FSX strange aircrafts forms

Featured Replies

First thank you for the gentle members of this forum for the continuous help with FSX.

 

Unfortunately my FSX had another strange problem. Now, when I choose an aircraft, the form of the aircraft is totally messed up. Don´t know exactly to say it in English, but please, check this picture, to see what happens:

And then, see what happens after loading the flight:

As you can see, also, there is an annoying "shadow" or a dark part  which follow the aircraft while taxing.

 

Any idea? Thank you for your patience with me.  

This is most likely a shader issue which means that you have to rebuild the shaders. I'm currently on a mobile so I can't give you any links but if you try using the forum search you will find a solution I think.

 

Something like 'rebuild shaders' which can happen via an edit of the fsx.cfg or a deletion of the shader folders in the app data folder.

 

Also, if you have any shader mods installed (search term!), you would need an extra line in your fsx.cfg to make them work.

Dont know if this is a shader issue but it used to happen to me once in a whole before the highmemfix tweak was brought to the table.

 

In your fsx.cfg in the Display section, place highmemfix=1 if its not there already. Ever since I put highmemfix in the .cfg I have never had a plane display like that again.

 

If you already have highmemfix in there and your getting that, then it could be a shader issue, driver or driver settings issue.

I do not have highmemfix=1 command in the FSX.cfg file.

Seems like the problem has gone deleting shader file as explained above. Do you think would be really

necessary to add this line on cfg file? 

BTW, here is my fsx.cfg if it helps.

Thanks.

Yes, put highmemfix=1 in the Display section of your .cfg. It actually not a tweak but is actually a fix that never got put into a service pack.

 

Everyone should have it in the .cfg and it will cause no adverse effects like some tweaks will. Remember its a fix not a tweak.

you have installed the Shader Model 3 Mod for Flight Simulator if you have it for some reason this line is missing

[GRAPHICS] => ALLOW_SHADER_30 = 1

It´s added both lines in the suggestions. 

Thank you very much for your help.
