Hi all,since reinstalling FSX i get the effect that at all airports the concrete textures are replaced by gras or in destert sand textures.I tried some replacement runway textures that come with xGraphics, but it had no effect.Can someone of you please help me with that ?Thanks a lot,Carsten

this is a picture of what i mean guys

Hi,same problem like Carsten have - even worse NO buildings at KATL this morning - my first flight with FSX and PMDG 747.Long time simmer with FS9 - never saw such a mess like FSX . . .Karl-Heinz - EDDI/THF " Tempelhof "" The mother of all airports " - Sir Norman Fosterhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/747400.jpg

We'll need a lot more information than that (thanks for the pic, though. That helps).There's the sand problem due to the very poor non-summer textures (which GE-X fixes), but I've never seen YOUR sand problem before. Ouch! Looks like a texture problem, like something went horribly wrong during the installation of SOMETHING.What other addons do you have loaded? What tweaks have you done? AI traffic added? FS9 AFCAD's loaded?As far as the lack of buildings at KATL, well, that could be due to all sorts of things. What are your display settings? What tweaks have you done? What addons have you loaded? Any AI traffic added? Any AFCAD's loaded?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

Hi Thomas,thanks for your response.Well i think it will be easier to reinstall FSX because there are so many addons and AI traffic on my system what makes it impossible for me to check everything because of lack of time :-(Hopefully a fresh install will do it.Thanks again,Carsten

Hi Thomas,my system is simple :Vista 32 2GB 7650GSFSX SP1 ASX PMDG 747X. . . and no buildings at all ! nowhere !Karl-Heinz - EDDI/THF " Tempelhof "" The mother of all airports " - Sir Norman Fosterhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/747400.jpg

Just loading standart a/c in FSX ( no ASX ) ALL buildings are there !Karl-Heinz - EDDI/THF " Tempelhof "" The mother of all airports " - Sir Norman Fosterhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/747400.jpg

Hi, further testing :Loading FSX and PMDG 747X BEFORE ASX will show all buildings - will change forum . . .Karl-Heinz - EDDI/THF " Tempelhof "" The mother of all airports " - Sir Norman Fosterhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/747400.jpg

That's definitely a fresh and intelligent response. I used to do onsite technical support for a 3D CAD software, starting back in the '80's. Back then, the software was quite cranky, and, of course, before you start a design, you really don't have any idea how it might end up.Well, I'd get these customers who would have a really complex part with hundreds of steps in them, that if you would start over, you could probably actually do in tens of steps, or maybe even less. Well, with hundreds of steps you'd very likely run into issues. Sometimes these people would spend days trying to fix a part, rather than just starting over and redoing it which would normally take a few hours at most. Plus, when you've already got all the information in front of you, doing it over ends up being much easier. Dumb.I feel exactly the same way as you. Sometimes its easier to just start over. The point is to get the work done.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
