Strange issues with scenery

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

I complete a flight LSZH - LGAV, with PMDG MD-11, I use the Aerosoft Mega Airport series addons of both airports, plus the GEX Europe and PILOT'S FS Ultimate Europe. The combination of these sceneries is fantastic but with some small problems. At first, flying over water, there was a tile or a square on the sea (light blue in colour) just following the airplane. Flying over land no problem. The other problem was that flying over seashores, the shores looked perfectly curved but I noticed some thin lines on the sea connecting the land in a more generic fashion and the curved shores were inside. And last, arriving at LGAV I noticed that some buildings were transparent. Before the flight I checked Athens X scenery, and all airport buildings were there. Not transparency at all. What causes these problems?

Thank you for any help.

Could it be caused by shadows? Maybe, check your options display settings and see what shadows you have turned on?

About shadows I have only the "aircraft cast shadows" option turned on but I don't believe shadows are creating these small issues. It looks more like a conflict between MS Scenery out from the box with addon scenery.

Yes I did all these I even played with the sliders but nothing

 

Have you tried the FlyTampa forums that handle the LGAV airport?

I don't believe it is only on that specific scenery. I get these transparent buildings after a 2 hour flight or longer. Once I was on the tarmac with a building infront of me and I changed only the time, from day to night, and the building got transparent. I tried to load the same position again back to daytime and the building was there.

 

About the blue tiles or the squares on the land, I don't know Im not an expert, but I think it has to do with the scenery layers if I can use such a term
