Where did the water go?

[Habu1967]

FSX-SE - Windows 10 - Went to fly out of my home field (KFOK) and I have no rivers or lakes. I have ORBX products loaded, but this occurs even with Default selected in FTX Central. I haven't installed anything new lately. Ideas?

 

Thanks,

Sounds like your shaders got messed with. I've never done it, but supposedly if you empty out the shaders and shaders10 folder (I have FSX boxed, so may be different for Steam Edition), FSX will rebuild them. I wouldn't DELETE them but SAVE them somewhere in case it doesn't fix your problem and you could delete the newly created shaders and move the originals back. Also your ORBX products may have placed some special shaders into these folders, idk.

 

You also might want to check if the ORBX product has any kind of shader rebuild utility.

Global Warming? Probably not this soon, but soon enough our grandchildren will experience it! Frankly I have all listed but Windows 10 on my three FSX computers and haven't seen that issue occur. I agree, it sounds as though you need to need to let everything rebuild on its' own from scratch.

 

GOOD LUCK!!

Go in to FTX Central. Click on Hybrid Mode then Click it again. Now hit the apply button and see if that helps. I Have had this problem where the ocean turns to land and doing the above fixed it.

Les, did you ever get it fixed?

 

Since you got Steam FSX, you can...

 

Verify integrity of game cache

 

Load Steam.

1. From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.

2. Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game cache... button.

 

Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.

 

This should put it back to default, and I think the oceans would return. Then you could do what MrUnSavory said with the FTX Central.

 

I have a few Steam games and this always got them to work again.

Do you have Ultimate Terrain X?

If so, click on the desktop icon and run the validation tool

The water should reappear..

It was indeed the Game Cache.

 

Thanks again,

Pretty area! I just went there with ORBX Global and it's very attractive, even in the rain. I notice there are a ton of GA airports all around there. I beet it sounds like an angry hornets nest on pretty Saturdays!;)
