Mithras Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Is this normal? I have a big cliff on the northern edge of HECA. I can’t remember ever seeing it before. I’ve disabled HECA in Vector, but no change. I have searched my systems for all HECA AFCADS but nothing sprang up. I’m not at my computer at the moment, so no screenshot unfortunately.

Mithras Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Ah yes, unticking LCAfrica mesh solves the problem, so it is the mesh. Ah well, I need that mesh activated I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hi Where are you enabling and disabling that Mesh? Who is the mesh by? Cheers Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hi Carlos The mesh is by Orbx and is included in the product and can be found in the scenery library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot Doug As LC products usually don't bring much configuration I had not realized that, I have not checked. It happens that I already had a mesh for Africa the FreeMeshX Global 2.0 one. This means I have both enabled Do you know which one is the best to keep? as I think I have to disable either one, right? Regards, Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Carlos You can leave them both active and the simulator will always just use the highest resolution mesh that it finds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NATORDEN Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 This seems to be the relevant topic atm. According to Doug, even if my FreeMeshX 2.0 is below the OpenLC Africa (as the attached pic shows), using 5 m mesh resolution would mean that P3Dv4 will use FreeMeshX 2.0 (38 m resolution) over the Orbx Africa Mesh (76 m resolution).

Nick Cooper Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hello, exactly, it does not matter where added mesh is placed in the scenery library, if there is mesh for the same place, the simulator will use the highest resolution. This is not necessarily a good thing to do as when flying from a lower resolution area into a higher resolution area, or vice versa, the scenery will be seen to shift before your eyes.

I see, recently i have been experiencing blue lines even after i re-installed P3D. It seems to occur due to this scenery shifting, something like the image I attached. as i move closer to a mountain its mesh resolution increases too. This was after departing LOWI after trying to make the blue line tears less visible. This video i made with Vanilla P3D shows this issue too (https://youtu.be/Ct4KHOjs71U). As i move closer to the blue tears they go away as the scenery shifts. I know its not relevant to this original topic, but in relation to what you said that i quoted.

Nick Cooper Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hello, this is a consequence of added/default mesh interacting with the mesh included in the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithras Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 I’m not sure why you would not disable the mesh with the lowest resolution. Regarding the original post - does everyone have a dramatic cliff north of Cairo Intl? When I disable Freemesh and Africa mesh and my payware airport, it persists. It persists with any and all combinations of those three add-ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hello Paul, the open LC Africa mesh does seem to put some of the default HECA into a dip, as would be expected if adding mesh. If Vector AEC is disabled, then there is a bit of a cliff near the ends of runways 16 and 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithras Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Thank you Nik, it’s always helpful to hear what other people see in their sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurizio Giorgi Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I have the cliff too at Cairo Intl. Only Open LC Africa installed, so yes, it's the mesh included in the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithras Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Thanks. I will just disable the mesh when flying into out of Cairo. Easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I see Cairo Intl. this way: A little depression , but you can still land it (and imagine these are sand dunes...) What is more troublesome is the elevation of the GSX/SODE jetways at HECA: No major issue (passengers are used to be treated rude by airlines today), but that´s how I see it.
