Ridgelift visualization scenery object

Featured Replies

The Mission SDK is pretty good at describing the RidgeLift object, and one of its attributes is AirObjectModelGuid which can refer to the GUID of a scenery object to include wherever the RidgeArea appears. Another attribute ScaleModel "Set to True to if the model should be scaled to match the size of the ridge lift box."[ref SDK]To avoid confusion here, I should mention there's also the AirObjectVisuals.xml file in the FSX root folder which holds default GUIDs for thermal and ridgelift visualization scenery objects - for thermals this is the spiral, for ridgelift the default is 'no object'.The lift within a RidgeLift box is a little complex in structure, and if you want to place RidgeLift, it really helps if you have a properly aligned object like this (trust me!):http://carrier.csi.cam.ac.uk/forsterlewis/...gebox_thumb.jpgI have a PROBLEM: scenery objects don't seem to scale to correctly fill the RidgeLift RectangleArea. In each case the height seems exactly right, the length is close but maybe 10% too small, and the width can be wrong by a factor of two, i.e. the scenery object massively spills outside the box. I've tried the 'green target loop' from the standard FSX scenery objects, and my purpose-built object, but both behave the same.Anyone else actually tried this? Anyone??
