Please Phil Taylor help us with the "wierd aircraft" pr...

[Guest bertvankampen]

What is causing this aircraft behaviour in FSX; even before you fly with it; so i mean when i choose an default FSX aircraft the"viewwindow"is showing the "weird" ones.I have really done everything 'people'in the forums have already adviced. But nothing helped sofar.There is one way left; ACES the designer of FSX.Thank you inadvance.Kind regards.Bert

How many people are seeing this problem? All or a few?Happens on clean RTM? Happens on clean SP1? By that I mean absolutely no add-ons, no changes, nothing. Is it only on nV 7xxx series?

Bert that might be a video driver problem. I've seen video corruption issues with the following:1) overclocking2) bad video driver3) Direct3D problemPlease post your vid hardware and vid driver version. And whether or not you are overclocking.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2585 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2gb Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8 (1T), WD 150 gig 10000rpm Raptor, WD 250gig 7200rpm SATA2, Seagate 120gb 5400 rpm external HD, CoolerMaster Praetorian

hmmm whenever I've seen that happen my card has been on the way out....What's your temps ?

This pic was posted the other day by someone else. I haven't seen the problem, but use the original install with no SP-1.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/174400.jpg

As others have posted, this is usually either:1)a graphics card/driver problem2)a missing texture with the aircraftIts hard to tell from a screenshot what specific issue a specific config may have. There is no magic.The fact that everyone doesnt see this indicates it is, usually, a local problem.

Phil,That was my picture from the other day. I tried:- reinstalling / changing graphics drivers,- stress testing my graphics card to see if it was on the way out (it was good),- reinstalling FSX and SP1,- reinstalling said aircraft (LDS 767), and even- cyring :-( Yesterday, I took out the big broom and installed XP, FSX and my few FSX treasures on my second hard drive. After about 15 hours of flying, I haven't seen textures like this since, whereas before I could conjur them up in about 10 mins.An extreme approach to fixing the problem, but it seems to have extremely worked!Gary

I used to see this when the fan on my video card started malfunctioning, and some of the symptoms displayed were corrupted aircraft and ground textures. It is possible that high temperatures can cause this. A new replacement fan fixed the problem for me, although I'm not saying that this is the same etiology as in your case.Bert, can you list your system specifications? And what are the temps that you're getting while running FSX?

Which kind of points to a graphic driver problem. It's not always easy to clean every last bit of driver out of a system. There may still have been something sitting around from another set of drivers, or, even something else.Thomas[a href=http://www.flyingscool.com] http://www.flyingscool.com/images/Signature.jpg [/a]I like using VC's :-)N15802 KASH '73 Piper Cherokee Challenger 180

I'm getting this problem on my setup. It only occurs when switching between windowed and full screen (as far as I can see)I'm running my FSX+SP1 (clean no addons) on a P4 3.4 H/T laptop with a ATI 256mb graphics card - it can't be anything fancy though

I even used driver cleaner, which supposedly finds every scrap left over from an uninstall and kills them, but it didn't make a cracker of a difference. Not to worry, things still seem to be working fine now with XP reinstalled.Gary

Btw, we had someone with this issue in our 747 for FSX beta as well... so it's probably a bit more widespread than just a few users. I can get more details from the tester...

Please note that the problem occurred for me at least 4 times before I tried the adjustment to the sliders, after which they never occurred again. Once past Japan and it's hugely complex and detailed scenery in FSX, I was able to wind my sliders back up to their previous position with no ill effects.Cheers,Chris Porter:-outtaPerthWestern AustraliaIntel Core 2 Duo E6700ASUS P5N32-E SLI Deluxe Motherboard4GB Corsair VS DDR2 667Mhz RAMInno3D 8800 GTX 768MB GDDR3 590MHz VideoASUS MW221u 21" Wide Screen LCD2 x 320Gb WD SATA DrivesCreative X-Fi Platinum Sound Lian Li PC-B20B Aluminium Black CaseMS Vista Ultimate OEMCH FlightSim Yoke USBCH Pro Pedals USBTrackIR 4 Pro and Track ClipMSFS FSX Deluxe Edition Full install at 1400x960x32Check out my 5th Around the World flight with MS FSX at http://members.iinet.com.au/~portercbp/fly...W_05/index.html

I had that only once. It was when I purchased the Wilco 737 upgrade for FSX. The wilco site had a whole stack of liveries but it wasn't obvious that they wouldn't work properly in FSX. I removed the liveries and went back to the default then all was well again.Steven.
