tomvid Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hi, Directly on the western edge of Dartmoor in south west England (for the avoidance of confusion it's the dark green square patch just right of centre shot) there is a large square block of forestry landclass that does not exist at all in real life. Just one other thing. The runway in Guernsey slopes down from east to west in real life, 303 feet elevation at the west end and 334 at the east end but it is flat in the sim.

tomvid Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Another note: there's a lighthouse just south west of Guernsey called the Hanois lighthouse that is missing. It's quite an important and well known landmark so would be good to have added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying_fish Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hi Tomvid, Yes, you are right. This area is on my home patch, in fact under the flight path of my first solo as a student pilot! As you may have read elsewhere in the forums Orbx land-class places tiles in approximate relation to the expected scenery, and therefore if you are used to flying over this area vfr you'll see that although Tavistock town (to the immediate south of the 'forest' is more or less accurately placed, with the river Dart correctly snaking through it thanks to Orbx vector, there are anomalies like the golf course; the factory block spanning the river etc etc. To achieve a reasonable level of realism over the whole country (nay continent) this is the compromise. Its so much better than default however! You might like to read John Venema's Orbx 2018 Roadmap post in the general discussion section - sounds like you would enjoy the photoreal package in development! Some Orbx runways are sloped, using some clever alchemy by the devs, but EGJJ is not one of them. I'm sure someone will add the POI lighthouse to a list of requests for the future.

Holger Sandmann Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hi guys, I can confirm the issue with the incorrect square landclass polygon and have notified the developer in charge of the source files. Thanks for the heads-up! Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hi Gents, Brentor was messing the area. As there is no more SP for England, here's the fix. Just paste and replace it into \ORBX\FTX_EU\FTX_EU_ENG_05_SCENERY\scenery from the root directory. Let me know if it's fine for you. cvxSP005_01.BGL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flying_fish Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Hmmm, a sink hole has appeared just off the end of runway 26 EGTE, Other 'ponds' display OK. Could this be connected or another issue? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundancer Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 In FTX England it looks normal, which means no sinkhole but a normal blue pool of water. (FSX SP1+2) Regards Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying_fish Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Could be caused by the interface of UK2000 EGTE and FTX England then. Thanks for checking it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
