Go back to windows 7. Window8 is an abomination  destined to no different then then Windows ME. My new rig came as windows when

I bought it this past July. Had our annual get together and it crashed so many times during our meeting I gave up on it. Installed Win 7 Ult

and all is well again.  No more blue screens.  

 

Cameron can attest to this. He was here helping me.

Your opinion from your experience.

 

The only time I have ever seen a BSOD in Win7 or Win8 was during the development of overclock settings.  Win8[.1] is fine.

Is it someone who used Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 can tell me whether or not it works with the following tile:z+50+004_B_Bruxelles_bx17 from simheaven z17 or z+51+004_NL_Rotterdam_bx17 with simtiles?

 

Big thanks

I don't use simtiles or simHeaven scenery, but will this help?

You have contacted me via email and we've been working together toward a solution for the past week.

I have created a beta version for you to try and will create a new one soon to better detect the error you're having with your configuration.

 

I just noticed you posted about this on x-plane.fr, x-plane.org,x-pilot. I believe there is little need to post for additional help on all existing forums

 

As you know you're the only user reporting any problem and unfortunately I cannot reproduce it from my end, making it real difficult to help you.

I suppose it has something to do with windows 8. Windows8 whilst currently not supported is high on my to-do list.

Meantime I would highly recommend using windows7, it is a much more supported platform for flight simulation at the moment.

SimTiles v1.5.01 released!

 

SimTiles is now 64bit, this should fix the memory issues you've been having.

Lots of new features and improvements, most of the routines have been re-written from the ground up, it should now be more reliable, faster and more future proof.

Main new features are the 64bit version, useful for the memory intensive new HD v2 meshes, faster performance after a first one off scenery analysis,

and above all a nice one click change season for all photosceneries installed in your custom scenery.

 

Important, do not go back to previous versions of simTiles after you run v1.5.01

 

Please note, due to the limited beta run of v1.5.01, if you encounter any bug don't hesitate to drop us a line, bug fixing is high on our priority list.
