Hi Falcon409 (and Henry???)

I have a few questions for you.

1) Do you use UTX Europe?

2) If yes, have you used the "Add/Change/Remove FS9 Style Wave Effects" feature?

If yes, then I may have an explenation for the poor performance in the Copenhagen area. This quote is from an old thread on the SimForums UTX forum about changes in the terrain.cfg caused by this feature:

Actually it wasn't the wave animation effects causing a problem but more the lack of them.

In discussion with Allen on this, we think this could be a new FSX 'anomaly' uncovered here, so I'll explain further.

When you have something like a coastline defined in the terrain.cfg, you can specify as one parameter that it can have an effect (waves) associated with it. If you want large waves then you have the line

Effect=wavecontroller

if you want small waves i.e. for inland lakes, you use

Effect=lakewavecontroller

Now when you use the UTX Setup Tool to set the wave effect to none, it was changing the parameter to read

Effect=

As I discovered, it is having this entry with nothing after the Effect= which causes the FSX scenery engine to choke and badly impact framerates.

The workaround is therefore to make sure you have one of the two wave controller effects listed (which is the quick test I did with you), or, if you have no wave effect then remove the Effect= line completely.

We'll be looking to put in something in the future to make sure that when you have no wave effects selected via the UTX Setup Tool for one of the coastlines in the list, we'll not leave an Effect= line with no value and remove it instead.

Jeff

I hope that this will solve the problem for you.

Regards
Kim
