Pilot Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Hi all, I just bought the beautiful Squamish scenery to install in my PNW. I have a problem on the airport, where I see walls (elevated terrain) ~2-3 meters high, left and right of the runway but also on the parking area. I figured the elevation issue is caused by my FS Global Ultimate NextGen mesh scenery. I tried the automatic vector tool but with no success. I could eliminate the problem only by deactivating FS Global mesh scenery from the scenery library. My question is: Is there any way to make the mesh scenery compatible? Maybe some files to deactivate? I ask cause it would be annoying to have to deactivate it every time I fly to Squamish. Besides, I'm thinking maybe the mesh is creating other problems that I haven't seen yet? Any suggestion to make them work well together would be very much appreciated!

Jon Clarke Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 It could be caused by having 2 copies of CYSE installed. There is an enhanced copy of CYSE within the PNW scenery folder and you have added a further more detailed addon. You could try and search for CYSE in the PNW scenery folder and turn the bgls found to .OFF See if that works. Also ensuring that your addon CYSE is above the PNW region in the scenery library. It should already be correctly located in the scenery as Central would have installed it to where it should be placed. I will let the Nicks of Orbx world assist further if that is not a resolution.

Pilot Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Hello, thank you very much for your message. I tried to both switch off CYSE .bgls in the PNW scenery folder and make sure that CYSE is above PNW, which it was. These did not solve the problem. Because my problem is caused by FS Global Ultimate mesh, it should be something else.. Again, thank you for your reply. If Nick could assist, I would be very glad : ) I attach some screenshots, the first is using FS Global Ultimate and the second one is with it deactivated.

Smudger Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Hello Ifikratis , If you have registered your FS Global Ultimate with Pilots, you are entitled to download their AFM2 RC2 from their website. It is their version of Vector ADE, to correct airport elevations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried that, unfortunately while it seems to fix the "walls" problem, I get a layering issue, as I lose vegetation and ground details.

Smudger Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Yes, I can see that, strange, now I am stumped, a lot of vegetation missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Anyone maybe using FS Global Ultimate and ORBX Squamish? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudger Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Maybe the AFM2 RC2 correction is not too far out. Google Earth Squamish airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hi there, the AFM tool simply creates a local mesh plug with a linear slope in all directions around the airport area, for about 1km or so. It's "dumb" in that is has no awareness of the local terrain and the one at Squamish airport is rather complex and thus it probably can't provide a suitable solution. Assuming you have PNW installed then you can safely deactivate the overlapping Global mesh files. The QMID7 grid cells for this area are 14x14 and 15x14, thus the Global file names are probably "DX014014.BGL" and "DX015014.BGL". Search for those files in your PILOTS' Global mesh scenery folders and then change their extension from .bgl to .off or similar.

Pilot Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Dear Holger, Thank you very much for your help and great support. It fixed my problem !!! : ) Thank you also for the link so I can do it in the future for other locations I may encounter elevation issues with FS Global Ultimate.
