|
|
Hello:
Puttering along in my T-28 near Port Angeles, WA (FS 2004) I noticed that a huge, cubic chunk of the NW Olympic Mtns is suddenly missing (!!!?????!!!!!!!). Looks almost like a Borg ship did a touch & go there, leaving 2 big cliffs intersecting at 90 degrees to each other. I did a reboot, positioning myself at Fairchild Intl (Port Angeles) to see if that helped. The chunk is still there, with tiny trees, etc. sprouting from the runways/taxiways at Fairchild.
I've loaded some addon scenery (from the Lyons' classic airplane packages; Lyons' Golden Hawaii; a Fw200 with Tempelhof scenery; Statue of Liberty). But I haven't had any problems until today. I verified that I had the Golden Hawaii control set for standard FS 2004 scenery.
Any ideas? Or is this one for the X-Files? |

| It could be a scenery order issue in your scenery library, or you have a scenery installed that is not compatible with the mesh you are using. First, in your FS9.CFG, find TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL= and set it to 20. If that doesnt help, get with me and we will review your scenery library order as that would get a little long winded for the forum. Once it is resolved you can post the answer here for public reference. |

Thanks groundsquirrel!
I found the culprit- I forgot that I had installed an aircraft carrier scenery package ("ArrCab Carriers Standalone Upgrade Package"- Richard Hogen). It appears that there were no texture files for the aircraft carriers. Kind of like Great White Whales ("Thar she blows!"). I was going to pursue this further but I put it on the back burner.
After my last post, I recalled that I had also installed this as add-on scenery. I removed it (and the carrier text from scenery.cfg) and my scenery appears to be back to normal now.
However, I'd like to get the carriers back. Are you familiar with this package at all or know of some good carrier scenery?
Thanks! |

Yeah, I like Carriers. I own Flight Deck III, which is the Fs9 version of the old ArrCab program. It uses the the ArrCab carriers though, which can be had here in the Surclaro downloads.
If you dont have Flight Deck III, there is a freeware solution using the gauges and instructions found here:
