tigermothpilot Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I'm having quite a problem with Old Warden, as can be seen by the screenshot. I've run the auto elevation correction in Vector, uninstalled and reinstalled Old Warden to no avail. I have all the True Earth GB, as well as Global Base and Vector. As part of the uninstall and reinstall, I also verified the file. UK2000 VFR Airfields Vol 2 is installed, with Old Warden switched off. I think the problem might be related to True Earth GB, as Old Warden has been fine up until now. I hope someone can help! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very well possible that this will not suffice but I cannot tell for sure because I don't have the UK2000 VFR Airfields here. ORBX's Old Warden comes with the following files in the folder scenery\World\scenery to adjust the airport's elevation: 000_EGTH_FTX_Exclude_ALT.BGL EGTH_ADEX_GRJ_ALT.BGL It's possible there are other elevation changing files from the UK2000 package. Just a hint. Bests, Sascha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Try it without 000_EGTH_FTX_Exclude_ALT.BGL please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigermothpilot Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Found it, but unfortunately it didn't seem to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Thanks. I have Old Warden installed and UK 2000 also with its version switched off and see no underground. However, please take a look at the EGTH files in TEGB and if they are disabled, try enabling them please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigermothpilot Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Nick, Silly question I know, but where do I find TEGB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigermothpilot Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Found it. I'll report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigermothpilot Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Unfortunately, it's still the same. The craters have gone, but there is still underground. When it loads, and the scenery appears after about 80% it looks good, and then, right at the end, when it's finished loading, there's a white, shimmering, almost like snow, and then it all goes downhill.

flying_fish Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Whatever is causing it I think you win the prize for the worst elevation problem so far this year. We should have a sub forum with prizes! Good luck sorting it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigermothpilot Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 I was wrong about the craters. They're still there. Here's a screenshot of it immediately before it finishes loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hello, these are very nice screen shots of your aircraft but could you perhaps show how the airport looks please? I think that all scenery looks something like this before it is loaded. I am so far unable to replicate this at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigermothpilot Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Sorry Nick, I'll attempt a better shot. I was trying to give some sort of perspective to the whole thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hello, as Sascha suggested, I have managed to replicate your problem by the simple method of having both the Orbx and the UK 2000 airport active at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigermothpilot Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Nick, That was the first thing I checked. And, I even went looking for the files to make sure, but I couldn't find any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigermothpilot Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 I'll uninstall the UK2000, see what happens, and then see where I go from there. Thank you for all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I can find no other way of replicating the error. I also have the UK 2000 version apparently inactive. There is no need at all to uninstall anything at this point. You can disable UK 2000 just by unticking its scenery library entries. Old Warden is in Volume 2, so start with that and see if the problem is still there. If it is, keep unticking them one by one until it goes away.

tigermothpilot Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Well, It wasn't in the Scenery Library, it was in the P3Dv4 Add-ons folder. So, I uninstalled it, and, prior to reinstalling it into the main P3Dv4 directory, I ran the sim, and all was well. I then reinstalled UK VFR V2 into the main folder, turned off Old Warden, and the problem immediately reappeared! So, I'm stumped. At least now, if I do want to fly from Old Warden, I can turn off the UK2000 airfields, but, obviously can't land at any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hello, even if the scenery is installed into an outside library, there is no need to uninstall it at all. Instead of the scenery library, that scenery can be easily unticked in the add-ons menu and just like the scenery library, it will be completely disabled after the scenery is redrawn. It looks to me as if there is still an active file in UK2000 VFR Airfields Volume2\scenery, even after disabling EGTH in the UK 2000 control panel. Try renaming EGTH_AFX_UK2.bgl to EGTH_AFX_UK2.bgx You should then have all your volume 2 airports active but see the Orbx EGTH as intended.

tigermothpilot Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Nick, That did it! Thank you. I totally understand about not needing to uninstall, but I was a little unsure how to do it, and was reluctant to keep asking. I also thought there must have been an active file, but had no idea at all where it was. It's your expertise that we all appreciate so much, so thank you again. May I upload one last "nice screen shot of my aircraft"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
