St Maarten Cruise Ships texture problems in FS9.1

Post by hopsten » Mon Apr 30, 2007 10:05 am

Hello,

fist of all i would like to thank you for this outstanding scenery. Everything is running nice.

The only small problem I have are the Cruise ships near ST Maarten. I have discovered a very strange texture behaviour.

Most of the time the Cruise ships are without textures, but sometimes the textures are there as they should be.

It is most likely that the textures of the Cruise ship in the harbor of St Maarten are visible very often.

When I slew over the ship and slew back to one of the other cruise ship sometimes the textures suddenly apprearing.

But sometimes there are no textures visible at all.

I could not imagine what the problem could be. All other scenery aspects are running absolutely smooth and fine.

Maybe anyone can help me with this??

Very best regards, Joerg :D

Martin posted this in another thread.

About a ship going blurry. I have seen this rarely but seen it. I do not know why it happens, the texture will pop to the highest mipmap (best quality) once you slew through the ship (get real close to its' ref-point). Why this happens I don't know, but I saw it mentioned many times in forums etc. The ships themselves are FS9 makemdl compiled "aircraft" models with 3 LODs and DXT3 textures with mipmaps. Nothing out of the ordinary as far as I can tell.
