I did exactly What the tutorial on this site said, and as expected, the SR-71 isnt really working.

Is that the Alphasim SR-71?

Looks like a graphics memory problem.  Do you have a graphis card, or are you running from "on-board" memory?

please upload all images to Simviation before posting them on a thread.


now... did you read the "readme" files included in the download? those are much clearer than the tutorials fround anywhere. they include specific instructions on where to place specific files for a correct installation.

I conclude that you only copied the airplane folder? ... you might want to copy the rest of the files in each other folder (gauges, effects, sounds) to the corresponding folders in your FS installation folder.

Are you running DX10?
My specs... A hard drive, motherboard, graphics card, some memory, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor - in other words, nothing special.

Yea i have a 9800GTX+ graphics card, and DX10.  I put the textures in the textures folder, and its still doing it.  According to the read me, all you have to do it copy and paste the SR-71 folder into simobjects>aircraft.  Ill mess around with it and try some other planes and see if it still does it

DX10 is notorious for having problems with textures and 99.9% of all addons. just use DX9 as DX10 does almost nothing in FSX. it's only meant to be a preview anyways... it's not the real full DX10. so basically unless you want to be able to use most addons (and by most I really mean all lol) just uncheck the DX10 preview box in the settings
