same card. Same drivers. the only difference is the speed of the processor and the amount of memory which in no way should effect the textures. Only difference is the software.

This is my opinion.

Microsoft built into the demo version the ability to accept FS9 aircraft (or most of them). I think they figured it would help sales if people found that could just copy airplanes over. It would make FSX look like a better deal if you catch my drift.

Now in the full version, they didn't put that ability. Didn't need to.  The product was already sold. Why waste the time and effort. By the time people find out that they could not transfer aircraft over from FS9 to FSX, Microsoft already had their money.

Now that is just my opinion and opinions are like A------s, everybody has one. Until someone comes up with a better way to explain why textures work in the demo but not in the Deluxe verion, I'll stick with it. It makes more sense to me than anything else.

Hey Hagar, How do you get your picture below you name there. (the Extra 300)

Well at least I should be able to help with that. First you need a suitable image in JPEG (.jpg) format. It must comply with the forum limits of no more than 100 pixels wide & less than 10 kb file size. Then upload it to the server from the Upload Images link at the top of the forum. http://www.simviation.com/yabbupload.html

When that's done you will need to update your Profile with a link to the image. This might not be so easy as people have been having problems updating their profiles for some time. We should be getting a brand new forum soon so you might like to hang on for that.

Thanks for confirming that.

I asked the same question because I had the same problem, but very few responded to my question (hmmm). I also have an G4mx4000 and no textures on some planes. I tried the latest drivers with no help, and have rolled back my drivers with no change. I am guessing that it might have something to do with the card it self.

Sorry but I can't agree with your logic. I could find you far more than 2 people who have no texture problems at all with addon aircraft in FSX.  If you get the same result with both programs on the same machine that might be a fair test. The way I see it the graphics card is the obvious common factor here.

I mentioned earlier about two versions of the Demo. The original version IS different to the full FSX as the aircraft from the first one are incompatible with the later one. It would be interesting to know which Demo you have installed. Click Help/About on the menu bar.

Oops I forgot to answer you question about the versions. The demo version I have is version 10, build 60808.00

I don't think I need another version to prove that it is not my video card. I have already done that. The video card is not the obvious factor. The program is. Look at the pictures.

If there are people out there who can see these textures in the deluxe version, obviously the program on the CD that I bought is slightly different from theirs. I wish someone would try these aircraft in the deluxe version and send pictures to prove me wrong.

I know that some people will never accept it but some day they have to learn that Microsoft is not heaven and Bill Gates does not walk on water.
