Military AI Works

DX9. I just flew to NAS Key West, its one of the worst for black. Here check it out:







Its the textures for supporting buildings that are on all of the bases like the practice carrier trap on the runways, or IFOLS lights, or some trucks and barrels, boxes, and a bunch of buildings. These were from Oceana before I took off:





Its so annoying, and its really quite a turnoff when you are looking forward to flying. I wonder if something could be interfering with the textures, I don't know. Its really frustrating. My sim feels infected.

I will ask you one last time Dan, what happens when you re install a package that you were seeing the problems with? Does it stay the same Black textures or does it fix it?

I don't know anything about FSX... but would it do anything if he tried copying the textures from the MAIW Scernery Objects folder into the global texture folder? Maybe bypass any scenery activation or folder naming errors?

Again seeing mostly ABO items, so that's our trouble library for certain.

Same problem. I reinstalled every package manually in order last night. Started FSX. Same problems. I am going to take all the other add on scenery out to see if there is a conflict. If that doesn't help, I am done with FSX. I spent 4 hours reinstalling all the packages one by one in order. I have all the scenery files and all the textures from every package. There is no logical reason for this, I have been doing this since 2006 so I feel like I know what I am doing when it comes to basic problems, I have done all of the normal troubleshooting, even reinstalling and it persists. It makes no sense. Its almost paranormal it has no logical reason to not show.

And what do you mean " I will ask you one last time" .... have I not responded to you previously or something? I did not understand what you meant by one last time, I don't remember not responding to anything you have ever asked me.

I agree with you click, but i just reinstalled every scenery last night as a matter of fact i am still awake from all this work and I cannot believe that did not fix it. I am beside myself, because there is no logical reason for this to be happening,. I manually extracted everything to temp folders and moved them across. I checked everything. It is beyond frustrating, when I loaded up FSX after spending all that time installing and the black tower was still sitting there at Atsugi with the black blast shields behind the P-3's I almost threw my laptop into the wall. I am beyond pissed with this. I could understand if there was an error or a mistake, but I just got done with a meticulous re-installation and this should not be happening. What I know is obviously the bgl's are showing but they are not textured. So its either missing textures or there is a corruption or conflict somewhere. If I don't figure this out before shut down I am giving up with FSX that is how frustrated I am with this.

Quick note:
I just loaded up FSX with NO add on scenery other than MAIW sceneries. Black at Atsugi. Its literally unbelievable. I feel like I have tried everything, and there is just no possible way to get these textures to show. I have been on several flights already, replaced the entire texture folder, I am out of options. I am just waiting for one person to spark what is really going on here, because I am lost.

Dan,

I'm going to PM you a link shortly to the latest version of the raw ABO objects library, not part of a package.

When you have it, unzip all the textures to a temporary location, then move them inside "..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Addon Scenery\MAIW Scenery Library Objects\texture" and overwrite everything. Make sure that the final folder is called "texture", not "textures", that DX10 is off and that the "MAIW Scenery Library Objects" folder is activated in the FSX scenery library and placed just above the last default folder (something like Andrews AFB if I'm not mistaken). I know you've confirmed some of these things before but I want you to check them again.

If that doesn't work, move all the textures from the MAIW ABO objects library into your "..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Texture" folder and see if that works, but it's really the last resort...

As always I suggest you make a backup first before you overwrite stuff.

Thank you, I appreciate it. I am in a last resort position now, I have tried everything. The textures used to work before, I didn't notice these objects go black until just recentlly. I lost the practice carrier traps on the runways, lightpoles, and random buildings that all went black, on a majority of my airfields. It has been frustrating, I actually re-installed every package last night manually with no luck. I am really frustrated and I don't want to give up until its solved. I will try whatever you send me, I am here waiting on it.

Dan, NAS Key West is the same for other FSX uses regarding landclass vs. water issues, no fix and not really that much of a deal to me.

Problem solved and topic locked.

See this thread for the solution.
