Does anybody know why this bridge in NY appears to have fallen in the water? LOL...This obviously has to be an addon but I don't know which one. I have the new Manhattan Scenery installed but I don't know if that has caused the problem. I am going to disable that scenery and check but I wanted to post the screenshot to see if anybody else has ever seen thishttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/68576.jpg

Well I can confirm that it is NOT the new Manhanttan scenery. So anybody seen this with another (probably freeware)scenery addon?

The briddge in the sim is dorked, its not even the bridge i think but the mesh. The default river is wrong on the west side. The add-on scenery for NY from aerosoft did not fix the problem. I am working on a fix that flattens the river and puts a new bridge that does not slant in place of the old one. Should be uploading it this week.Hornit

This is a known mesh issue. Check the aerosoft forum at http://forum.aerosoft-shop.com/forum/index.phpMisha

Ok...Thanks guys. Its obviously been that way for a while then but I just don't remember seeing it before. So you guys are saying its that way with just the default scenery and mesh to? Because I do have addon mesh that I was going to disable next to see if any of it was causing the problem. But if its still there with the defaults then I'm not going to bother.

Hi,The problem is the bridge. It is coded at an incline to conform to the default mesh which is also erroneously inclined.Applying accurate terrain mesh fixes the incline in the river, but not the incline in the bridge. The bridge will have to be recoded to put it level for those using high-res terrain mesh.-------Justinhttp://www.fsgenesis.netHigh Quality Scenery for FS200x

Hey Milamber...I like your mini panel up on top. Always said I was going to do that but of course it got put on the back burner. Is there an add-on that did that automatically for you or did you have to edit manually?Is it something you paste here so I can copy? thankspony

This is what I see with default scenery and mesh.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/68637.jpgKurt M

HI Kurt,Now slew to the water surface and look at the river and bridge.-------Justinhttp://www.fsgenesis.netHigh Quality Scenery for FS200x

Just as an aside, the real bridge does slope. The bluffs on the west bank are a lot higher than the east.Richard

But does the real river slope? :-)-------Justinhttp://www.fsgenesis.netHigh Quality Scenery for FS200x

This is getting very zen.

Richard. I have driven across the GWB countless times. It does not slope, and most certainly the water beneath it does not slope. The bridge departs a cliffside in Washington Heights on Manhattan (note the 'Heights' suffix) and lands on a wedge blasted into the side of the Palisades on the NJ side. Suspension bridges don't work well when asymmetrical. Like on any suspension bridge, the middle is slightly higher than the ramps, but unlike the Brooklyn or Manhattan bridges, the GWB stays pretty much level for the entire ride because there are cliffs on both ends. The default mesh and bridge are quite simply messed up. Misha

That mini-panel was included with the newest Heli-Hud I downloaded from here. I don't remember the file name but I'm sure if you search for hud you will find it. The HUD is also really cool looking.

Hi Pony,Re your question abt mini-panel position:Go to FS9/Aircraft/Default/Panel, open panel.cfg. Change wherever you see Position=7 to Position=1 (in my case 3 places).This will put your mini-panel of every aircraft on top of screen and facilitate VFR and landing.It was Heather, who gave this tip for FS2002 on June-02-02 in this Forum. It works equally well for FS9.Roland
