I think you need to contact X-Plane tech support, or better yet, try one of the user forums. (The user forums are often better because you might find someone with near-identical hardware as you have.)Benjamin Supnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886313844644521178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19727408.post-72491121640979330122011-07-15T01:09:08.475-04:002011-07-15T01:09:08.475-04:00I've tried your suggestions.

I've posted on the forum name = testriderchuck, cuuby's corner, where I've also described what I'm experiencing and what I've done to attempt a remedy.<br /><br />All this and I still get the auto fog after sitting on the runway for about 2 minutes, engine idling. So far I've spent about $250 of my hard-to-come-by dollars and have yet change the for for more that one X-plane restart.<br /><br />AND, i've tried 3 of your suggestions as listed in the blog.<br /><br />Any more idea's.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15980136741320538726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19727408.post-25218063198623961562010-02-11T14:45:12.228-05:002010-02-11T14:45:12.228-05:00Ben, for a change, no quibbles...you guys are doin...Ben, for a change, no quibbles...you guys are doing an amazing job! 60gigs...well, it is a rather big world. Opensceneryx should be a compulsory install too, that adds so much, as seen in my last shanghai vid in the org forum. My Core i7 920 runs xp verrrry sweetly, thankyou.

I will admit my knowledge of how x-plane scenery works is limited but I did have an idea.In fact you might be using it already. If X-plane renders scenery using triangles or polygons would it be possible to assign each triangle a numeric code that would tell the triangle its slope,elevation above sea level, its climatoliogical zone, the amount of moisture it recieves....ect,ect,ect. Then you could have a scenery JPG file for each numeric code.alloycowboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14429465662167808264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19727408.post-18652828684369320762010-02-08T14:29:32.454-05:002010-02-08T14:29:32.454-05:00X-Plane dynamically loads and unloads the scenery ...X-Plane dynamically loads and unloads the scenery according to the airplane's flight path. That is, there's a lot more 3-d detail near you than far away. To see this, pause the sim, go to free view, and go FAR away - note the lack of airports and roads.<br /><br />We do not adjust for airplane performance - rather we constantly try to maintain a buffer zone. If you get a really fast plane, a lot of scenery, and not a lot of cores, the 3-d can "fall behind".Benjamin Supnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886313844644521178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19727408.post-59577425207782113812010-02-08T14:22:32.716-05:002010-02-08T14:22:32.716-05:00Benjamin,

And if it needs further reduction you can add fog at that point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19727408.post-50144238842758204702010-02-07T15:43:29.648-05:002010-02-07T15:43:29.648-05:00Right - we don't provide the option because we...Right - we don't provide the option because we don't want your system to crawl. It's a support issue - once the sim gets slow, the flight model starts doing huge piles of horrible things that users refer to as bugs and splatter at tech support.Benjamin Supnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886313844644521178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19727408.post-17867709195525177272010-02-07T15:16:49.074-05:002010-02-07T15:16:49.074-05:00The irony is you give us the choice to jack up all...The irony is you give us the choice to jack up all of the sliders to a ridiculous level but you don't give us the choice to natively remove the fog (I have to download a plugin ... that's no fun).
