December 4, 201015 yr Greetings fellow PNW simmers. I'm having trouble with some border areas between the a fore mentioned sceneries. I'm hoping someone out there is running the same combination and can shed some light on the problem. My problem is in the bordering areas between FZ02 and CRG. Specifically around Oregon City and the Clackamas river through Estacada. Here is a screenshot of Oregon City looking west.The Willamette river and all roads and whatnot disappears below Willamette falls (visible in the left side of the window). It reappears again at the border of FZ02 (in the right side of the window). Interestingly the I205 freeway shows up over where the river should be (in the center of the window.) A little background, I love Holger Sandmanns CRG and FZ02 but unfortunately those areas that were modified to accommodate CRG (he had to basically cut a hole in UTUSAs scenery as I understand it) were very important to me so I uninstalled it. After a while I decided I couldn't live without CRG so I reinstalled it again. Well I think I screwed it up somehow and I can't figure out where I went wrong. I'm hoping that someone who has the same combination can look at the area in question and let me know if mine is indeed wrong or if really looks like that. I'm quite sure it wasn't this bad before. OR maybe I could prevail upon someone to post a screenshot of the area so I can see what it's supposed to look like :) .A second problem is inside CRG itself. Every Island in the columbia river (that has a shoreline) is connected to the mainland by a bridge of shoreline texture.Also there are random bridges of the same shoreline texture across the entire river in places. I don't remember having this problem the first time around.I'm thinking of Reinstalling all three sceneries But I would love to know what I'm looking for first.Thank you for reading!Cheers.............Todd
December 4, 201015 yr Todd,take a look here- http://forum.simflight.com/topic/60686-fz02utcrg/regards,Joe The best gift you can give your children is your time.
December 4, 201015 yr Author Thanks Joe, I do have and have installed all the updates and compatibility patches (should have said that in my first post. Sorry). Although I still suspect I did something wrong somewhere. I have also read that thread and many others a number of times in my research into my problem. Most of the problems I see involve duplicate shorelines around Puget sound and what-not. Nothing specific to my issue. Your providing that link did allow me to get the gorge_ai.zip which I have been meaning to get. So thank you again.So I take it you have UTUSA, FZ02 and CRG on your system? And can you verify for me that Oregon City should not look like that?Cheers.................Todd
December 4, 201015 yr Sorry, I don't have FZ02, just knew about the board I pointed you to.regards,Joe The best gift you can give your children is your time.
January 8, 201115 yr Author Well, I call success at last! Thanks to the timely revival of an old thread on FZ02 and with the help of David 'Opa' Marshall With a copy of FZ02-utusa.zip. (Which oddly enough I already had. I found it in my recycle bin. How it got there I have no idea. But thanks Opa just the same :) ) I've finally gotten my pacific nw sceneries all squared away. I wound up uninstalling all of my add-on sceneries for the area. Then reinstalling starting with utusa. Then FZ02 and then FZ02-utusa.zip. The patch got rid of a problem with lakes on plateaus in the central and southern Willamette valley that I previously had. But I found that the Oregon City area was really bad afterwards. Why the Flight Zone crew chose to use the stock FS9 version of this area to blend with utusa I have no idea. I found that going into FZ02_sc\scenery and disabling all of the FLXXXX.... HLXXXX..... HPXXXX...... RDXXXXX...... RRXXXX....... and STXXXXX..... files leaving only FL_FZ02_IN-v4.bgl activated gives a much better result.I then installed CRG and the CRG-utusa patch. The only problem left after this was no roads from just south of Oregon City to just north of Salem. I found that if I restore RM915150-7077 back to \Scenery\UTUSA\scenery from CRG_back this restores the roads in that area. This gives me doubled roads in the very southern edge of the CRG area (basically just north of the Sandy river/highway 26 corridor). I can live with that.As for my problem with shoreline bridges to islands in the CRG I think that it was caused by the fact that I had the scenery and landclass priorities reversed in my scenery library. FZ02 needs to be scenery above landclass. CRG just the opposite.Cheers................Todd
