April 5, 20206 yr P3Dv4.5, ORBX Global Base, various OpenLC areas, various ORBX regions, many ORBX airports. Regardless of where I start a flight, textures are black. Mountains are black covered with "gray" trees. I can discern black rivers and gray building. Runways/taxiways look okay. Doesn't matter if I start a flight on an ORBX airport or in a non-ORBX location (excluding ORBX Global, of course). I uninstalled/re-installed Global Base Pack using ORBX Central. No joy. I used the Sync with simulator function and updated ORBX libraries. I posted this on the ORBX Forum too; awaiting a response. How do I fix this? Thanks. Scott
April 5, 20206 yr I'd probably start by uninstalling and reinstalling the OpenLC regions. Did you change anything before this started?

April 5, 20206 yr Sounds like a layering issue. What other scenery do you have installed, apart from the base P3D stuff? Such as meshes, other landclasses etc? This should give you some pointers as to where to look as a starting point. Cheers.

April 5, 20206 yr Author Based on a reply on the ORBX Forum... I deleted the folder …\AppData\Local\LockheedMartin\P3Dv4\Shaders. Started P3Dv4. Problem fixed. Thanks!

April 5, 20206 yr Author I recently added REX Environment Force. I can’t say for sure that there’s a connection between those two, although EF controls shaders and deleting the shader folder (forcing P3D to create a new one) fixed my problem. Edited April 5, 20206 yr by ncngrr
April 5, 20206 yr Yep, those pesky cached shader files can make a mess of things. My first point of call when troubleshooting is to, 1), Delete the cached shader files. 2), Delete the scenery indexes. Both will automatically regenerate and help towards resolving such issues as per the below pic (was a shader issue).

April 5, 20206 yr It is almost certainly EF. You must start EF before P3D and then close EF after closing P3D. It creates it own shaders each time. Intel i7 6700K @4.3. 32gb Gskill 3200 RAM.

April 7, 20206 yr Author Thanks everyone, for the replies. It seems that every time I fire up the sim, I learn something new!
