Hi all.Wondering if anyone has seen this problem.Just did a flight into the Hawaiian Islands and noticed a few airports had pink tiles over some of the runways taxiways and aprons.Hilo International Airport had some massive areas in pink.Cheers.
I have Preminum Deluxe.so Don’t see what version makes any difference.
Yes, I am having the exact same problem at several airports. Did a clean reinstall, still there. If anyone has any idea of what this is, please let us know. Could it be the new 1.8.3 patch?
Corrupted install of some sort. This has happened many times throughout the development. Basically you’re missing a texture or something so it defaults to pink. As much fun as the soul plane look is, you have a problem.

Or something switched on in Developer Mode that should be off?

I’ve done it.
But why only certain airports? I only have one add-on airport in Chicago. The only airports I’m getting these pink textures are in California. Although I was in developer mode. I will try shutting this off and see if that makes a difference.
I had that purple issue, then deleted some add-ons and the airport textures returned to normal. Except, some of the textures seem different now as if they have been overwritten forever. For example, a parking lot at a local airport now looks like grass instead of concrete. Not cool. I wish MS had thought of these things.
So why even bother with any airport add-ons? I uninstalled the one add-on airport I had and Still have two major airports effected KSFO & KLAX
Hester, thanks for the suggestions. I think deleting the rolling cache is a good idea. I have read that the entire cache system is bugged, so I will hold off until I know I can safely do it without ruining the installation somehow.
Hello.
Did you find an explanation ?
I had this problem 5 minutes ago for the first time before landing at LXGB airport in Gibraltar.
I do not have any active scenery in this area.
I’ll try to restart with an emptied Community folder.
I had to reinstall the dang Sim now it’s back to normal
ive had that happen, at an airport too, recently, it was a freeware updated one…
I’ve also seen this on a couple of freeware scenery. I saw post which implied it was due to missing textures or to be precise the scenery referencing a texture that you don’t have or is corrupt. It suggested renaming the default folders where you textures are stored and stated that the sim should then redownload the texture folder and correct or replace the textures.
Sorry to say if that is correct it did not work for me, all I ended up with was even more pink areas. So I’d say that, yes it is due to missing textures but i’m not sure how you fix without a full reinstall and it’s not bothering me enough to do that.
Hopefully someone can post with instructions that work so I’ll follow this thread, just in case
Hey,
topic moved to
#bugs&issues:scenery.
Thank you.
There must be a way to find what texture it is? Maybe in DEV MODE or something? then I could search my community folder and zap the offending add-on be it pay or free ware
why not just remove all addons to see if that fixes it?
if not, then it is a default faulty texture possibly.
Because I have lots of add-ons. I am not going through each one…launch the SIM, check, close the SIM, open the SIM…that’s garbage.
There has to be a better way
