Hello,

i'm encoutering this black flash square on the airport ground before i take off :

 

 

Any idea where does it comes from ? As you can see my FPS are pretty good, and it may appear randomly whatever airport im taking off (scene or not)

Its just happening on the close texture around the plane like the example t.

Im using FSX Gold + FTX Global + Open LC + ASN + Rex4 + Dx10 SF.

 

thank you for any help you can provide

This is a common problem with FSX.  Your computer is not loading textures fast enough, so you see a black square, then it fills with the correct texture.  And you will always see it when lights come into view.

thanks.

The strange thing is I only see this when i start a quick flight directly on the runway. If i start at gate, then taxi, then take off i wont see this flash happening.

Added to that, why the texture is showed properly after the sim loaded, and then suddenly once i'm starting to accelerate, this 1sec black flash happens (like the texture was loading again)  ?

 

My FSX is actually on an HDD, if i'm moving it to a SSD will it solve this black flash ?

I don't think putting FSX onto a SSD will  solve the issue, Does it only do this when using the PMDG? have you tried with another aircraft?

Tried with Turbine Duke v2 and yes, same pb.

*bump*

I noticed it was appearing mainly when the time is foggy. If it can help for some suggestions

I think your questions have been answered.  You can have 200 fps and the black square (indicating the scene is still loading) will still appear.  It takes 1 tenth of a second for your fps to take a dive and then shoot back up again.
