Imaginesim KATL issue

Featured Replies

Has anyone ever encountered while using Imaginesim KATL (the newest version for FSX) where at times the terminal buildings (anywhere from 1 to 3 of them) will not show? The light poles, outside stairs and ground vehicle show as do some of the other terminal buildings. The gates show as well (using AES). If I start at KATL the buildings are all there. If I start somewhere else and fly into it, I am seeing this issue. Now I run darn near all the FT, FSDT (including the FR intense YVR), FB, Aerosoft stuff without any issues. I have a GTX680FTW 4GB card so I know that is not the issue. The other Imaginesim stuff does not do this, just KATL (how I wish someone like FT/FSDT/FB would remake KATL to get rid of the Imaginesim one). Anyone else ever see this and find a fix?

Same issue sometimes- mainly after long flights. Not aware of any fix but fully agree with you!

After reading NickN's bible I converted all the textures to dxt5 and added mipmaps ti all textures. Scenery looks and runs much better. So far no disappearing building.

I did exactly the same (convert and add mipmaps) to both the previous KATL (original) release and the new version. Visually, this process improves the scenery significantly and ImagineSim really let themselves down in my opinion by not completing this extremely simple and rewarding step prior to release. (I think that it's this lack of attention to detail - and lack of customer support, to be honest - which seems to keep them firmly below the standards of FlyTampa and FlightBeam.)

 

However much the texture conversion and mips help though, I experienced the disappearing terminal buildings in both ImagineSim ATL products and have just learned to live with the issue when it occurs. It seems to be the same story with the crazy bright runway lights in the newest Atlanta - it's just how they chose to leave it...
