textures not appearing on added-on aircraft

Postby YSHT » Wed Dec 29, 2010 10:11 pm

they were working fine for a couple of days (i reinstalled fsx on my new computer, i'm well acquainted with adding & tweaking aircraft & repaints) but all of a sudden the textures just aren't appearing in either the preview pane or in the sim. i've been fiddling with it over a few days now and am wondering if anyone has an insight??

for info, repaints of fsx stock & acceleration aircraft work fine, even downloaded repaints, but not on added aircraft. also, i can see the pilot & cockpit textures but just not the external ones.

IIRC, the usual texture not appearing is "DX10 preview".  But I've never messed with it,so it could be something else.

check if show all variiations is clicked, I had forgotten about it myself and only saw a few variations in the textures/repaints available.

Which ones have you downloaded recently that you have this problem with?

Gives others a chance to download the same and check for problems.
DXpreview will only appear in certain OS's

May the Mynd be with you.
So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs.

I suspect that Boikat is right. Try disabling DirectX 10 Preview from FSX Display Settings.

This problem only affects FS9 aircraft in FSX.
