Graphic issues on Bonanza P3d V5

[sioux565]

Well, I am suffering from the same big radio text and misplaced gauge lighting that was shown in the first post.

I did a clean install of v5 with no prior installation of v4. No other add-ons installed. I did get the DXGI_DEVICE_HUNG error, but this was solved by disabling the enhanced atmospheric setting.

GTX 1650 with 4 GB dedicated RAM. Screen resolution is 1920 x 1080. I checked my P3D configuration file, and the COCKPIT_HIGH_LOD line was at 1 already.

Hello sioux565,

If you're seeing the same issue, it's almost certain it's caused by the parameter being set to 0 in the Prepar3D.cfg. It seems this is getting set to false when the sim drops to minimal settings when VRAM runs out. In your case you only have 4 GB of VRAM and note the DXGI_DEVICE_HUNG error, so may be worth rechecking this setting.

Anyway, Lockheed Martin have confirmed they'll fix the value being set to 0 in a future build of P3Dv5.

Thanks,
Nick

Nick,

The value is set at 1 and I am still getting the big font.

Could you copy and paste the entire contents of your Prepar3D.cfg file here so we can check to see if there are any other odd entries?

Thanks,
Nick

I can't see anything obvious in the .cfg file content that will cause this issue, but I'd recommend that you delete it (after making a backup) and allow P3D to generate a new copy. If this doesn't help, please can you attach a screenshot showing your virtual cockpit displays.

Thanks,
Nick

[sioux565]

Nick,

Deleting the configuration files seems to have fixed the problem. Hopefully it stays this way. Thank you!

[Nick - A2A]

Thanks for the update and good to hear the issue is resolved for now, even if the cause remains a little mysterious. Hopefully it won't reappear, at least once you've downloaded the next P3Dv5 update when it becomes available.

Cheers,
Nick
