Hi Innis,
So long as the textures for the tail are all in the same texture file you should be ok.
Yes it is one 1024 X 1024 texture of 350kb size
If you are starting at KSFO see if it matters which airport
(maybe you are bumping against a limit?).
What limit are we talking about here.
Also, I'm not familiar with what is
required with all the different cards, but IIRC odd numbered dimmensions on
the texture file will not usually work. Hopefully this will help, otherwise
post again with information on the texture file size and dimmensions, and the
model video card.
Thanks for the help but what I dont understand is if I texture the whole vertical tail
in one go that is selecting the fin and upper and lower rudder all together then I have
no trouble running flight gear.But if I fragment the three objects and then select just
the right or left side surfaces and texture them separately when I remerge them into
their separate objects and go to start FG it stalls.The strange thing is if I go back into
AC3D and set no texture for one of the objects eg the upper rudder then FG operates
normally.What I dont understand is how if an object is textured or not prevents FG
from working.
I dont think it is to do with the video card as no other aircraft in FG has a problem and
this aircraft only seems to have a problem when it is textured in a certain way.
It is midnight here in Australia so I will pick this up in the morning. Thanks again for your help.
Best,
Jim
