BernieFlyer Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I reported this elsewhere but that post was resolved so this has probably been missed. TigerTigerM reported wheels sunk at Gisborne and I went to look and mine are too. At the piano keys on 32. The wheels drop and rise when moving on the runway as well. Also note no shadow on the tarmac. The shadow on tarmac issue is not just at Gisborne either however, it is not an issue at many other airports eg YMLT is fine. Also note that the shadow is fine on the grass runways at Gisborne. When taking off on 32 the spraying dirt effect appears despite the runway being sealed.

Nick Cooper Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Hello, the only aspect of your report that I can replicate is that the wheels are very slightly sunken into the runway. I do see an aircraft shadow and I do not see dust thrown up on the tarmac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernieFlyer Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Fair enough Nick but obviously some of us do. It is a tricky one in that I only have ORBX NI and FTX Gisborne involved as I suspect does TigerTigerM. Any further ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Hello, I maintain a copy of FSX and P3D v4 with only Orbx products installed. The screen shots I have shown you are with only these products active: NZNI NZSI NZGS Orbx Libraries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernieFlyer Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Hi Nick, Well from your evidence I must have something outside of FTX causing this. I do not have any other NZGS but there may be something in VLC (Vector Landclass) or something causing a minor conflict with elevation. I shall search onwards. thanks Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Hi Bernie For the shadows issue, please check your P3D shadow settings, mine are as in the below image and if I uncheck the "Simulation Objects" Receive, I get the same result you are showing.

BernieFlyer Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Hi Doug and Nick Yes, you are correct Doug. So shadows fixed! I managed to sort the dust throwing up too by turning off the cvx .bgl in NZGS or the LCpoly for Gisborne in the FTX_NZNI_06_CVX/Scenery folder. There must have been a minor clash between them. Now the wheels on Rwy 32 are sunk only up to the railway crossing then I have them the way Nick shows ie only a tiny bit sunk. Nick did not show a picture of the Rwy 32 piano keys which still seems problematic but can be lived with. Thanks Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernieFlyer Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Further to the above Whangarei has no shadows on the hard rwy surface (Rwy 06) even with the shadow receive setting. It does fix Gisborne but not Whangarei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BernieFlyer Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 I give in. It is not that bad but just a mystery to me. Mind you your tyres are not on the surface (especially noticeable on the starboard gear) but in it however, mine is worse. Lets just put it in the too hard tray!! Funny about Whangerai as well.
