mauiguy Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 KHAF runway surface is dirt instead of tarmac. Looking from outside view (shift-S), aircraft bounces along and rocks fly up from the wheels. Once I hit a taxiway, all is good. I have re-installed twice with the same result. I am also using ORBX Northern California and have no other sceneries in the KHAF area.

ftxpolo Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 You could try try this trick : " ..... Please set your "Mesh resolution" to 5m. I would also recommend you increase your "Texture resolution" to at least 30cm, your "Level of Detail radius" to Large, your "Mesh complexity" to 100, and your "Scenery complexity" to Extremely Dense. Ifyou open the user guide from the FTX Central - KHAF page, you will find some pictures near the bottom with therecommended settings (on page 10).

mauiguy Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Thank you for such a quick reply. I just fired up FSX and checked my settings, and they are exactly as directed. Still kicking up rocks on the runway. Taxiways are fine. Flew to San Carlos (ORBX scenery also) and it is also just fine. This is the only airport I have ever experienced this problem. Thanks again for helping. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftxpolo Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Ok, my pleasure Let's see.... please try a reinstall, but before check for another KHAF freeware addon previously install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauiguy Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Did a search for "KHAF" files. Found one file that was not ORBX and deleted it. Reinstalled KHAF but still no difference. It's not worth the effort to track this down, I think I'll just live with it. Thought there might be a simple fix, but apparently not. Thanks again for helping.

Nick Cooper Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Hello, I have looked at this in FSX and P3D v4.3 and cannot replicate it in either. Whether objectflow is active or not appears to make no difference. Another KHAF add-on's file remains the most likely suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Have you searched the Scenery\World\Scenery folder? And also your entire FSX or P3D folder for a Half or a Moon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro VH-JET Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Hi Doug & Nick, Thinking a little outside the box, is the OP is using SP1 & SP2 or Acceleration. I have seen this from other users of FSX:MS where they have SP1 & SP2 and don't use Acceleration Pack which does not have this problem, something to do with minimum runway width in with FSX SP2 where some underlying default runways are not hardened and kickup rocks and dirt. The trick is to reset the default runway width in ADE to match the PR runway overlay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick is to reset the default runway width in ADE to match the PR runway overlay. Jeff's advice here may be spot on. My FSX (before I switched to P3D 4) was at SP2 level (I never purchased Acceleration) and a number of sealed runways in non default scenery behaved like they were unsealed (ie kicked up dirt etc). I noticed this particularly in many of the later OZx airports. Eventually it was tracked down to what Jeff pointed out - the issue of minimum runway width in FSX SP2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Thanks Jeff, in case mauiguy returns, I have increased the runway width and attach the file. Back up the original before using this one. ORBX_KHAF_APX.bgl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauiguy Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 Aloha from Maui, Hawaii Nick ~ Just downloaded the file and installed. Ran a test flight at KHAF and all is perfect!! Thank you so much for all of the efforts made on my behalf. It is a joy to be part of such a helpful and caring community. Gary 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glj Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Thank you for the reply. I tried downloading several times. It keeps saying the page does not exist. I'm kinda surprised it's still an issue since I just re-installed the scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORBX_KHAF_APX.bgl 7.87 kB · 1 download Hi NIck, I downloaded the above file but it's a problem again. The KHAF airport issue was I think resolved early last year before I uninstalled P3D, and it only started being an issue again after I re-installed P3D and KHAF, and is now an issue again even after replacing the ORBX_KHAF_APX.bgl file you provided above. I backed up the old file by renaming it _ORBX_KHAF_APX.bak. I'm using version P3D v4.5.14.34698, True Earth Northern California, and the KHAF installers which I downloaded last month. Please advise. Thank you. George Edit (additional info), after replacing the ORBX_KHAF_APX.bgl file, the rocks appear in the first 10-20(?) feet of runway 30, disappears on take-off, but re-appears in the last half of runway 30 (when landing on the runway or if you taxi till the end of the runway). Weird. Edited January 27, 2022 by glj Additional info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
