Dadtom65 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Hi went for a trip to the above Airport and then flying North came to a big large Plato that rose quite sharply then flattened with water on the top part. Also it had some sort of building on the side that did not look right also. Sorry forgot to take a picture of it. Perhaps someone could go there to check it out maybe. It certainly didn’t look right.

Dadtom65 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Sorry it was near the wider part of the Island. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donka Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Will need to check that out later but hoping Orbx release Sumburgh for the new sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Hi Donka yes just had another look and it’s still there. Looks like a a big lake on top off a flattened mountain. Plus anybody know what the pause key is, if there is one and the key to take a picture of said item. Seems my keys are all over the place. Thanks Derek.

Donka Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I’m sure it’s just P by default or perhaps Ctrl+P. No screenshot feature in the sim at the moment but you can use the Game Bar feature in a windows 10: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026387/windows-10-keyboard-shortcuts-for-xbox-game-bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Thanks Donka will try all what you said. Just going to map out all the controlls for my X56 now. Thanks Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Just a look on google maps and looks like there is a lake is there but of course can not see if it’s on a Plato. Think other people have been there, it’s a wonder no one else spotted it.. Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfko Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I guess you mean this Derek? This seems to be an elevation/mesh fault. There are also some smaller lakes in the vicinity on such funny plateaus (circeled in red). Edit: just found a few others of these abnormalities on the Shetland Islands. E. g. Around Lerwick/Tingwall airport (EGET) there are a few of them. Orbx is desperately needed here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Hi wolfko. Sorry didn’t post earlier as was watching Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy. Have read the book and couldn’t make head or tale of it then. Yes that is what I was on about. Thank you for taking a picture of it. Derek.

Nick Cooper Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Hello Derek, there seems to be a very large number of such anomalies in the northern latitudes. A flight over northern Scandinavia, Iceland or indeed Alaska will not last long before deep holes or indeed plateaux appear with water in them or on them. It looks like the mis-match of mesh data of the terrain and vector data of the elevation of the water, as seen at some northern latitudes in default FSX and P3D.

Dadtom65 Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Thanks Nick I’m sure it will all get sorted in time. Thanks Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much information on their website and/or forum. Being a great fan of their work and having used EGPB quite often as a base for flights to Norway i would love to see it done though.
