BushyPilotAU Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Hello Everyone, Just loaded AU2 the other day. Have flown into YMML and all the ramp is black, no surface texture. Everything else is ok, Buildings, Planes, traffic and ramp items, but no surface, just black. Have not seen any other comments on browsing forum, hence this post. First Post!! Looking forward to comments. Cheers, BushyPilotAU.
Nick Cooper Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Hello, welcome to the forums. Can you say which simulator you are using please?
Nick Cooper Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Thanks. Have you also installed Acceleration or the two FSX Service packs? If so, are you using the Preview Direct X 10 with the freeware fix?
BushyPilotAU Posted June 22, 2019 Author Posted June 22, 2019 Yes, FSX with Acceleration and the two service packs, and yes Preview DirectX 10 with freeware fix. All working well at YMML but update is as you see. Cheers, BushyPilotAU
Nick Cooper Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Hello, hopefully you don't have all of those, you need only either Acceleration or the service packs. However, the problem is the freeware fix. It fixes the Orbx lights but causes that problem as Melbourne which has been reported before.
BushyPilotAU Posted June 22, 2019 Author Posted June 22, 2019 Hi Nick, Thank you for replies. Just been playing around with time of day settings. Ramp black during day setting, but shows normal on Dusk and Dawn settings. Should I reapply freeware fix or do you have other suggestion?? Cheers, BushyPilotAU
BushyPilotAU Posted June 22, 2019 Author Posted June 22, 2019 Hi Nick, it is a we while ago for the setup on this computer!! Correct FSX with Acceleration is this install. Can you give me the link for the Freeware update you suggest. I had one from ADSIM a we while ago as well. Cheers, BushyPilotAU
Nick Cooper Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Hello, there is no point in reappying the fix, unfortunately the result will be the same. There is only the one available at the Avsim library. For years, I have used the payware Direct X 10 Fixer which solves this problem with the Direct X 10 preview, solves numerous other problems and provides shadows in the aircraft VC. There is also Cloud Shadows from the same developer, which does as its name suggests. If you intend to keep using FSX, I can highly recommend it but of course the choice is yours. The only freeware fix for the problem at Melbourne is to use the Direct X 9 setting instead, ie disable Preview Direct X 10.
BushyPilotAU Posted June 22, 2019 Author Posted June 22, 2019 Thank you Nick. I will explore the payware version. Have a great Day-night and weekend. Cheers BushyPilotAU - SE Queensland AU
