This happens sometimes when you are running low on texture memory. Usually because of having too many different planes and ground units etc in the game.

Try reducing your detail settings.

If it's happening in low complexity missions it may be something else. I sometimes get situations where part of the terrain don't appear. This usually means deleting the cache files (cache.tex cache.dir and/or sdoecache.tex, sdoecache.dir)

What he said. Also, if it's doing this in just the more complex missions, go into the mission editor and remove some of the "eye candy". Sometimes just a couple ships and parked planes will be enough.

Jeeves,

I love your campaigns!!! I look forward to the day I can afford a system that will run them unedited.

When I refer in public to their tendancy to clog a machine it's not intended as a complaint about your work. It's usually when I'm helping someone who has the same video problems I have and I'm giving them the benefit of my experiences with your missions (and others) and how to fix them. It's our doorstop equipment more than your missions.

Don't dumb down your missions to the lowest common denominator....even if you are a teacher. hehe

Jerry

I used to think it was a texture memory problem myself when I was using a v2 with 8mb, now I'm running a geforce with 32mb I see the same thing in some missions, ie the same ones that caused the square flak/explosions before.
What else can it be?

Oh yeah, and that's without ships and other objects. I rarely add more than one or two flak guns to mine.
It seems to me the squadrons cause the problem, ie 5 or 6 different squads with a couple of planes in each.
Only seen that in some missions.

Arghh, your testing me aren't you? All I had to do was reduce the # of planes or ground units in the mission. That or I just had to let my computer rest.
