Waughzup Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I just downloaded and installed True Earth Oregon HD and I am having some issues at my home base here in Central Oregon. One of the busiest airports in Oregon is KBDN, but the terrain, trees etc don't seem very well done for TE HD. And the main issue is that the airport itself has a giant drop off from the taxi way down to the runway. Can you please fix it so I can enjoy this new scenery? And maybe add some 3D trees around the Bend airport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradB Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Welcome to the forum mate , well I see the same thing : I"m sure someone from the Orbx team will note this and suggest a fix for it . Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Hello, like all other TE products for X Plane 11, there are no airports included. I understand that this is to do with Laminar Research's own rules and that you might find a better version at "the org". This is covered in much more detail on page 5 of the User Guide.

Ken Schreiner Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Hi guys, I had to "flatten" KBDN when I used Ortho so now it works fine with Orbx OR. There are plenty of threads on how to flatten scenery on the .org Ortho forum. Easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconAF Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 64S Prospect Lake southwest of Crater Lake is another one that needs flattening (or something). You need a chainsaw to use the runway. Then it's a hop-skip-jump over the road next to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of threads on how to flatten scenery on the .org Ortho forum. Easy. Hi Ken. Please enlighten us as to how you flattened KBDN and was it the default version of KBDN or an addon version? I have tried flattening the default version via Resources/default scenery/default apt dat but still get the big drop on the taxiway. I used the method of adding the line " 1302 flatten 1" The Gateway version always reports an error when trying to save the "flattened" version so i gave up on that one. I would greatly appreciate it if you would respond and even maybe share your version as this is a Laminar problem and not an Orbx one as Orbx don't do any airports included Orbx airports in their TE series. We could all then at least have a decent looking and usable KBDN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 @Waughzup@BradB OK I have attached a version of KBDN that is flattened and works well. Unzip the attachment and place into your Custom Scenery. @FalconAF I will take a look at 64S as well. KBDN_Scenery_Pack.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Clarke Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 @FalconAF Just had a look at 64S and it looks well beyond my fixing capabilities !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Schreiner Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hi @jjaycee1! I didn't use the Gateway stuff, I just navigated to the apt dat file in Global Airports and searched kbdn in order to add the "flatten" line and saved it. Worked like a charm. I'm no expert but I've been messing with computer stuff since the Commodore days (yes, I'm that old) and just kind of muddle through until I find a solution (or give up...LOL!)

As you can see I fixed it already. I was missing a stage in the flattening process but got that sorted. Thanks for replying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
