First choose the source under EDIT/PREFERENCES
The tiles are now in the TILES folder after you do a SHOW BACKGROUND

When you do the ADD MAP under FILES the background picture is in TOOLS/WORK with a long name like L15X12336X12391Y26312Y26351.BMP .

I have not had the white squares recently. I do not know why.... I probably changed something, found that it worked for its purpose, but never related it to the white squares.

Most, but not all, of the photo textures I create show a white square as illustrated in the following picture (screen-weenie). The square does not show in the original background area, It appears after the Add Map Background process (using 16x from a 14x zoom. Dick Boley near 5G8 [img]uploaded/boley...

I sometimes see the following error when starting SBX. Clicking Yes opens SBX and It proceeds normally.

Yep, got the SDK2. There may be fundamental problems that arise from the announcement that Microsoft has discontinued any further fixes or development on FSX. The larger issue that they vreated is that they have "tightened" the rules so that some previous elements will no longer work. This was proba...

I have only tried one new project with SBX and FSX/SB2 installed. I did an AB Exclude Autogen with a greass airport background polygon and an Exclude Airport Boundry polygon. Using the aitogrn exclude causes the runout areas on each end of the runway to assume a mesh following status. Autogen is not...

The night lighting is built into the basic Microsoft landclass textures/tiles. I do not believe that either seasons or night lights can be added to photo-scenery without considerable effort.

Just a guess. There are real experts around to clarify.

I did not know that I can "force" an image to be displayed. For some reason the usual loading of the image did not appear. I will now try to get better information about the errors now that I know how to send the image. Also, I am not sure that there is not some problem on my PC since I have been se...

The border appears on zoom levels 3 and greater in higher latitudes. It occurs on all servers - map and street. Just go to northern Canada and it may occur for you. Or, it may be my system. While I was zooming around I received an exception error. I get these and other Microsoft generated overflow e...

Started SBX. Opened a project. Was told that the map wa sno longer good and would be deleted. SBX then went to a white screen at the correct LAT/LON. I loaded the background from Yahoo and the attached Microsoft error appeared: Sorry-the image was accepted by the forum but....... uploaded/boleyd/200...

A white border appears around background images as you go North of about 39 degrees. Lower than this and the background filles the entire screen. Does not seem to be source related.
