Hello:

 

I am sure this can't be helped but I have noticed with DX10 that some high level clouds display dark gray (almost translucent) squares while some ground HD payware textures load (I.E. some airport payware sceneries). Is there a way to mitigate this?? I have played around with swap wait time out (currently set to 3) and fiber fraction (currently at .12)

 

Tried buffer-pools both on and off. Tried changing resolution of the REX4 upper clouds to 2048, 1024 and 512....

 

Note: I have NO issues with the lower level clouds and they maintain their depiction..

 

Also note: That the upper level clouds go back to their stunning appearance after the payware textures are loaded.

 

Do you know of a way to mitigate this??

 

Thanks,

 

Scott

 

 

P.S, Same thing also occurs with the old REX OD upper clouds

One more peice of info...

 

I remember in DX9 that I did not have the high level clouds display dark gray (almost translucent) squares while some ground HD payware textures load issue, however after a resource intensive payware texture flight I would have to close FSX and re-start it it for anaother heavy payware flight or get an OOM error.

 

In DX10, I can usually fly another resource intensive flight without having to re-start FSX.. meaning that DX10 memory management seems to be way better than DX9 in plugging leaks and keeping everything better organized. 

Update:

 

One thing, I think I may have overlooked... Setting the texture_max_load value from 4096 to 2048 has seemed to mitigate (not totally eliminate) the upper cloud textures changing to dark gray squares when loading heavy payware scenery textures!!!
