So I got into the old trick of converting textures and shrinking them down, especially for the Ultimate Traffic 2 planes.   When the utility was done adding mipmaps and alphas to all the planes I thought I'd experiment and be clever at a payware airport; Flightbeam's KSFO.   Now before I did anything TOO stupid, I backed up all the textures in the KSFO folder and then just to test things out I shrunk some of the textures down to 512x512 and re-mipmapped them and then fired up FSX.   It looked like utter crap so I restored the backup of the textures but now...   those textures that I edited.. are STILL loading on the airport!  I even did re-install of of KSFO (without uninstalling it) and my crappy texture edits are STILL there.  @_@

 

I assume this is FSX storing the textures in a cache and refusing to load the restored textures just to torture me further.    Where is it hiding it my crappy texture edits that I have gotten rid of the KSFO texture folder?   How can I restore the textures?   My quest to get more than 22 FPS in the NGX while UT2 is running at FB KSFO is going to drive me insane!   :angry:

I'm not on my FSX PC now, but there is a CheckBox in the Scenery page to clear Cache.

 

Also AFAIK scenery is cached in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX\SceneryCache

(If unsure, make a backup copy before deleting files within)

 

Cheers.

You could try rebuilding your scenery indexes. Delete the contents of :

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX\SceneryIndexes

And check the scenery cache while your there. It should be empty though

I do that on a regular basis and kill the Facilities folder too but the textures remain.  I will try the FLUSH thingy.
