Some FSDT sceneries displaying gray tiles >~8-9 NM away

[CaptKornDog 282]

On *some* FSDT sceneries in FS9 (all of Hawaii, KLAS, and KFLL), my ground textures don't seem to load until about 8 or 9 NM from the airfield. Instead of some blurry ground textures, a rather obnoxious gray ground texture loads underneath the runway.

 

These are the only sceneries I seem to have this problem with (FlyTampa, ImagineSim, etc...even FSDT KORD, KJFK, KLAX, and KDFW all work fine) seem to have some kind of aerial photo or tiling underneath to display in the distance.

 

Would anyone have any suggestions? Reinstalls have been unsuccessful.

 

An example is PHOG below (granted, an aerial photo, but the same depiction when on approach):

 

 

Here is KORD (what I would normally expect):

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Does this happen in FS9, FSX, or both (see you have both sims)? Problems with slow rendering is usually caused by having too high settings in both sims or your display settings are set too high. I think most non-payware airports have gray textures but you might look for another AFCAD or edit the current AFCAD to change the elevations.

 

Best regards,

If this is just happening in FSX, I can move this over to the FSX forum.
