April 13, 201214 yr Commercial Member Based on your modified panel (the FDX logo), I'm guessing it has to do with that. If I remember correctly, that's where the tail number is supposed to show up, and modifying the tail number has caused issues with people's systems in the past. Kyle Rodgers
April 13, 201214 yr Author Is that perhaps a failure ? I think it is a random failure?? Based on your modified panel (the FDX logo), I'm guessing it has to do with that. If I remember correctly, that's where the tail number is supposed to show up, and modifying the tail number has caused issues with people's systems in the past. it happens with other liveries..
April 13, 201214 yr think this has been mentioned before in another thread some where, kyle is right about the tail number being modified I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg
April 13, 201214 yr As said, it is the TCAS test image, you will also get this in flight if there is a traffic conflict, (either with AI or multplayer). If you are getting this with no AI or multiplayer traffic in the vicinity, then there is something wrong. Thanks Tom My Youtube Videos! http://www.youtube.com/user/tf51d
April 13, 201214 yr For the record THis is not a failure of the fedex paint. I am flying also all the time with the fedex paint and the tcas (as this is indeed the tcas signalling) only shows up, correctly, on tcas test and on traffic conflict. BTW this image is from tcas test as on a true conflict the arrow will either point upwards or downwards depending on traffic advisory from tcas If they are on constantly during flight this suggest the tcas test is continuously being peformed. Check the tcas switch (the tcas test is performed by pushing the button in the middle of the 4 position tcas switch) If this is on without the switch being pressed please change to another livery and check if the same happens there. If it does this indicate some weird bug. Probably best to first try to reinstall ngx but if it stays on even after re-install i think it is time to submit a support ticket good luck Fred Koch system: r3700x , R9 Fury, Kingston A2000 M2 1Tb system drive and 512GB Samsung EVO 850 app drive.

April 13, 201214 yr We give unique registration textures to each repaint we do. I can't imagine altering it would have any effect on your gauges. Chris Hicks
April 13, 201214 yr Commercial Member We give unique registration textures to each repaint we do. I can't imagine altering it would have any effect on your gauges. You wouldn't think, but if there are mismatches, functions in the background may not work properly. I'm not sure how this would manifest in its effects on the TCAS, but it's clearly a modified panel, so my assertion remains. I remember reading something about registrations causing issues if edited.

April 13, 201214 yr My first guess would also be the modified panel as a reason.

April 13, 201214 yr Well, as a repainter, I've never experienced any problems due to the VC registration texture. All VC numbers are edited. The VC N number is not a mod. It's a texture just like the outside. It should no more have an effect on the gauges than the exterior paint does. It's included with the paint kit and all of your planes have a unique one given by the repainter. It's not making any sense to me why it would matter any more than a red plane not working because it got painted blue. If you delete that texture, you get a blank box, but no other effect occurs. Have any other repainters encountered this phenomenon before? I'm really curious why I've never encountered it if it is a VC texture issue. Chris Hicks
April 13, 201214 yr Earlier I was unable to see the screenshot, and I could not see if this was 2D panel (where indeed rego is written by software) or 3D. In 3D panel, this is just a texture. It does not matter at all what is there, a rego, rego+selcal, rego+selcal+line number, FDX logo, or a (very small version of) last months centerfold... Or nothing at all for that matter. I have several hours in my C-GTVF repaint without this texture, because I waas waiting for info on what is actually written on the decal. --Peter Fabian
