Bic1 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I was checking out various cities. Various cities have been great so far, then I came across this in Cairo, Egypt: I'm not using DX10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bic1 Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Some more notes on this, as you get up close, the Mosque's are larger than other buildings. Also, at times, the building sides slowly change from black to white and then back to black. I tried changing bufferpools to 1 from 0 and adding the memory settings, but this did not help. I even tried turning various slider details down all the way, but the buildings still showed up. I verified my nvidia settings are ok. I went to Dubai and Riyadh and did not have these black buildings show up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fassamlij Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I tested Cairo and Alexandria and saw nothing like this. Might be an idea to run the installer again. (ensuring no other programs are active on your computer). Try a default FSX.cfg. Interesting problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bic1 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 I tried just one click with DX10 and restart of FSX. The buildings have a little bit more detail like blueish color and maybe some sort of windows at the airport (they were black and turn white as I fly around in DX9). As I fly over Zamalek ISland, the white texture actually becomes a Global texture that looks ok. I'm wondering if it's a performance problem and my hardware just is not up to it.

Wolter van der Spoel Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 looks like textures are not loading, make sure your AV program is stopped and then re-install FTXG* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bic1 Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 I tried reinstall with c:\ excluded in Microsoft Virus Scanner (it's nearly impossible to stop the service). You can see my FPS becomes very low 8... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 did you run the installer as Administrator ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bic1 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 I tried again with MS Antivirus off and ran as Admin the install, still same problem. Is there any sort of log the installer has that I can look at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bic1 Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 I was looking in scenery config editor and saw a couple errors, are these normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bic1 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 I think I am on the trail...I think this is some Egypt Scenery that I added a long time ago and it looks like the config might be messed up. I readded the scenery library that I found on disk and it looks like some f the buildings are appearing, but they are flashing on and off: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bic1 Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 I was looking in scenery config editor and saw a couple errors, are these normal? The Cairo scenery is fixed now I fixed two of the missing defaults, so now I have two FTX Global's that have errors. What directory should they point to?

Bic1 Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 I found the Egypt files in the main scenery folders and deleted them. So it seems like that is cleaned up now. I also cleaned up two of the four scenery directories that were empty, but I still see this for the FTX Global ones. What the right directories?
