RobdeVries Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hi guys, I'm stumped. I have the high res cockpits and repaint loading without a problem, but the default dds of e.g. the cessna very slow loading when changing views...? Any one a idea of the cause Best, Rob Processor:Intel Core2Duo 6850 2x3.0 GHz Mainboard:GigaByte P35-DS4 Memory:G.E.I.L. 4GB DDR2 KIT Retail (2x 2GB 800mhz CL5) Video:XFX 8800 GTX/575 768 MB Power:OCZ StealthXStream 600W Harddisk:2x Seagate Barracuda RAID0 WinXP Pro SP3 FSX SP2/Acc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolter van der Spoel Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 first time I looked here must honestly say I haven't got a clue as to why the Highres textures would load faster as the lowres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ White Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 If certain textures are taking time to retrieve when they should be really quick, i would look at doing a defrag on your FSX drive. The time delay is most likely the seek time involved when your hard drive is moving the read/write heads about to source the textures you requested, due to fragmentation, this seek time is much longer than it should be! See if that helps mate! Russ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 DDS textures are far more efficient in FSX that the old FS9 DXT1 BMP textures, so if anything, they should load faster. Sounds like a defrag issue to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
