Alpha masking

[Tab]

Hi everyone. Im getting this issue on fsx and prepar3d. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1MGAsryxA5hu0rKFOJSQ1vZRoH8Sx-P4F?usp=sharing

 

These trees are default autogen trees, and i see them like in a strange way. It happens to all tree in the sim. I have tried reinstalling the sim and also the entire pc. But it is still happening. My pc(low end laptop) specs: Win 10, 8gb ram, Intel core i9 and Intel UHD600, direcxt version 12, enought to run fsx with médium graphics.

 

I think it is an error on my setup way that display the alpha channel. It may be possible to fix it with mcx texture editor or something like that? Idk so much about textures so i hope you guys could help me.

I need help please. Thanks

If these trees are default there's no alphas to fix. Only perhaps replacing messed up files with original good files.

 

More likely these are addon trees. Possibly installed incorrectly.

Also possible: addon trees not compatible. There are not many freeware fsx trees. But lots of fs9 addon trees and some of those are not compatible with fsx.

 

Are these images views through a cockpit windscreen? If so it might be an issue with your aircraft windscreen distorting the view. Try looking at the trees in outside view. Or looking from inside another aircraft.

 

Also look from up close. A view that's very much zoomed in never looks good.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, you were right, the trees were an addon, sorry.

 

I have reisntalled fsx and looking the now default trees from outside im still getting the same issue. The images were took from inside. I have tried also many diffrerent planes but again the same. Could it be a problem with my pc specs?

I had a similar issue with addon trees showing as black rectangles, rather than transparent rectangles, but it was due to Preview DirectX 10 being switched on in Settings/Display.

Thanks tiger1962 for your reply. So do you believe it is a Directx error?

Perhaps tell us which . . .?

 

Then somebody can actually check and compare instead of guessing.

If you have DirectX 10 preview switched on, errors like this and a few others will appear. Steve's DX10 Fixer (payware) cures them all, but if you don't want it just uncheck the Preview DirectX 10 setting.

In my case they were Gerrish Gray's trees. I'm using Steve's DX10 Fixer and his Cloud Shadows, so I converted the original .bmp textures to .dds (and flipped them upside-down) to get them displaying correctly.
