Annoying graphical glitch: Kh-25, -23 missiles make Su-25 cockpit view black (try to replicate pls) | Forums

[Freycinet]

This is a weird thing I just noticed now:

When I fly the Su-25 and load some particular missiles, then the in-cockpit view out of the side window goes completely black. It is clear that it is because of a problem with the missile texture, because it only happens when the missile is in view.

The missiles are the Kh-25ML and the Kh-23L. It is when they are loaded on pylons 3, 4, 7 and 8. If I take them off on one side, then the view out of the cokpit is fine on that side.

Could anybody try to replicate the problem, to see if it is general, or just a problem with my particular install? If it is with my install then I'd be delighted to get the corect texture from somebody!

EDIT: I just made a clean, patched re-install without any 3rd party add-ons. The Kh-25ML missile still turns the view out of the side window completely black...

I think I didn't have the glitch before, but it was there after I installed the Su-25 realism pack by 42nd_mechanist that comes with LOMAN...

However, I just uninstalled that realism pack and the problem persists...

[Freycinet]

I think it is because the MeInit.xml-file was changed.... :-(

Anyone with a patched Lock-On and no tweaks: could you tell me the size of your MEInit.xml-file in Lock-On/ME?

[Rageman]

the fact that you can use the Kh-23 says that you have a modified MeInit.xml file

[Freycinet]

with a clean and patched install I still have the issue with the Kh-25ML missile... - If it is mounted on the plane, then the view out of the side window towards the missile turns black....

[Freycinet]

...and the MEInit.xml-file is original in my present install (exact original size), but the prob is still there...

[Freycinet]

anyone else have this prob? - Or don't you have it?

thx,

Ran a quick test to check and I didnt have that type of problem.

Thnaks for testing WR, but actually I don't have the problem with the missile you used for your test.

You have put the pointy-tipped Kh-25 on your pylon, but the one that is causing trouble at my end is the Kh-25ML, which has a transparent seeker-head at the tip. Whenever it's on my pylon, I can't look out to the side where it is. The side window just goes black whenever the missile should have come into view.

I'd very much appreciate if a couple of others would check whether they have the same problem, or if it is just with my install. I re-installed and applied the patch and the problem persisted.
