active Diamond Head Mesh Problem

[Bert Groner]

Gentlemen, good day!

 

Thanks to Frank and Holger for bringing a paradise on earth into P3D v4: Honolulu...

 

At a first visit there I saw a mesh problem at Diamond Head: Depending on the angle and distance there is a kind of "Mesh Pumping" burying the buildings inside the crater (total or partly). The result is a very different view compared to the pictures on the Honolulu page here. I've tried different mesh resolutions (5, 2 and 1 meters) without any changes.

 

In use is P3D v4.5 with the Hotfix, all Orbx products and FSDT's PHNL. Mesh is provided by FS Global 2010. No other hawaiian scenery installed and/or active.

 

Is there a solution for that?

 

Thanks for your help in advance!

Bert

I use Pilots Mesh 2010 and I didn't see this at all as flew over the crater several times.  So can't help you on this.

[Bert Groner]

Thanks John... Lucky man ;-)

[John Dow]

The sim only uses the highest res mesh available.  That would indicate that your sim is finding mesh that overrides the Pilots mesh from somewhere.  Have you ever had any Hawaiian scenery? If so it might have left some residual mesh in your folders.  Often the quickest way to check is to use a scenery config editor to untick all scenery layers not specifically required for a flight around Hawaii.  And check the World Scenery Scenery folder for any ADE files etc that might relate to a scenery in Hawaii.

Could it be Dreamteam?  Have you disabled it in the scenery library to see if it makes a difference?

[Bert Groner]

Good idea - will try, Jack!

Hello all!

 

It's there with and without FSDT's PHNL. I followed Holgers advice...

 

 

...by deactivating the named three files inside PHNL's scenery folder.

 

Though it's not big thing I hope that one of the dev's will read this post and has an idea.

 

Thanks a lot to you both!

To me it looks rather like an orphaned rectangular flatten than a mesh issue. If this should be the case, there must be another addon or perhaps remnants of it.

Bert, is that "sink hole" always square / rectangular and only inside the crater?

[Bert Groner]

Hi Frank, thanks for jumping in!

 

This "hole" is always square/retangular (often looking as combined-shifted squares showing steps) and only inside the crater with some morphing of the outside part at the tunnel as the entrance to Diamond Head. Everything else seems to be stable.

 

I've searched the P3D folder and C:\...\Documents\Prepar3D Add Ons for "*PHNL*" and "*hono*": Nothing.

 

And I've deactived

 

...Scenery\OCEN\Honolulu.bgl and ...\ohau.bgl

...Scenery\World\FSDT_PHNL_Alt.bgl

 

without a change to this phenomenon. And again I deinstalled PHNL. No change.

Thanks a lot - have a great weekend!

...another information for that case: I've deactivaed the file from FS Global 2010 which provides the mesh to this area

 

FSGX2010\NAM\scenery\DX006024.bgl

 

as well with no change to the situation.

 

Kind regards!
