on-the-fly while it renders the cockpit. If there is no memory on the GPU left where I could copy my displays into, it will simply not paint anything.
