External Model's Disappearing with Time Change in game

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

This issue is something I've tried to research and haven't had much luck in finding a solution on. It's only happening on 2 aircraft in my hangar right now and out of all the high end payware I have, it's a little bit of a shock honestly.

 

The Justflight 146-200 w/expansion pack and the Eaglesoft Citation II/SP work and display perfectly in daylight conditions but if I switch the time to night, dusk, or dawn, the exterior model and framework disappear. This doesn't happen on any of my A2A, PMDG, Milviz, Carenado HD, or Aerosoft aircraft. I've tried contacting Justflight about this issue and they have absolutely no idea what it could be causing this issue.

 

Running FSX Accel with SDK installed. For simplicity sake, I'm posting the eaglesoft citation view. It appears the same in game as it does in the lobby based on time selection. Same thing happens to the 146.

I have a very capable laptop that runs FSX and high end addons at 25-30fps so I know that isn't the issue here. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Still no reply so I'm guessing no one has ever had this issue ever...

Hi Rob, welcome to the AVSIM forums.

 

I have seen white (texture-less) rendering with incompatible FSX planes and when enabling DX10 preview. But this is a first for me.

 

It is a rendering problem. I guess it is a memory issue or your laptop is being overtaxed. (overheat?)

 

The Eaglesoft planes use very HQ textures.

 

Does this happen after a reboot and only launching FSX?

Your Laptop specs?

 

Believe it or not, desktop backgrounds (specially the active ones) can consume a lot of memory and resources. Try disabling or changing your background to a solid color. (black)

Time, is the one thing no one can buy.

Make sure you have highmemfix=1 in the Graphics section of the FSX.cfg.

 

Best regards,

Jim
