When in the air, buildings are flying by me.

This only happens near certain airports. When I am flying anywhere between 5,000-10,000 feet I see buildings actually in the air flying by me. Weird. Does anyone know what causes this?
 
Envious houses who think they can fly, LOL, sounds like maybe a mesh problem.
 
If it happens only near major airport, then I think this is because your hardware is not up to the settings you choosed. Most likely, in the fsx.cfg tweaks, your Texture_bandwith_mult is too high, or your bufferpools has an inapropriate value, or simething like that.

When I was experimenting the various tweaks values, I had often the case that autogen trees and buildings would appear in the air all around me, together with black peaks and very bad performance.
 
Were you flying in south Louisiana ? Buildings have been known to fly down here...:isadizzy: Actually, I have had the same thing happpen several times, I just figured it was one of those FSX things...

Building don't fly by in Louisiana, they float by! :d

It's definitely a mesh issue, I have them too, also have buildings in the water.

Oh well, pretend I'm in my youth and just been to Jamaica mon. :icon_lol:

Nudge your settings to the left a notch and see if that helps. When the sim gets a little overtaxed it forgets to do things, like clamping autogen down to the terrain. Having addon mesh will contribute to this. On my (now) mid-level system I can easily replicate this by hitting autogen and scenery to Extremely Dense, coupled with the mesh work that I'm doing.
 
This used to happen to me too after flying awhile in dense autogen areas using an 8800 GTX graphics card. It would begin heating up a little, usually around 74C, which is actually a modest temperature for this card. But after a couple of years of service, the card doesn't seem to tolerate those temperatures as well as it used to anymore.

After replacing the fan block on the card with a Coolio Accel cooler, temps dropped to 45-53C, and I no longer see houses floating with me at my altitude anymore, or even slightly above the mesh.

Ha! No it's not the booze talking. :kilroy:

Ok, I will lower the settings slightly tonight and see if that does the trick. Also; yes, it is only a select few airports (major airports) when this occurs.
 
If you're flying in the US, it could be all the dying houses going to heaven? :engel016:
 
i had that last night, everything on max.... it was ok until i tried to re load a saved flight and then i got all heck...including houses in air, houses in water, no land..had to move chopper (Coastie Huey) out to sea and then fly back...

now i know it is over stress to the system, i got a FX 7600 and it was gasping for air :)
