I have noticed with the two latest skins for the P47 that luminesent(spelling)colour came up in the cockpit.My thought is this--Do the people having problems with FS in any way have a TNT or Voodoo based system.The reason I ask this is that they(video cards)have a different way of filling textures be they TNT or Voodoo,also the fill rate is different.Would this make a difference online?Does somebody who makes a skin with a Voodoo based card give a TNT based system a slowdown or vice versa.Any views from the experts?

The short answer is that almost any OpenPlane element, when done wrong, could cause a CTD.

The change in color is most likely due to a corrupt texture cache (delete the sdoecache.* files from the media folder).

The textures are converted to the format used by the card and cached the first time they are read in. Building the textures a particular way will not slow down different video cards.

Kat,

If you are refering to my 405th FG schemes you will find that a thin section of red from the canopy frame is visable at the bottom of the armoured glass. There is nothing you can do about this.

Thanks for the info guys.
Michael I have in the past deleted that file and it has fixed certain problems but this is the first time I have understood why,thanks.
Yard it was your skins I referred to,however it was not a texture problem it was my duh brain.I installed them without first checking to see if there were any other tif files in the texture directory,which of course there are.
