Title: Black areas/patches around the airport (LFSB) **SOLVED**
Post by: disco79stu on January 10, 2020, 05:55:41 pm
Just bought it and I see some strange blackish textures/areas around the airport. Any idea what that could be?

Looks like video memory corruption. Try to recreate the shaders, by removing this folder:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3d V4\Shaders

Hi Umberto

Just installed the demo, having the same issues.

We cannot reproduce it here. What other add-ons you have installed ?

Unfortunately, that didn't help. I still have these areas around LFSB and JUST around LFSB. Every other region/airport is fine.
Anything else I can try? ... I do have ORBX global and vector installed btw. Could they be interfering?

I am pretty sure it's an ORBX thing. It looks like the ORBX night textures are coming through.

No idea, we only test with default. Try this, remove these two files ( with the sim NOT running ):

Addon Manager\Fsdreamteam\LFSB\scenery\LC_4915.BGL
Addon Manager\Fsdreamteam\LFSB\scenery\LC_5015.BGL

And see if it's fixed.

Yes, that fixed it!

What exactly are those files doing? Can I just keep them out?

Another question Umberto, where can the pax inside the terminal be disabled? Is there a config file somewhere?

It's a local landclass that calls default landclass textures and, if it happens with OrbX only, it seems the replacement textures from OrbX are either missing or corrupted.

GSX Settings -> Simulation -> "Enable Airport walkers"

okay, I'll take that as a "walkaround" and set those to .OFF for now.
Thanks!

Works for me as well and the option is found. Thank you

Same problem and same addons. It's not a shader problem. Disabeling the two files workes well.  ;)

Hi,

Disabling the files to *.off works for me also. Using ORBX. I hope that I don't have to edit the files every time I use LiveUpdate. Maybe Umberto can edit the update program so it sees that the files are *.off and stay that way?

Same problem and same addons. It's not a shader problem.

I initially assumed it was a shader problem, because the textures looked corrupted. Instead, it's caused by the OrbX replacement texture for that particular landclass to be either missing or corrupted, which means any other scenery that would use that particular landclass would cause the same problem.

We made this local landclass because, in the default scenery, there are built-up areas too close to the airport that are not supposed to be there, so we corrected it with a landclass and, of course, if the default landclass is not missing or corrupted, it will work fine.

In any case, we moved out the two landclasses in a separate folder named LFSB\scenery\optional_LC_dontuse_with_OrbX, so by default they will be disabled now.

Hi, I do not use Orbx but after each LiveUpdate the two above files are missing in my scenery folder. As fas as I understood the post, only people having Orbx running, should remove those files. But why does LiveUpdate delete them as Orbx is not installed on my PC? I had once installed Orbx Central and the scenery libraries but uninstalled the program and the scenery libraries as well. Is the installation routine looking for orbx in the registry and is it possible that there are some left overs which were not uninstalled properly?

Regards Roland

The update doesn't check for OrbX and, as explained in the previous post, we moved out the two landclasses in a separate folder named LFSB\scenery\optional_LC_dontuse_with_OrbX, so by default they will be disabled now.
