Issue:  Black Textures

 

Hi guys,

 

I will post screenshots later in the evening but I wanted to give you heads up on what is going with these Black Textures.

 

Here is how I started

 

1) 100% Clean P3D4hf2 Sim (all programfiles, appdata local/roaming P3D directories clean and rebuilt from Clean Sim install).

 

2) Visit KCJR Airport (Culpeper Airport)- everything is base P3D

 

3) Install Orbx Global and Library into the SIM root.

 

4) Verified Global and Library Installs

 

5) Sync Simulator from Orbx Central

 

6) Visit KCJR - Black patch around the airport

 

7) Then I was like maybe I need to install Vector - Installed Vector, verified install, and sync simulator again

 

8 - Vector is installed and Ran the Vector Config Tool.

 

9) Visit KCJR - see black patch right outside the airport

 

10) I was like maybe if I install Orbx Global Airport freeware b/c it has Neil's improved KCJR (he created this for me by request - always grateful to him).

 

11) Ran Vector Config tool 

 

12) Visit KCJR - same black patch - I am like WTF

 

13) Now I install openLC NA - verify install and run vector config tool

 

14) Go to KCJR and viola no black patch.

 

So openLC is filling in some patches when only global is installed - this is the problem and solution and at the same time.  So if a user doesn't have openLC then the black textures are there in those areas.

 

I will post all screenshots later in the evening today; just getting little worn out for discovering these little quirks lol.  

 

Thanks

 

 

 

PS -

 

Below is an observation from completely different clean install of the sim only about getting global installed outside the sim

 

Another strange bug is during another SIM clean install - if you install Global as first addon into sim and then Orbx Central ask you to install Libraries - and if you choose outside the sim - then global is installed outside the sim at the same time.  Weird logic bug

Update:

 

Very confusing - I did another clean reinstall - and this time I did notice that the GA Global airport pack's KCJR was causing the black texture - it is calling a city texture right next to - I even saw that in google maps real satellite image.

 

KCJR is requesting openLC NA texture - so that solves the problem.
