Reflection Hotfix
10.28.2014
This problem concerns some graphic cards and new drivers. Old cards had
good handle simple flat (2d) textures for reflections.
New cards and drivers require use of cubic textures. This patch corrects
the reflective materials for some graphics cards,
especially
for chrome reflection - when is gray only. If your graphic card displays
chrome and reflections correctly you don't have to
download.
This hotfix concerns old boats (all versions):
CABO45, CAPRICORN, DAISY, GEMINI, MALTESE FALCON, X55.
Test: Windows 7 64 bit, clean FSX SP2, last Nvidia drivers
- G210 - Nvidia 340.52 - reflections correct
- GTX 285 - Nvidia 340.52 - reflections correct
- GTX780 - Nvidia 344.48 - reflections bad, gray chrome
