Ground & Road Texture Problem

Kalnon

Members +
I really need some help here. I am having a problem that is driving me crazy, and I just cannot figure out how to fix it. I use Orbx scenery including Base, Vectors, openLC packages and airports. The problem is that I installed some new airports that I just bought from Orbx Central and suddenly when I start a flight, all of the ground textures and road textures seem to be underneath the mesh layer. I've gone over my scenery library order and everything is in the order it is supposed to be. I asked an AI chatbot for help and it suggested deleting the terrian.cfg and replacing it with a new one and then using the Sync Simulator option in Orbx Central but this did not help. I've tried searching this problem on the internet but found nothing helpful.


I am really stuck here and at my wits end, I do not know what else to try.


I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can provide.


Thank you

Here's a screenshot of what I am talking about:

Notice how the roads and ground textures almost have a fuzzy quality to them.

I am sure that tech support at Orbx forums will be more than happy to help you. Your kind of question requires professional help and that would be from Orbx forums.

@Kalnon would you mind sharing the specs of your PC please? Your graphics settings would help too.

We need that at least to say something remotely intelligible.

I haven't asked them yet, but I will if no one else is able to help me. I'm skeptical that they can help because I have a mixed track record with them helping me with problems, sometimes they're able to help me, sometimes not.

I think it's because I use an old simulator and they don't seem to want to put in the effort to help me all the time.
