SouthportGuy Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 My flights always start out fine. Plane looks fine. But somewhere along the line the airplane's exterior paint/livery disappears and I'm left with just a white aircraft. All the other parked 747's look like they have the same problem. I regularly fly KLAX to KSFO practicing various failures. Is it because the airports can be a bit more detailed/sucking up CPU resources as I get close, so certain textures don't show? I fly default 747 with Air Canada livery I added and has always run fine for months. No add-on airports. Only other variable is that I use GSX.

mrzippy Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Sounds like a Graphics Card is losing it's cool....literally. Any dust clogged fans or filters on the computer? HIGHMEMFIX=1 in the FSX.cfg file? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthportGuy Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Did some clean-up/maintenance and yeah, lots of dust to remove. (well . . .not lots but enough to clog the fan exhaust). Flew this morning with no problems. Thanks guys.
