vbazillio Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Hello Orbx, Thank you for the quick upgrade to Prepar3D v5. I just made some patterns at Sedona and suddenly seems to hit the hill on final runway 3. Hopefully, video recording was on (don't look at poor quality) : On the video, it seems I strangely hit something slightly above 5'200 ft. I verified that the hill is at less than 4'900 ft in the sim scenery (same altimeter settings) : On a french simmer forum, there is also a report of someone a similar crash in other location. Am i the only one at Sedona facing this issue ? What should I check ? Thanks for your help, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudger Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Hello vbazillio, have you tried unchecking Turbulence and Thermal effects in Options - World ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean it's a know problem ? Or a simple guess ? Because I just (re)did the approach after this "crash" , with the same settings and everything went fine.

apollomaker Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Hello All -- I have experienced this problem at a couple of airports already. Have a clean install of v5 (v4 removed). Have noticed this issue at both KTEX and KSAN airports ON APPROACHES. All is well until aircraft is near the threshold then the scenario changes radically to ground proximity and aircraft crashes. I have tested the v5 airports without the Orbx enhancement installed and problem is not present. This is a big one that needs a fast fix.. Many Thanks!!!

Hello, I had a problem in the past with a certain airport, can't remember which exactly, again an airport on a plateau, approaching from one side, hard to land, the other direction OK. Switching off Turbulence and Thermal effects removed the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth78 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Could this be similar to the issue caused by having the mesh resolution set too high at certain airports? For instance, I get something very similar to this at a freeware version of SCIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollomaker Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Have tried to force this issue to REPEAT itself and have not been able to get it to happen again! Very bizzare. Have also tried all the ideas posted here relative to settings of mesh size and turbulence activity, etc. Repeated the same conditions under which I originally experienced it, and no hint of what might have been triggering it other than I was getting occasional out of memory messages. I was testing also on a gaming lap top which I was pushing to the memory limit. Cheers All --- Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZKIWI Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Same issue at NZAA on approach to Rwy 23 at 500 feet on finals all of a sudden the ground leaps up and you are rolling down the side of a hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skipy Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I've just tested KSAN with the same crash on short final both runways. Skip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Hello, this problem is now well documented and acknowledged by LM at their forum. They say that they have the answer and that it will be released in an update. There is no need to keep posting me too messages, so I will close this at least until the fix is released. Thanks to all who took the trouble to reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
