Hi Folks,
Yes, no doubt some people are saying that ol' chestnut again, BUT I just can't find anything on SOH or trawling the net to cure it.....
As you can see all the main texs are transparent. The only way to correct this is to remove the alpha channel, which then causes poor textures. I've tried removing from just the main texs or bump map or specular texs, but I have to remove the alphas from all to show.
I've tried the anisotropic setting in FSX (plus bi-linear and tri), AA on and off, combos of all those, still no go.
I'm running XP Home with 4Gb RAM, obviously with Dx 9.0c, E8600 at 3.2GHz, an ATi 4890 1Gb with latest drivers.
It's a vanilla FSX De-luxe without any add-ons or SP/Acceleration packs. I'm getting 30+ FRs most places with no stutters and no ground texture blurries.
As you can see on pic 2 the cockpit and pilots (who don't have any maps or alphas) are standard texs and look great, but the rest of the ac texs looks poor due to having to remove the alphas to see them.
Is it purely an Ati/driver issue or??
Any suggestions to save my sanity please...
Many thanks
Cheers Shessi
