850 et MacPro intel

[milan]

Le version 8.50 (même en RC1) me provoque un kernel panic :evil:

[Daniel_L]

Tu as regardé dans le fichier log.txt ? Il n'y aurait pas un plugin qui traine ?

Autrement, il ne reste plus que http://dev.x-plane.com/support/bugreport.html

Salut,
Regarde dans la console, le dossier utilitaires, tu verras le fichier qui pose problème.

Apparament ce serait un bug de la carte graphique (bizarre par ce que la version 8.40 ne crash pas)

Voici le mail de Ben


Hi,

This email applies only to Macintosh users who own the new MacPro and a
GeForce 7300 GT card and are using X-Plane 850. If you do not have this
machine AND this graphics card, please ignore this - this only applies
to a small select group of users.

There is some kind of bug with this machine that will cause it to Kernel
panic - we are investigating this with Apple and nVidia. In the
meantime, here are procedures to fly with sun glare turned off, which
will avoid the kernel panic:

1. Start the terminal application - it is located in the Utilities
subfolder of your Applications folder.

2. Switch to the X-plane directory in the terminal by: first type the
two letters cd and a space. Then drag your x-plane folder into the
terminal...its full long name will appear. Press return.

3. Start X-Plane by typing something like this:

X-Plane\ 850.app/Contents/MacOS/X-Plane --no_pixel_counters

Please note that the exact name of your X-Plane app may vary; there must
be a \ beforea ll spaces.

If this works, not only will you not kernel panic, but there won't be
glare when you stare at the sun, and the log will show
--no_pixel_counters early in the log, like this:

Attached is a transcript of what the terminal will show when you do this

Pas de probleme avec la RadeonX1900XT sur un Quad Xenon 2,66
Que du bonheur meme :D

en fait il ne s'agit pas de la carte graphique mais d'un bug "apple"

voici ce qu'en dit Ben Supnic :

The crash is due to 850 because 850 uses a special feature to do the sun glare that induces the driver bug. The command-line option fixes the feature. Apple is working on the bug now, but please use the command line in the meantime.

Salut,
Je viens de recevoir mon MacPro 2,66 mais je sui encore sous xplane 7. La version 8 est-elle en UB ?
Amicalement

[malayolle]

oui

[milan]

Depuis la 8.40

Le bug est trouvé mais ça ne résoud rien pour un moment encore.
Voici le mail de Ben

Apple and nVidia found the Kernel Panic, it is in the driver; they will address it in a future system software release. Unfortunately until then you will have to run X-Plane with the --no_pixel_counters command line option.

En gros, le problème viendrait du pilote qui sera fixé lors d'une prochaine mise-à-jour système. Donc attendre....

Moi j'ai également un Mac pro avec 2 Go de RAM avec la 7300 GT je ne constate aucun problème sous OS X (200 frames/s parfois...)
En revanche sous Windows...Oui ! :-)

[milan]

on parle bien de la version 8.50 ?

[zarbi92]

Tout à fait, la 8.50.
