darrenkarp Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Hi All, Flying around San Fran Int. this evening I discovered that some of the trees were black blocks. If I fly using FTX Global with Orbx Trees everything is fine. I can only assume that there is an issue with PNW (I'm using the 008 latest version BTW). Can anyone help?

Alex Goff Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Hi Darren, Are you running FSX in DX10 Preview mode with the DX10 Fixer Tool? If so, those black boxes are the new night lights. DX10 Preview mode cannot render semi-transparent autogen objects so it draws them as black boxes. It's not an issue in FSX DX9, P3D1.4, or P3D2.2 but without the DX10 Fixer Tool the objects just won't work in Preview Mode. Regards, Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenkarp Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Yes I have Steve's DX10 Fixer and still have these black blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenkarp Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Here is an image showing the black blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenkarp Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 If I enable FTX Global without Orbx trees the black blocks are everywhere. Enabling Orbx trees fixes everything so I can only deduce there's something wrong with my installation of PNW. Anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Goff Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Hi Darren, Sounds like I misjudged this one, could you post a screenshot over a suburban/urban area? If it only happens when the "Orbx trees" box is unticked then the black boxes may mean you're missing a texture for the default autogen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenkarp Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 I'm going to try reinstalling PNW and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenkarp Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 well a reinstall and all the updates didn't help that much. A couple of the black blocks, near the runway at San Fran Intl. were now correct (a building) but there's still loads of others. Here's a screenshot.
