Cyberstudio 41 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Hi guys! I need some help here. I got this scenery a while back and just downloaded the p3dv3 installer now. The problem is this: If i go to the outside view and try to move the camera to get it near the plane and close to the ground, then the camera goes "below the scenery", please look at the screenshot of the floating raptor. If instead i look at the plane from above, everything looks fine, except for the fact that the plane doesnt show any shadow (Because its being cast below the scenery). Its like the scenery its floating or something. The asphalt on the runway and taxyway also shows a lot of shimmering. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image.

OblivionPlays 3 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hi, Just to say I'm having similar issues. It seems like it is a ORBX vector elevation problem but for some reason the correction tool won't pick up Bonaire airport, so I can't fix it :S. The aircraft loads underneath the runway (if you look really really carefully you can just about see the tips of the vertical stabilisers of the F35 in the screenshots), when selecting the 'active runway', and there are areas of terrain encroaching on the runway. I've noticed AI traffic also lands underneath the runway. I also tried deactivating the My traffic 6 TNCB AFCAD file to see if that fixed the problem but it made no difference. Here are some screen shots demonstrating the issue. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted January 2, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 2, 2016 1. FSX or P3D? 2. Any mesh installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblivionPlays 3 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 1 P3D v3.1 2 FreeMeshX Disabling Freemesh South America and Central America fixed the problem!! So is this something that the airport or mesh developer needs to fix? EDIT: I noticed that the default airport isn't affected. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblivionPlays 3 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Correction: It fixed some of the elevation issues such as the mounds of earth on the runway and loading under the runway but the AI traffic is still underground...

Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted January 2, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 2, 2016 Try the attached file and copy the bgls to the relevant folder, but make a backup of the old ones.

OblivionPlays 3 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Excellent, that fixed all the issues. I can load FreeMeshX without issue too. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted January 2, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 2, 2016 Good to know, but won't be the final version, as there is still a small glitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberstudio 41 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Indeed it looks like it fixes de issue! Thanks!! What is the small glitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberstudio 41 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Ah, looks like i spoke to early. On my case now there is an invisible wall that makes the airplane crash while flying over the the runway 10 and the plane still shows no shadow. Im using orbx vector and fs global ultimate x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnut 60 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hello; I had a problem like that,just swap the order of the 2 files in your scenery,and then try it,that worked for me.Im using Vector,and FS Global as well,make sure that you run the Vector tool.Im running PrePar 3D Version 3.1,the latest version.Oh yea,if you are using a Traffic program,don't forget to rename the bgl file for the airport.

Cyberstudio 41 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks for the tip, wingnut. On my case it somewhat helps. For example, the AI aircraft aren't sunken into the ground anymore, as you can see in the following screenshot, but if you move the camera to a lower view angle the scenery is still floating :\ Please login to display this image.

Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted January 3, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 3, 2016 This is quite normal, when you have to modell an airport with different elevations. So no need to worry about ist. Also to add: in the folder ...Bonaire X\Bonaire_Alpha\Scenery\rename the file AFX_XXXX.bgl to AFX_XXXX.off Same applies to a file AFX_TNCB_ALT.bgl in the folder ..\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Scenery\World\Scenery\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberstudio 41 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hi mopperle. If i rename the file as you requested, now my aircraft is sunken intro the ground. The raptor is there, just below the parking. Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted January 3, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 3, 2016 Which one did you rename? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberstudio 41 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 The one located in: E:\P3D\Aerosoft\Bonaire X\Bonaire_Alpha\Scenery From: AFX_XXXX.bgl To AFX_XXXX.off Its the only file in that folder. Also, i don't have the file AFX_TNCB_ALT.bgl in Scenery\World\scenery. It doesn't exist anywhere on my P3D installation folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted January 3, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 3, 2016 Sorry, but then you didn't apply the posted fix in post #9 correctly Also, i don't have the file AFX_TNCB_ALT.bgl in Scenery\World\scenery. It doesn't exist anywhere on my P3D installation folder. This is correct for P3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberstudio 41 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hi! sorry, you're right. Its applied now. In E:\P3D\Aerosoft\Bonaire X\Bonaire_Alpha\Scenery i have the following files: AFX_TNCX.bgl and AFX_XXXX.off But all the problems persist, including the invisible wall that makes me crash on approach as shown in this screenshot. That's in the air, there's no crash with any visible scenery object. Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted January 3, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 3, 2016 OK, the only problem I see currently is the crash which has already been reported to the dev. But as I always turn off this unrealistic feature, niot really a problem for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberstudio 41 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks! This is the expected behavior then? I can land and take off without issues (apart from the crash on takeoff), i guess i can use it like that just disabling the crash option. Will it be fixed? When you say that this has been reported to the dev, isn't the dev Aerosoft? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted January 3, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 3, 2016 No, the scenery is not done internally by Aerosoft, but i talked to the dev and he promised to have a look at it after the holidays. And yes, if you turn off crash detection it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
