I have FSX with Vista. I have previously installed this scenery and it was ok, albeit it was the initial version. I have now re-installed the scenery v1.2, having first uninstalled the previous version through the correct setup and options program.
I am left with several black box areas throughout the aircraft parking areas of EGGD.
I have the following FSX settings
Global Texture Res Very High
Mesh Comp 50
Mes Res 10
Text Res 60cm
Scenery Comp Very Dense
Autogen Very Dense
Special Effects Detail High
Would appreciate any help
Thanks
Rob

Take offs are optional. Landings are mandatory.

Thanks for your help, Norman & Gary
Yes, I do have SP2 installed, just checked to confirm.
I have included as an attachment a screen dump of the problem.
Thanks again

UK2000 Scenery aren't currently in a state to support the use of Xtreme Airports with SP2. They are currently incompatable. Updates are being developed and will be available to download for free by current users.  Ryan. |

I also see the black areas with Bristol Xtreme, Rob. I have FSX/Acceleration running on Vista 64 bit and have assumed the problem was one of Xtreme series incompatibility with SP2. All was well with SP1.
I don't see the same at the other Xtreme series airports though. I have Glasgow, Edinburgh and Gatwick installed.

Thanks Charles.
I can't be bothered to uninstall SP2 and the risk of having to re-install all the other add-ons. I will wait patiently for any updates from UK2000.
But thanks for the comment.

The black ares you illustrate are a result of SP2. There is a work around, but for the life of me I cannot remeber what it is at the moment. Give me a little time and I will come back to you.

edit: it is a missing texture file. Post a screenshot of your Britol Xtreme scenery folder and I will identify the file for you.

I don't think you would find a missing texture file in the scenery folder  George Edit. I see the black textures on one of my machines (8800GTX) but not the other (7900GTS). The contents of the scenery and texture folders are exacly the same  8800GTX:  7900GTS:  |

I take it that Rob needs to post a screenshot of his Bristol Xtreme -> Texture folder?   |

Wel, you have the correct number of files there; I had this problem myself, and found a cure for it. I'll have to research further to come up with the naswer.

Perhaps Gary can come in with this. All I can remeber now is that it was to do with a file named Smudgepalnes.bmp
