Problem Textures Messed UP Badly

[Jaakko]

:sos:
When I try to fly in Orbiter I get messed up textures. Different colors blink and some textures disappear. Is this a memory or texture problem?

Earth shows on the ground when I'm in the orbit some sort of colorful mess.

Deltaglider shows strange bluegreenyellow texture mess.

When I fly close to the Moon. Moon goes suddenly black or blackred lines blink on screen. What is happening?
:sos:

When I run the Orbiter Diagnostic v0.2 program it reported missing textures and meshes. Maybe these are causing the problems what it have?

Names are:
Street.dds (Already found in other zip)
Tarmac1.msh
VAB.msh
GBLP.msh
River.dds

Can somebody send me these file by E-Mail? That would be great.

Install the newest drivers for your video card, that should do it.

 

[Jaakko]

I tried that already.NO LUCK.

What is your systems specs. What is your processor and graphics card?

 

[Jaakko]

Intel Celeron CPU 2.40 Ghz
DirectX 9.0c
Geforce 4 Ti 4200 with AGP8X , 128.0mb

 

[MJR]

It probably your graphics card. You might need to update it. The next level is 256mb. Its not too bad.

 

[Jaakko]

Yeah right .Thanks for the advice.

Maybe removing textures2 from memory might help.

I recommend getting a free program called "ATItool". With it you can easily check if your graphics card has any issues rendering.
Since this is an old card, overheating might be an issue, make sure it has a proper airflow.

It may. Using the hires textures (especially SethEden's ones) requires a lot of RAM (>1GB). You have not specified how much RAM you have. Generally the symptoms are very poor frame rates though, rather than rendering problems.

I'm looking and it seems you have answers already

Some missing mesh and texture files are unlikely to be the cause of this problem. Did you try TSPenguin's suggestions? They are much more likely culprits.

 

[Jaakko]

Atitool? My display card is NVIDIA.

Those Meshes and textures might help also, because many of my basecfg files need them.

 

[Hielor]

Does a clean install of orbiter have these problems?

 

[tblaxland]

Atitool? My display card is NVIDIA.

From their website: http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/

ATITool is an overclocking utility designed for ATI and NVIDIA video cards

Even though it is designed for overclocking, it will show if you have any rendering issues, independent of Orbiter.

Those Meshes and textures might help also, because many of my basecfg files need them.

Yes, I know but one problem at a time. That reminds me, have you tested the graphics for clean install, ie, just the base Orbiter package with no addons?

 

[Jaakko]

I hear a Loud Buzzing noise inside my machine. Is it a problem?

Where can I ask about Ship drawing and making programs(Freeware please).

I know that advertising is illegal in here, but can I advertise two very useful programs?

Probably. Time to get out the screwdriver and see what is making the noise. A gentle vacuum and air dusting can do wonders (power off first though).

You might want to look at this thread first: http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=3484

If you think that they are relevant to Orbiter or other space topics (astronomy etc). You should make a new thread in the Off-Topic forum though.

Help! Base orbiter also messing up now. What's going on???

I Use display Settings
Resolution :1024*768
ColorBitDepth :32

I tried the AtiTool, but it crashed. Buggy thing. Sending a report to developers.

Whilst Orbiter is running, open orbiter.log and paste the contents here.

What it means? Another bug? YIKES.

Transform & Lighting. You can live without it (I do on one of my machines), it just means a higher CPU load.
