Faro X Black Hole

[Phil258 1]

Hi Everyone,

I have just purchased and installed the Faro X scenery into my FSX which runs in windows 7 64bit. However the area of the scenery within the airport perimeter fence displays as black with no ground or buildings. In a night scene the runway lights display.

I have other Aerosoft airports installed and they all work fine just this one with the problem. I also have FS Global 2010 installed. I have uninstalled Faro X but still get the black hole

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Phil,

Do you have FSX +SP2/Acceleration installed, also try disabling all other 3rd party scenery in the scenery library including the Add-On folder except Faro and then check.

Thanks for your reply Shaun,

I do have SP2 installed. I have worked through my add on scenery as you suggested, and bingo, I have found Mega Airport Heathrow to be the culprit. With this switched on the black hole appears, with it off even with ALL my other scenery enabled inc add on scenery, Faro X displays ok. Do you know any work around for this problem.

Hello Phil,

Try changing the priority of Heathrow and Faro in the scenery library so there the other way round.

Hi Shaun,

problem solved! I have moved Faro to below Heathrow on the scenery priority list, and now it works fine with Heathrow enabled.

Thanks for your excellent advice.
