January 20, 201610 yr I wondering if anyone else has this problem and what I can do to fix it. When flying into airports, sometimes, the buildings in the airport disappear. Only the buildings are gone, the jetways, and runways do not disappear. It happens at both payware add on airports as well Freeware add on airport scenery. It also does not happen all the time. In example, one day I will fly into kjfk and everything is fine, then the next day I fly into kjfk and the buildings are gone. It never happens at the origination airport. Does anyone else have this problem? How can i fix it so it does not happen again? System Specs: FSX with Acceleration i7 [email protected] Ghz 16 G of DDDR3 RAM Nvidia GeForce 750 TI 4G

Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
January 20, 201610 yr Commercial Member Yea, I have seen that. For me it tends to happen at certain angles when looking at the buildings. Move around a little further and they reappear using an outside view and moving around with my hat switch. I have not heard of any remedy for that situation, just that is happens in occasion.

January 21, 201610 yr It's a longstanding FSX issue with no known cause (although the likely culprits are conflicting 3rd party sceneries). It even shows up in P3d 3.1. The bug is so rare that it has been impossible to quash (or squash).
January 21, 201610 yr I have seen that too occasionally, but mainly at more resource intensive airports (Aerosoft's Mega Airport Dublin was a particular culprit). In simple terms, I think that the graphics card sometimes takes longer to 'draw' the scenery in some airports as you approach them, whereas it draws the scenery at the airport of origin while that airport is loading on to FSX.

January 24, 201610 yr Author I have turned down my FSX graphics settings but it still happens. If anyone knows of a fix, please post it.
January 24, 201610 yr Please take a look at these two threads, one on the LM official forum and one on the ORBX official forum: http://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6312&t=14352 http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/109747-sowhere-did-downtown-chicago-go/#comment-986343 Apparently there is no fix, this either "winking" or disappearing of airport scenery is a limitation built in to FSX and subsequently P3d, when there are too many objects being placed on the airport.
