MMMX default has problem

Featured Replies

Hi to all Pilots, I purchased the TAXI2GATE - MMMX MEXICO CITY XTREME FSX. Loaded FSX with Aircreation Strike to MMMX airport. Found something weird while flying around and sent to T2G Support for help. T2G said it is from sim problem. Loaded only the MMMX default and yes, T2G was right. I wonder if someone had such problem as the screenshots. Any ideas?

Hi Patricio,

Where is the double season?  I don't see it.  The image looks like landing lights to the left as it makes the terrain look like that everywhere I fly.  If this is a problem with FSX, then you have serious problems as FSX support has ended and it is no longer being upgraded.  Now, what happens if you change it to summer?  Or Spring? or Fall? or Winter?  In any case it is not the fault of the airport scenery developer OR FSX but some problem with the configuration of your FSX.  Did you delete the fsx.cfg and restart?  Thousands and thousands of individuals own this scenery and you are the first one to find this issue?  The developer didn't find it during his testing before final release of the airport?  Do you have bloom turned on?

Best regards,

Jim

I thought it was double season and the reason a filenamed wrong but the issue still. It is kind of mist clouds that looking as split images. I fly over that mist and it disappears. I changed the FSX weather theme default "Fair Weather" to "Clear Skies (clears all weather)" option and such mist or clouds problem resolved. So, each time I load MMMX scenery I have to do that Weather changes to stop the funny clouds touching the terrain as per screenshots. I didn't try others weather themes yet. I am doing some research on the web and one guy loaded a Concorde in MMMX stating that clouds are showing in the airport. Don't know yet if more pilots have that problem. As I stated in this thread, I loaded only the MMMX default and the clouds are present so I know is not the T2G scenery.

What can be done? So far is just with MMMX regardless if default or payware.

T2G answered me:

" Hi, those are the clouds, that happends even with default airport, is a sim issue. "

So, I am trying to find the trick otherwise I know have to load weather: Clear Skies.

You will encounter this issue with pretty much all high terrain. FS/FSX doesn't pay attention to how high the terrain is when it generates weather so cloud heights are based on sea level. In places like KDEN or MMMX which on very high terrain, this is what you get.

Explored KDEN and I don't see clouds in contact with ground as MMMX. So, KDEN pass for me. MMMX shows (screenshots) a straight split, mist clouds and terrain, very bad.

They have very excellent weather generation products for FSX.

I have plenty OOM so I don't need Active Sky (lol). Thanks for that link

If the clouds are above the elevation of the airport above sea level, then you won't have the clouds on the ground. KDEN is `5000 feet, clouds at 7000 feet would be 2000 feet above ground level - clouds at 5000 feet wouldn't be.
