Could you please check, what happend since the September update 4.00.03.05?
Some photosceneries like the ORBX-NL crashes the sim. This does not happen, if the mask files are deleted.
Of cause with the disadvantage that global tiles will not be shown anymore and the (different) IPACS orthos will be shown instead.
Example: Rotterdam.
If somebody could please send us a single file that's causing an issue, we will have a look at it.
Hello admin, I sent the files via email to ipacs.de

Hello,
This is not a 100% confirmation that it is the only problem but I did check : all my working images don't have any mask
But could you explain what you mean by "with the disadvantage that global tiles will not be shown anymore and the (different) IPACS orthos will be shown instead" ? I am sorry (and I feel myself stupid) but I do not understand what these masks really do...
Kind regards
Jean-Paul
flight-sim.org Reunion has mask files too. Without deleting, the sim crashes. In beta, this worked OK. Something has changed. Deleting the mask files fixes the issue.
could you explain what you mean
Mask files are there for a reason and deleting them has consequences:
If a tile is only partially covered by the image, you will see the other part as empty. With a mask only that part of the tile which is defined will be shown.
In orbx-NL you will see the new IPACS parts instead. This will show an abrupt change from orbx to ipacs orthos.
Thanks a lot Thomas 
Hello,
if it may help :
1 : The issue only happen in the areas covered by the new improved scenery (ex : Europe), looks like a conflict with the new sceneries :
My tiles with "mask" elements are still working in South America where n scenery is present (despite they do not have many interest because of the lack of cultivation and airports)
2 : Otherwise I coud not check if "mask" elements in elevation files bring to the same issue as the images "mask elements
Kind regards,
Jean-Paul
We have uploaded a new version to the beta channel of Steam that should fix this issue. Thanks for reporting.
Thanks to you for the quick answers and solution
Seems to work for me (very quick test)
Thanks again !
I did a test with Reunion. Works for me. Testing with ORBX NL now in a few minutes
Any chances that you add Cultivation to Reunion and Mauritius with a quick fix?
Thank you for the fast solution of the orbx-nl mask file problem, which is also solved for me.
