LAX taxiway texture looks wrong.
« on: October 17, 2012, 02:05:49 am »
Not sure if this is the way it should look at LAX, but this is the kind of texture I get when taxing southbound from runway 7R to the other side of the airport.

You mean you get this problem ONLY at that specific position, but the rest of the airport looks normal ?

Check the following:

- No "Compatibility" mode should be enabled for FSX.EXE, if you use Vista or Windows 7. Right-click on FSX.EXE, select "Properties", select the  "Compatibility" tab and be sure *everything* in that page is turned OFF

- Be sure you don't use "Transparency Antialiasing" ( also known as "AAA Adaptive Antialiasing" on ATI cards ) enabled. This is suggested on the KLAX manual too.

That's correct, this is the taxiway that runs between runway 6R and 7L. This is the ATC Non-Visibility Area. I use Windows 7, and I did made sure that everything in the compatibility tab is turned off. I use Nvidia card, and all my graphics are fine and stabled. FYI, I have all US FSDreamteam airports, and this is the only airport I'm having this problem with.

I haven't asked if your graphic settings are fine and stable. I've specifically asked to check THAT particular option "Transparency Antialiasing" to be OFF.

KLAX it's the only one that can be potentially affected by the two above issue. Since nobody else ever reported a partial disappearance of objects, except those that had one of those two options enabled, that's seems to be the only possible explanation.

If there was a problem with software, antivirus, or outdated KLAX or Addon Manager, you wouldn't see *anything* not just a single bit missing, which is why I've asked if only that area was affected.

Off or on makes no difference. Every other airport looks fine except this one.

That, as I've said, there's probably another problem with your graphic settings (probably a tweak in the video driver or simply a bug) that nobody else reported it before and, fact that only KLAX is affected, simply confirms all the software is running fine (otherwise you wouldn't see any buildings) and the problem is your video card settings, because KLAX use the video card more heavily than our other airports.
