Hi All! Just dloaded some software that looks real bad as far as ground textures go- green & brown square blobs.... I uninstalled it and the blobs won't go away!!! I also went to my back up and no dice either.... so can I uninstall FSX & reinstall without losing my 3rd party software(I have allot of dload Scenery).... I do have all my software backed up on CD's, but will they reinstall without problems(many have Key#'s)? I've had FSX for about three yrs, so you can imagine the work I've put into it.... I know that what I did was STUPID, STUPID & STUPID ..... any help would be very helpful..... Thanks Hello All! Well my problem went away.... Worse thing is.... Don't how I fixed it!.... Was going to do a repair on FSX which is a real pain.... had to do an updated back up of all my files(lots).... ran some software like GEX & UTX to check em out.... Went to fly one more time before the FIX & BINGO - all my original textures were back! & lookin good!.... There must have been a backup texture file somewhere that replaced the bad one.... who knows! So all's well that ends well..... if all my problems could be this easy I'd be a happy man! Thanks to all the viewers - to bad I can't tell ya how I fixed it LOL I've been having some texture problems with Flight Sim X (assuming that's what you mean by FSX).
Not sure what causes it, but it comes and goes.Hey Carbon Dudeoxide "How ya doin" Yes I do mean Flight Sim X.... Like I said I think my back up textures were in the Ground Environment X file & that did it, but I'm not sure..... As far as your textures go, I've found that Defragging once a week(If you fly alot)helps the whole FSX program RUN smoother. I also use a defrag program Ultimate Defrag 2008 from http:www.pcaviator.com that puts my FSX files on the out side of the HDD platter for high performance ....For Texture programs I would only go with the trusted one's, like Flight 1's Ultimate Terrain Products & GEX(Ground Environment X) head over to the flight one store & forum http://www.flight1.com ..... they have the FSX experts there.... Again I did a stupid thing by using a cheap program that caused me Hurt, but I came out lucky.... Hope my experience helped you! Be safe..... I don't play Flight Sim X a lot, so it doesn't really bother me. Thanks anyways.

I use Smart Defrag by IObit but I'll have a look at your suggestion. Smart Defrag is good..... I just like the Ult-De a little better.... FSX is the only game (not really a game) I run, it keeps your actual flying skills sharp.... That's why I went NUTS with the Texture thing.... I'm 63(soon to be 64) & disabled, so I can't pilot a plane ALONE..... My wife does like the Big Fish Games like Hidden Objects.... OK I've bored you to tears.... Thanks for your interest..... Try a flying lesson at your local airport sometime.... "WARNNING" If you do - you'll be HOOKED! Quote from: robit on July 08, 2009, 07:06:59 AM
