Ground Texture Says "Winter-Spring"

Featured Replies

Recently I ventured south of the US/Mexico Border in FSX Boxed Edition and discovered an odd texture issue.  Some of the ground textures as seen from the air as I neared the Yucatan Peninsula starting displaying the word "WINTER" in red and "SPRING" in green.

As I continued south into South America the green "SPRING" pretty much disappeared, but the red "WINTER" displayed everywhere I looked until I crossed the Amazon.  Not every bitmap displayed the red or green words, but I could look in exterior view and see numerous displays in a complete 360 circle around my aircraft.

This anomaly does not...at least hasn't yet...appeared in the US or north from there.  Can't speak for Europe/Africa/Asia/Australia yet...haven't been there.

The only change I have made to the region was to install the free ORBX SA Landclass, but that is a mesh file with no textures associated with it.  Any ideas and, while I am posting, is there a way to find out which bitmap is being displayed when I see that?

I saw this as well in P3D4 while flying to Katmandu. Also using ORBX. Strange thing though....

They’re debugging textures. Someone forgot to replace them.

Have you got any add ons installed?

Exactly!  These are test textures for scenery.

My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.

I had the same issue recently after a reinstall. If you haven't already, head over to the ORBX forums and describe to them, they'll likely provide a replacement "lclookup.bgl" file for you.

Good luck,

Kail

Thanks for listening,
