MAAM KRDG & Genesis Mesh - problems with AFCAD

Featured Replies

Hi GuysGot a weird problem. Installed the MAAM KRDG Reading airport. Some of the taxiways and hardstands are showing okay while others are not visible. Have checked the AFCAD with AFX and they're all there. Have tried tweaking elevations with AFX and also the AP927170 file with JAB.BGL and so far no difference. First tried matching the elevations. Then tried moving the AFCAD up so it would show above the ground elevations. No go. The AI aircraft are operating correctly (wheels all showing correct place on the groun) so it seems like the elevations are all correct but????I am using the full set of mesh from Genesis and wonder if that's causing the problem? I guess I can just continue fiddling with it but thought maybe someone could tell me what would work. Any suggestions?Ian

Hey, Dawg! How are you?Have you tried moving the scenery to the highest position in scenery.cfg list (No.1) to make sure it's above any landclass scenery/files for the area?

Hey Chuck! I'm doing okay for an old guy trying to keep up in this 21st century. I'll play around with my scenery.cfg file and see if that helps. I'll post on here what I find out..Hope you managed all that snow you Jersey guys got the other day! We got lots of wind but not too much snow. Just enough to give me a back-ache shovelling off the driveway until the wind blew it all back againIan

Nope - that didn't work. It's really strange as some of the taxiways and hardstands are there and others aren't. The AI aircraft are all properly displayed - I haven't seen anything like this before. The only "difference" is this is on my new PC with Win7 but that doesn't seem to make any sense as a cause, as all my other scenery is displaying perfectly normally. The only difference I can think of is I installed my Genesis mesh this time around whereas in my older installation I left it out and stuck with the generic mesh.Anybody got any ideas? It's not the end of the earth, but KRDG is near where I live and I have a special affiliation with the MAAM museum and enjoy flying their B25/C47/TBF out of a familiar airport .... All suggestions gladly recieved....Ian

Ian: Try the windows7 dedicated forum too. I just read something here the other day about User Account Control in W7 screwing things up. I shut UAC OFF completely completely on my laptop as soon as I heard all about the problems with it starting with VISTA.

Thanks Chuck but I've already got that one covered. I had read about that before I did the install, and have UAC completely disabled. I think maybe what I need to try is disabling the Genesis mesh and see if that makes a difference, though why I have no idea as there is no custom mesh with the MAAM scenery that I'm aware of.The scenery is useable - it's just that a number of hardstands and taxiways are invisible and so you see grass textures instead of what the AFCAD should be displaying. Frustrating as it's something I've not encountered before and all the usual fixes for similar problems don't seem to do anything.
