Yes I havent had smp installed for weeksdue to this issue. Correct, gpu can not be replaced aside from a new logic board. However, I do not think it is Hardware issue. without smp installed I experience zero x-plane issues nor any other visual issues on osx. plus the imac is big and heavy to lug to apple and wait a week for a repair.

i have 32gb ram now, would more help?

I think it is software, it is a high end iMac with 0 issues with anything else I do as in i don't see my gpu being in failure, perhaps just being over used.

cloud reflections on water- also makes the cloud shadows flicker on the water

my imac fans are running super high. upon loading with smp installed but less with default laminar weather i am going to lower the cloud distance amount and see if that helps/ i also noticed quite a lag time when moving the slider bars on the smp menu to change items

hi Frank, this is still occurring in 4.5 i removed my other plugins, toggled shadows ON and OFF, no difference. real bummer, all was fine many months. i hope i am not out a paid product im on the most up to date v11 and smp Log.txt

ok thanks for getting back to me.

Hello, Frank did you see my reply to you? Thanks

ok i removed other plugins except soundmax , however i also tested between real weather turned on vs make your own weather, & i am not using rwc. results: real weather vs default weather = no difference-same issue default vs 3rd party plane= no difference --- for now, i will go back to default x-plane non smp weather, my imac fans also runs higher with smp, even on initial loading. xp 11, imac. defaut 737, payware ksfo. HDR off

Hi Ben, funny, it's chicago. nope. I'm about to do some testing now ----

A fair amount of others. I was planning on removing them abd testing 1x1. However, this did not occur until recently. Ive had this setup for months. I will wait on the smp update too, and my imac has AMD ,gpu , is that impacted by heavy work load? Like i said tho, ive been using the same work load +32gb ram for months.

hey guys any idea what this issue is, and how to fix it? it is not my imac at fault, if i uninstall smp, theres no issue and theres no issue with the imac anywhere else- thanks xp 11 , 2015 retina high end 27" imac,

hi cameron and Ben, is there a way to have this applied to real scenery downloads? How do you fully uninstall/remove Real Scenery products? I have State of Washington,I used the uninstaller to remove the files, but nothing changed in sim when loaded it back up? I would imagine you would just remove the real scenery folders from the custom scenery folder; problem is 1) what is the point of the uninstaller if it does not do that? and 2). there is no list to cross reference to know which folders to remove? I was hoping to redownload it this morning upon the good news email, but no luck. Thanks guys

Thanks for your time looking into it, I did file a bug with Laminar. and for now, I will just do without water shadows, because the above ( and I agree) next step, is just too Time consuming with no guarantee.

added to DB. two new videos and log txt. outside of Chicago and also Tallahassee FL, default md-80

let me go try that-

I keep getting errors on uploading the images

yes stand by thanks

hi, on v11 beta 8, smp v4 when shadows on water are enabled- the shadows flash see video I disabled. shadows on smp water and it stopped HDR on x-plane itself has nothing to do with this as far as I can tell IMG_0202.m4v X-Plane Installer Log.txt

Thank you Sundog

I had this issue also, but not related to xaviation products, something with laminar, i made a bug report. for me for example, if a plane crashes sometimes, i cant access the menu bar

Hey there, I submitted a support ticket, but wanted to post my topic here also to see if other Mac users have this issue. Mac sierra / v11 public beta as of todays version/ sky max pro 4.0.1 the images are the same, except for the top one has cloud shadows enabled, while the second does not. enabling seems to cause directly or indirectly graphical distortion- this is the erj 140 payware plane from x-plane.org store. I have not seen this on other planes yet that still persist, the challenger 300 had this too but by removing the materials ng folder, the issue was solved for the 300. The erj does not have such folder, and i did some more testing, thus my result is shadows on= bad off= good Log.txt

same issue here for smp v4- but sutffit expander solved it also thanks
