Missing cockpit parts

[PhoenixBvo]

Hey guys, it seems I have a weird problem:

 

I have just bought a new rig with W7 64 and installed BS on it. I then copied some files from my old vista 32 installation: the mission folder, the pilot log book and input settings.

 

But when I started a mission, I got the following pictures:

 

 

 

Now the weirdest thing though: in some missions there's no problem and in others its like above. I have been unable to find the deciding differences. Could it be that I copied something wrong from the old install? There I never had a problem like this, it was the same game version (1.0.1c) and I never installed any mods.

 

Any suggestions/tips/solutions welcome, thanks

Hi! I had the same problem ->

Delete all files from your black shark temp folder.

 

I think it's bug that appears with catalyst drivers and new 57xx and 58xx cards.. :/

Thanks a lot! I'll try that as soon as I get home...

...but it looks cool indeed ;)

 

Hopefully the Temp fix will fix it...

 

Good luck

You sure you didn't buy the base model? I bought a Toyota truck in '87 that didn't come with a rear bumper...

Ok, I started by trying the temp folder: no luck,

then I tried a fresh install from the DVD (v1.0): problem remained,

then I tried an older Catalyst version: still no change.:(

 

I'm out of ideas, someone please help!!:helpsmilie:

 

ED, this appears to be a bug relating to DCS compatibility with the HD5870 graphics card and/or Windows 7.

Please fix it... I just bought a new rig, expecting great performance and worry free flying for many DCS expansions to come. I can't help but being quite disappointed...:cry:

 

My system specs are:

i7 860 @ 2.8 GHz, 2x2GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600, Asus P7P55D Pro, XFX Radeon HD5870 @ 1900/300, Windows 7 64bit Home

I forgot: the DirectX dump file (in attachment)

DxDiag.txt

I found a workaround, not a fix or solution mind you:

Provided that external views are enabled, quickly tapping F11 (faster than the images can be built up) will load the missing cockpit textures...

 

Yeah!!! At least now I can enjoy the sim again. Although multiplayer on full real servers may be a problem with this workaround (external views would disabled).

 

So my request stands: please fix this :)

 

Also more info on ATI drivers for the combination Windows 7 64bit with HD5870:

I have tried all the catalyst versions starting from 9.1: up to 9.9 they don't even install properly, 9.10 - 9.12 do install but give a completely white menu screen in DCS and 10.1 and 10.2 work fine apart from the missing texture bug...

I managed to get the quickstart running in 9.10 (by clicking in the main menu at the expected button location) and there the same missing texture behaviour appears.

What Antialising settings you use ? In my case broblem apears if i use profiles for 3d settings ?? 4xAA Multi sample AA mode and 16AF works fine. (but only if set manually, if i use profiles cocpit parts disapear, weird..

I posted in here about this before try turning the Advanced Catylist A.I. Setting from high to standard. and un-checked.

 

for some reason the post didn't post, mmmm.

[PhoenixBvo]

Thanks for these tips! After trying several combinations of settings, I have identified the problem with the Adaptive Multi-sample AA mode. When you choose just Multi-sample AA (without the adaptive part) it works fine.

 

Thanks again, the difference in image quality is minimal anyway, so this is a very satisfactory work-around.
