Hi Hans, Thank you. I have PM you. Kind regards Gavin

Hi everyone, I have in the end managed to increase the altitude of VIDP. However, no matter what i use or do to change it, I still have texture bleed through. I am at the end of my tether with this. I have been trying to sort this the last two days with very little help from Imaginesim and changing the altitude has had no change either. As a result, I am left with two products that I cannot fix or use due to the problems. I really don't know what to do. Screenshot attached https://www.dropbox.com/s/y1ivfyg6wv7c3si/VIDP%20Bleed%20Through.jpg?dl=0 Thanks Gavin

Hi, I have just read the instructions for changing an altitude in ADE for VIDP and followed it to the letter. However, it hasn't saved the altitude I wanted. Explanation as follows: Stock airport altitude: 943.999 feet Original Imaginesim altitude: 943.993 I changed the altitude in ADE to 943.999 for Imaginesim VIDP bgl to 943.999, check the airport properties and runways and all said 943.999. Then I complied it as per ADE instructions and saved. For some reason, the new ADE bgl and alt bgl are only showing altitude of 943.996? Higher than it was but still below the stock airport. Any help please? Kind reagrds Gavin

Hi Hans and John, Thank you both for your replies. John, I am not sure sure what you mean by putting the new file before the default airport file? Do you mean create a new folder with scenery sub folder in somewhere like Addon Scenery, add it to the scenery library in FS and move it down below everything else? I have a problem with VIDP as well now , another Imaginesim scenery. I have done three new fresh installs of FS2004 over the last day. On these new installs, I have installed VIDP first before any other addon, so basically its the default sim with just VIDP added and I still get bleed through without me touching anything, so it must be something to do with the afcad. I have also mad esure I am running FS in administrator mode and windows xp service pack 2 compatability. I have emailed Imaginesim twice today with no reply. I have asked them for suggestions and help and they haven't responded today apart from yesterday saying its an elevation issue and having a go at me for getting frustrated. They replied yesterday when I got frustrated that now two of my airports have bleed through problems with: "Hi Gavin, Thanks for getting back to me. I do have a few further suggestions. But please let me know if you prepared to listen to the support I'm offering? Or have you decided that our products are at fault, notwithstanding that hundreds of thousands of other imaginesim customers are using our products quite happily day in and day out. Kind regards" Now they are not replying to my emails. This is not how a company should behave towards customers. I have bought 6 of their products over the years and been a customer for over 15 years now. I'm upset that they act like a child and refuse to talk to you if you get frustrated with problems with their own products. I look forward to any help. Kind regards Gavin

Hi Hans Thanks for your reply. On the AFCAD I have the altitude is 18 feet. I'll try this next time. Unfortunately I'm not great at working with AFCADS, I know the basics like changing an elevation and parking spots but when it gets to creating flattens and excludes etc, I have no idea. I've looked at some posts before but they go into so much detail and I get lost. We are not all experts in knowing how to do things. I have noticed that when I do a new install of FS9, the terrain data doesn't look right i.e. the terrain radius etc are all =o like this: TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=0TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=0TERRAIN_EXTENDED_LEVELS=0 I don't know what they should be? I am waiting for a reply from Imaginesim with some other suggestions, so far all they have said is that's in an elevation issue but when I change the elevation by a few feet, the problem remains in both KEWR and VIDP now. I emailed them today getting frustrated because I now have two of their airports with the same problem and all I got back was an email with AFCADS attached but for a completely different airport (one which I have never bought) and a slightly annoyed email from them saying that do I want their help or am I going to blame their products being faulty, and I got no more help from them today. This had made me upset (it's not the way a company should speak to a customer of over 15 years) and I'm tired of trying to sort this out, I've been doing this for the last 24 hours and nothing else. I really don't know what to do. Kind regards Gavin Moss

Hi, I've just tried this flatten instructions and it hasn't made a difference. I'm so upset, I've been working on this problem for over 24 hours and nothing fix's it no matter what I do, I feel just like giving up and not install or use these airports I have paid for. I really need some proper help here. This never used to happen on my old pc with windows 7. Regards Gavin Moss

Hi Dedl, Thank you for your reply. I did a complete reinstall of FS9 and and started off with Imaginesim VIDP. Also I have bleed through on this airport and on a clean basic fresh install of FS9 with no other addons at all. I have just tried your suggested instructions as above. I don't know if it's something to with FS9 cfg terrain settings or my Nvidia graphics card settings? I am not a graphics card expert o do not know what my settings should be if this is the problem. My Nvidia graphics card is: GTX 1650. I really need some technical help as this is happening with a clean new install of FS9 but only my Imaginesim addons. Kind regards Gavin Moss

Hi John, Thanks for your reply. I have already seen this post. Unfortunately I think I'm going to have to do a complete reisntall of FS9, thats the only way I managed to clear my last Imaginesim problem with texture bleed throughs at VIDP. I'm so annoyed, every bleed through problem I've had over the years has been Imaginesim.products only. Imaginesim said its an elevation problem, even though they have a flatten bgl and exclude bgl. And I have set the elevation higher but not a word not allowed thing works. Kind regards Gavin Moss

Good evening everyone, Once again I'm having a problem in FS9 with Imaginesim and texture bleed through. I bought KEWR years ago. Since then I have had a new pc which is only two years old and a new graphics card which is only 6 months old. In my KEWR, I am getting texture bleed thorugh around the runways again, I ahve had the same problem before with other Imaginesim airports and only happens with Imaginsesim airports. I have tried the following: Raised the elevation of the airport by 3ft using both ADE and AFX Deleted the Flatten bgl in the scenery folder Deleted the flatten entry in the scenery cfg file Deleted the exclude entry in the scenery cfg file Interestingly, that when i deleted both the exclude and flatten entries in the scenery cfg file, the bleed thorugh seemed to disappaear but then I had the default taxiways signs etc come up. I have already spent over 4 hours trying to figure this out and fix it, I simply do no have the time to keep wasting on trying to fix something I have already paid for. I do not have any third party mesh/vectors installed or terrain installed Any help mwould be appreciated as I am at my wits end yet again, spending hours trying to fix a simple problem. Screenshot attached. https://www.dropbox.com/s/t7291nk062djei1/Imaginesim%20KEWR%20Bleed%20Through.png?dl=0 I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards Gavin Moss

Good evening, I have a question about MSFS having just bought this weekend! I can't post on here about my problem so tried the MSFS forum but that says You are not allowed to view the requested resource?? What is the point in Microsoft having a forum which you cannot post in??? I have a simple question that I can't seem to ask anywhere. I have been part of the flight sim community for well over 10 years and getting no help whatsoever. Does nayone have any help for me in how I can post a simple question relating to MSFS when I can't even post in their own forum (and yes I have signed up and signed in) I am at the end of my tether again Kind regards Gavin Moss

Good evening everyone, I bought MSFS2020 this weekend, the graphics look great and it plays very well and smooth on my pc. I am however having a problem with external camera views (the old spot view in previous versions). In external view, when turning or going up or down, the camera floats/lags behind the aircraft (like the old gradual transition in FS2004) to the point the aircraft almost disappears out of sight. I have FS9, FSX and P3dV4 and know you can have fixed camera views in them but I'm not sure about MSFS2020? I have looked online for any answers but cannot figure the keyboard commands and cannot find a simple straight forward answer. I've looked at the controls section in the menu but there are so many options, I am not sure which ones to change or enable because I don't want to mess up any other camera settings. Like I said, I'm very new to MSFS 2020 as only just bought it this weekend. Any help would be very much appreciated. Kind regards Gavin Moss

Good afternoon, Has anyone had any problems getting a reply from Imaginesim? I need two installers reset and as their operations center no longer has FS9 as an option, I have to email to get my installers reset. I emailed about one installer and got a reply a few days later after chasing them up and this was done without a problem. I now need another two installers reset and despite having emailed them 4 times at least since last Friday, I have not had a single reply back from them! I don't know why they are not replying to my emails, I am a long standing customer of theirs having purchased 6 sceneries over many years and to me, this is not very good customer service. It puts me off buying from them in the future if I'm having this much trouble just trying to get a response. Kind regards Gavin Moss

Hi everyone, After a second flight test, the problem was back with bleed through. I had a look at what I had installed after installing MMMX and everything was fine until I installed Aerosoft AES. After looking at the AES folders, I discovered that there is an AFCAD folder in Aerosoft AES and indeed it had added a AFCAD for MMMX (must have been part of their installer) So after deleting this AFCAD in the AES folder, did another test flight and the problem was gone, so it seems it was this AFCAD that I didn't even know about that was causing the problem. Kind regards Gavin Moss

Hi Hans, Thank you for your reply and previous reply. I did what you suggested yesterday and changed the units in AFX to metres instead of feet and changed the default AP bgl (backing up the original of course) to the same as MMMX bgl. I did a test flight and all seemed fine so far with no bleed throughs. I had read other posts from the past where people have made an addon AFCAD higher in elevation than the default one. In most posts I have read, this seemed to be the case that people were suggesting to do an addon AFCAD higher in any bleed through problem. I had no idea that they had to be exactly the same elevation to fix bleed throughs, so thank you very much for this advice, this is the first time it has ever been suggested so its very much appreciated. Hopefully if I encounter with any other addons, I can apply the same thing. Thanks Gavin

Hi John, I've reinstalled again and seems fine so far today whereas yesterday it wasn't, the only thing I have changed today is to run FS9 as Administrator so I'm wondering if this small one thing could be the cause of it. Thanks Gavin

Hi Hans, Thank you for your reply, this is very handy to know and have copied your reply to notepad and saved for me to refer to. The only thing I am not sure about is the runway and header data that needs to be edited, I have no idea where to start with that. Thanks Gavin

Hi Steve, Just to let you know I did a fresh clean install of FS9 this week with no 3rd party mesh etc and still got texture bleed throughs. I hadn't touched the AFCAD at all and like I said, a clean install of FS9. Link below of my screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hh3io7be2fa7o2u/Imaginesim VIDP Bleed Through.jpg?dl=0 Thanks Gavin

Hi Steve, Thank you for your reply. I have emailed Imaginesim a few times with this problem and never been given or had an update file for the centre lights, this is all news to me. How can I get hold of it if Imaginesim have never sent me it or mentioned it? Kind regards Gavin Moss

Hi Steve, Is there an update fix for this? I've never seen one before

Hi John, Thank you. I now have a problem with Imaginesim VIDP, same thing, texture bleed through and can't fix it. Terrain settings in FS9.cfg fixed T2G MMMX but now have Imaginesim problem. I'm at a loss as to what to do. I really feel like giving up and throwing my pc out the window, I've done nothing but testing for days and now another problem, I don't know what to do. Kind regards Gavin moss

Good evening, I posted a topic last week as I have a problem with textures in FS9 for Taxi2Gate Mexico City MMMX as I was getting texture bleed through on the taxiways.. I uninstalled the whole sim, reinstalled everything (I do not have any mesh installed whatsoever). After extensive testing, I looked at the terrain settings in my FS9.cfg and the last three entries were as follows: TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=0.000000 TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=0.000000 TERRAIN_EXTENDED_LEVELS=0 I changed them to the below as per a post I read online somehwere: TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=9.000000 TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=9.000000 TERRAIN_EXTENDED_LEVELS=4 This seems to have solved the problem with T2G Mexico City. But I have a problem with Imaginesim VIDP and bleed through (I had this problem before with VIDP and nothing fixed it until I did a complete reinstall of the whole sim) I am at my wits end with FS9 and these texture problems I keep getting, one airport fixed and another problem somewhere else, and I have changed the elevations in the AFCAD numerous times but doesn't fix it. I seriously feel like throwing my pc out of the window right now, it's really getting to me and spend most of my time not actually flying but testing and trying to fix texture problems that don't get fixed. I don't even want to try flying at the moment in case I end up with another texture problem somewhere else. I have no idea what the terrain settings in my FS9.cfg should be. I really need some help on this. I never had this problem on my old pc (I have had my new pc just over 2 years now). I don't know if its the FS9.cfg, scenery problem, or Nvidia drivers or settings? I'm really stuck and its getting me down and can't enjoy simming. Link below to the Imaginesim VIDP texture problem: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hh3io7be2fa7o2u/Imaginesim%20VIDP%20Bleed%20Through.jpg?dl=0 Look forward to hearing from anyone and some help. Kind regards Gavin Moss

Hi John, Well I spent the last few days uninstalling and reinstalling all of FS9. Did a test flight today and all seemed fine so I did a longer flight and when I landed at MMMX, texture bleed through is back. I have not added any 3rd party mesh or textures and been so careful to make sure the scenery.cfg is in order which it is. The only thing that has happened today I've noticed is that my Nvidia GeForce had an update download ready. I do not have automatic Nvidia downloads in case I'm in the middle of simming. I have Nvidia GeForce Experience installed which I remember on my old pc i didn't because it caused memory problems. Taxi2Gate I have contacted but their forum page is not working so cannot even see any suggestions there. I am going to uninstall Nvidia GeForce experience and just have the drivers in case that is causing a problem somewhere. If it is not related to Nvidia, I really don't know what to do, it's driving me so crazy at the moment. Kind regards Gavin Moss

Hi John, Thank you for your reply. When I get a texture bleed through at an addon airport, its impossible to rectify even with uninstalling and reinstalling (I always make sure I delete the whole addon folder to make sure no files are left behind) I have started reinstalling FS9 this weekend. One thing I have noticed while installing addons is that sometimes there are different scenery.cfg files in the main FS9 root folder, namely NewScenery.cfg, OldScenery.cfg and Scenery.cfg. I have started to delete the Scenery.cfg and OldScenery.cfg and rename NewScenery.cfg to Scenery.cfg as it seems to be the latest update cfg file according the the timestamp and I do this after every addon installed to make sure there are no errors in the layering. I presume its ok to rename NewScenery.cfg to Scenery.cfg Kind regards Gavin Moss

Hi Yes I have done both of these. I'm properly annoyed. T2G I have bought 2 airports from Mexico (the problem I'm having with) and Hamad (had the same texture problems with that airport too) But its not just T2G, I have got problems with some other addons. Something has gone wrong somewhere in my sim and when you can't find it out, there is no option but to completely reinstall my whole windows 10 install and all my FS9 stuff, it will take me over a week to do. It has really put me off buying from some developers, companies of which we pay good money to over the years. I have no choice but to do all this over the next week, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, changed elevation, done flattens and done at least 10 test flights to the airport over the last few days with no success!!! Thanks Gavin Moss

Hi, Tried the flatten and hasn't worked. This is what does word not allowed me off with some FS scenery developers (they don't test there software properly sometimes), could be any number of reasons. I've reset my scenery.cfg layers using the scenery configurator and wasted two days already just testing!!! Last time this happened I had to completey reinstall Windows 10 and everything I had which took me a week to get everything back to normal, all because of one problem, not a happy man right now. Thanks for you guys that have tried to help with suggestions Gavin Moss
