November 3, 20178 yr Hello My ground textures keep cycling between the normal textures and a black texture. I'm not sure whether they are cycling between day and night textures, or just simply disappearing, I initally thought that this was due to ActiveSky, but this happens with all aircraft and default scenery. Normal ground textures "Black" ground textures As far I can see, this does not effect autogen, which remains in place. Any ideas on how to solve this issue ? Cheers 9W
November 3, 20178 yr Commercial Member Hi there, Are you creating your own XML to install scenaries? Regards, Simbol Oficial Website: https://www.FSReborn.com Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/XC82TqvKQ3

Regards, Simbol I might have moved a few airports from the deafult Prepar3d v4 Add-on folder and edited the add-on.xml to reflect the new updated locaation. I have FSDG VQPR and VOBL which I moved to a new folder outside, and changed the addin.xml. I also used Lorby Addon Organiser to add some other airports, which aslo created a few other addon.xml entries.

Ok, how many airports have you done like this? there is a bug that after installing certain amount of XML's the bug above will occur, I don't remember how many but it is something like 18 or more I believe. Second, are you aware of what the SDK XML method does? there are a lot of topics on this forum where I am warning people about the consequences of this method in relation to file name resolutions, so it is posible you have now a conflict of textures on your system. Please read: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/523322-best-way-to-add-sceneries-add-ons-or-scenery-library/ and this https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/523111-change-prepar3d-v4-add-ons-dir/ To solve your problem I advise to disable your XML's using the Add-on's manager and enable them one by one restarting PD3 each time to see which one might be causing the conflict.

Definately not 18. Other than the 2 FSDG Airports, I have 5 other freeware sceneries which I added via the addon.xml method to see if it was working properly. There are 2 other airports OMDB and YSSY which I added manually via the scenery library. I did read both the posts you mentioned above before starting to mess around with the addons. I will try disabling the addons one by one to see if the culprit can be found. BTW, This bug currently exists only for airports added via addon.xml method only ? So if I add the airports via the Scenery Library, I should have no issues ?

Try disable them one by one first. Regards, Simbol Oficial Website: https://www.FSReborn.com Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/XC82TqvKQ3

Regards, Simbol I disabled them all one by one as you suggested, but the problem still exists. I even tried trying to run p3d with an empty Add-on folder. Do you think this could be a shader issue ? I tried deleting the shaders folder from AppData/LM/Prepar3d v4/ but there was no Shaders folder.
November 4, 20178 yr Commercial Member Yes could be, are you using toga or pta shaders? Also make a backup of Prepar3d.cfg and delete it it to see the problem goes away. If not repeat with scenery.cfg, etc. Simbol Oficial Website: https://www.FSReborn.com Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/XC82TqvKQ3
