I have a problem with the NA WAshington 2S1 Vashon Muni airport. I have had it working in the past but I thought it was corrupted so I removed all the Orbx files with their uninstaller. I then downloaded the PNW demo and reinstalled everything including their newest object library.

 

I rebooted and I still had the same problems with 2S1 and Wax Orchards. It looks like some textures are missing but I'm not sure. Oddly enough KHQM Bowerman looks OK.

 

I hesitate to post this on the ORBX forum since I imagine it's primarily for paying customers but I am baffled.

 

I set all the graphics settings as they recommended and I believe I have their correct order in the scenery library. Does any one have any ideas what is causing this or possibly experienced the same phenomenon?

 

Thanks for any guidance you can offer.

Seems to me that your computer has a hard time to load the textures of the volumetric grass. Happens to me sometimes, too. Try to reduce your settings a bit and see if it goes away.

Thanks for your help OE-LAT.

 

I suspected that some of the black objects were grass and obviously some are runway lights. I have tried a multitude of different graphic slider settings (+ and -) as well as the recommended settings in the PNW demo pdf. Still the same result. I don't understand why Bowerman looks complete but Vashon does not. Wax Orchard is missing some fence texture and a couple of other textures as well.

 

BTW I did see that ORBX requires your purchase # to post on their support forum.

 

I'm baffled. Any other suggestions out there from people running PNW demo??

I believe you have to register, but they do have a support forum for their freeware. And don't quote me on this, but I think all "adding", " modifying", and such needs to be done through their propriety "FTX Central" control panel.

 

Try the freeware support forum, they do have excellent support at FTX. I am sure they will get you sorted out.

Did you install the object libraries?

I used the FTX central control panel. I did finally get 2S1 to work properly thru de-installing and re-installing. It is a very nice addition but it sounds like it is only supposed to be used with the payware version of NA PNW not the demo. I finally gave up on the PNW demo as I was getting a lot of "Failed to find file" error messages. After removal it seemed to lessen the occurences of this message.

Yes I installed the latest version although the demo may contain the required scenery objects. I'm not certain of that though.

Ah, that may be the problem, been awhile since I installed Vashon.
