mattius Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I may have cocked up my fsx. I did have GEX Europe installed. I did not uninstall this as I assumed & reead somewhere thsat FTX Global would overwrite the textures. I therefore installed FTX Global. It all seems fine except black squares in non FTX scenery. I enclose 2 x screenshots to demonstrate my problem.... 1. Taken @ Innsbruck 2. Taken @ Jahalabad in Afghanistan Many black squares... Turning off DV10 preview does not help. Seems to be a missing a texture file? Any help would be very welcome!! Thanks. I have FSX Global selected with Orbx tress & Hybrid mode selected.

mattius Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Turning off DX10 preview helps most textures. However I still have problem with some airport taxiway signs being solid black on the rear? Suggestions....?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 for the DX10 issue the Team is working on patch, as for that the RWY signs are black at the rear is correct, isn't any different in real life. http://www.faa.gov/airports/runway_safety/news/publications/media/QuickReferenceGuideProof8.pdf http://www.aopa.org/Pilot-Resources/Safety-and-Technique/Operations/Runway-Signage http://www.nevadadot.com/uploadedFiles/NDOT/About_NDOT/NDOT_Divisions/Planning/Aviation/Documents/Airport_Directory/Aviation_AirportDirectory_AirportsSignage.pdf http://www.airliners.net/search/photo.search?album=7268 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattius Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 With respect DX10 preview is definitely off. The back of the sign definitely seem to be missing a texture as the black is too uniform. Is it worth deleting & rebuilding the Shaders directory?

Is it worth deleting & rebuilding the Shaders directory? would be an option, but I doubt it will bring any, see attached screenshot, I've tried to figure out where you took the screenie, I guessed it is Sion, if that's wrong then 'm sorry must also say that I can't remember seeing them look different, unless it was a dedicated scenery, to me they look as the stock ones that came with fsX, but I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattius Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Someone has posted on Avsim that the back of ALL there taxisigns are grey????

Wolter van der Spoel Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Well he must have some addon that makes it so, in all the years I've been fiddling with fsX I haven't seen 'm differently, with exception of some dedicated sceneries where they where adapted to the scenery to portray that in the most accurate way.

mattius Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 <p>OK, Thanks for your help. Don't you think it's odd that their textures look as if they are missing? Someone posted one of their taxiway signs which look more 3D..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 to be honest, I'm probably so used to them in that way that I just don't notice that anymore ..... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sht00 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I've got the "little black squares" issue too. I thought I had screwed something up myself so I completely uninstalled FSX and started from scratch but as soon as I applied FTX Global...*bam* little black billboards all over the daytime landscapes. I understand that a fix is supposedly coming. Is there an ETA on that and is there any workaround in the mean time? It looks pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plainsman Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 ORBX England is not a solution to the black squares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plainsman Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I hope the moderators don't get too pissed at me, but I don't check this board every day. I could miss an announcement. Was the PERMANENT fix for the black squares/lights problem in DX10 released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Not yet. The fix, I gather, is not to be by FTX but by Mr. Parsons. In my limited experience of this forum, announcements are generally pinned to accomodate casual visitors such as you and I. Regards, Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you are correct and it does get pinned here. I don't know this Mr. Parsons or how to find him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
