Princess Julianna ( St Marteens ) garbled textures

Featured Replies

Hi,in Princess Luliana airport only, it happens this (Vista64): by zooming out, graphics return to normal everytime the garbled textures show in different positions I've already:- tried either dx9 or dx10- unchecked every "suspected" addon scenery (SceneryTech Landclass, FSGlobal, Aerosoft Mega airports, UK2000 Airports)- deactivated REX (weather texturing and weather engine as well), restoring original FSX texturesI've tried about 20-30 airports more, (on different continents/weather/time of day/season), and there - luckily - everything is normalso now I'm short of optionsthanks for providing any more ... options :(PS I'm soory that below there are repeated screenshots...I don't know how they went there, and how to remove them

Do you have FTX mode turned off?Change from SLI to a single graphics card?Change graphics driver?

Have you tried to re-sort your scenery library files. This sometimes has solved many problems with my system. Try moving St. Martin either up or down in the list...

What do you mean with "FTX turned off?"

FTX was turned off (@DJJose: Orbx terrain must be deactivated when flying outside of Australia)@Art_P : I supposed that's not a graphic (SLI or driver) issue, as it this texturing mess happens only in St Marteens ... so far...I could try it, nonetheless@fisheye : I don't have St Marteens in my scenery library...should it be there?

in the meantime, I've discovered that, by lowering autogen to zero, the texture mess disappears, and reappears proportionally to the dragging right of the autogen slider

The only reason I can think of it being a graphics driver issue and only occurring at this location is because the graphics demand is especially high. It is my understanding that FSX does not benefit from SLI, and two graphics cards on some motherboards can reduce the graphics capability. The rest of your system is certainly not suspect.I haven't flown into TNCM in a long time (this is where you are talking about?). I guess I could try it with all the scenery settings high on my lowly system and see what happens.

Well, I tried it with autogen and scenery complexity at extremely dense and no graphics problems. Actually it was quite smooth, so I guess this location is not such a graphics load as I thought.I did have a scenery package at one time that made this area go crazy and had to get rid of it, but you say you are not using addon scenery applying to this location.

TNCM has a low AI activity, so usually there's no system effort now you showed that it looks like my issue is actually local .... and maybe it'll appear here in some other place; I don't dare nonetheless start a new install, without knowing the cause (what if it was autogen against somewhat ... addon tweaking? .. terrible possibility)thanks
