Maccosim Manchester Issue

Hey All,

Has anyone else seen an issue with this scenery? All of a sudden I am now facing sudden hills and craters on the taxiways (so steep the aircraft can get stuck!).

I have reinstalled but to no avail. Also turned up the mesh resolution as far as it will go... but still huge issues.

Any advice would be most appreciated,

 

many thanks

Jane

Although I don't have that scenery, I would experiment with Photogrammetry ON vs. OFF and see if it helps.  Photogrammetry setting is in MSFS options under "Data".

I've not seen that issue. The only thing I have noticed is runway 23R threshold is quite steep but not anything like you describe.

I'm on SU15 beta with photogrammetry off. Ultra settings.

Hi Jane.
I have Maccosim Manchester v2.1.5, and just checked this morning. I don't have the hills/craters so it must be something closer to you.
Any recent changes?

You could remove all scenery addons and just keep the Maccosim Manchester. If that solves the issue, it might be another airport, or the Orbx UK Mesh if you have purchased that.

You do have the WU for the British Isles installed?

Just for info as I don’t have MSFS but live close to EGCC is you should be aware the 05L end of that runway is 37ft lower than the 23R end.

To add to the complexity there is a hump approximately 1/3 of the way along from the 23R end. Pilots who haven’t landed there before can be caught out. So the slope from the hump can be considerable. 😁

If all this is modelled in any Manchester scenery it’s an excellent depiction.

Interesting, Ray.

Your description seems to represent what I see on approach to 23R, the end of the runway up to the numbers is quite steep then starts to flatten to the touch down markers. (Steep, but not unrealisticly steep)

I aim for just beyond the touchdown markers to avoid too high a landing rate

They ought to make that area a displaced threshold.

I haven’t flown into EGCC with a view from the cockpit in daylight so hard to judge. I just remember back in 2000 sitting in the jump seat of a BA757 from Gatwick when the captain warned the 1st Officer about the hump and to make sure he touched down before it otherwise the slope thereafter could prove troublesome.

And turn a 10,000ft runway into a 7500ft one? Hmmm. Not with A380s landing. 😉

Oh heavens.  I didn't realize/realise they landed A380s there.

Two 10,000ft runways that could accommodate A380, B747 and… Concorde. 😉
