October 26, 201312 yr Hey guys! I'm a nooby and this is my first post so go easy on me I've recently installed a couple of FSX add-ons, to be specific i used REX Essential FTX Central (Northwest America) and GEX Europe I've realized that my machine and graphics card are not powerful enough to run all above with acceptable frames/sec, so i reverted back to the original scenery files thought that in itself deserves another topic post. [AMD FX 8350 8 Core, 4.2GHz overclocked at 4.4GHz + AMD Radeon HD 7950 3gb + 8 Gigs of RAM] I made sure to restore my original scenery files however, when spawning in Seattle Airport KSEA, i found that the scenery and ground profiles were corrupted, meaning that a couple of hills are on my runway! see attached photo. When i enable FTX however, the hills disappear! Any help will be great! Thanks in advance!
October 26, 201312 yr I'm no scenery wizard, but this looks like a mesh issue. Hope someone more knowledgeable than me comes along and helps! Elijah HoytCFI, CFII, CMEL, CSEL, CSES, IFR
October 26, 201312 yr In the scenery library, delete the "PNW_Mesh" PNW_Scenery PNW_Objects... I cannot remember the exact names but that usually fixes that problem. - - Tommy - -
October 27, 201312 yr Author I'll try that and report back! More details on the issue, during a multi session last night I also noticed that other planes are positioned higher than my plane. I took a snap shot but can't seem to figure out how to attache it to this post.
October 27, 201312 yr If you could take a screenshot of your "Scenery Library" That would help a lot bud! - - Tommy - -
October 28, 201312 yr Author Here's a snapshot of the levitating planes :mellow: Edited October 28, 201312 yr by firehawk44 Image exceeds 1600W and 400KB Limits. Yours 1900W and 2.10MB's
October 28, 201312 yr Author I see your post now, I hope this is what you're asking for i.e. not the actual folders in Windows?
October 28, 201312 yr Look in your \FSX\Scenery\World\scenery folder and see if there is a file sitting in there with KSEA or SEA in the name and is dated newer than 2006/2007. If so, rename it with an added extension of .OFF, so it's .BGL.OFF. Then go check KSEA again with your add on scenery disabled.
October 28, 201312 yr /ORBX/FTX_NA/FTX_NA_PNW05_SCENERY/ - ORBX/FTX_NA/FTX_NA_PNW06_CVX/ ORBX/FTX_NA/FTX_NA_PNW07_MESH/ - ORBX/FTX_NA/FTX_NA_PNW08_CUSTOM/ all need to be added to the scenery library... I had the same problem, then I installed PNW and it still was like that. So I added those 4 entries into the scenery library, and it worked. - - Tommy - -
November 1, 201312 yr Author Thanks a lot guys!!! meshman's fix worked like a charm!! Thanks a lot!!!!!! Tommy, just out of curiosity, what did you mean by adding entries into the scenery library? Create dummy folders? or did you mean for me to copy them from the targets you listed above into the scenery library folder?
