Missing textures

From FSDeveloper Wiki

Overview

Missing textures for aircraft / scenery will impact on FSX performance.
Possibly resulting in -

• Objects rendered as transparent.
• Objects rendered as disassociated components.
• Screen artifacting
• Reduced FPS.

Causes

• File is missing from the relevant texture folder
• Missing texture.cfg
• Incorrectly configured texture.cfg (FSX default a/c texture.cfg file is wrong)
• Model is calling a file from the common texture folder, (e.g. envmaps).

Identifying

To identify the filename of missing textures for both aircraft & scenery,
add the following lines to your fsx.CFG into the section titled [SCENERY].

[SCENERY]
// To show alerts or areas, set to = 1 
// To hide alerts or areas, set to = 0 

// Alert for missing textures
ShowMissingTextureAlert=1

// Alert for missing objects
MissingLibraryAlert=1

// Render Trigger areas as visible boxes
ShowTriggers=1	

FSX will now display an alert dialog identifiying the missing file / object, or render trigger areas.
