Pilot Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Hi all, Today, I did a flight to Amsterdam and realised that there is land over water bodies. I paste a top down screenshot to show the problem. I tried to disable PILOT's mesh but this did not solve the problem. I have FlyTampa EHAM installed as per ORBX compatibility instructions. Any idea what is wrong or how to fix that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Hi Pilot. Think a lower shot would be better to actually show where there’s land where water should be and plus show the coordinates would help. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Hello, I zoomed in and marked the problematic areas. You can see that it is a uniform green land, where there should be water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Hi there, it looks like something is excluding the water polygons for those areas. Given that adjacent rivers and lakes display correctly it doesn't appear to be a general issue with the TE Netherlands installation. Do you have third-party add-ons active above the Orbx block that may contain local water exclude files? Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Hi Holger and thank you very much for your reply. The only third-party add-on that I have in the area is FlyTampa EHAM which I have installed according to your instructions and compatibility files. I really don't have any other add-on in the Netherlands. I will try to re-install TE Netherlands and report back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 No, reinstalling TE Netherlands, after many hours..did nothing to fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hi Pilot, perhaps post a copy of your active scenery.cfg and terrain.cfg files, both located in C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hi Holger Profiting this post I would like to ask about my post made long ago and which is unsolved yet. I don't have missing water bodies, but strange water textures. Any ideas? I also have Fly Tampa and installed it according to your instructions too. All works fine except this issue. Thank you!

Holger Sandmann Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Hi Pilot, I'm not seeing anything obvious that would explain the issue. Your terrain.cfg file has the correct custom entries for the water polygons and the scenery library doesn't show any "suspicious" entries either. I'd still test whether any of the non-Orbx add-ons at higher display priority are involved. You can either manually uncheck them in the menu or, the quicker option, temporarily move the insertion point tool setting back to "at the top of the scenery library". Doing this would allow you to exclude or confirm third-party influence on the problem. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 Thank you for the reply again Holger. I tried the second solution but the problem remains. However its because my add-on.xml entries are always on top. I will try to disable them one by one to see if it goes away and report back if I find the solution.

Pilot Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Finally after hours of enabling/disabling and reloading Prepar3D, I found that the problem was created from a 3rd party addon airport which was not P3Dv4 compatible but I had added manually. Now I learned to be more cautious when adding non p3dv4 compatible sceneries. Again, thank you very much Holger for pointing me to the right direction and for taking the time to inspect my files. I am very grateful and really appreciate your support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
