MDBenson Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Hi. I am new to FSX and ORBX products, I purchased FTX Global, FTX Global Vector and FTX England last week and all seemed well until I started flying round the England scenery area. I am getting what I can only describe as some kind of vector 'corruption', where vectors suddenly spike out of the ground and turn pink/purple, usually around buildings. This behaviour is usually only visible in the Virtual Cockpit and has manifested in a variety of different aircraft both stock and add-on. At first it was just irritating but then I found that at Heathrow it causes phantom objects to appear near some of the terminal buildings that the plane then crashes into them. UPDATE: It only manifests with 'Preview DirectX 10' unselected, if I select 'Preview DirectX 10' and run the sim that way, the issue described does not manifest but there are instead a lot of blac polygons at ground level (maybe trees and streetlamps?)

John Dow Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 HI The only times I have ever seen this problem is when your video card is being overloaded. And it appears that the newer cards are no longer optimised for DX9, therefore the card works harder than under DX10. I was getting all sorts of artifacts a couple of years ago until I moved over to DX10. What are your system specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penzoil3 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Yep, graphic card problem. Might try an older driver... Or get Steve's DX10 Fixer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
