FlyInside black screen with certain aircraft

Postby LaughMech » Wed Oct 05, 2016 8:37 am

I have at least a couple of aircraft in my collection, specifically the Wilco Tilt Rotor and Virtavia V-22, which suffer from an annoying bug which makes them unusable with FlyInside. Basically whenever you load one of these aircraft into the sim in windowed mode the screen is just completely blacked out, although from the sounds you can hear that the simulation is running just fine in the background.

This is a known FSX issue with these aircraft while in windowed mode, and there is an easy fix by just pressing Alt-Enter to switch into full screen and then pressing it again to switch back to a window. The problem I'm having is that FlyInside crashes if I try to switch into fullscreen mode, which means it is impossible to ever fly these aircraft in VR.

Has anyone else encountered this issue and found another work around? Is there any chance we could get some sort of function for FlyInside to allow us to switch in/out of fullscreen quickly without crashing, just to address aircraft with this problem?

Anyway, otherwise FlyInside has been great and continues to get better and better.

There is a few aircraft that aren't compatible sadly. We have a list of working addons on here somewhere ? I think the windowed mode can't be adjusted as that is the magic. I might be wrong though and Dan is about Friday and should see this post. Welcome to flyinside :)

Mine also works fine in normal, fullscreen FSX - do you mean yours works fine with FlyInside too? If so, would you mind posting your FlyInside config file for me to look at? Perhaps I have some settings different to you.

One possibility is I do have a mod installed for both the Tilt Rotor and V-22 which improves (significantly) the tilt rotor flight model; I should try a clean install of them and see if that helps.

There is a fix for this, which I believe entails adding the following line to the panel cfg entry:
render_3d_window=0

It's been a while since I did this myself on a number of aircraft so I could have recalled incorrectly, but it can be fixed as I did it myself. There was a forum post here some time ago with the precise instructions so it's worth hunting it down.

Changing "render_3d_window" from a 1 to a 0 in the panel.cfg entry did the job - thanks very much! Looks like some A2A aircraft also suffer from this - perhaps worth adding this problem/solution to the official FAQ?

That panel edit solved my problem for the Steam version of Aerospool Dynamic, made by Lionheart Creations. I would love to see the fix in a sticky or FAQs as I burned a few hours trying to figure out why I was occasionally getting all black displays in my Rift. Thank you!

We do try to add aircraft compatibility but due to the huge amount of add-ons we hope that users post any issues they might find or equally, solutions ;)
