Black aircraft

Featured Replies

I have a payware aircraft with twenty different textures. Only 19 turn out properly, with one showing all black. I've looked at the textures for it and they are apparently correct.  Any ideas? The developer seems to be out of ideas.

Without giving some pertinant information we would all just be guessing.............

1- Which payware plane?

2- What version P3D?

3- What graphics card?

4- What driver version?

5- Which livery/texture is giving problems?

6- What resolution are you running P3D in?

7- What are your graphic settings within P3D and also any external settings?

8- What had been tried already as a remedy?

Etc.

 

The above would be a good starting point.

It is the Virtualcol Beech 99, texture 11 (Waglasia), P3D V5.4, Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X and Intel UHD Graphics 770, Titan driver 566.03,processor: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900K   3.20 GHz, 64 bit operating system, installed RAM 32.0 GB, Bios Version 10.0.19041.3636, Resolution 1360x768, most graphic settings are on high or extreme.  I have checked the textures and all appear to be good and checked the cfg file which also is good.

 

Is the texture folder name correct? I.e., does it match the value in aircraft.cfg? Same with the model and sim values.

Even though "everything looks right"  Something ain't.  Maybe post the [fltsim.x] for a good repaint vs the {fltsim.x] for
Waglasia texture.  There may be a very slight difference.

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱

To be sure, you can test it with AI-Aircraft Editor. Although it's called AI, it can still find wrong entries on all planes, even these, you don't see.

If everything is right, maybe the textures are bad. The textures may be for another model of the plane, other version, other make. It happended to me a lot of times, I got a new livery then it didn't work and I saw it had different texture names for the version of aicraft I had. The repaint was made vor a previous version. Or you get liveries for a carenado airplane but are using the flysimware one.

Shaders could also be. Delete the shader cache to force recompile and reload of shaders.

I wish I could remember the name of it, but there's an app that will go through the texture folder and "fix" textures. Maybe someone else can remember it. As I recall it checked bmp and dds files for the correct format. "Dxt fixer" may be the app I'm thinking of. Worth a shot.

Do you mean Dxtfixerx? I thought it only worked for FS9.

It still works, but is not a solution for the problem from this thread.
