Hi,I'm having problems loading FS2004. The progress bar gets to 77% (Loading Weather) and it then stops and shortly after I get the option to restart FS9.I've tried loading a new flight with no clouds and it's fine. If I then add a cloud layer FS locks up. All this points to a problem with one or more cloud textures.I have ASV installed. I'm debating whether the best course is to uninstall and reinstall ASV. Any suggestions would be welcome. Would I need to copy back the default FS textures to their original folder?I'm running ASV from another PC via WideFS. I assume this would not cause any uninstallation problem.Thanks for any help.Cheers,

Hi Ray,You may have installed some DXT textures and for that, Render to Texture must be on in FS. Is that the problem?Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg

Hi, "The progress bar gets to 77% "77% is related to clouds in DXT, render to texture should be enabled in fs2004 display. ThanksChris WillisHiFi Simulation Software Team Developerhttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg

Jim and Chris,Thank you so much! That was the problem. I'd been reassessing my options in FS recently and decided I didn't need 'Render to Texture' and had switched it off.I've now switched it back on and everything is working again.Thanks once again and btw, ASV is a great product - keep up the good work :-)Cheers,

Thanks Ray!Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg
