Terrain spikes are back

Featured Replies

I just experienced 2 ugly domes at LOWI. I cleaned the rolling cache just after WU6 installation so it's not that.

I checked the official forum to report the bug and found this thread. Spikes are back 😞

Yep.  Other types of landscape disruption as well unfortunately (trenches, holes in the water etc.).  We need Thor with his big hammer!  :smile:

I dont see them.  Banzai on line traffic in abundance. Back to AI traffic.

Typical. They deliver a really good DACH scenery for what I have seen so far and satisfactorily tuned the optimization process (aka shoehorning a big code in a little box) but they bring along old bugs. They don’y need Thor, they need a project manager.

I can't see spikes... or nothing... because of CTDs every flight!

I'm re-installing MSFS.

I keep my fingers crossed.

I just flew along the Bavarian Alps west towards Lake Constance. Beautiful area, spoiled by lots of ugly spikes. No fun, no fun at all !!

I have also seen them at LOWI, I assume we will get an update from ORBX I have their Innsbruck installed, has anybody flown there with out the ORBX Innsbruck add on?

Can't confirm.

Have also ORBX LOWI installed, but do not see any spikes or anomalies.

Even not in the other areas mentioned above.

 

Sure you disabled any mesh mods?

This would appear to be the site of the last one, as you see, not there.

Did you update everything, not just the simulator, did you install WU6, have you emptied your Community folder and have you yet deleted your Content.xml file and the scenery indexes?
The same goes for the area around LOWI.

In brief, the problem does not seem to lie with the simulator or with Orbx LOWI

Just flew out of LOWI (Orbx version) and saw nothing wrong at all.

Before reinstalling MSFS, check the stability of windows.
People do not know, but that is often what gives problems to other programs. 😉

I think there's still some hang overs from the fork merge they started for SU5. So bugs that got fixed in one fork, but not another, sometimes the unimproved version ended up in the resultant merge.

I have just seen 2 spikes at LOXZ. Out of interest I have everything set to ultra.

Did you guys uninstall default LOWI if you have ORBX LOWI?
