Weird issue with buildings only appearing at certain camera angles(Orbx airports)

Featured Replies

Anyone found a fix for this? I get this at Diamond point as well as Vashion and Wax Orchards. Simply moving the camera angle will make the buildings appear and disappear. I know this isn't supported but I'm trying to see if any users have found a fix.

Buildings appear fine at this angle.

But at this angle they all disappear.

I have the same problem with the Portland addon when I was trying to view Mt. Hood. I sent pictures to Orbx and I believe it's up on their site. A lot of Portland just disappeared by changing the radial from which I was viewing the city.

I wonder if it has to do with the DX11 lighting engine?

Well, the only fix will be to wait for the compatible version of these airstrips. I had this too and removed it again. Need not to waste time for something what ORBX will fix in the future.

Patience is needed.

I too had this issue awhile back with ORBX Orcas Island.  What I did to fix this was I placed the Orcas Island in the scenery menu above all others.

Thanks I'll give it a try.
