So my computer underwent maintenance this week, which saw the hard drive replaced. Fortunately all my data was backed up and they encountered no errors in returning the PC to normal, it operates extremely well now. However since I have had the PC returned I've encountered two errors, with FSX and Aerosoft's GATC - All other programmes including ASN etc work without issues. With FSX I'm greeted with ''FSX has encountered a fatal error and needs to close.'' - Deleting my fsx.cfg doesn't fix the issue. With Aerosoft's GATC, an image is displayed (below). Does anyone have an inkling as to what happened?

Seems the website is down again the last few days. :(

Life saver! Lol, just checked nvidia inspector and anisotropic filtering mode was set to off/linear, don't exactly know how it reset overnight though?? But anyway set it to 16x and back to picture perfect! Thanks guys, happy flying!

I had DX10 installed but removed it, so it looks like Steve's installer did not uninstall? If I remove the Shaders10 folder should it disappear? Thanks!

So something really strange happened to my fsx overnight, totally surprised to see the ground displaying like this (kind of fuzzy or something) since this morning, does anyone know what's gone wrong?

I believe the ILS is still aligned to default scenery however I am using Eiresim Cork Scenery. I originally developed the AFCAD for the developer but I'm wondering if it is possible for someone to give me guidance on how to re-align the ILS to the current runway layout?

Hi everyone! I'm just wondering if someone who is skilled in setting ILS alignment for airports in AFCAD's could possibly help me with an issue I have. The issue I have is at EICK (Cork, ORK, Ireland) the ILS is not aligned correctly (can send just the AFCAD if someone can help) and I'm wondering if someone could possibly reset it or edit it to align it? I have also provided the charts below for EICK. I realise this is purely a request for good nature and I will be entirely grateful, Charts: https://charts.aero/airport/EICK Thank you so much for reading this and for your time. Cathal.

Hi I've recently experienced the following problem and I've never had it before, The problem has occurred at: Amsterdam Alicante Malaga Common to all three? Transavia. Also the fact that just 25 mins ago I was taxiing to the active 13 at LEMG whilst a Transavia 737-700 was on final approach, the sound went the image stayed then - ''FS2004 has encountered an error and needs to close'' has anyone else noticed this problem? The texture I believe to be at fault is available here in the library: b738w_transavia.zip It displays like this in my sim and the problem only occurs during sunrise/sunset and night.

Problem solved guys, I again attempted to re-install all the default textures via CD2, CAB3 and re-installed the REX theme and the problem has gone! Thanks for your help

The problem re-appears :unsure:

Hi! Thank you I tried clear weather and the problem is gone so it must be a texture issue? ?

Ah ok :unsure: any tips on a good clean install for Windows 7 64-bit, 2x GeForce 8800GTX? (Dell XPS720 - 4GB RAM @ 2.66GHz./4 CPU)

Yes, no other texture issues.

Hi guys, I found the cumulus1 file and found I already had it in my texture directory, I copied all texture flights from CAB3 into my texture directory and the problem remains. I've re-installed my REX textures again and still the problem remains. I'm thinking this is more hardware related, could my graphic drivers be going?

Thanks, I'll attempt to find it now.

How do I get it back? Thanks! :rolleyes:

Some weird textures are appearing on my skyline, anyone know what's happening?

Hi John, I followed your advice in installing the new sky textures and the problem still exists. I really don't know what is wrong here I have perfect FPS (locked @ 30), I'm thinking it could be a texture load problem I'm using REX Overdrive and this problem is very recent.

Hi all, haven't been using FS9 in a while been busy with studies but on returning to my near-perfect setup after a 4 month absence I've noticed an issue I've never experienced before, this seems to happen during all times of the day. Hopefully someone can help me with this. Thanks,

Hi everyone, after scanning my system and getting a list of missing Alpha Channels I proceed to DXTBmp, im just wondering how I create the Alpha Channel and how I save it? Also will this give any improvement to Aerosoft Schiphol X?

Thanks so much for your help Mel! after playing around with my contrast/brightness and gamma settings for nearly 6hrs! yes 6hrs! I finally have fixed the banding issue :) Thanks again Mel!! Regards, Cathal

Have you any recommend brightness & contrast settings? Using the display calibrator I always seem to end up with things looking worse. Gamma settings have a lot to do with my issue I'm thinking, and once again thanks for all your help Mel I hope this issue can be solved! Regards, Cathal

I never had this before on much lower spec computers :( Thanks for your help so far regardless, Mel. Regards, Cathal

So would a new LCD fix this problem? or is it hardware related?

But how would that affect the whole system? its the hole computer like this! But its most prevalent in FS9. So its something outside of FS9 is the issue just need to find out what it is :(
