Upgraded to Windows 10 - Partly missing terminals and black spaces **SOLVED**

(1/3) > >>

Gerpilot:
Hi,

i upgraded to Windows 10 Professional a few days ago. Migration went well.
FSX SP2 is running, but i have the problem of partly missing terminals and black squares (please see attachements).
They reappear when getting really close.

These appear at all couatl driven airports (also flightbeam), e.g. KMEM, KLAX KLAS, KIAH, KSFO HD, PHNL, etc.

What i did so far after reading several posts:

 - I updated my NVIDIA  drivers --> Clean install
 - I checked any compatibility mode of fsx.exe couatl.exe --> No compatibility mode running.
 - I downloaded the latest KLAX installer and re-installed. (as Admin, AV and firewall turned off)
 - I then downloaded and re-installed GSX (as Admin, AV and firewall turned off)
 - In game i was advised of a new version of Addon Manager. I downloaded and in installed the Standalone Addon Manager (as Admin, AV and firewall turned off). Version: 3.0.0.15
 - I deleted and resetted my FSX.cfg

Couatl and Addon Manager are showing in the menue bar.

My system:
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 10586)
Processor: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5650  @ 2.67GHz (6 CPUs), ~2.7GHz
Memory: 12288MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 12286MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750

Any help and advice is kindly apreciated.

Thank you

Dirk

The antivirus doesn't have *anything* to do with this. If the antivirus was a problem, the programs wouldn't even start, and there would be NO objects whatsoever.

If instead, if the objects appear when you are getting close, I'm afraid I can only repeat and confirm the only known causes are:

- A problem with video drivers and/or FSX settings, which can be fixed by resetting the drivers to default and/or resetting the FSX.CFG

- FSX running in "Compatibiity" mode

- Another 3rd party addon that starts with FSX in Compatibility mode.

Sorry, but there are no other known causes and no other known fixes.


In addition to that, I can only confirm the problem doesn't have anything to do with Windows 10, which is surely supported, and it's the only OS we use at FSDT right now.

Hi Umberto and thanks for your hints.

- Done. No improvement. Reset to my backed up NI-Profile and added the tweaks from Addon Manager again to FSX.cfg.

- No. Right click --> Properties --> Compatibility shows unchecked

- I checked the programs in exe.xml and none of them is running in compatibility mode.

I just wonder, because this setup ran well on my Win7.
Well, it runs well now too, except for the problem stated above at all my FSDT and Fightbeam airports.

Anymore hints maybe?

Kind regards

Dirk

The only thing I can think of, is a difference in video driver settings, which is why I said to try a video driver clean installation.

What's an "NI-Profile" ? Are you using an additional video driver tweaker ? Don't. Just make a clean driver installation. Not all tweaks are consistent and usable between different versions of the drivers and OS.

Hi Umberto and thanks for your further support.

NI= NVIDIA Inspector.

New Observation from my side:
The problem appears in the default Glieder (as shown in my attachments) and in the QW 757, but not in the AS Airbus.

Has it something to do with viewpoints, Zoom settings, etc.?

Any hint?

Thanks and kind regards

Dirk
