Shouldn't it be higher up in the list? Does this add-on only work for autogen areas? Will it improve any TrueEarth locations? I took a few before and after screenshots over my usual practice area (with the TerraFloraXP entry just under EGLH_Needles) in the TE GB Central location and there was zero difference.

SimFlyer15 Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Thanks! Quote It does nothing to the TE regions, these already have it From the TerraFlora page: Quote Seamless blending with TerraFlora textures included in Orbx TrueEarth and airports It reads like it is blending TF stuff into TE stuff and airports. I guess the wording could be clearer. Can you please confirm if the .ini order is correct or if it should be placed higher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few changes in the layering i would suggest so attach your scenery_packs.ini and I will make the changes for you. Regarding the lack of difference in the trees in TEGB areas is because the TE series of addons already contain Terra Flora trees. The placement of Terra Flora in the scenery pack is fine and the changes in trees would be more noticeable in your case in default scenery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimFlyer15 Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Thank you! Can you explain what you've done and why? So that I can look out for these changes as I add more scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Certainly. I am glad you asked because I would estimate a good 60-80% of anomalies are caused by inaccurately layered addons in the scenery pack. You need to follow the basic logic of how XP and indeed the real world is structured as far as layering is concerned. You build you XP world like the real world from bottom upwards.So from top down as far as the scenery pack is concerned should go like this: 1. 3rd party airport addons. reason, so that they are seen right at the top of the scenery and no aspect can be over ridden by another part of a scenery or mesh., 2,Global Airports. reason, so these airports don't sit higher than a 3rd party airport and mask it. 3. If using Orbx TE series addons, then they should be placed directly under and in their Custom/Overlay/Ortho file sequence. The exception to this is if you have TEGB South and want the London Landmarks to be displayed correctly then the XP file of London Landmarks needs to be directly under Global Airports followed immediately by the TEGB addons. 4. The additional XP Landmarks files. Reason, so that they will be displayed above any other scenery like Default and Ortho4xp. 5. Scenery enhancers like X-Europe, SFD Global, City Scapes designed to enhance Default scenery. 6. Although can be placed anywhere I tend to keep them all in one place= Libraries 7. World wide coverage Mesh like HD and UHD Mesh. Not mesh that may come with an airport addon as that mesh has a minor coverage in around that airport and not the whole country like HD Mesh would. So in your case I layered the files more or less as I have explained above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 3. should read: 3. If using Orbx TE series addons, then they should be placed directly under Global Airports and in their Custom/Overlay/Ortho file sequence. The exception to this is if you have TEGB South and want the London Landmarks to be displayed correctly then the XP file of London Landmarks needs to be directly under Global Airports followed immediately by the TEGB addons.
