Wolter van der Spoel Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Did you install all updates and patches for FTX ENG Did you install the latest Library files Did you try switching FTX Central to default and then back to EU hitting Apply on both counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWilko10 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Interesting, not sure as I just installed from FSPilotShop or whatever its called. No updates as far as I know. I will look for the updates and see Thanks for your response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWilko10 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Not checked at home yet, but the download suggests its version 1.30 which is the latest version, so I assume I am up to date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Paramount is to install the latest library files after every new FTX install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWilko10 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Excuse my ignorance but where would i find them? Thanks for your help Paul I can see service pack updates, is that what you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Have a look here => http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/90026-orbxlibs-141228/?p=819154 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWilko10 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Oooh, thats interesting as I think it could be the seasons thing !!!!! There was snow around the area although not directly in that place but near ) Will report my findings later ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWilko10 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 I have done everything you say and no different However, I am coming round to the idea it could be something to do with the Airbus A320 from Aerosoft It works perfectly in non ORBX scenery areas but with the errors seen using ORBX scenery which Is why i thought it was ORBX. However, I cannot replicate with any other Default aircraft or the freeware Goshawk everyone raves about! Anymore thoughts please I have put this on Aerosofts forum aswell Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hi Paul, Liners add-on such AS Airbus or 7X7 PMDG hit your performances. The consequences are artefacts of texture in display. Blue squares with objects means your system was unable to show ground texture in time. You have to reduice your settings and tune your CPU and/ord graphic card. That also explains why you don't have that issue with light aircraft such as stock one ore Dino's Goshawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWilko10 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Thank you I agree with you, however, I lowered my settings to minimum to test that theory last night with no luck. Infact, one of the supposedly FPS hitters (water) I turned all the way down and the blue squares got worse lol I need to look at this again and make sure my card is performing to its best. I had no issues at all with the Airbus X on my 10 year old pc, but now i have a decent PC if not the best, I have issues even though the difference being its the latest airbus and using extra scenery. I will report back my findings Thanks again Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 So check your hardware drivers. Something may work wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 It may be that windows 7 is starting to run out of virtual memory. This can be a massive problem if you have addon sceneries and other FSX addons which take a lot of resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWilko10 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 I don't have much to report as down the pub lol, however before coming down here I checked the vas using process Explorer and the most I could get fsx to hit was 2.5 gb which means in theory I have 1.5 left if what I read is true? Going to test the airbus x instead of the new version later tonight to see if that works okay I also set nvidia inspector as per a tutorial I read about with no luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Newman Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 What you are seeing here is, as Richard mentioned, a "Texture Artifact". In this particular case, that particular tile of scenery was not loaded by the sim as it probably got sidetracked doing something else. Unfortunately, as you increase the complexity of addons (including scenery, weather and aircraft), it throws even more calculations at FSX and being that FSX is a 32-Bit program, it can only handle so much at any given time... if there's too much, it "skips" things to keep up... in this case, texture loading. Another thing supporting the "overload" theory here is your close up ground textures... they look a little blurry, and certainly blurrier than they should... This is another symptom of the same issue. If you pause the sim, you'll notice those tiles will load after a little while... in fact they will also load if it's not paused, but it takes some time. this is a known "bug" of FSX... It's been around since day one. Are you running DX10 or DX9? A lot of people run DX10 these days as it tends to offload more things for the graphics card to do... DX9 still relies too much on the CPU which just compounds the issue. One thing you could try would be to delete your shaders and FSX.cfg file... FSX will then rebuild new ones next time it runs. You may have to readjust your settings again, but it's always good to sometimes "start fresh"... this often cures some annoyances: To do this, first delete your shaders. Delete both folders ("Shaders" and "Shaders10") from within the following directory: C:\Users\<Your Name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\FSX\ Next delete the FSX.cfg file from: C:\Users\<Your Name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\ Then run FSX. If this still doesn't help, have you added the following to the FSX.cfg? In the [GRAPHICS] block, add: HIGHMEMFIX=1 Without this in your FSX.cfg, FSX will not use all the memory that it can... this really is a must these days. Hope some of this helps some... let us know how you get on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWilko10 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 I think I may have good news. More testing required but looks good so far. The HIGHMEMFIX seems to be the saviour here, so thanks for that suggestion. I took off from Gatwick, flew 3000ft for a while, inside view, outside view, pan around, nothing, all good. The only thing I did spot was a flashes of the blue squares but it went within a milisecond. So I assume the Memfix was sorting it out quicker, much quicker This with my settings pretty damn high, not full but not far off and getting a steady 30fps at least If this stays this way, i will be a happy bunny Thanks for your suggestions and hope I do not have to come back and talk about this again ) Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I used to get these in DX9, I no longer get them since I changed to DX10. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
