GrahamH Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) I received my copy of x-plane 10 an Christmas day, and went to install the global scenery right away. Once I finished loading the DVD's onto my computer, I went straight to YVR (my home airport) to check it out. when I got there it looked like this, but only in the Vancouver area. I did a brief check, but everywhere else in the world seemed fine. Roads will appear if set, but traffic, objects, and trees will not.I tried reinstalling everything, I've tried scanning for damaged files, and tried changing the rendering options, but came up with nothing. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem yet, and/or how to fix it. Edited December 28, 2011 by Graham H Quote
Kesomir Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 Where did you install it? Make sure to install outside of the program filesFolder Quote
Simmo W Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 Have you tried the demo area as well, KSEA? What does that look like? That terrain doesn't even look like v10. Quote
sichars1968 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 Hi KesomirYou say to make sure it is installed outside of the 'Program Files', I have 64 bit version of Vista and because XP is a 32 bit program I have it installed in the /Program Files(x86) is this correct? I used to have it installed in it's own directory(XP9 anyway), but when I was running the demo of XP10 I read something about putting it in /Program Files(x86), so I moved it to there and performance increased somewhat.Anybody else have any opinions on this?Simon Quote
alpilotx Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 Did you install Updates already? A few DSF (scenery) Tiles have been fixed - by Laminar - where this problem appeared. So, check that first. If the error is still there. File a bug with exact coordinates where you see this happen. Quote
GrahamH Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the support everyone.To Kesomir, no. My x-plane folder was not installed within program files. I have it on my desktopSimon (Simmo W), as far as I can see, the default scenery looks fine, as this screen shows. You can see pt. Roberts looks normal.alpilotx, my current version is 10.03b6 Edited January 11, 2012 by Graham H Quote
TOBS Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 There is no need to install Xplane in any program folder - you are free to install it wherever you want - I have it on a 4TB Raid0 with more the 2TB sceneries and it works fine.Cheers T. Quote

If you do, you can just move the x-plane 10 folder and it will continue to run fine in the new location without needing to reinstall Quote
GrahamH Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Posted December 29, 2011 The worst part is that I went to the support page to ask for assistance on boxing day. I haven't heard a word back yet. It feels as if I'm on my own for this one. Quote
GrahamH Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Posted December 30, 2011 YES!! The beta 7 update solved the problems. Everything appears to be normal now. Quote
