Hi all,

Saw video on youtube of airport in the alps range, tried the Maule m7 260c at altitude in France ( 6000') and struggled to get to take speed so thought I'd try London City Airport as the maule had been running fine in the missions.

I decided I'd flow low and west towards westminster bridge, a couple of bends before Tower bridge I noticed the river had gone in places and had land and what would have been large waterfalls had the river been there.

Can somebody else try leaving from same airport and follow the thames westward and let me know if thye get the same and does anybody know how to fix it so the water texture is not missing, I have not noticed this before and don't seem to get the problem elsewhere.

On at least one of the msdn pages there is info that says the problems with the maule and the textures in the Rivers Thames is cured in the service packs,  along with many other problems 'around the world'

I'm using FSX Gold which should have automatically installed the service packs.






cheers

Steve

The Service packs are installed with Acceleration which is bundled with FSX Gold.

The FSX Demo is limited to small area in the Caribbean.

Indeed Pete. I believe the River Thames bug was fixed in FSX SP1. This is included with Acceleration or can be downloaded separately.

Hi all,

thanks for the replies:
@ Pete: I'm running the FSX Gold complete with the Acceleration pack installed : now then, I've thought of something that might be related, this is on win7, I'd forgotten I have it installed on my XP based PC, so will recheck that, it's the XP one that I may have been thinking of when I say I hadn't seen it before.

Thanks Angusmax, I'll check the config file link you've sent the link for, seeing as it's before sp1 sp2 I'll compare it with my config file.

What I will do is try and find those msdn pages again, they mentioned various bridges and buildings around the world that the service packs were supposed to fix, that will prove to me if it's a sp problem.

I'm wondering if I should have gone direct to the DVD and run the installer as admin? rather than let the auto installer run.

Something else which I read in the docs, if Acceleration doesn't detect that sp2 is installed, it automatically installs it, also on the msdn pages it says that accelleration will install sp2 regardless of whether sp1 is installed as it's not needed under that circumstance.

regards

Steve,

Cheers Hagar,

yep, thats the page.
Is there a way, perhaps by the versions numbers of FSX to tell if the SP's are installed?

I'll try and check my XP pc tonight, if not will have to wait till Fri night.
My times taken up by my radio control efforts at the moment.


I'm also getting prop behind clouds? with Seafire15_17.zip

many thanks to you all

Steve

Hmmm. I finally got round to trying it. I have FSX Gold + Acceleration installed. Something not quite right here methinks. LOL

If you have Acceleration installed you should have SP1 & SP2.

Note. I haven't tried the fix from Angusmax's link.

Hi Hagar,

The terrain.cfg download does work.
I'l have to check for the other fixes with sp2, lets consider this thread finished for now as the rock/water texture in my case is now fixed.

many thanks angus max and others.
