Strange: ground textures vanish near Hong Kong !

Featured Replies

I am currently ER to WMKK at FL390, M.86, and just overflew Hong Kong heading 214 mag. When I went into spot view about 40nm before hitting the HK metro area, and panned around the a/c, there were large chunks of land below and around me that were missing from the default scenery. In their place were some huge geometric shapes colored whitish-grey, tending white. In addition, there were momentary flashes of ground texture slicing through my aircraft, vertically on the video monitor, such as I've never seen before. It was like something from the movie "Predator" !Indeed, I've never seen missing ground textures and or slicing effects like this anywhere in years of simming. I have no add-on scenery for this part of the world and in total, very little add-on scenery in FS9.I am flying in a POSKY ANA 744, FE 2004 (rocks!), and a ATI 850XT PE card with a DELL XPS, and dual DELL LCDs. Any thoughts on what might have caused this?Thanks for posts!JS
