Not sure whether anyone else has this problem who installed the update for FSX. When I install the Acceleration expansion no aircraft except microsoft ones work correctly. No textures are displayed, all aircraft are white. Cockpits etc. seem to be ok but externally there are no textures.

From what I'm reading at AVSIM, SP2 looks like it breaks an awful lot of stuff.

The reason you are having problem is on the system requirements it states you must have a clean install of FSX with SP1 and no addon aircraft. So to fix it you gonna need to uninstall everything and reinstall FSX, SP1 then Acceleration exspansion then any addon planes.

OK. I tried what was suggested by uninstalling FSX and installing a clean, fresh, install. All addon aircraft, Delta ones included, keep coming up white with NO textures. Any help appreciated.

I suspect it's because Acceleration no longer supports DXT3 textures.

Ok. I re-installed everything. Textures still work as long as you de-activate DX10 support. Which sort of defeats the purpose of the update.....lol

You are saying you have Windows Vista, with FSX and Acceleration installed, DX10 Preview activated in Graphic settings, and all your Delta aircraft have coloured exteriors?

Is it me or does Vista seem to be the root of all evils for FS?

From what I've read thus far about the texture issues, it appears that the problem is limited to the DirectX 10 preview mode in Acceleration. If you stay in DX9 mode, you shouldn't have a problem. XP users won't be affected because DX10 is Vista-only.
Cheers!

Sorry, that was my error. The problem is down to DX10 which ONLY works in Windows Vista. Anyone using Windows XP will not notice any texture problems as Windows XP does not support DX10, therefore no problems. Again, my apologies. As a further point, if I disable the DX10 preview mode everything works great, unfortunately I only bought Acceleration for the DX10 upgrade. Oh well, more money down the pan. Hopefully the DX10 update proper will address this issue. Thanks guys for all your support and suggestions.

If you are using Vista with a DX10 graphics card you go into graphic settings and on the right side there is a check box for DX10 preview. If this box is not visible then you don't have either vista or a dx10 card so you don't need to worry.

I noticed that once acceleration has been installed, game spy only showed other servers that have the expansion installed.
I no longer have the ability to connect to any servers that don't have the expansion pack installed.
Does anyone know of a work around for this?
I can't find anything from microsoft.
