Blocks around my approach lights

Hello I wonder if someone can help me , if I am on a checker board approach the first 5 lights flickering has a box around them it appears as the light flickers as I progress the others remaining lights are fine.

See pic

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks

Johan

Are you using DX 10 ?
It looks like the airport ground textures are not loaded in that shot also.

What are your system specs ?
When you took that screenshot did the airport ground textures ever load ?

Well I think the airport textures loaded here are 2 pics

Also included system specs pics

The ground textures for the ramp are loaded, but seem a little dark.
Wait for Martin to show up and maybe he can help.
Is this the FS9 version ?
Do you have dawn/dusk texture blending checked ?

I thought by the fps counter it had to be FS9

What video card do you have. The ground textures are to dark for the FSX version.

I also get 50+ FPS in FSX if I unlock them. I know many like to see all those high numbers but lock your FPS to a 20-30 value and retest.

krogh: You are running SDK-Mode, which has completely black aprons at night. That is normal with SDK compliant aprons and taxiwaways, they are completely black opaque at night and there isn't much I can do about it because the FSX SDK is extremely limited as far as airport-ground details go.... Which is the whole reason why I implemented the the SDK and Non-SDK modes.

Since your framerate isn't an issue, I recommend you run the installation program again and select Non-SDK-Mode. This will completely change the appearance of the airport ground both day and night.

The first few Lead-In strobes are known to cause some transparency problem at dusk/dawn. I didn't think it was too bad because they flash extremely fast. Can you confirm that you online notice this at dusk/dawn and they are fine during daytime and night?

Sounds like you AA is not turned on, you have to override the default fsx profile in nhancer, and make sure in game AA is turned off.
