Texture corruption? REX, FSX or OPUS fault?

Featured Replies

I now get this streak of ?cloud that runs across the sky. See the attached picture

I've tried to reinstall my REX texures, and copied over the Opus cirrus texture file to replace the default one-- no such luck. Mist effect is disabled. Help?

It's a corrupt or mipped cirrus_overcast03.bmp texture. Opus offers a few alternatives to correct the problem in their official forums, I think.

Yes, I tried that with no such luck.

Looks like a sharp line there in the sky, could be your sky texture? Did you keep a copy of your \OpusFSX\Themes\OpusWeather.txt file?

Argh, now I am getting blocky clouds. I think there is an error with my shaders.

 

I am going to try and reinstall REX and try one more time.

I think there is an error with my shaders.

In this case you may recompile your shaders first.

No idea about your textures, if I were you I would keep it all simple and turn off any haze, mist or any other fancy effects that don't really work. Also check your cloud draw distance, just in case.

 

It doesn't look like anything to do with the LWE.

It's rexs fault. I did a full reinstall. Rex doesn't play nice with windows 8. You need to install it in its own directory outside program files and disable UAC in the registry not just the control panel. This disables the window store and metro apps as well.

 

This way Rex now has access to program files.

 

Windows 8 is terrible
