• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Ground texture problem

I've been using FSX for several years without problem, but suddenly my ground terrain went all white. Here's a pic of it:

Any ideas how to fix this? I want to avoid having to reinstall FSX if possible, as my dvd/rom drive on this laptop has stopped reading disks. Not to mention I have tons of add-on aircraft that I really don't want to have to reinstall. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Hi,

Is this the default scenery or some addon? If it is the default scenery, does it happen at all airports or only this one?
 
Its the default scenery, and yea it happens everywhere. I just flew from KORD to TNCM and its the same not only at both airports, but the ground enroute looks the same.
 
Then the first thing I would check is whether the textures used by for the grass are still on your machine and not changed recently. Did you recently change them or add some addon that could affect them?
 
I'm not sure really where I'm supposed to look. I checked the Texture folder and found 4 .r8 files for grass, but no .bmp files. The only thing I added recently was ColSquawk, a program for showing airline liveries in Squawkbox. I have removed that program though in trying to fix this. I don't see any reason why it would have changed any base texture files.
 
Hi,

I can't remember exactly which textures are used by the airport background polygons. I think they are landclass type 95 and 96, but I am not sure which textures they use.
