dominique Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Hi Sherm Is it a plateau with the aiport on top or a pointed spike that you wouldn't want to sit on ? And does it appear suddenly or was it here when you entered into the sim ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Hi Sherm I cannot read the coordinates of the issue on this screenshot ... Could you please provide it or post this screenshot with more resolution? Cheers, Voyager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermank Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Thanks for your help on this. The coordinates for the spike are N48*1.92 W122*56.95. Since my first post last night, I have reinstalled NA Airports, reset FTX Central2 to NA, reloaded the latest libs. Nothing has changed. But, I did discover another problem. In FTX Central, though KBVS is a listed airport add on, The Control Panel shows this In fact, I get a similar red warning for virtually all of the add on airports that offer individual controls. As for KBVS this is what I see Needless to say, not a very pretty picture. I always appreciate our community's generosity with help and advice, and repeat that thanks for this issue.

Voyager Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Hi Well, as the spike, especially in this region (OS9), never seen one. See screenshot of the indicated position: As for that other issue, I think you should run again, this application: C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Roaming\Orbx Systems\ObjectFlowUpdate\InstallObjectFlowUpdate.exe See I'm not an expert, but I think there will be an improvement.

FreeBird Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I have had those spikes in that area before and they went away when I installed w28. Mine were more like spears than yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 The spikes' issues in(to) "fat regions" has to do with the type of mesh that is used. In the case of PNW, Orbx uses FSGX2010 from Pilot's. In FSGX2010 the spikes and puddings are "controlled" by Vector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And does it appear suddenly or was it here when you entered into the sim ? It is not a plateau. It appeared gradually as I flew toward it, rather than a sudden pop up.

Your shot is from FS9. Mine is with FSX. I will try your other suggestion. Thanks Sherm See I'm not an expert, but I think there will be an improvement.

I do have FS genesis USA as well as UTX for US and CANADA. It is not noted in my sign but of course I have ORBX PNW with all the current patches. Most recent is a cumulative 08 patch update. Fwiw, I have found only one KBVS bgl related file on my HD . I am on my iPad typing this and not at the PC, so cannot tell you the exact name of the file I have found or in what folder. Should there be other KBVS files. Btw, the install is one of the ORBX freeware airports. I have not searched others at this point for similar problems other than in routine day to day flights where no such anomalies have been noted.

FreeBird Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I still have it but thought it was gone. Here is a picture. This is on a clean install and a few of my friends have it also. Maybe the guys at Orbx will look into it but for me its not that big of deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominique Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Digging out it seeems that there was a problem of that kind around patch 5. So is your PNW the result of an earlier version that you've progressively patched or is it the last 1.80 full installer ? In the first case, download 1.80 and install it. EDIT sorry didn't see the post where you said that you're up to 1.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermank Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 The spike mystery is solved....it turns out it was created when I downloaded scenery connected to Coos Bay Hops.... I discovered this when I looked at the area on Plan G and discovered CBSS as an ICAO designator. I moved my plane for takeoff there and this is what I found...wait for it.... ) I found the related bgl in addon scenery and deleted it. so, the spike is gone. However, I still have the issue with no textures at KBVS.....hoping someone can solve that for me....thanks all...this hobby never ceases to amaze....
