Overview

Missing textures for aircraft / scenery will impact on FSX performance.
Possibly resulting in -

  • Objects rendered as transparent.
  • Objects rendered as disassociated components.
  • Screen artifacting
  • Reduced FPS.

Causes

  • File is missing from the relevant texture folder
  • Missing texture.cfg
  • Incorrectly configured texture.cfg (FSX default a/c texture.cfg file is wrong)
  • Model is calling a file from the common texture folder, (e.g. envmaps).

Identifying

To identify the filename of missing textures for both aircraft & scenery,
add the following lines to your fsx.CFG into the section titled [SCENERY].

[SCENERY]
// To show alerts or areas, set to = 1 
// To hide alerts or areas, set to = 0 

// Alert for missing textures
ShowMissingTextureAlert=1

// Alert for missing objects
MissingLibraryAlert=1

// Render Trigger areas as visible boxes
ShowTriggers=1	

FSX will now display an alert dialog identifiying the missing file / object, or render trigger areas.
