On my 5th reinstall, clearly need advice.

[TFS]

I got Afghan day one, I loved it and was thrilled for what was to come. Had to uninstall & reinstall, since then, I'm now on my 5th try this summer, I can't get textures to load anywhere properly. Buildings half render, trees are like 64bit 2d paper, cars are boxes. It's every install, I'm on standalone.

No other map has this issue and everything else looks amazing. Aircraft load perfectly. Map plays smooth, mountains and ground terrain looks as it should. All objects are blocks and half load. No amount of time waiting resolves this. I purchased the entire map at launch and have everything checked as far as I know.

I must be doing something wrong. Any advice where to start? Again, it's only afghan that's like this. 

Thanks in advance.

Post your DCS.log? 

Also, no point of reinstallation. A full repair takes care of that. And I'm a little confused. Did you reinstall DCS or just the map through the Module Manger?

Cheers!

I only reinstalled the map through the module manager via the launcher.

So fly a mission on afghan and copy the log?

This sounds like you fly in the low resolution area, not yet depicted in the game, ex. north parts. Try the modeled parts like East and South-West.

What zone are your flying?, remember, Afghanistan north zone has no release yet.

Yeah, lot's of people I have been flying with are using farps and airstrips in the areas that are finished, they all see things rendered and I am not seeing what they see. I will try again, just did a repair and will see if it helped at all.

Have you tried deleting the FXO and Metashader 2 folders in your DCS Saved Games folder yet?
