Recently, I've downloaded some of the great looking scenery by CanUK. But it seems I get really bad texture flickering on these airports, in particular with the ground textures. For example, CYBW Springbank has ground textures that flicker like mad for me once I'm at say, 5000' and circle back to take a look at the airport.

 

I've looked at the texture files, and insofar as my limited experience with textures allows, they seem to be fine. But there has to be something in particular with these textures, as aside from the very seldom occurrence here and there, I never get any flickering like this.

 

Any ideas?

I suppose these textures are not default, but from the addon. Can you check if all these textures are mipped?

Yes, they are ground textures which come with the addon. I've ran them through AlphaSearcher and it didn't highlight any as having issues - this was a week ago now, perhaps I missed something, bit there's an option to search for files without mips in addition to having it search for files without alphas. A lot of the building textures from this scenery flicker annoyingly as well.

 

All of my other addons, payware and freeware are perfectly fine, it's just the CanUK ones. I wish I could figure out why!

I've always had that problem with their Springbank scenery on mulitple computers, at least in summer. Winter ground textures don't seem to flicker. Too bad, as it really is an excellent rendition of the airport. I get some minor flickering at their CYYC as well, mostly with parking lot textures, but the problem isn't nearly as bad as at CYBW. I've tried replacing the grass textures and messing around with vertex levels in the past, to no avail. It might be a mesh conflict issue, as I use the detailed FSG mesh for the local area.
