Black skin or black cockpit problem

[emresukhoi]

 

 

 

Hi guys, What is the cause of this problem?This is not model or graphic card problem, wtf problem?

Sometimes the cockpit or the exterior coating is black...WHY?????

How can I solve?

[+Trotski]

it maybe the skin you are using is set up differently, the templates may be different, and do not work with the model you are using, or they may be named differently. you need to go into the skin folder for the aircraft, and ensure it is firstly compatible with the aircraft model you are using, and you need to see if the skins are named the same way as the default aircraft.....Sorry, I'm having trouble being clear, in a nut shell, some skins dont work with certain models, as they may have been made for an older model of that aircraft, or they could be a first generation skin for SF 1 so the format maybe different.

This problem is not always happening, But I do not understand why.

Sometimes there is no problem.Sometimes black coatings or black cockpit parts.

:(

hmmmmm.....dunno, try unistalling that aircraft, then re downloading it, and putting it back into the sim, is it always on that one skin ?

this my flightengine.ini

[+Hans Topp]

Has you check the plane ini, maybe it read only and dont let appear the skin??

[+Trotski]

SF does random stuff like this at times, but its usually for some innocuous reason, never had this particular issue myself, so its a bit odd to say the least, is the skin you are using, the default skin for the Dornier, or is it an extra add on one ? We need to establish that first off, second, do you experience the same issue with any other aircraft ? and finally, are you fully patched up. I have never flown the Alpha jet in game yet, so I have not seen if the issue repeats on me.

[Ccastrog]

The same happened to me. I fixed it by updating my SF2 to the latest version.

[+Soulfreak]

I had some similar problems.

But only on extremely modded terrains. F.e. Rends Germany rework....
I guess then is the system overloaded and the textures don´t show on the planes...

[Wrench]

running out of texture memory, maybe? sound like a vid card issue?

[+Stary]

Emre, that is indeed memory issue most likely

[+Trotski]

That would explain the random nature of the thing indeed
