Virgin Gorda is flat

Featured Replies

Is this a problem with my elevation mesh or is it a malfunction of the FSX? If the former, is there a way to update just that without a complete reinstall and addon?

Hello Mark,I suppose that you mean Tortola. The source data used by the ACES developers was incomplete and they left it to us to fix it, because they were really, really busy with much more important stuff. Jost and some of the smaller islands (Peter, Norman) are also missing the altitude mesh.Best regards.Luis

No, I meant Virgin Gorda. All my other islands look fine with some addons from Tropical Sim for St. Thomas and Beef Island. and possible from Caribbe_Nd.zip (Nord Caribbe) for FsX, Mai 2007. The latter tends to bomb my FSX when I get close to Puerto Rico ILS, So I don't have it turned on, but the mesh looks good enough except VG.I sail there, and it is my favorite place to fly around. Thanks for the good work.Is there any particular BGL I should add to fix VG?

Excuse me, Mark, in FS X Virgin Gorda has altitude mesh and Tortola does not:Here is the default Tortola and then how it looks after I added the mesh:So, if you have a flat Virgin Gorda, then perhaps one of your add-on scenery packages has created a problem. If this is so, then you might consider de-activating them to see if that clears up the problem.Best regards.Luis

Hello,Luis, what mesh did you add?Lynn

Hello Lynn,It's home-made mesh. But, since the mesh and the land masses are not aligned (the ACES guys used different sources that did not match), often the mesh is under the ocean. So, I also had to draw all the islands over again. And re-do the land class. And the water class, and the seasons that are wrong, etc.No airports and the whole thing is not really finished. But, if you are interested and if you can put up with unfinished amateur work, then I would be happy to send it to you. Just give me an address via the Avsim Private Message system if you want it.Best regards.LuisBeef Island defaultBeef Island after with Christian's terminal buildingsBest regards.Luis

Great job redoing the mesh for those islands. Looks great! :(

Is there anyway for a novice like me to determine what is in each BGL without disabling them one at a time?
