New payware scenery:

Thanks Mario, I have 3 other TropicalSim airports for XP and they're very good value.

This is off my usual tracks but hey it's good to discover new vistas now and then.

It's a very nice scenery, except the problem that the Runways are completely blurry, because of textures. Do someone know how to put the Runways over these textures? In World Editor the Runway is not set as transparent but as Asphalt, so why is it still blurry?

Nobody knows how to fix the runways? Am i the only one who purchased it?

I made a short test. It appears that this depends on your "world detail distance" setting. Here is a comparison:

 

Thanks Mario. Ok but thats very bad. It's almost the only airport who has such bad textures (i am flying with medium distance settings). So i tried to replace the textured Runways with standrad out-of-the box Runways (World Editor) but i can't put any RWY over the texture. Do you know perhaps how to perform this?

Well, the textures themselves are good, some of the ground textures are very high-res (I checked them with a DDS viewer). The problem is that they are hidden when the distance settings are too low.

 

Unfortunately I'm not a scenery developer, so I don't know if this setting can be changed in WED, or if the .obj files have to be edited for that, or if anything else has to be done.

 

If nothing else helps, one could write to TropicalSim and ask for a patch.

 

 

Edit: I wrote a short mail to TropicalSim about that, maybe somebody will tell us what to do...

Thanks a lot for having written to them! Well, even with the highest distance-resolution the blurry disappear a little bit but during the approach it is still very difficult to see the contours of the RWY, since the blurry disapear at around 1-2 Km..that means 30 seconds before landing and that very late.

It is compatible with the "follow terrain" X-plane? If yes, buy it.

 

Sorry my bad english :(

Nobody?  :unsure:

Sorry, have not seen this question.

 

IIRC it works correctly with terrain contours, but I will check later.

Waiting for your confirmation to purchase  :rolleyes:

It works correctly with "terrain contours".

Thanks bro!  B)

My 2 cents about the runway:

Open the scenery in overlay editor , locate which file is used fot the rw textures , open this file and check if there is somthing related to LOD , if so , delete it.
