The magic containers
« on: July 26, 2016, 02:43:33 pm »
Hi,
as you can see: containers are visible in a distance, but disappear when the truck comes closer to the gate. Whats wrong?
Further it looks a bit strange to have the two trucks in a row like one.
Is it worse an answer?
Best

Doesn't happen here, and nobody has reported this specific issue before. Usually, when there's a problem like this, which is caused by a problem with video settings and/or video driver settings and/or the sim running in Compatibility mode, the opposite happens, and objects appears only when they are very close.

It's the first time ever someone has reported the opposite.

Of course, nothing in the GSX code can cause this, and the container models hasn't been changed or updated in years so, the only possible explanation left, is the problem might be similar to the one explained above, just happening to you in reverse.

As discussed in all the other threads about objects disappearing in the distance, try all the following:

- Reset your video driver to default

- If that doesn't work, try to delete your FSX.CFG, so a new one will be created with all default settings. Apply only the HIGHMEMFIX = 1 tweak and nothing else, if you use FSX.

- If that doesn't work, be sure you are not running the sim or any of the addons that starts with it in Compatibility mode.
