Ken Terry Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 Nick, it is not an FPS issue my FPS was running at 50 at the time of the flight over Norway. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Terry Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 Ok I went to ORBX Central and verified the files of Norway. No improvement, here is land west of ENML Any further suggestions as to a fix? Thanks Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Terry Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 To my problem of black and blue terrain in Norway, see earlier post. Thanks Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Hi Ken I have merged your topics, no need to start a new one. Maybe try a "Verify Files" of your Open LC Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Terry Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Thanks Doug, I did the Verify files for Open LC Europe as you suggested and no change, here is the picture five minutes ago Any further ideas? Cheers Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Hi Ken Is your Norway installed into the simulator root folder, or did you migrate or install it outside the simulator via the .xml method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Terry Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Doug, it is in the root folder, here is part of it. Thanks Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Thanks Then could you Please post a copy of your “scenery.cfg” file found at C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Sawatzky Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Thanks Ken I see nothing wrong with your scenery.cfg....sorry I am out of ideas for now, other than maybe try a full uninstall and reinstall of Norway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Terry Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 Doug, I had come to the same conclusion, uninstall and reinstall. Will try that Cheers Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Terry Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 Doug no luck with the reinstall, here is the screenshot Any wise words from your expert team? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Terry Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 Doug, some further information. Most of Norway is fine and looks like this. This a valley about ten miles west of ENNO Notroden Then all of a sudden in the same area I see this I re loaded my scenery library - no difference. I tried various seasons winter, summer etc. no difference. Here is my Summer approach from the south to ENML Pity it spoils the experience of low level flying. Any further thoughts as to a solution.

Ken Terry Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 A Google search "P3D Black Terrain" sent me to AVSIM and this comment from a reader In FTXCentral, near the bottom of the Settings page in the Tools section (you may have to scroll down off the first page in Settings), there is an option to force a remigration of the unified lclookup--I would try doing that. The FTX regional products use a custom landclass map and some custom landclass texture files, and if that is boogered up, you'll see black tiles. I cannot see a Force remigration on my Settings page of ORBX Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Hello Ken, FTX Central and Orbx Central are not the same thing and therefore that advice is not relevant to you. Efforts to persuade customers to give the two utilities their correct names have met with variable levels of success. Possibly @Holger Sandmann will be able to give you some useful advice on this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Terry Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 Thanks Nick, would you kindly direct this problem to Holger. Thanks Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holger Sandmann Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Hi Ken, it does look like an installation problem to me (even the screenshot that supposedly is "fine" shows some problem spots). One way to exclude that it's an issue with an incompatible third-party add-on is to temporarily move the four FTX Norway entries to the top of your scenery library menu (while maintaining their correct numerical order) or else uncheck every non-Orbx item active above the Orbx/FTX block. Your first post states "suddenly I have"... What happened before 'suddenly'? Also, do you see any similar issues in FTX Germany or the UK? Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Terry Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 Holger,, thanks, England is OK I tried to move the NOR entries to the top of my scenery list but it would not let me move above the first ORBX insertion point. Also all the check marks on added scenery are grey and I cannot delete them by unticking. Suddenly was a bad choice of words, the fault was always there i came across it when I flew over a hill.

Ken Terry Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Germany is not Ok many black terrain patches see picture. Clearly there is an add-on that is causing the problem. Should I try an ORBX Insertion point at the very top of my scenery library? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Hello Ken, are you using the add-ons method with all your scenery in an Orbx Central library and outside your P3D folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Terry Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Hi Nick, all addons are in the same library. I believe the culprit might be a recent purchase of Moscow but I can't click it off to see My tick marks are grey and inactive see below. As you can see Moscow is there but the delete option is grey. Further down my Scenery library I see this Here you can see I can delete some addons, in fact I did delete Tivat which was also a recent purchase but that did not improve my black and blue patches. How can I get the greyed out addons to highlight so I can delete Moscow? Or is there another way to delete Moscow perhaps by a Sdit of the Scenery config? Thanks Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Hello Ken, all those greyed out products are installed using the add-ons system. You can access the add-ons menu either in the "scenario" window or the in-game Options\Add-ons menu and untick them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Terry Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Thanks Nick, found the addon menu and deleted Moscow, no difference. I also deleted some other recent addons no difference. I guess I will just have to work at it over the next few days to discover which scenery is causing the fault. May take many trials but I have time.

Stewart Hobson Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 There was a suggestion elsewhere relating to the new Honolulu Cityscape that perhaps the Godzone entry might be causing these black patches. Far fetched, but worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Terry Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 Nick, I moved the "Insertion Point" for ORBX scenery to the top of the list and that fixed Norway. see picture. It is not in my Add-on scenery so I am now working thru the other scenery Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Terry Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 Nick, Holger, hooray fixed the fault. It turns out that none of my scenery or add-on scenery is at fault, the problem was me and my incorrect work on Orbx Central What I had done is put the Orbx Airports and Regions under Aspen as the Insertion Point and I also put Orbx Global Open LC under Aspen. When I changed the Orbx Global Open LC to be under Orbx Airports and Regions everything worked fine, no more black and blue terrain. Everyday we learn something new. Thanks for staying with me on this problem. Cheers Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
