Dear all,
I realized a rather strange phenomenon yesterday: I have installed a bunch of FSDT sceneries (LSGG, LSZH, KLAS, PHNL and KJFK), which all work flawlessly in my FSX installation. However, I do not have KLAX installed, but instead using the modified AFD and OBJ library from Ray Smith, to enhance the default KLAX experience. But when I approach now KLAX (or if I start on KLAX, that's the same), I get huge stutters. My FPS do not drop, it is simply a monsterstutter lasting about 1 second, where the whole system is blocked, then about 5 second normal display, then the next stutter. First I was not really sure, what could be the reason, but then I realized, that the stutter always suddenly stops when on the upper right corner the message "Your trial time for KLAX has expired" is shown. WTF? I do not have KLAX installed, I never downloaded the installer to try the airport. So how can it be, that my FSX thinks, that I have KLAX from FSDT in trial mode active? No wonder I get those lags, if there is nothing installed but a trial period active... My guess: it has to do something with those annoying additional software tools you have to install when using a FSDT scenery (Couatl etc.). Could it be, that there is some error? That this tool somehow thinks, that I have the KLAX demo installed? If yes, how can I tell it, that I DO NOT have the KLAX demo installed?
Thank you for any hint.
regards
Chris
