|Comments=I downloaded this patch to remove the permanent black color of the plane. The game runs at 1080p 60 FPS with 65% brakes, for that without bugs and freezes. I tried 2X resolution and Native (PS2), anyway with the brakes the game runs on OpenGL (Hardware or Software) rendering.

{{Issue
{{Issue
|IssueName=Broken terrain textures
|IssueName=Black Plane
|IsFixed=1
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=1
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=In hardware mode mipmapping issues cause terrain textures to appear distorted and constantly changing form.
|Description=In Hardware mode the player's plane texture appears completely black. NPCs and cockpit view are unaffected.
|Workaround=This can be resolved with the latest v1.5.0 git builds. Go to Config > Video(GS) > Plugin Settings, and set Mipmapping to "Basic". For older versions use Software mode.
|Workaround=Use [https://buildbot.orphis.net/pcsx2/index.php?m=dl&rev=v1.5.0-dev-2329-g2ad5db227&platform=windows-x86 build 1.5.0-dev-2329] along with the [https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-No-interlacing-codes no-interlacing cheat codes] for the game (requires NTSC-U version). This works on both D3D11 HW and OpenGL HW renderers; if using OpenGL, Auto Flush must be enabled. On newer builds (including 1.6 and 1.7) this is only a partial fix on D3D11, as the planes will still appear darker than they should and have a black jagged outline (white outline if Texture Filtering is set to Nearest), while having no effect on OpenGL.
