All,
Recently I noticed that scenery around my aircraft is displaying as blank light blue tiles. (See images in this post).
This occurs outside of a short radius from the aircraft. ie The immediate area around the aircraft, say 2 miles, is ok, then surrounded by a ring of blue as well as some random missing tiles further afield. It occurs in all global locations and airports - US, Australia etc. (Even in the default Friday Harbor flight now has the issue).
The blank tiles do "fill-in" when I get close to them, however at the same time, other areas "blank out".
I have a NVIDIA GeForce 555M and have reasonably good performance around 20fps.
Just prior to seeing the issue I had updated to the latest NVIDIA driver - I was forced to update the driver because a Windows 7 patching update disabled my FSX - it would refuse to load. The dreaded "An error has occurred FSX will close" on startup. Updating the video driver then solved the problem of FSX not loading.
I then ran a series of night flights and unfortunately may not have noticed if this texture issue occurred coincident with the NVIDIA driver update. Nevertheless I don't see how I can roll that back as FSX will then not load.
I am running with DX10 off as recommended by PMDG. I have tried various graphic slider settings and resolutions but the problem will not go away.
Finally, I also tried the FSX Acceleration "repair" install option, but again, no fix.
Any thoughts?
cheers
