Scenery Problem in Northeast USA

Featured Replies

For some reason I am getting the "green curtain" mesh effect in my scenery around KLGA and KHPN (Westchester). I have these huge elevation differences around these areas. I have tried to locate offending mesh bgl files but no luck yet. I was last in these areas near the end of September and it was OK then. Not sure whether the FS9.1 upgrade did this or not. Any help or suggestions appreciated.Thanks!Airbus

AirbusOn my setup a combination of Bear Mountain Mesh and TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL 21 will produce this effect in the NYC area. If I either remove the mesh or change TMVL to 20 the curtain goes away.I tried changing other FS9.CFG TERRAIN_ settings to see if they would make a difference but changing TMVL to 20 is the only setting that will affect it.For now, I have unchecked that particular mesh in the Scenery menu and left TMVL at 21.

Bob,Thanks for your help; that did the trick. I left my TMVL at 21 and removed the mesh. I guess there are some tradeoffs that we have to get used to. I wonder if we will run into this problem elsewhere in the world.Airbus

Other ones have been reported but this is the only one I have seen so far. There was a very humorous post last year about the curtain phenomenon. The poster referred to it as "the thing". I tried to find that particular post again but couldn't.
