Strange things happening
« on: May 24, 2020, 01:28:14 PM »
Since today everytime I start the flight in cigar box the sim reloads the scenery. After reload sometimes the time of day changes. Here is a video (pwd is cigarbox):

I have no idea what causes that and how I can repair it.

Any ideas? Did you ever see that?

     Yes, I did notice that mine reloaded the scenery upon starting the flight today.  I didn't notice the time change though.  It wasn't as noticeable as yours, if it did change.  :-\  I was surprised to be ending the leg at dusk though.   ???

Yep, weird that cigar box when starting a flight (that is already set up in the sim), is actually causing the sim to reload the scenario. No idea why.  Maybe we're offering free Avgas and we're filling the tanks free of charge? Nice thought but nah. not idea why. But at least after finally connecting and after the scenario reload, it working fine for the duration of the flight.

(Just figured out why the sim would restart when the user Started a flight in Cigar Box.
(It is a matching time setting in Cigar Box which forces the sim to change/match the starting time as is outlined in the flight schedule.  It got turned on after Henry reloaded the Cigar Box Module). (I turned that switch off so there will be no sim adjustment of time to match the flight schedule)
