active Inland Water Textures - Global Basic?

[Ariel]

I've got a strange problem with inland water (lakes/rivers) textures not working properly, which seems to be restricted to New England (!).  Roughly Boston across to the Hamptons is where I have it.  Lakes will have missing textures, leaving black patches.  See the pictures attached to see the effect.  If I get really close to one, it will reluctantly fill in with the water texture, which then goes black again as I fly away.  The black areas seem to have a contiguous straght edge across lakes, if that means anything.

 

This is on P3D 3.4.9, but it was the same in my previous FTX  installation.  In this area I have only Global Basic and Vector over the default sim scenery.  It strikes me as I write that I may have some faulty textures in the files I originally downloaded, I suppose.  That would be a pain as the new Central download speed still seem pretty bad.  The fact that the missing bits do show when quite close puzzles me.

 

Any ideas, or will i have to try that?

I'll try the pictures again:

And again...   (sorry about this - I'm getting old).

I too am having this issue and mine is on a clean install of P3D with only ORBX products installed so far.  No additional addons as of this moment.  I also had this on my previous build 3.3.  I am on the current latest and greatest P3D v3.4 release but as stated I had seen this in my previous install.  Not sure what the cause of it is but as I said I have nothing installed at the moment but ORBX.

Here are my pics from one area with the black boxes.  This is just after takeoff testing out ESSA.  Only ORBX products installed as mentioned in previous post.
