Black areas/patches around the airport (LFSB) **SOLVED**
« 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!

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