Already trait deleting generated files and stopped my Tomato Shade, even I changed a line in GPUTerrain.fx at ShadersHLSL directory.

Nothing wrong with your system, it's certainly capable.

Personally I haven't seen anything like this, maybe someone else has and also has fixed it?

What other add-ons do you have that might have an impact here - you said you stopped Tomato Shade, did you also uninstall it?

I have most of ORBX regions, also bunch of programs, like ActiveSky....... Well, If I start to write all my addons it will be very large message. I attempted the debugging steps, it's just... Well, night textures over day, but most of my addons are not installed atm.

My personal guess is that the problem comes from my shading, because I was using Tomato Shade on it, and on HF3 TomatoShade is not compatible, which I learned yesterday. I dig up Avsim forum for it, there was a fix for GPUTerrain.fx, but I find that when I apply this I lose all my ground textures in sim.

Okay, problem disappears when I have my addons off. ORBX mostly, but the airports and the rest are still active. So problem obviously comes ether from ORBX or Reshade, I don't know.

I suggest you use Orbx Central to Verify each of your addons...basically, that will repair any problems...

I did that already. I removed them. Now I'll try to install them again, hopefully this time no error.

In Avsim someone noticed a problem with the True Earth NORCAl. I think ORBX is dropping their support for our sim, because lately they removed a lot of P3D subjects in their forum about us.

ORBX Is obviously not the source of the problem. Now I'll try with Reshade. Hope it is still well.

Problem is solved. I think. I'll advice if I get it again.
