FSX texture problem while changing from day to night

Featured Replies

Hi all! I'm using my sim since 2 years, flying only long hauls online and have more or less the same stable software background. The only changes were 2 months ago an SSD and an 580GTX. Softwares are: Win7-64, FSX, Active Sky, PMDG 747, Realtime, Ground Environment X, FSGlobal 2010 and FSINN. And now my problem, never had this before: When starting in a day and it becomes night (or vica versa) the outside graphic of my plane gets "damaged", I can see inside the tires and the cockpit, however the VC also looks strange, you can look thru the walls (there are no wall actually any more). The plane is only the first step at FLxxx, when I descend and try to land the destination airport will look catasrophal too. I reseted my BIOS on my Core i7 to base clock, graphic is set to "medium", but the problem still exist. The only solution is that I turn back the clock to day or night (whatever I had during departure) and the graphic will be fixed. I tried this: find the [sCENERY] line in your FSX CFG Change the line DAWN_DUSK_SMOOTHING=1 to DAWN_DUSK_SMOOTHING=0 Didn't help. No I found this: [GRAPHICS]HIGHMEMFIX=1 After landing I will check, but I don't know. I have 6 Gb's of DDR3 and 1.8 Gb of VRAM so that can't be the point, I guess at least... Would be nice to hear some tipps. Thanks! Enclosed 2 pics:

you should post this in the MS FSX FORUM seen that your problem isn't about CTDs...

For disappearing or 'ghost' aircraft, the HighMemFix=1 is suppose to fix that. Here's what I would do in your situation: rename the fsx.cfg, restart fsx and let the config rebuild. Go fly and try your scenario again. If it doesn't occur with default fsx settings, then you'll know it's something in the FSX.cfg causing the problem. If it doesn't solve the problem, simply go back and get your old fsx.cfg activated. The only fsx.cfg 'tweak' I use is the HighMemFix=1. Best regards,Jim

Dear thomas, you are wrong, FS crashes finally every time. Dear Jim! Thank you very much. Highmemfix helped, since then I flew a lot of longhauls without any single problem! Thank you!

sorry if I misunderstood but, I re-read the first post and there isn't any indication that you have crashes...Sorry again for misunderstanding again!im Not Worthy.gif
