Flickering airport ground textures

[Full_Throttle_F14]

I tend to get flickering textures on the aprons and runways when im flying around the airport or approaching it. Any ideas of resolving this issue?

Are you using DirectX 10 preview by any chance? If so, disable it or find DX10fixer.

[Full_Throttle_F14]

No, i have that disabled

Are you just using default scenery?

[Full_Throttle_F14]

I just did a fresh reinstall, so all is default

i had the same problem as you do you have a nvidia card? The way i fixed mine was i downloaded nivida inspector and made some changes do you know hot use this? I can tell you what i changed if you do.

You need anti-aliasing selected.

yea i have an nvidia gts450. I'll take a look at that inspector program thanks.

Yea i tried turning on and off anti-aliasing and does nothing to resolve that issue

Perhaps your GPU is overheating? When was the last time you took a can of compressed air to the inside of your case?

When I ran FSX under DX9 I saw a lot of graphical anomalies when my GPU was being overworked. With DX10 enabled, they went away.

This worked for me:
https://stevesfsxanalysis.wordpress.com/2012/06/07/fsx-flashing-textures-part-5-conclusions-and-a-fix/

The file you have to edit is called general10.fx and is in your FSX\ShadersHLSL\General folder. Remember to make a BACKUP of it before editing.

I just inserted the stuff in the end of the genelar10.fx file

For this shader fix to work you first have to delete the SHADERS folder in the 'username'\AppData\Local\Microsoft\FSX-SE\ <---NOT the same place as fsx-se.cfg

When starting FSX a new Shaders folder will be created.

I think the OP said he wasn't running DX10. I would have recommended that as well.

I have had flickering textures for a very long time. Just started out of the blue one day. Boxed edition here. I have replaced my video card.. my ram checked out fine. I even had a new motherboard put in since.. same issue. I really think its a processor related issue. perhaps buffer issues.

Everything is pretty much been replaced in this system accept for the processor. With the issue persisting.

In some cases.. in my research it has been the graphics card.. however if it was the graphics card going you would most certainly be getting graphical spikes to go along with the flickering I'm sure.

Good luck finding out what it is.. as its been a nightmare for me. Hours of searching comes up with very little to go by. One says Power Supply .. one says RAM. one says etc. etc. etc. I do believe its the processor. I'm replacing it in the next 2 weeks.. I'll report back my findings.
