Hi Steve
 
Just wondering if you could "work your magic" on the new lighting system that Ultimate Terrain X Europe v2 has introduced.
 
In short, it appears to be the same, or at least a very similar, issue to the FTX lights problem that first appeared - in both day and night, there are two black triangles surrounding the light...pic attached:

Many Thanks

Try enabling missing texture alert in fsx.cfg I imagine that you are missing a texture, in dx9 it would be discarded but in dx10 it will appear black.

Hi Steve

 

Tried the Missing texture alert and doesn't show anythings missing upon loading FSX

 

To add....Allen Kriesman at Flight 1 has confirmed that they do work in DX10, and other users have confirmed that they work with DX10 Fixer so i'm a bit stumped as to what could casue it.

 

I've run my FSX in DX9 and the lights show perfectly normally, I've uninstalled UTX Europe v2 and re-installed but still no joy, I've uninstalled the Fixer libraries and run FSX in DX10 without the Fixer and again they still show the black triangles.

 

What I have noticed playing around some more....and this can be seen in the night shot I posted earlier.....is that some of the lightsd DO show correctly depending on the angle they are viewed from - in the night shot you can see above and below the left wing that 7 or 8 of the lights are displaying correctly but if I pan around/away, they revert to the black triangle version.

 

Any help/ideas would be much appreciated.

 

Regards

To also add.....I've managed to capture 2 screenshots that might or might not help - they were taken with the sim paused but 1 shows the lights display properly, the other shows the black triangle issue.

 

The only difference between the 2 shots is that I panned ever so slightly whilst paused until the black boxed reappeared - any idea what might be the cause of this??

 

The missing texture alert operates when you are in the game I.e flying not on load, the original pictures look like a missing texture or dx10fixer disabled - are all options in debug dialog ticked? Are there any warnings about big.bmp?

Sorry I meant i dont get any warnings on loading or on flying about (I activated the missing library alert too just in case and if I remember that's the one that gives the warning on load) but either way...no missing textures warnings.

 

What is, or where would I find big.bmp?

 

I can confirm the lights display properly in DX9.

 

All options are ticked in the debug screen.

 

I can confirm dx10 fixer is working as I've tried uninstalling it and flying in fsx without the fixer - all of the usual dx10 issues like the milky water etc. are there and the lights don't work.

 

When then reinstalling the dx10 fixer the milky water etc has gone so I know fixer is doing its thing but still no joy with these lights.

 

I've tried moving the legacy slider left one notch at a time, and I've unticked the v2 transparency logic and v2 lighting rules too and that doesn't solve it.

 

Would clearing the shader cache help, have any effect on this?

 

What would cause the textures to display properly but only at very specific angles from you as per the 2 screens shots??

 

Regards

I'm holding my hand up here and apologising - i am officially an idiot!!!

 

Playing around and scratching my head again.....reading through your post - I've just noticed that the DX10 Transparency Bug Fix box in the Debug section was unticked - d'oh.

 

No idea why it was....can't remember ever having unticked it....and always used the fixer as a "set and forget" application.

 

Anyway....ticking that box....viola...my lights display properly and problem (!!) solved.

 

Apologes again...I always thought it would be something simple....and it was - me!!

 

Thanks again.

 

Steve
