Nightowl Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Again I have to ask the FTX community for some help.I do have a problem within the Alaska area. For visualization I have posted a screenshot below.At first I assumed it was a problem related to my Tongass installation, but a deeper research into the problem showed it everywhere in the Alaskan region.As far as I can remember, the problem occured after I replaced FS SP2 by the Acceleration Pack.The blue textures do occure everywher in the scenery. The obscure mountains, watertextures and so on. When approaching the position of the blue texture, the "jump" into the distance and the normal textures are back.I have rebuild my scenery cfg, re-installed all involved addon scenery (PFJ, SAK and FSAddon PF), but nothing did solve the problem. I do not use Ultimate terrain or any (none FTX) scenery for that area except Achorage and Fairbanks from Aerosoft.I think the transition from SP2 to AccX may have caused the problems, but I would love to know how to solve this problem.I have posted the problem in the FSAddon support forum too, but till now, no joy on the issue. Therefor I am asking to a larger group of simmers for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hi Tino, did you install the Acceleration pack on a clean fsX or did you install it when already several addons where installed ? it is a known fact that the Acceleration pack should be installed on a fresh and clean fsX install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightowl Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hi Wolter, FSX Acceleration Pack has been installed after I installed addons. (bought the AP recently). so it could be the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hi Tino, I'm afraid that that could / would be the cause of your issue, sorry that I can not be of more help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightowl Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Thank you Wolter, however I am not happy with your answer ;-)Now i know what might have caused this, I will have to think about reinstalling everthing from scratch or if I am willing to sim without Alaska.

Wolter van der Spoel Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 sorry to hear that, you'll miss out on a wonderful piece of scenery, small advise for the future, make a backup copy of your complete install on a external drive, saves a load of pain and aggravation needing to re-install everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Maly Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Perhaps to try and run the "repair" ? Probably a long shot but better than to go through the reinstall rigmarole... And the usual switching back and forth in the Central and the latest libraries for good measure?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightowl Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Switching the different regions was one of the first things I did, not aware of the troubles ahead :SI haven't tried the repair option. Any advise which source I should use, the Accel pack or the original FSX DVD?And for Wolter, yes it is a great idea to backup the installation when all is running well again. For now it is "zinloos" as the installation contains faults. Maybe when I have lots of time, I will reinstall all over again. For now it is the lack of time which will keep me away from a re-installation of FSX with all addons. But you are right, backups are important and will save a lot of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 OK, easiest way to approach this, set FTX Central to default/Global run the Acceleration disc select repair let it finish it's thing and run a check if fsX fires up, there could/will be some error messages about missing scenery run the FTX Global installer again, do not make a back up as you already should have one from your original install. run the Global v1.1 update patch, run the latest library files that should about cover it imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirit_66 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 @Nightowl Never ever install Acceleration pack on a FSX SP2!!! You've to deinstall SP2 first and then install Acc. Try to deinstall Acc and SP2 and do a repair with basic FSX. After this install SP1 and then Acc. Maybe this can solve your problem.

Wolter van der Spoel Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Hi Spirit, thankx for the assistance, I'd overlooked the SP2=> Acceleration part, so in fact the install was crippled from the outset running the Acceleration pack after SP2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friedi Gulder Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Stop! If you install Accpack, you need either SP1 and SP2. Both are included with newer data in Accpack. Accpack is published about a year after FSX. That was the response I received from Microsoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightowl Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Thanks for the replies guys!I big releave to me is the fact I deinstalled SP2 before I installed the Accel pack. X. So I did at least something well SP1 was left untouched.The next thing I will try is Wolters suggestions. Will report back here. Maybe on Sunday, as I have to go to work soon, but I will report back the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirit_66 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 ..... If you install Accpack, you need either SP1 and SP2. Both are included with newer data in Accpack. Accpack is published about a year after FSX...... Hi Friedi, but SP1 doesn't do any harm for a later installation of an Acc Package. An already installed SP1 can't be deinstalled but the SP2 can be deinstalled. Spirit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightowl Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 Status update:The suggestions of Wolter didn't solve the problem. I will keep looking for the solution as Alaska is none flyable this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
