Blank Screen for KSFO/KLAX when I try use Openradar there

Postby jackbrownie » Sun Oct 19, 2014 8:05 pm

Hi,

For some reason, whenever I try to ATC at KSFO I get a grey screen on my openradar (in the window that shows the runway etc..) other airports work fine.. but KLAX doesn't work as well:/ at first I thought it was american airports but KJFK works fine?

Anyone got any advice?

Hi,
I reported the same issue on Oct. 6th and I have
not received any echo either. I then, suggested that perhaps
Gijs could give us some comments, but for some reason
he has not reacted.
By the way, besides KFSO blank picture I have experienced
flickering partial picture shutdowns in other airports after having
been connected for a few minutes.
Regards
M.Nieto

Are you using Mumble while you're on OpenRadar? I had your same problem last Saturday, deactivating the overlay in the Mumble settings window fixed the issue for me.

or try to remove the old KSFO and the KLAX directories out of the "OpenRadar/data" directories - maybe they got damaged somehow. And the only way to repair is to delete them - and then start OpenRadar again and "DownloadScenery" again.

If that is not working pls post the latest "log" out of the "OpenRadar/Log/log.n" (n for the latest number - see the date created at the far right).

Pls report if it is orking or not !

Well,
I am not really sure, but it seems to me you have either problems with

1) the FGCom settings: Try to disable the FGCOM in /OpenRadar/Settings by setting FGComMode to "OFF: No FGCom support"

2) java: Make sure you have a Java-version equals or better "Version 7". (see http://wiki.flightgear.org/OpenRadarGuide#Java_V7 )

Gijs could give us some comments, but for some reason he has not reacted.

Gijs is not an OpenRadar developer nor is he obligated to give you an answer.

besides KFSO blank picture I have experienced flickering partial picture shutdowns in other airports after having been connected for a few minutes.

That sounds like a graphics card problem to me.

But before we make any assumptions, we need more information from both of you. Like what OS and what graphics card are you using? Post screenshots if you can.
The more information you can give about your setup, the easier it will be for us to find a solution.

Hi, sorry; I missed your post...

Thanks for the log. It shows two issues.

(1) FgCcom frequency file not found at /Users/JackBrownridge/Downloads/Resources/positions.txt

For some reasons, OR seems to look for it outside of your OR directory. To me it looks lije, you started OR from somewhere else, not from inside its directory. Assumed, you have OR extracted at /Users/JackBrownridge/opt

You should start OR in the directory /Users/JackBrownridge/opt/OpenRadar/.

Would you please try that? I think you start it from /Users/JackBrownridge/Downloads/ ?

(2) There is a Nullpointer when the map data is evaluated, I will check this in detail and come back.

To Omega :
Tks for replying.
I did not mean to criticize Gijs in any way. On Aug. 29th 2014 in this very same forum, under '' downloading landmass issue ''
I reported having problems downloading openradar airports (getting stuck in landmass)
and Gijs kindly replied : quote '' One of the machines was down today for maintenance.
it has been back since an hour ago so all should be fine again'' unquote.
I did not know whether Gijs was an openradar developer or not but his reply made me think
that somehow he was involved.
I run W7/64, 8mb ram, Intel i5 3570k, GF GTX650.
The flickering partial shutdowns are definitely not a graphics card issue in my case.
I have replaced the GTX650 for AMD HD7750 and the problem remains exactly the same.
Besides, my openradar had been working perfectly until abour Aug. 25th 2014. when the faulty behavior started
I cannot post you the screen shots.

Wolfram, i have created a new directory; /Users/JackBrownridge/OpenRadar should this be correct?

I launched KSFO and still had the same problem

I can confirm your observation. This airport seems to be broken, because the map data seems to be incompatible for some reason. I am sorry and will investigate this issue.
As I haven't changed anything for a longer time at this code, I suspect that the data has been updated.

So it has nothing to do with your setup. Thanks for telling me!

If you disable the all layers but tarmac (see Edit below) in TWEAKS tab, you still can start this airport. But you get a grey background... I come back as soon as there is something new.
Wolfram

EDIT: DISABLE LAKES and URBAN layers in tweaks and it works here. The old files still work...

Hi,
Root cause was map elipsoid with only one point. (For those who are interested.)
This issue is fixed in next update. Sorry about that. Until it comes out, please disable the layers...
