I've been noticing a few people talking about textures on their planes going black and nothing showing up. Well the fix is quite simple.

The problem is the textures that have been cached are now corrupt. How they got this way is beyond me but it happened. If you want to fix this and restore all the textures that are now black is easy. Just delete your sdoecache file in your sdoecache.tex in your media folder.

Or you can switch API. Both will fix the problem.

Spanky here...

Yeah i do that everyonce in a while.

Also people like me with hard drives need to know.

After you install SDOE you will still need around 300 megs for the Cache file.

that will make corrupt textures also.

Remember the first time you enter a new map it will take a while too.

Could you explain that a little better? I have a cache.tex file in my Media, is that the one to delete?
I started getting all blacks on the Corsair Jug Ju-88 and Wildcat. I started a new install on my other PC and it is hell. Its so hard getting everything to work right, neraly all the contest planes need some editing of the startup and stuff.
It definitely needs to be made easier because a newbie wouldn't have a hope.

Snake, you got that right! Sometimes I think we should have a large warning on the FS homepage saying "MENSA MEMBERS ONLY".

Fortunately I started here on the ground floor a year ago. Hate to think what it would be like starting today with all the downloads,utilities, and multiple web sites we have.

I sure have learned a lot about Windows file management that I didn't know before.

I get the blacks occasionally, but check this out none of my P-38 skins work. They used to. I haven't changed any of the designations( still p38jnewcopy). Could this be the same problem?
