since a couple of days i experience a strange visual effect around some airports and river valleys: red colour instead of the natural green, brown etc.. the responsible texture-file is called "baddata" and situated in the main texture folder of fs9. obviously it indicates a problem - a missing file or whatever.
does anyone know wht to do ?

thx

A reinstall of FS9 wouldn't hurt for starters.

You could do a "fresh install" over top of the current install...without uninstalling the original one.

But be SURE to back up your sound, gauges and aircraft folders, and get ready to reinstall your addon scenery too. That is, if you DO have many addon planes you don't care to reinstall...

Sounds like you (or some self-install EXE) might have placed a texture in the wrong location, and overwritten a default texture perhaps?

thanks for the tips.

but - r e i n s t a l l ? i have just recovered from the reinstall after the patch, so there must be another solution. btw, that is how the error looks like:

around airports (the original baddata.bmp is actually red, i chnaged it's colour while trying to locate the corrupted data):



and along rivers etc.


thx for your patience!
