Title: texture disappearing after video driver update
Post by: fhgh on February 01, 2014, 11:03:44 pm

Hi guys! I'm afraid I've had the insane idea of updating my nvidia card drivers. I downloaded a program  called geforce experience that's supposed to check for updates for the graphic card. I installed the updates and started experiencing some problems with GSX and some of its textures (marchaller, vehicles...) I actually started experiencing graphic problems with fsx itself which is even worse i might say.. does anyone know how I could go back to what it was? everything worked perfectly fine before. Should I simply uninstall the graphic card drivers and install back the ones that came with the machine? I'm just afraid that by doing so i might end up messing everything up even more.. I wanted to restore the system to a previous point but the oldest restore point is after the update of the drivers.. Alternatively, could anyone give me a link where some solutions have been suggested already, please? Any help or suggestion would be really appreciated!
thank you in advance!

It's ok to use new drivers but, it's possible you had wrong tweaks/settings coming from the old drivers, that would cause issues to FSX with the new one.

- Try to use the customized driver setup option, and make a "clean" install.

- Reset the FSX settings to default, by removing the following file:

%APPDATA%\Microsof\FSX\FSX.CFG

This will force FSX to rebuild a new config with all default settings. After doing this, be sure you apply the HIGHMEMFIX tweak in the Addon Manager, save the settings and restart FSX.
