July 3, 201312 yr Ok guys i realized i get the terrain.dll error when im stuck at 68% adjusting scenery objects so i went into my settings and brong the autogen sliders all the way down and now the airport loads up any ideas??
July 4, 201312 yr any ideas?? Read about terrain.dll errors here: http://www.adventure-unlimited.org/faultfinding.php#fe Faulty terrain mesh. Regards, Mel P.S. A special thanks to John Hinson for this very helpful material.

A special thanks to John Hinson for this very helpful material. Thanks for this i will be looking into this,Funny thing though all these airports load up fine if my Autogen sliders are down all the way could this still be a result of faulty Mesh?
July 4, 201312 yr Thanks for this i will be looking into this,Funny thing though all these airports load up fine if my Autogen sliders are down all the way could this still be a result of faulty Mesh? Yes. The autogen setting does not control terrain mesh display. The autogen slider controls the display of 'objects' outside of the airports perimeters. Airports have their own 'mesh' in FS9 - a flatten, well at least they should. Those flattens are not adjustable from within the FS9 user interface or configuration files. Autogen settings do not control terrain mesh display or use. The only adjustment for mesh resolution is in the main FS9.cfg under; TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=num where num =19,20 or 21 where 19= minimum resolution / detail and 21= max resolution / detail. These setting still would not prevent a terrain mesh error no matter which value is selected because the faulty file would still load anyway. Here are some aspects to consider: If you have recently added scenery, one of those may have a terrain file located in the /scenery file that is corrupt or in conflict with another elsewhere. I would suggest disabling those one at a time to see if the problem goes away. If it does, go from there. If you have added third party terrain mesh for any part of the FS9 world and there is a bad file, as John wrote, you can have trouble anywhere. The best course of action would be to remove all of the terrain mesh then start putting it back in FS9 a few files at a time, testing each instance until the problem returns. At that point you will have isolated the problem file down to last few you just installed. If you don't have any third party mesh installed and deactivating your scenery had no results, then I would think you either have a bad default mesh file or the terrain.dll itself is the problem. Those files can be found on your FS9 disks and replaced without having to do a complete re-install of FS9. And, . . . . . . one last question, do you have FS9.0 updated to FS9.1? Regards, Mel
July 4, 201312 yr Yes its on 9.1 thanks for the information, I thought it nay have been a Mesh problem but the trouble exist only if my autogen sliders are altered. iwill make a quick video so you can see whats happening. Heres an example while i make the video if i go into my FS9 Settings and slide my Autogen to Sparse or Dence the airport will not load the status bar stays at 68% (Ajusting Scenery Objects or something like that then Crashes with a Terrain.dll and MC70,DLLor something like that. If i slide the autogen sliders all the way down the airports load up fine and everything is good but offcorse no autogens cause of the sliders being all the way down.
July 4, 201312 yr This might sound Strange but i realize that if i choose the Coca Cola Baby Ace aircraft it crashes at 1%, but if i choose the deafault Aircraft it crashes at 68% Example Baby Ace aircraft - Crash occurs at 1% Loading Scenery Objects Default Cessna Skylane -Crash occurs at 60% Adjusting scenery objects Now if the Autogen sliders are down as shown in the video link i provided No crash occurs
July 4, 201312 yr A few notes about testing. Always use the default C172 for testing. Using an addon plane could add extra factors that make troubleshooting harder. When testing only change one parameter at a time. Watching your video I see you move two sliders at once and then test. Those sliders do very different things and we do not know which one is causing the problem. My money is on Scenery Complexity which points to bad textures on scenery objects as a possible cause. If you have any addons for those airports you must a) test with them disabled and B) verify that they have not changed or replaced any default files. You may have multiple issues here so we need to pinpoint them as finely as possible to correct them. regards, Joe The best gift you can give your children is your time.

I did try it with the default cessna as i read somewhere that it did fix the issue for someone on another post but dint help much the only difference is that it crashed on 68% instead of 1% as it did with the other aircraft. I din t in fact test it with seperate sliders thanks for pointing that out i will most definitly give that a try. ^_^
July 5, 201312 yr Video Update Testing with deafault Cessna and single slider Looks to be acting up only when the autogen slider is set to higher then none only happens in some airports http://s886.photobucket.com/user/Abel_Rios/media/capture-1_zps5b6f696c.mp4.html
July 9, 201312 yr Hey guys so ive narrowed it down to an autogen problem considering that everything works well in this area if i turn off the autogen slider as shown on this video http://s886.photobuc...6f696c.mp4.html . Only happens in certain airports in spain some other airports work fine in spain. Ive used my CFG Editor to disable all add on airports and sceneries bu unchecking them all so i dont think its an addon issue perhaps theres a BGL File that can be replaced using fs2004 running on a different computer any ideas??? Id like to know where fs2004 stores the BGL Files for autogen for Spain,,,,, i have the number for the HP,FL,RR,RD,PK,HL,UT 948170 All seems to be dated in 2003 so im sure there not the culprit but perhaps one of the autogen files is.
July 9, 201312 yr Autogen is not created by a .bgl file, it is created by an .agn file and they are typically located in ...\FS9\Scenery\World\texture. Look in that folder for files with names that are 13 numbers and have an .agn extension. If you find them, move them to a temporary folder and test. If you get no crash add them back in blocks until you pinpoint the bad one(s). You may have to search your files for .agn files not located in ...\FS9\Scenery\World\texture, but I would start there. regards, Joe The best gift you can give your children is your time.

Sure it could have been just one of those autogen files haha but i changed the default ones instead i had over 1,000 .agn files in that folder surely some are from attons but in my case it was the default ones dated in 2003. The ones on my folder for Example 004B2an1.Agn had a date of August 24, 2006 (dont wory both computers had the 9.1 update) The one from the laptop wich was a clean install with the 9.1 updated wich i installed seperatly had the same file dated 004B2an1.agn May-21-2003 Dee picture below for reference (Not sure what may have caused this since both Sims where running 9.1 ) but i change them with the 2003 AGN Files and no more terrain DLL error and all the airports ar working.
July 12, 201312 yr Autogen files are directly tied to the texture files with the same name. If you have ever installed replacement ground textures, such as Ground Environment Pro, they would have also replaced the .agn files or the autogen would not line up with the new textures. Glad you can now fly. regards, Joe The best gift you can give your children is your time.
