egkkman Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hello, I know this is a topic discussed before but, I have tried various fixes as described below without success. The area depicted is just west of Trondheim. Sorry fopr the poor quality, it is a picture taken on my phone from a projected image. The black triangle bottom right is part of my cockpit and not part of the image. This happened after I updated a programme called Black Marble (BM). I have completely disabled BM but the problem persists. According to the BM developer this is a Orbx issue not a BM issue (I don't know myself). I have reinstalled FTX Global, Vector, LC and libraries and as I mentioned BM is not activated and is off in the scenery library. The order of Orbx sceneries in the scenery library is as it should be i.e below all other sceneries with FTX above LC. Frozen Lakes is turned off. Any ideas please on how to fix this? Thanks very much Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Hi Dave Maybe delete the shaders folder and let the sim build a new set with a restart? Cheers Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Hi Dave Adding to Doug's suggestion, the folder is here: C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 In case you don't know or get lost Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egkkman Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 Hi Gents, Thanks for your suggestion and guidance. I have deleted the shaders, carried out the terrain.cfg fix and reinstalled Global Base, Vector & LC. Still the problem persists. I have switched from day to night and back, no change. With or without Black Marble the problem persists. I have checked other areas such as UK and the same issue is present. Any other ideas are very welcome.

Doug Sawatzky Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Dave For most others, reinstalling OpenLC fixes the issue, so it may be worth another try? Cheers Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Sawatzky Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Good call Carlos!! Thanks! Dave, you can reinstall the Orbx Libs by going to your P3Dv4\Orbx\User Documents\Versions folder and delete the "FTX_AA_ORBXLIBS .txt" file, and then reinstall the Libraries from FTXC3.

egkkman Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hi Carlos & Doug, Yes I did reinstall the libraries, sorry I forgot to mention this. I have found a troubleshooting guide written by Poppet. I have decided I'm going to work my way through the guide, step by step to see if I can solve the problem. Whether it works or not I'll report back here in due course. Thanks for trying to help, I do appreciate it. Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike stout Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Hello I am have similar problem in that my water (lakes and rivers) are black. At the same time the lake will have city night textures and even land textures super imposed over them. I read that I could deleted the library files and re-download them but I don't know where to find that file. I could not find it using the description above. Here is a screen shot of what I am seeing. Thanks Mike Stout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hi I read a post about morphying terrain. Let me search for it and share it here. It might help you as I really wouldn't know how to help you. I'll be back soon Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hi Mike Try this out It might help Also, do you have your Orbx and LC entries correctly set up in your FTX Central? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike stout Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Thank you Carlos! It was as simple as you said. I have had CRM for about a year but in the mater of a few days I added Jackson Hole Bozeman and Eagle County. I left Bozeman and flew into my home airport of KBOI and saw that Lake Lowell was alive with night textures and black squares. I did not look at Holger Sandman's answers but I will save it for later.. Thank again Carlos Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egkkman Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Hi, Very sorry for the long delay coming back with results, it took a while to sort out. I followed Poppet's guide, starting with the migration of the textures. Now I have to confess I had not used this facility as I should. The reason was because I associated it with the migration from FSS to the Orbx shop and assumed as I had done this it was no longer needed. Perhaps I was being a bit slow on the uptake but I think this could be more clearly described in Orbx Central. Anyway, the migration did not work I had missing files. This was very odd since I had reinstalled LC, Vector and Base files. After reinstalling all Orbx scenery and retrying the migration this problem was solved, why it did not work at first I have no idea. However the texture issue first reported was not solved. I followed Poppet's tutorial and in the end had to reinstall P3D Client, Content & Scenery and all Addons and Orbx to solve the problem. I don't know what the problem was but assume something loaded in textures that were not compatible for whatever reason. I know this is not helpful but what more can I say? I'm still tweaking to get things right but at least the problem is solved. Thank you for your guidance much appreciated. Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
