Jack Sawyer Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Hi @Maurizio Giorgi, I first tried both steps in the John Dow post but P3D would freeze at 6% loading or CTD. So I then reinstalled those files he said to take out and then it worked, so effectively all I did was to add .OFF to one bgl. So here's a bunch of shots, since I've never been there can you tell me if it now looks correct? Thanks Maurizio, I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John Thanks John, I posted one more with the "Dude" but he's so hard to control, Roger has been helping me but I think there's a Saitek conflict. I really wish I could control this clown too because he would help a lot in my comics. But all he does is spin so fast my monitor gets dizzy!

That's a nice link, #3, fancy that. Gosh, I'd love to go there, maybe someday. Hopefully. 28 minutes ago, BradB said: If I know the "Dude" correctly , he won't shy away from any stunt that you tell him to do . John Would that were true John. He's intractable, I simply cannot get him to stop spinning like a top. I've removed all physical assignments from him, no Saitek controls at all yet he still moves when I move the mixture and then he spins like a whirling dervish. If I could get it to work I'd be one happy camper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulb Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Hi Jack, Looking good! I followed the post but did not delete the files. I only changed the one BGL to OFF. That change had the desired effect of putting autogen on what were 'empty fields' alongside ANZAC Parade. Everything else looked fine apart from my 'double decker' at Capitol Hill. Yours seems OK. I will have to have another look at mine. Did you run the vector tool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurizio Giorgi Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Wow Jack, yes, i don't find nothing wrong now, super shots!!! It's common that when two photoreal sceneries cover the same area or they share a boundaries, there is an autogen suppresion for the scenery lower in priority in the scenery library. The only way to fix this, is to copy the autogen of the cityscape into YSCB texture folder, or in alternative to delete the photoreal bgl in the YSCB scenery folder. I don't know why the simulatr freezed after John Dow's solution, because according to me it's correct, we discussed togheter about that solution.

Thanks Paul, been following your posts and I'm sorry it's not working out for you. What I did first was print out John Dow's post. Then I renamed the one bgl to .bgl.OFF and I deleted the files he said were duplicated, and they were duplicated because I looked. But I saved them on the desktop. Ran Vector then ran. P3D and it wouldn't load past 6% and even CTD a few times so I replaced the files and kept the .OFF on the bgl file. And now it works. 2 hours ago, Maurizio Giorgi said: Wow Jack, yes, i don't find nothing wrong now, super shots!!!

Maurizio Giorgi Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Ok, from memory i remember that the Parliament issue is caused by Vector that makes a flat file not to work properly. You have to rename a Vector file .off Here is the post I tested the scenery in P3D V4 without Vector installed, and the Parliament looks correctly anchored to the ground So All that you need to do is to navigate in P3D...\ORBX\FTX_VECTOR\FTX_VECTOR_EXX and rename the 8744_EXX_Excludes.bgl in 8744_EXX_Excludes.bgl.off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
