FSX adding polys to my photo scenery

[LuisFelizTirado 33]

Fascinating, Larry, simply fascinating. It seems, according to your screenshots, that this problem only appears at dusk (dawn?) which is often the source of other problems in FS.

 

Perhaps we can name this problem after you, since you discovered it - the "Larry anomaly"! :LMAO:

 

Best regards.

That looks like a peculiar rendition of shadows rather than default scenery.

 

Try unchecking "Ground scenery shadows" in Settings/Display/Scenery.

 

Or, try Variation=Day in Resample.

Just a thought...

 

On a separate thread we noticed what "appeared" to be FSX letting underlying panels bleed through top-level scenery. I don't know anything about making scenery so I could be wrong. But we had BlueSky on top at night which, as I understand it, does not have night scenery. But there it was at night and it looked ok. After studying it, it appeared that, maybe, it was letting my MegaScenery tiles 'bleed through' and it seemed to merge them by displaying MSE and then overlaying the dark areas of BlueSky on top of it. At least that was my interpretation.

 

Is it possible that the strange panels are on an underlying layer? Shooting in the dark here but if you have two copies of the panels selected, even if they're at a lower layer, you might try disabling/deleting them.

Ground Scenery Shadows was unchecked.

 

However when I changed "Variation = All" to "Variation = Day" in the INF file and resampled,

the problem was fixed.

 

Evidently this was a shadow, rather than a default scenery problem.

 

 

Thank you,

Hi Larry,

 

I'm glad it is "sort of" fixed. I must admit I have never seen that problem with Variation=All and I have made many photo-scenery areas.

 

Day:

 

 

Dawn:

Hi George,

 

 

I will continue making more scenery using the Day variation and test.
