zero Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hi, I am having a weird problem with texture corruption in the Iceland demo around Reyjavik. It happens in both P3D and FsX. No one else is reporting the problem so I presume this must be unique to my system. I have looked around the scenery a bit but the problems only seem to occur in two places, specifically, N64 7.36 W21 46.31 and N64 7.24 W21 46.30. I wonder if perhaps someone else could check these locations. I have tried to post screenshots of what I am seeing but I cannot get the thing to work. I have read the instructions about how to post a sceenshot and I have successfully uploaded the images but I cannot find a way to include them in this post . I have absolutely no idea what this instruction means, "Click on that code in your actual own window and it should highlight, copy the text." I don't understand what 'your own actual window' is referring to. Every time I have tried to follow the instructions all that get copied is the address of the two images not the images themselves. Clearly, this is me being very dim but I have no idea what to do. Adam Mills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Harris Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hi Adam, When you upload a picture to the http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/ imagehost you'll be given several links, its the 'BBcode' one you need to copy-paste into your reply here Hope that helps Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hi, Thanks for your quick reply. When I get to the screen 'upload complete' I can see the two images and above them two boxes the one on the left containing a drop down list including BBcodes. I select BBcodes and then highlight the addresses of the two images and then paste them into the reply this is what happens. . I don't understand what I am doing wrong here. I must be missing a step but I cannot see what it is. Adam Now I am feeling really dumb - what I was seeing before I posted was the text address of the two images I didn't realise that they would not appear until I actually posted. How dim is that? Anyway, the two images show the texture corruption that I am seeing at the two locations in Reyjavik, so I have no idea what is going wrong. I have set up the scenery sliders according to the recommendations but even changing them doesn't seem to effect anything. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 any other scenery installed that could affect things, UTX, GEX, Iceland X to name a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 did a check ride at given location seems you are missing a texture there, please run the latest library files again to see if that resolves your issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hi, Thank you for your reply. I ran OrbxLibs 130927, I think that's the latest library file but with no luck, I still have the same problem. Would it be worth downloading the Iceland Off demo and testing that to see if something in FTXG has got messed up? Cheers, Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 You have a terrain.cfg error showing there. If you have UTX, please run its config tool again, make a small change, then exit. It may solve the errant entry in terrain.cfg which is causing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Thank you for your help. I do have UTX but I don't know how to run the config tool. Do you mean by the 'config tool' the Ultimate Terrain X Setup Tool? Do I go into the terrain drop down menu and click on 'Restore Ultimate Terrain to Initial Settings'? Secodly, you say, 'make a small change' but I do not understand what small change I am supposed to make. Sorry to be dim, but I am struggling.

zero Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Hi, I have run the UTX Setup for both Europe and the US made a small change so that the setup tool runs and presumably rebuilds the terrrain.cfg file. Unfortunately, this has not worked and I am still getting texture corruption. As I mentioned earlier, this is occuring in both FsX and P3D. Wolter mentioned that the corruption might be the result of missing textures, so I re-installed the Iceland demo but to no effect, so might this mean that something is amiss with FTXG textures?

Wolter van der Spoel Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Hi Adam, looking at my end it is a "golf course" so for one or other reason it is not showing up at your end, could you please try and disable the UTX scenery in your fsX scenery control panel see if that makes a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Hi Walter, Well, I tried disabling UTX and I re-installed FTXG and the update and following that the latest OrbxLibs and I removed all the scenery entries above the Orbx ones so now the Orbx entries are at the top of the scenery library. And, still the same! No idea what to do now. Cheers, Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Hi, I've figured out what I have been doing wrong. I have been looking at Iceland with FTX Central set to Europe. Once I set it to Global everything was fine. I assumed that the Iceland area was part of Europe, as per the illustration of the forthcoming LC areas - this was obviously a mistake. Anyway, thankyou for your help. Regards, Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
