A couple od weeks ago I downloaded and installed this scenery, made by Mateusz Stabryla and MK Studios. However, I seem to be experiencing very excessive shimmering of the ground textures. I wrote an e-mail to the author some time ago, but received no reply. I wonder if anyone else here has this scenery and has the same problem. All my other sceneries, about 150 of them seem to be fine so this would lead me to believe it is not my computer and FS setup, but would like to be sure. Ted

Yes, unfortunately it's a known problem with this scenery.Its developer did not add mipmaps to the textures, hence the shimmering.

Thanks for your very prompt reply, Rafal. At least now I know this has nothing to do with my setup. I suppose I'll be using EPGD or EPKK as alternate airports to EPWA.Ted

You're welcome, Ted.Expect a very nice EPKK quite soon. :( http://www.epkk.pl/This time no shimmering for sure.

Is there any way to add mipmaps to the textures?I find the only really noticeable shimmering is with the perimeter fencing otherwise there is little difference from other sceneries.Using FS9, LDS B767, E8400, Radeon 4870 1GB, 2GB RAMColin BPS How do you pronounce Okecie. I can't believe MS has got it right.

I suppose I'll be using EPGD or EPKK as alternate airports to EPWA.

Before landing on EPGD, please be sure that you have correct AFCAD file for that airport. Otherwise you may expect a lot of missed approaches, due to the AI planes entering the runway before you leave it free after landing.I have found that problem with the freeware version of EPGD from Polish Airports Vol.1 set and it has been hapilly corrected by the authors.Kind regards

Colin, you can try opening each texture in DXTBMP, check the Mipmapping option and save.It may, hoevever, be a hard work due to the number of textures you might want to recompile.Good luck, anyway!

How do you pronounce Okecie

[ O-'KHAENT-SYAE ] - more or less, rather hard for the English. :( EDIT: I found something for you, Colin:http://www.forvo.com/word/ok%C4%99cie/

Thanks. Rafal, I'll have a look and see if it's worth the effort.Colin B

Yes, I saw that site about a month ago, and exchanged a few e-mails with Tomasz Brukarczyk, the author. If things go as planned we'll be flying to Cracow, using Tom's scenery sometime in May or in June, according to Tom. It's too bad that there is no news on the progres of EPWA from Drzewieck's Design. It looked very promissing, but apparently the final version may not even materialize. As far as the pronunciation of Okecie goes.. it's not too difficult. Bydgoszcz would be more challenging......... is there an airfield in Szczebrzeszczyn? :( Ted

Ej tam, nie ma problemu dla nas mowic 'Okecie' :( Rafal, is that Krakow still being developed?

Actually words like Szczebrzeszczyn are really not that hard for English speakers once you know the pronunciation rules. Szcz is really just shch and most of us can say cash cheque without any probs. There are, however, many tricky words that, after 17 years living here in Poland, still cause me headaches :( Oh, and just to stay on topic, I had to delete EPPO because of the horrible shimmering. Shame really, but it was free so no complaints.

is that Krakow still being developed?

Yes, like Ted already mentioned above.If no trouble comes in the way, we can get it before the summer begins.It will probably be payware but, of course, top quality (see the screenshots).As for Okecie, I'm afraid there is some kind of jinx about that airport in MFS.I do most of my short-haul flying over western Europe, but I would be delighted to land at a quality EPWA one day.Maybe Bruk (EPKK's developer) will think of making it one day. Who knows... :(

Good quality Balice for FS9? I'll pay.Yeah, EPWA seems to be a bit like the A320 for FS9. No complaints about the free ones and very grateful. But I'd happily pay for a top quality payware version of both; if only someone could do it :(

Any idea if EPPK will be for FSX as well?

Hi, DrumcodeNo, at least not initially. It's an FS9 project.Maybe some time later. Don't hold your breath though.
