Just purchased the Realair Duke Turbine and really love it. The problem is it only will load properly in DX 10 preview. In normal mode the textures are scrambled. I've tried mips on/off, disabled virus progams, started with a new fsx.cfg, etc. My other aircraft (PMDG 747 & js4100 , Carenado Mooney & Caravan ,Lionsgate Elite, Flight 1 ATR) are all fine. Has this happened to anyone else? Sent Rob a letter and he was nice enough to respond even on a Sat. but didn't have any ideas.Any suggestions would be appreciated.Dennis Gi7 950 oc 4.1 .. 6 gigs dominator ..

You either didn't install the shader3 mod properly, or you didn't uninstall it properly.

He's right, this really looks like some shader confusion.There's a line SHADER_CACHE_VERSION=number in your fsx.cfg. Try altering the number there, make it +1 or so and try again. This forces the shaders to get compiled again.

Thanks for the reply. I don't even have a SHADER_CACHE_VERSION=n line in my fsx.cfg file.Under [GRAPHICS] i haveSHADER_CACHE_PRIMED_10=1693500673SHADER_CACHE_PRIMED=1693500673That's it and they both appear twiceIf I add the SHADER_CACHE_VERSION=n what number should I use? And why are the other planes ok and why does the Duke work in DX10 preview? Very Strange.I did notice the Realair adds an additional damage *.dds texture to each part of the texture.ExampleRASDUKE_Ext_T2.ddsRASDUKE_Ext_T2_Oil.dds this is the damage part you see in the sceenie with smoke comming from the wing. Shouldn't even be loading. RASDUKE_Ext_T2_Spec.ddsI really don't know what to do. I'm not going for another complete reload of FSX again just for this.By the way ...What is a shader 3 mod? Dennis

Oops, you are right, this line isn't there by default. Just add any number, take 1234 or so (SHADER_CACHE_VERSION=1234). Doesn't matter, it just needs some number, not a special one.Every altering of the number itself triggers the shader rebuild. You seem to need some rebuild once. Hope it helps you with the nice Duke.The shader mod is done by Bojote, enabling some better optics and performance, especially for the AMD cards out there. http://forum.avsim.n..._hl__shader+mod

All Right ..... I have it working. Added the SHADER_CACHE_VERSION=2 line and after a little research I found that I need another line. ALLOW_SHADER_30=1. Everything is fine and I highly recomend this aircraft. You'll never touch the Baron or King Air again. It's the best of both rolled into one. Thank you again for your help, I was really in over my head and could have never done it alone.Dennis G

Glad to read this. Enjoy the fast little thing.
