JakenWu Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I have just downloaded the TE Washington HD version. While I was flying I noticed that there are black square mesh patches showing up at serveral different locations within the TE Washington region. The picture shows what they look like. I have tried verify the files, and it seem like nothing is missing. Is there a solution to this? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakenWu Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 And here are my log and scenery files Log.txt scenery_packs.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Is there anyway you can assist in telling me where to look for these black squares. Grid reference? Nearest airport to depart from and then heading? In the meantime I have slightly rearranged your scenery_packs.ini to optimise the Orbx addons you have. scenery_packs.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I can't locate every single one of them since they are just scattered around the whole scenery, but here is a picture of the mesh around the Seattle area. Hope this would help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Thanks. Do you have the option of Backups enabled in Orbx Central? The attached pic shows where to look and the location a backup will be stored if that option is enabled. If you do have a Backup, please move it out of that location to a place on the same drive and then run a Verify Files again. If you have a backup when you run Verify Files or do a reinstall it will read from the Backup files and not from the Orbx server . The backup may be corrupted some how.

JakenWu Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 Will do. Do I also need to clear the backup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Yes it will do no harm if you don't want backups. You can also just untick that option. And yes, clear Temp as well, and reboot PC. Completely fresh start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakenWu Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 I just tried the methods above. Unfortunatly the black mesh still exists. Is it possible that it has something to do with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakenWu Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 Also, I found out from another post that there might be conflict with Oregon TE and Washington TE. Could this 1024 and 2048 chars cause a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I don't thinks so. That is just a report about library objects that are now redundant. I need to contact the dev for him to comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentry11 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Could you attach a screenshot of your XP Graphics settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sentry11 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Are Graphic Drivers up todate? MS Redistributables installed? Can you try using Vulkan rendering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakenWu Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 Yes. All my drivers are up to date and I have MS Redistributable installed. I just tested with vulkan on, It showed no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentry11 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Output / preferences / X-Plane file -- delete. If using Vulkan in Output / shadercache / vulkan -- delete numbered folder inside vulkan folder If using GL delete shadercache folder, Restart PC, & XP & reset your Graphic Settings from your screenshot.

Sentry11 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 In the XP Settings "Data Output" Menu, Tick the Lat & Lon box as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakenWu Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 I have followed the steps above, but its still the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentry11 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 One last thing, bump the texture setting in XP's Graphics settings to max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakenWu Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 Still can't solve the problem should I try a clean delete and re-install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentry11 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Well, I have run out of suggestions, maybe a clean delete and re-install would be worth a try. Make sure you follow Jon's instructions in doing the re-install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I agree that a complete uninstall and reinstall may help. I am still waiting for the Dev to return my mail for comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, this wouldn't cause black squares, it's a missing 3D object for the roads.

No, these are HD/SD textures for the POI objects and nothing to do with the terrain/black squares I see 2 possible causes: 1) Corrupt install. These look like single DDS tiles that are missing or corrupt (due to their size and dimensions). It does look like a corrupt install, but the odd thing is nothing is showing in the log that would indicate they were corrupt. 2) Do the tiles eventually load or vary at random? If so, then it's not likely to be a corrupt install but rather a driver/disk problem. Black tiles can appear when XP can't load or find a texture.. I'm leaning more towards a corrupted install or DDS tiles that failed to convert. As Jon has suggested, you may need to do a complete wipe and reinstall of the scenery, including deleting the temp folder and backup file as instructed.
