Texture Issue

Ok I am having a really weird problem with FSX right now when I load certain aircraft or repaints, the textures are shiny black in some areas or all over the aircraft but this does not happen with all aircraft.

Are you using all FSX native??

Are you using DX10 or bloom?
 
If you forget to put an alpha channel in a texture, it will do that too, I know, LOL :ernae:
 
I am using all FSX native and all textures were working fine up until a day ago all texture have an alpha channel and a texture cfg
Here is a picture of the ozx goose VH-IRM

This is above me I'm affraid..

BUT...I have seen this before, but do not know the fix...But someone here does...Try and be patient....It will come


Have you tried a FSX repair or rebuilding your FSX config?
 
Is there any chance that you by accident changed from say 32 bit color to 16 bit ? Or 24 bit?
 
This is of no help probably, but as bananabob said it looks like an issue with the alpha. I resized some textures a while back, and I accidentally messed with a reflective texture for glass. All the windows on the plane looked like the skin of yours does. Could your problem have something to do with your envmap, or another global texture perhaps?
You should probably try a repair from your FSX disk.
 
I do not believe that it is an issue with alpha as only certain repaints have been messed up and all were working fine a few days before. As for changing the color I have not been into the control panel for a long time and every time I start flight sim my computer automatically changes the color settings. I am currently in the process of repairing FSXA
 
Hey Wingmate,

You're not alone!!!! :icon_lol:

I've the same problem with the texture HD. (Goose, C182RG and Bell 206)



The texture work on day and a day after I've a Silver plane.^^

I've an GTX280 and i'm not running DX10....

PS/ If I wait a part minutes after choosing my plane, the HD paint is perfect!
In my opinion the graphic card muss loading the texture. (4096X4096 is a lot of works...)

:wavey:
 
OK...Now I have seen this..

Are you using any of those new fangled tweaks ...???

Its the bufferpoole tweak...


I used it once and it did this same thing....
 
All I know is thats what it did to me real bad...I used the tweak for 2 minutes, long enough to see my textures like that...


Take it out and see what things look like..

I thin k that tweak has more success on th i7 X58 rigs...
 
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm Man...Its getting tougher now..


Try to see your ram ussage


Load FSX..Windows mode...Minimize the window.

Open Task Manager.... Select performance..Check your Memory stats( Physical ).......

Then look at Page file...

See if any of those look off...


Do you get any OOM errors ever ?
