Jon Clarke Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 No matter what settings I apply, whether default or enhanced, I get big black texture flashes on the water or ground sceneries of FTX Aeropelican and also Melbourne. I have tried raising the priorities in the scenery library e.g I put Aeropelican as No:1 but still got the flashing. It doesn't last too long, happens particularly at the onset of a flight and is most visible from Outside View. Any ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ White Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Hello, expect this thread to be moved to the payware support forums. Could you put up some screen shots of the problem so we can see what you see. If you need help uploading screen shots follow this link http://orbxsystems.com/forums/index.php?topic=1316.0 Black flashing squares on photoreal ground textures are normally an indication of system memory exhaustion, what are your system specs?

Jon Clarke Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Hi Russ. Win7 64bit, GTX 285, 6Gig Ram, I7-975 extreme. Regarding a screenshot I will try later, but as you can see by the specs I should be OK. It happens most with autogen set on also with GEX but not with real photoscenery.

John York Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Just a thought but LOD Radius set too high can be the cause of black squares. For FTX I find it's better to stick to the default 4.5 even with 6 GB RAM. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ White Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Nice system, much more powerful than my setup, lets wait until the screen shots are up and take it from there. Quite often things become apparent when looking at a screen shot of a problem that can be missed in conversation. Cheers, Russ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolter van der Spoel Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Hi, Did you get all SP3 downloads the payware ones are available under your FlightSimStore account and the freeware ones in the freeware section you use GEX, maybe you inadvertetly forgot to set FTX back to default before installing that, some possible causes: mixed up installs defragmentation scenery order priority as for screenshots, with fsX the "V" key captures the screen, it creates a folder .............\My Pictures\Flight Simulator X Files, where they can be found as .BMP you need to convert those using a proggy like IrfanView or the likes to the .jpg format to bring down the mere size of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 I will check that I have ALL SP3. Would this potentially cause this effect? (it only last microsecond, hence really difficult to get a screenshot) Cannot remember regarding installing GEX but I am pretty certain I loaded REX & GEX before any FTX or other addons. Defrag is 0% Scenery order... advise me please as it was Ozx 3.0, Ants Airports, then Airports, then my payware airports(ymml etc). I have tried and currently have ALL the payware airports sitting on top of the priority list to see if that helped. The screenshot was taken (you can click on it to enlarge) with total default FSX settings as per the tool FSX Go by Orbx, I only changed framerate setting. It looks like a clash somewhere similar to finding out that you have to have Tongass Fjords above FTX or you get a similar effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
