Peter w Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Hi, Has anyone ever noticed this? The river Kaitumälven south of Kiruna, sinks for a few kilometers in a 'canyon'. To the west and to the east of it, it runs perfectly, and the lakes around also have the right elevation. I checked it with different meshes, they had no influence on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro VH-JET Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Hello Peter, I have the same mesh issue, using default scenery for the area. I am using FSX default with FTXGlobal base texture enhancement with FreeMeshX, though I don't know wether FMX covers this area with higher resolution mesh. Quite a few mesh anomalies in this area raised lakes, trenches and potholes. I wonder if FTXVector + OLC_EU and Pilots 2010 Mesh has a better representation for the river and lakes. I would think perhaps yes, but maybe staff can confirm if you need to configure vector or your scenery library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter w Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 Hi Jeff, thank you for testing, I use FSX + Global Base + LC Europe + Vector. Unfortunately, I don't have FsGlobal 2010, but I tested it with FsGlobal 2018 and FreeMeshX, it didn't make any difference. Regards Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth78 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Is the elevation of the river 0? If so this might be an easy fix in SBX builder - import the CVX, change the poly type to a "no flatten" and exclude the "default" Vector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Peter Try these files - they fixed it on mine. Place them somewhere in your scenery library above the Vector entries. Let me know if you still notice any potholes along this section of river.

I flew the kaitum river a bit further westbound, and found another canyon, but not that big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro VH-JET Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Just saying thankyou Sabretooth78, although the corrections you've made are for Vector & OLC_EU, they also seem to work to some degree for default FSX. While the canyon is now flattened in the area of the pictures, what I notice is the default shorelines mismatch, (they don't really bother me because FSX has always had these, although conforming more to the default shoreline shape). Vector shoreline and river course would be more in line with reality and your elevation adjusted .bgl's. To the SouthEast the flattens work well, but to the West there are still some canyons, there is also one section where the river shorelines are traced but with no water. Some elevated lakes in the vicinity but I guess having Vector would correct many of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth78 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Here is an updated file that carries the fix farther to the west - OK to overwrite the previous version. CVX_5307_SBX_CMS.BGL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro VH-JET Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Thankyou Sabretooth78, New file works perfectly, no canyons to be seen SthEast or West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
