Re: Navigating the Vulcan

First flight in the Vulcan Nigel (well first successful one anyway). It's quite impressive isn't it; easily the best of the simulated Vulcans to date.

Re: GPU Error Crash Fixed

By switching to HDMI I no longer have a Tdr issue in MSFS. Nor did I have an obvious Tdr problem with anything else, even with the use of the Display Port (no graphics reset messages). I suspect something in the MSFS code is at the root cause of this one.

Re: A Useful False Dawn

Hi Ben, I have an NVidia card and I didn't know about the Windows shader cache. I'll include that as standard practice from now on. I have a standard 2070 so I don't believe I'm missing out by using the HDMI port so I'll keep the new set up

Thanks for the info - it all helps.

A Useful False Dawn

How many times has this happened (lots)? It turns out that the Tdr fix was yet another red herring, but a useful one in this instance. After turning off TdrWatch I was getting weird errors (black screens) in MSFS, which often required a reboot. These were happening frequently and without any discern...

GPU Error Crash Fixed

Finally. After getting back from my travels and hoping for a miracle fix (there wasn't one), I finally did what I should have done months ago. I inserted the TdrLevel parameter, set to 0, into the registry and also set the TdrWatch value to 0. For the first time almost in living memory I got a full ...

Re: Dreaded GPU Error Crash - Anomaly

Thanks for that Ben. I deleted Windows Shader cache and noted an immediate improvement in run time durations. Also discovered that the TBM really does not like Wattisham (or vice versa) and both are the standard off-the-shelf versions. Get the TBM within sniffing distance of Wattisham and crash. Tri...

A "unique tri-jet configuration"? There's someone who hasn't done his homework. And a 727 with winglets!
