Black Planes Problem

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

 

For first time in 4 years, all my planes are whole black or half black or have black wings. Never happened to me before. I did not make any changes to FSX settings.

 

Pleas [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ist.

 

The specs for my laptop are:

 

HP Pavilion DV6885E Special Edition laptop with T8100 Centrino Duo Core 2.10 GHZ with 3 GB ram, 250 GB, 256 mb NVIDIA GeForce 8400 M GS, 1248x800 resolution, and Vista Premium

 

I am using FSX without SP1 and SP2.

 

Thanks,

 

Aharon

black textures would indicate graphics issue or your aircraft textures are corrupt.

 

check your FSX settings, if its got an option for reflective textures, disable or enable it, you may also have to check your graphics card settings

It could also mean missing textures, meaning u moved the folder or deleted the folder, or when copying files, didn't copy enuf folders, mainly the texture ones like E mentioned

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

 

While I still have absolutely no idea where to find DX10 to deactivate, I had decided to uninstall recently installed FSX freeware TBPB Barbados international airport scenery and then used two FSX Deluxe cds to activate automatic repair function that did 20 minutes worth of repairing to my FSX.

 

Presto my planes are now showing colorful textures as normal and I hope it would remain forever.

 

Meanwhile I am going to spend next 7 days rigorously testing FSX and freeware planes to be sure there is nothing wrong.

 

Pssst psst I do not think I have DX10 or even DX9 considering the fact I cannot even find it on my FSX or even on my laptop LOL

 

Regards,

 

Aharon

ha ha , DX10 is an option on the Settings-General-Display section (somewhere in there) or maybe Hardware. DX9 and DX10 are components installed during windows, and I believe 7 already comes with DX11, but I could be wrong.

 

Glad you have your textures back, you wouldn't be want to caught with your planes' pants down, that honor is only reserved for the pilots

If you didn't have DX9 FS9 or FSX would not even run.

 

Cheers!
