See my comments at bug #385: For some people, removing the "<instrumentation>" section from aircraft "fixes" the issue (or renaming it, which is effectively the same). Otherwise, adding even more stuff to the section, such as the radar also seems to help. This could be a timing issue, since people seeing the issue obviously need to speed up or slow down the phase of initial aircraft loading. We already know that FG doesn't receive a Window resize event when the issue happens. But we don't know why this only happens with the ATI, only with their driver versions 11.5 and above, and only on Windows. One hope is that using a newer OSG library might fix the issue. The latest OSG release is still 3.0.1, but there have been a number of fixes to OSG, including the modules handling GraphicsWindows since. So, it'd be interesting if someone seeing the issue tested FG the latest OSG trunk version. If this doesn't help, then it really takes someone using a debugger and investigate what's happening to the resize event. In any case, randomly adding or removing stuff to aircraft files isn't a solution. Of course, it's ok for anyone to change things locally as a work-around, but nothing acceptable for FG in general. cheers, Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
