Strange issue

[gronden 1]

Hi,

 

I have hust installed the fixer and I'm facing a strange issue: I have white half transparent parallelepipedes appearing here and there on the terrain (unfortunately I'm not able to attach an example picture).

 

Which could be the problem and is there a possible solution for that?

 

Thanks in advance for the support and best regards

What scenery are you using? It may be relevant to Steve.

Turn on missing texture alert - see manual for instructions and tell us what it says when you see this.

Hi,

 

thanks for the prompt reply.

 

I have done what requested and it seems that therea are some ORBX (I have ORBX global) missing:

 

!ORBXLIGHT.DDS

!ORBXLIGHTW.BMP

!ORBXLIGHTO.BMP

!ORBXLIGHTB.BMP

!ORBXLIGHTY.BMP

 

What shouls I do now? Should be enough to try to find those missing textures?

 

Thanks again and Kind Regards

Hi,

 

fortunately I was able to find a copy of the missing files (I did a backup of everything when some weeks ago I uninstalled ORBX Global,Landclass and Vector) reinstalling after only ORBX Global) and the issue seems to be solved.

 

Now I should understand why reinstalling ORBX Global those textures were missing, but this is another story  :smile:

 

Thanks a lot for the great and promprt support.

 

Kind Regards

In dx9 fsx discards any items with missing textures and doesn't draw them. In dx10 preview by contrast they are drawn with a default texture. This means that as in this case a missing texture is a hidden problem in dx9 as the items just disappear.
