In FSX/Texture folder do you have aptsign.bmp?

I'm running out of ideas!  One last thing I can think of is did you download and install any airport updated scenery

 

or AFCADS, or any thing that would cause the taxi signs to vanish on a Global scale?  Any changes to your FSX.cfg?

I've actually reinstalled my whole FSX, still nothing. I read somewhere that my GPU might not be able to "handle" it, or something....

Maybe the aptsign.bmp might be corrupted or something.

Sorry to hear that!  How about FSX/Settings/Customize  "Global Texture Resolution" slider maxed out. And under

 

Scenery "Special Effects" slider maxed out?  Other than that, Wanna borrow a hammer? :wink:

What graphics card do you have?

 

Have you tried to verify Steam Game Cache?

 

Delete the fsx.cfg and let it rebuild

 

Delete the shader folders in AppData Local / Roaming and let them rebuild

 

There's gotta be a reason this is happening.

There is a free version of this airport available from UK2000, but if memory serves it doesn't come with taxiway signs. Might  you have installed this at some point?

Thank you guys for the help!

The problem has been solved!

I've done just two steps:

• I've configured autogen scenery in default.xml from here (first step)

• And I've unticked any addon scenery from the Settings > Scenery.

  • Commercial Member

The second thing you did was likely the fix... and if so it tells us that you were not working with true default scenery but a free addon.  If this is the case, you might try resolving the problem by removing the scenery, that way you'll be ready to update the scenery when needed instead of having to deal with it later.

 

Best wishes.
