August 5, 201213 yr Hi guys, I'm not really sure if this is the right place to be posting this question, but I haven't really found other topics on this weird problem. Basically, in the San Francisco area, FSX is replacing the water with a dessert like texture. I installed Aerosoft's US Cities X San Fransisco and Flightbeam's KSFO, and it was only then I realized that the water was all gone (Golden gate bridge and alcatraz over the dessert definitely isn't normal). I'm not sure if I had this problem before installing those two products as I had never previously visited that area, however as soon as I saw the problem I disabled both sceneries and restarted FSX. However the problem is still there. There's definitely something wrong here, but I don't know what it is. Am I going to have to reinstall fsx? I've had so many problems with it recently it's really getting on my nerves. I've had to reinstall and repair fsx about 3 times within the last 2 weeks!! Thanks!! all the screenshots were taken after the scenery was disabled
August 6, 201213 yr Two things, do you have US Cities below KSFO airport in the scenery library ? Do you have F1 UTX installed ? If you have UTX installed, you need to run the UTX USA set up tool, by running it and closing it to re sync the terrain.cfg.

August 6, 201213 yr I've seen this before, as Julian says, it's almost definitely a terrain.cfg issue. The two products that I know of that would cause this in the SFO Bay Area specifically are F1 UTX (would affect anywhere), and ORBX PNW ( will affect US west coast areas north of Paso Robles). As Julian says, try running the UTX setup tool. I got this error when already running UTX and installing the trial ORBX PNW. If you've installed the full version of PNW and the UatX setup tool doesn't do,it, you might have to go check the ORBX / FTX forums, I think it's in their FAQ. Whatever, don't try to edit terrain.cfg, unless you really know what you are doing. Thanks, Bruce. ASEL, Instrument. KBJC, Colorado.
August 6, 201213 yr Author Thanks for the answers. I've got utx, so thats probably where the issue lies. I'll try it tomorrow and see if it fixes it. and the us cities x is above ksfo
August 6, 201213 yr Another great way to trouble shoot is Google. Just type in your issue and start searching through the links. Good luck and I hope you get it all worked out...! 5Take Care, Will Clark My computer: Intel 14900K, Motherboard ROR Maximus Z790 Formula, PSU Dark Power 1600, Ram DDR5 (7200) Vengeance 32GB CL38, ASUS 4090, Keyboard Logitech ASUS, Mouse ROCCAT LEADR Wireless, Corsair M.2 SSD 4TB x2, Headset Astro A50 Wireless, Microphone Elgato Wave 3, Stream Deck Elgato XL, GoXLR, Loopdeck Live, Chair Steelcase Gesture with Headrest, Case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL ROG White, Custom Built water cooling, Ek Lian li xl distro plate, Fittings EK & Bitspower, Monitor LG C1 48 OLED, Desk Speakers Audio Engine A5+ White.
August 6, 201213 yr Global warming! (I couldn't resist) As others have said, terrain.cfg "I am the Master of the Fist!" -Akuma
