Disappearing scenery parts

Featured Replies

Some parts of FS2002 objects and polygons seem to disappear when you come close to them from some angles at some areas. Is there some known solution to this problem?Kjartan

Sounds like a wrong v2 value of the RefPoint. With which program did you make the scenery?Arno

If the world should blow itself up, the last audible voice would be that of an expert saying it can't be done.

I use FS Architect but the default scenery also has this malfunction at the same spots.

I am not familiar with Architect, so I don't know if it calculates the v2 value automatically. If you must enter it manual, try to increase the value and see if that solves the problem.Arno

Ok I have tried to change the v2 value both inside the program and manually but with no luck. I have also tried for long time to contact those who made it but also with no luck. Is there anybody who uses Architect out there who had this problem and solved it?Kjartan.

In case nobody else replies :), you could also post the code of the polygon here, maybe that can help in solving the problem.Arno

I don't see any v2 value in this source, so that might be the problem (not sure, normally if you have no v2 it only decreases the performance). Have you tried adding the v2 in those RefPoints? You should place it after the v1 value and the value should be the radius that includes all parts of the object.Arno
