What causes this to happen in FSX?

Featured Replies

I have the Imaginesim KATL scenery for FSX.  Does anyone know why this and most of the other add-on sceneries do this?

I have a pretty good system running with a Nvidia GTX 3070 Ti.

Did you have any other KATL scenery installed before adding the Imaginesim KATL?

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

I'd suspect you're running into memory (VAS) issues--missing textures, including ground textures, is a classic symptom.

Fresh install of FSX.  Just the default KATL scenery.

Sorry, I should have pointed out that the effect is only momentary.  After a few seconds all the scenery fills in and looks normal.

Could be the CPU is not processing the data fast enough.  Your graphics card is more than enough for FSX, but what CPU is in your computer?

No, don't think it is the CPU.  Unless... hyperthreading can sometimes cause a performance decrease.  Have you disabled hyperthreading?
