Bermuda425 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Hi Larry, yesterday I visited Bow Island, Alberta and saw the airport taxiway and apron textures disappearing, just like in this video at time 17:18. What causes this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramonb Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Hello This is just a guess if you are using P3D v3 Check the airport BGL with ADE and make sure the Draw Surface Flag and Draw Detail are set for Taxi paths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryisenor Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Not sure this will work but you have duplicate files for CEF3. If you go into the ORBX/FTX_GLOBAL/FTX_GLOBAL_AIRPORTS/Scenery file and delete 2 files: ADE_FTX_FTXG_CEF3.bgl and ADE_FTX_FTXG_CEF3_CVL.bgl files this may help fix the problem. If it still persists let me know and I will recompile for the next update. This should also remove the bush on the apron. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Ramon for your advise! I'll try it. 20 hours ago, larryisenor said: Not sure this will work but you have duplicate files for CEF3.

Larry Hi Larry, I already deleted these two duplicate files earlier when I saw the topic about the bush on the apron. So this is not the cause. For testing purpose I now exchanged the two ADEX files with the older ADE files I deleted earlier and will tell you if it makes a difference. Greetings!

Bermuda425 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Tested it now. The bush and the disappearing asphalt aren't matter of duplicate files. With the older ADE files, the bush is present and asphalt disappears (see screenshot below). Without older ADE files, but with ADEX files instead, the bush is gone and only asphalt disappears. I couldn't check what Ramon suggested, because I don't get the file to open? Also, in this screenshot post of mine, you can see that the bush is gone when using the ADEX files. Anyway, the asphalt disappears only when being close enough, which is why it can be seen it the shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryisenor Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 It does look like a P3D compile problem so I will recompile the flle for P3D and send it with the next updates (Neil says about mid March).Let me know if you find any more of these in your travels. Some of the early airports were not compiled for P3D and this usually causes the missing taxiways. It's easy to fix but there is no indication in the file if they were done or not.

Larry Hi Larry, I think I found another one, but it's not as obvious. CAP9 Appleton Field has disappearing textures at the beginning of runway 33. However, I only saw them when taxiing close enough to the end of this runway, while for example on approach I didn't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryisenor Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I'll recompile this one too to see if it fixes the problem. Larry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bermuda425 Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Hi Larry, checked out Camp Wainwright today. Boah!! Tanks, fires, forces bases - awesome! But I also discovered a disappearing texture at Camp Wainwright: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryisenor Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Is the asphalt apron by the hanger ok. The problem usually only affects taxiways but maybe I can reset for the next update to see if that fixes it. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bermuda425 Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 You mean the asphalt apron in shot 2, right? In shot 2 I can see it, but when moving slightly to the right, everything disappears so it looks like in shot 3. Only meadow and road remain. You can also see it in the 4th shot in this screenshot topic, where I fly next to the helicopters: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bermuda425 Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Now I know what apron you mean Larry. It doesn't show up, as you can see that the road in shot 1 ends in a meadow. I depends on the viewpoint, for example in this shot everything is visible: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryisenor Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 It's kind of strange. Sometimes taxiways don't show in P3D but aprons are usually OK. I'll reset the draw flags and see if this helps. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bermuda425 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Hi Larry, at Viking Airport, AB textures disappeared when getting close to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryisenor Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Definitely something happening in p3d. I'm going to check with some of the other designers to see if we can find a solution. I've never seen the runways disappear. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bermuda425 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Alright. This issue is the same for all places reported here: When there is something disappearing, then everything from apron to taxiways to runway Greetings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
