flickering textures
« on: January 23, 2010, 08:24:42 am »
Have purchased this Phnl. I read manual, don't see any settings tips.
Manual is good but I want to know if there are settings that you would suggest?
I also have problem with flickering textures on different objects. Thank you for help

Just the fsdreamscapes Hawaii Mesh, and a Honolulu downtown addon. I also have a few boat addons but nothing scenery releated other than what I mentioned. I removed all of my scenerys that were around the HNL airport. Do you need a screen shot?

Ok, the next usual question is: does the problem disappear, if you disable those sceneries in the Scenery Library ?

If yes, then it's problem a mesh issue, which might be fixed with the same fix we'll have to do in any case for the FS Genesis.

Thank you for response. I have Megasecenery X and a downtown scenery like other gentlemen post. You still not answer question about scenery setting?

Virtuali,

I, too, have noticed this flickering around the departure end of Runway 8R and especially on Taxiways RC and R8.  And, I do NOT have MegaScenery X or FSGenesis but, FSGlobal 2010.

I also made a video of it; if you really want to see it, I'll upload it.  But, here is a pic for now...

EDIT: Here is the Video, too...

Those problem comes on using third party scenery.
If you install PHNL on a fresh FSX, you don't have any flickering ground.
You have to imagine that I have to check all add-on for compatibility.
It's not really simple.
We will work on finding a solution that solve the problems.
Thank you
Fabrizio

I see flickering texture on objects like baggage carts, and parked cars.  It's really annoying.

I fixed the flickering textures on the baggage carts by adding mipmaps to the associated texture files.
Google 'adding mipmaps to textures in FSX' for help on how to do it.

Mr. Fabrizio,

Of Course...  I will endeavor to verify my graphic settings as well to insure that it isn't something else that was overlooked and will post any new information.
Thank you for taking the time to respond to the issues.

Only issue I've noticed is I landed on Runway 2R and when I started to exit, the runway turned into grass. Looked like default showing through, but PHNL is well above the default scenery in the library, and I do not have third party Hawaii scenery of any type.

I was having a similar issue of default grass/ground showing through the end of runways.  Fixed by switching to 2m mesh resolution.  I am using FSGenesis V2 mesh as well.
