For some reason the img tags never work for me, it's weird, but there you go (I used to run several boards, I know the syntax hehe)

I did look in event viewer first, nothing I could correlate unfortunately


Go here: www.postimages.org   and upload your image and click on the hotlink for forums options. It's free. And easy. No account needed.

Seems unlikely since this affects DX11 and not DX9 but might try turning off search indexing.

File Explorer, right click C, choose properties, uncheck the box.

Probably already mentioned but exclude the AH folder and maybe saved games folder from your AV.

I have fast SSDs so don't notice the indexing. If I were having stutters in any game I would kill that. Search indexes do come in handy sometimes though. You can also turn it off for certain folders.

Is the sim trying to display an image file it can’t find.

I found switching from version 11 (VR) to version 9 eliminated almost all of my game freezes

We're pretty much aware of that.  However, I find some gfx layers are displayed differently between the two, most noticeably (for me, anyway) ocean water when close, and how planes/icons seem to get pushed behind some cloud layers that are further away than the plane itself.

I’ve always noticed something similar with smoke trails from your plane. Sometimes when in exterior view on buffs the smoke trail will be behind a cloud but the coils is actually ahead of you. I have a screenshot somewhere I gotta find.

I've seen the same thing (dx11) at times on other planes.  It definitely has to do with how layers are displayed... haven't used dx9 enough to see if it's the same with that.   Wonder if VR users have ever noticed the smoke thing?

Found a pic. It’s an iPhone video of an AH video so not the sharpest quality. Sorry it’s so big.

FYI, Do it like:



Add a width attribute to the first part of the tag.

[img width=500]

Width is in pixels.

Does the smoke lead like that when all three planes are still together? Wondering if that's related to a missing plane.

I had all three planes. It’s happened a lot to me.

Happens with fighters, too.   And not always... not sure if map specific or view/angle specific or card specific. 

I do know I've seen it in dx11 and prior to the isp switchover last May.
