ANSWERED NZQN, black buildings and strange texture of the water along the shores

[Handie]

Hello,

 

I come to visit Queenstown and I found a few buildings whose texture is black.
What is wrong ?

 

Furthermore, along coastlines, I find that the water has a strange texture, too bright with streaks, Is it right ?

 

Thanks.

 

PS: Excuse my English, I'm French

Have you installed the very latest ORBXLibs

[Handie]

Yes, of course

I have the very same Problem...... i did installed the latest ORBXLIBS too. I also recycled between Default and Oceania a few times. no success

[Martin Henare]

We did have some problems in testing which we thought we had fixed regarding FTX Global.

I suspect there is a sequence issue with the order in installation. I will get the beta team to try to reproduce the issue and find the correct solution.

Just regarding the water. That's normal, it's ripples in the water from the photoreal imagery, it must have been windy on the day they took the image. How much they show depends on your water settings. I was trying to retain the shoreline and look of the shallower water near the shore.

I will see if I can make some adjustments for an update I will do later this year.

Thank you for the reply, I will wait for a solution for buildings that have a black texture.

For your information, I do not have FTX Global.

Congratulations for your work

One of our Beta testers installed in this sequence

Installed Orbxlibs 130909 prior to installing NZQN

Loaded FSX, verified Neil's FTX NZSI - NZQN was present (the update included with NZSI).

Installed FTX NZQN

Cycled FTX Central from Global-Hybrid (where it was set) to Oceania and then back to Global-Hybrid

It's an issue with our autogen programming so we do some further test to iron out this issue.

I have noticed a similar issue.

 

If I load NZQN in Oceania mode, I get some black buildings (only a handful).

 

If I reload NZQN in hybrid mode, the texures all seem correct.

 

This is the first issue of this nature I've experienced. I reinstalled the latest lib to be sure but same issue.

 

Cheers

I don't have Global, so the only button besides Oceania, North America and Europe i have is Default.

When i install Regions, I always Switch to Default.

But wehn I install Airports, i previously select the Region they are in and then i install them.

That's what i did here aswell.

switchted to Oceania and installed NZQN and then the new Lib.

[Handie]

I do not understand what to do to avoid having black buildings.

 

I do not have FTX Global.

 

I put the FTX Central to "Oceania" to install NZQN then I installed the latest library as requested.
I then activated, in the FTX Central, "Default FSX", then I turned back on "Oceania" and I went to visit NZQN in FSX.

 

I do not know what I should have done more ...

Nadine,

As stated by Martin we are aware of the "issue" and the whole Team is working on it to get it resolved asap, we are all mere humans so we need a bit of time to track down what is causing this I sincerely hope you can relate to that

[Handie]

Ok Wolter, I thought Martin gave the answer in his post #8, but I did not understand what he meant and wanted me to do.
If the solution is sought only now, of course I would wait patiently that it be found.

 

Edit : But your answer was not very friendly (if I well understood it)

Edit : But your answer was not very friendly (if I well understood it)

Well, his answer was very friendly.

But maybe just a language issue, as you are obviously not a native english speaker.

[Handie]

So sorry, I misunderstood the translation ...

[Wolter van der Spoel]

no worries Nadine

[Handie]

By starting FSX with the line "ShowMissingTextureAlert = 1" in the fsx.cfg, 5 textures are reported missing :

 

CRICKET GROUND.DDS
JAR_COF_LANDREGISTER_LM.DDS
OLD DEPOT.DDS
BLD_Australia_Red_1.dds
BLD_Australia_Red_2.dds

 

The last two textures are however present in the "texture" folder of FSX.

 

If it can help

[Handie]

Hello,

 

No news regarding the black textures of the buildings ?

Thank you
