Megadyptes Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I'm having this weird issue where the elevation on Burhou is all messed up (The small island just to the north of Alderney) The coast of the island appears to be fine but the interior is at sea level which isn't the case in reality as seen in these photos I don't have any custom elevation meshes installed, just Orbx stuff and a few custom airports that are nowhere near this part of the world. Is this a problem at my end or with the product itself? Some pics of what I'm seeing: Or maybe its the coastline that's too steep? I'm not sure.

BernieFlyer Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Mine is exactly the same so it appears to be the way it is in the scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiletto2 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Unfortunately, my pic below looks correct which means you might have some type of 3rd party global mesh interfering with the Orbx Alderney mesh. Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadyptes Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 OK this is weird. The only non-Orbx scenery I have installed is UK2000 Bristol Airport which I very much doubted would cause problems but to make sure I disabled it and nope, problem still there. So that just left the Orbx scenery. I disabled everything apart from Alderney and the elevation was correct just like in stiletto2's screenshot. I then re-enabled everything one by one until I found the culprit: the Orbx EU England region. When I enable it I get the problem shown in my first post screenshots. I looked at my scenery layers and saw that for some reason there were two entries; FTX_EU_ENG_05_SCENERY Orbx EU Wales and FTX_EU_ENG_05_SCENERY Orbx EU Scotland placed right at the top for some reason. I moved them manually down to the rest of the FTX Region entries but the problem didn't go away. I tried verifying both EU England and EGJA Alderney and also using Sync Simulator option in Help but that didn't fix it either. I Messed about with my Mesh and Tesselation settings and no joy (apart from the amusment at seeing the world rendered at lowest mesh and tess settings). I manually put Alderney at the highest priority and nothing. It seems that the only 'fix' for me is to disable EU England which is really quite odd. The only other thing I can think of that might be causing an issue is that I use the external library method when installing my Orbx products (apart from the few that can't) but I believe that should cause any problems. I've attatched my scenery.cfg incase anyone wants to have a look at it and figure out if I'm doing anything wrong. scenery.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Hi The only Orbx products present in the attached scenery.cfg are EGTH and a partial install of Global base...the Orbx Libraries are missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadyptes Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 Oh guess stuff installed via the Library method doesn't show in the sceneries.cfg but in add-ons.cfg because I definitely have dozens of Orbx products installed and working in sim! Also uploaded the add-ons.cfg. I dunno where scenery layering for add-ons happens, but I can see everything looks correct in the Scenery library. Orbx Airports and Regions beneath UK2000 Bristol as set in my insertation point all correct and openLC stuff under that. Everything else seems to work just fine, just the weird coastline around these small islets just to the north of Alderney... add-ons.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Hi It is my understanding that when scenery items are installed outside the simulator via the .xml method it does not matter what order they appear in the scenery library. Only if they are installed to the simulator root folder and appear in the scenery.cfg is when the layering has any affect. I would also uninstall the Orbx Libraries from the current external location and reinstall them to the simulator root Orbx folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
