EGGP by DD v5 texture issue

Featured Replies

Hello,

I've got some texture/elevation issues with EGGP by Digital Design.

https://ibb.co/vkzVXZs
Does anyone know a solution?

The apron is fine, it is only the RWY with such an texture issue.

 

 

Cheers

Do you have ORBX scenery there?

From ORBX

ADE_FTX_ENG_EGGP.BGL, 

ADE_FTX_ENG_EGGP_CVX.bgl and 

FTX_ENG_EGGP_objects.bgl

could interfere

If you have them, rename them to .off

Also if you have a special mesh for UK, this could create some problems.

OS=WIN11 Home, Sim=P3D5 5.3 (P3D4 and FSX for install reasons)
Addons=ORBX, ASCA, AS, TOGA and tons of sceneries, aircraft

MB=Gigabyte AORUS Z790 Elite AX, CPU=i13900K, Cooling=Be quiet! Pure Loop II FX
GPU=KFA2 RTX3090 24 GB, RAM=64 GB DDR5-5600, HOTAS=Logitech G Saitek X52 Pro

I do not have those files 😞

Have you lost all of your runway and taxiway lights? If so, I suggest uninstalling Digital Design EGGP Liverpool, and then reinstalling it. I had a similar problem with this airport once in P3Dv4, but I am not certain how I resolved it. I would try the uninstall/reinstall first. Let me know whether that works or not.

Thanks for the help but after reinsalling I got the same problem again.

I have found the AVSIM thread that I started regarding this, and the resolution to my problem is in post #4.

Thank you, but does not make any difference

To me it looks like conflicting elevation data, as if the default terrain is set slightly above the scenery elevation. I'd recommend experimenting with elevation adjustments through Airport Design Editor, although there is a bit of a learning curve. Of course, the first thing you should do is create backup copies of the unmodified files so you can restore them. Scruffyduck has a helpful knowledge base:

It may take a bit of patience and testing, but anecdotally... this is how I was able to make Aerosoft KSMF work in my P3Dv4 install:

What regional scenery are you using for the UK?

That is a nice idea. I change the value now to 24,6 meters and everything is okay

Just ORBX Europe LC. Do not have ORBX TE for the UK

Edited by mobiel

Can anyone tell me if ORBx Europe LC includes updated airport AFD files?
