Jose Vela Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Why does these nasty wrong-textures squares appear all around? Any advice? I have Prepar3D v4.3, ORBX Global, Europe and Vector. Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermank Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 This is a response to a similar problem...perhaps this advice will help you. by stacking, I think the poster means the order your scenery is set up in FTXC. hope this helps Sherm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Lincoln Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Hi, I have removed the Avsim link for support shermank. Jose, please provide coordinates of the exact location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Vela Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 Shermank: thanks for the advice. Richard: It happens everywhere so I don't think it is related to any precise location. I also have instaled Envtex and Envshade. Could it be related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Hi Jose Before Richard gets back to you please ensure the following: 01.- Check you have your libraries in FTX Central updated 02.- Check you have the right insertion postion in FTX Central. The FTX entries must go below your very first addon and your Open LC entries below FTX as in these pictures: 03.- Then finally ensure you don't have a third party addon causing a conflict in the area you are fliying. For Exampla Fly Tampa Toronto causes black textures with orange. this is becasue their LC bgl's have to be disabled by putting them off. Try this first while you wait for a reply from Richard. I know you are following a post I made about the Netherlands (for which we haven't been replied yet) but my post is kind of different to this of you. I suspect you can fix it by checking all this. Good luck Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Hello Carlos, about your topic on the blue shapes off the coast of the Netherlands, I am beginning to suspect that no one has answered because no one knows the answer. You might try removing the addon but it may have no effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Lincoln Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hi, You could try, back up and delete your .cfg file, reboot the sim and let it generate a new one, worth a try also is your Terrain cfg as described below, it wont hurt to try. Please report back with the results. It kind of looks like a Water/Blendmask gone wrong, but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hi Nick & Richard Nick I did suspect that too. Thanks Richard I have recently done that both deleting the cong & the terrain one but.. I could give it another try.. If I reinstall The Netherlands do you think it might solve it? Or would it cause a mess after all the changes done to merge FT? I haven't tried this as the NE is too heavy and takes too long to download but if is it safe to reinstalled after the merge I would try it too. I'll first put FT off as per Nick's instruction and will test Thank you for replying I'll let you know Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I reimtall NE would it help? Regards, Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermank Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 in re freemesh, from what I have read, including the Freemesh site, this is a direct quote: FreeMeshX is officially supported for FSX, FSX:SE, and all versions of P3D (including 64-bit P3D). FreeMeshX should be placed above the default terrain entries in the Scenery Library, and below any airports or FTX Regions or landclasses To me, that means Freemesh should be below all of the LC files.

Jose Vela Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 hi the orbx sort trick didn't work. any other suggestion? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Hi Jose Do you mean that after checking all the above you still have black textures? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Vela Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 Yes, Carlos. Still weird texture squares (not only black). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Vela Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 can it be related to envtex? I've got it installed, I have changed all textures and now it looks ok... does it make any sense to you? Thanks!

carlosqr Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Hi Jose I couldn't tell. I don't have Envtex, but I have the impression it is working for you now. I was going to suggest another option Hope all is fine with you now Y de nada, con mucho gusto Saludos, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Vela Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 Which was the other option/suggestion? Gracias! José Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Hi Jose If the problem persists I would recommend to delete: Shaders folder Prepar 3D Cfg file and terrain file The restart the sim for it to create these files again. Once launched close it, then start FTX Central and the start the sim again. I'm pasting here a post from Elaine related to textures issues, that might help: Also, here is a quick test you can try, This will not effect any of your 3rd party software. Note: Please read the complete post before carrying out these steps. Delete the following 4 generated files and folders. These will generate again when Prepar3D is launched. You will just need to adjust your graphic \ scenery settings again to your preference via Prepar3D > Options when you delete the Prepar3D.cfg file 1) Prepar3D.cfg file. 2) Shaders folder. 3) SceneryIndexes_x64 folder. 4) Terrain.cfg file Copy the 3 set's of Tex below and Paste them into your windows search bar, One by One and click on the result, this will bring you directly to the correct locations 1) Right click and Delete the Prepar3D.cfg file %APPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 2) Right click and Delete the Shaders folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 3) Right click and Delete the SceneryIndexes_x64 folder. Not the Scenery.cfg file C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\SceneryIndexes_x64 4) Right click and Delete the Terrain.cfg file %PROGRAMDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 Note: Launch Prepar3D to the splash screen, Then Close it down again. The files and folder will generate again as default. Now Launch the FTX Central control panel and wait 15 \ 20 seconds and close it. This will reconfigure the Orbx entries in the terrain.cfg file. Then launch Prepar3D and test Hope it works if not then I don't know what else to recommend Suerte Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Vela Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 I will try. Gracias! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Vela Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 Now it is working but I am pretty sure that reinstalling envtex textures did the "magic". Thanks a lot for your help and support. Best regards, José Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
