gdavej 4 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Hi I just installed Fairbanks, and tested it out on a wintery day in February. Close to the airport, there appear to be a number of houses flooded out. Please see the attachment. I have Ultimate Alaska installed, not sure if this has any effect. I'm also attaching an extracted sample of my scenery.cfg, showing the order of the sceneries.

gdavej 4 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'm amazed that out of the 57 views so far of this problem, not one person has made a comment or suggestion. I've investigated further, and discovered that the problem is connected to FlightOne Ultimate Terrain Alaska. I did check the box for the presence of this scenery addon when I installed Fairbanks, and as can be seen above, the "Fairbanks X Terrain with UTA" Aerosoft scenery was added. If I remove the entries for Ultimate Terrain Alaska, then those houses in the attached image disappear, and that area then becomes forest. Obviously I don't want to remove UT Alaska permanently, so it would be very helpful if somebody could suggest how UT Alaska can work with Aerosoft Fairbanks.

Deputy Sheriffs Herman 1591 Posted August 13, 2012 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted August 13, 2012 It most likely will take someone with the same software as you have to be knowledgeable about the issue you're seeing. Try to wait them out. Perhaps you've already done this, but is Fairbanks X above Ultimate Terrain Alaska in your scenery library? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted August 13, 2012 Aerosoft Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'm amazed that out of the 57 views so far of this problem, not one person has made a comment or suggestion. Well that more or less indicates it's not a widespread issue. I got the idea that something is wrong with the installation of UT. I suggest you de-install both products and install them again, UT first of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badfinger 62 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 And your airports should be above any terrain products like UTX. For example: [Area.133] Title=Anchorage-Airport Layer=133 Active=TRUE Required=FALSE Local=aerosoft\Anchorage-Airport [Area.134] Title=Anchorage-Terrain Layer=134 Active=TRUE Required=FALSE Local=aerosoft\Anchorage-Terrain [Area.135] Title=Fairbanks-Airport Layer=135 Active=TRUE Required=FALSE Local=aerosoft\Fairbanks X [Area.136] Title=Fairbanks-Terrain Layer=136 Active=TRUE Required=FALSE Local=aerosoft\Fairbanks X Terrain with UTA [Area.137] Title=UT Alaska Cities Layer=137 Active=TRUE Required=FALSE Local=Scenery\UtAkCities [Area.138] Title=UT Alaska Mesh Layer=138 Active=TRUE Required=FALSE Local=Scenery\UtAkMesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sceneries are in the correct order, I just extracted the lines from my scenry.cfg, with the scenery number/layer increasing with increasing priority.

Developer Autopiloth 461 Posted August 13, 2012 Developer Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hi, will have a look into it. Maybe an exclude will help, but have to check it first. The flooded houses are "inside" the Chena River west from the airport? Thorsten, sim-wings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flooded houses are "inside" the Chena River west from the airport? Thorsten, sim-wings Looks like the uninstall/reinstall suggested by Mathijs did the trick, at least the houses are now safely above water. Looks like the original install of UT Alaska missed out a couple of sceneries, and that was causing the problem. After reinstalling, of course those UT sceneries were installed correctly, and now my flooding problem has evaporated. Thanks David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
