This is almost an texture related problem.
Try to convert the textures to DXT1 format with mips.
If this doesen´t function try convert to DXT3.
And if even this does not function, convert to normal Bitmaps.
FS forces to show mips and this problem mostly occurs when involved textures haven´t mips.
FS then only shows the smallest/ badest mipmap level.
We had this problem in EHAM and we solved it.
For a short time you can recreate your higher mip level by changing into fullscreen/windowed screen.

No problems with default scenery Garry. A shot over Moscow.
I've never encountered this phenomena before, so I guess it's this particular model that causes it.
Thank you for the advice Wolfgang. Sad to say, I don't have the knowledge to carry it out.

The Nor Cal Prop Club have done the job for me. I found the updated for FSX version at simviation. No problems with the scenery now.

Downloaded that version too but as far as I can tell it's NOT the Samdim Design Tu-95MS.
It's by a different author, it has a totally different panel etc.
And there's no Tu-142M in the package...

Also, wasn't NCPC the same group that got several files removed from the major download sites for using copyrighted material without permission that originated from authors on this site?

That's is so Chris
They and and some individual take on a 'fix' FS.9 for fs.X not only without permission but against expresss instructions from suthors not to do so.
Some of their stuff is fulty as well leaving the original authors recieving emails because it does not work properly.

Hi...
Just a quick question and hopefully someone has a solution to this problem...
As I said in an earlier entry for this thread, in my download of the Bear a lot of gauges don't work on my panel.
They all have to be extracted from the "Tu-95MS" gauges map that's in the panel.95 map. Anyway, that's what FS Panel Studio is telling me.
But Panel Studio is generating a huge amount of errors when building the panel.
I have copied the TU-95MS map and all the other gauges into the FS2004 gauges map, hoping this would fix the problem but it's not the solution, the gauges are there (as they were before) but they don't function.
I think this is because the gauges in the Tu-95MS map are "in that map" and not in a cab file.
An example of one of the errors while extracting gauges from the XML gauge folder "Tu-95MS": in Gauge(0) a Gauge named "TU-95MS!KUS" does not exist in XML Gauge "Tu-95MS!".
Or: "No bitmap found for Gauge 0. File "TU-95MS!KUS"
And a lot of these errors appear.
IS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE Tu-95 PANEL?
And what could be the solution?
Grtz.
