The last patch for Aerofly 5 seems to be causing problems with textures when it is initially launched.


The symptoms are dark or flickering ground or terrain photoreal image textures particularly on PANO terrain.

This occurs ( but it may not be exclusive to... ) with Nvidia WHQL drivers on multi-GPU video cards and multi-core processors.

I've been able to reproduce the problem with both G2xx series and G4xx series video cards, running four cores under Vista and Windows 7 on separate machines.

Strangely exiting Aerofly 5 and re-entering it again eliminates the problem when it occurs... as if the only thing at play is initial gamma correction settings for SOME ( but not all ) loaded textures.

When the problem occurs it affects all airfields. Once you restart reloaded ( other ) airfields are affected until you exit again.

That said AF5 otherwise runs smoothly on these systems and the level of 3D detail is quite amazing. Kudos to the developers on this!

This sounds like a minor issue initializing video, which may have an easy fix ( e.g. initializing the card twice? ).
