ic0n Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) I wonder whether there's something wrong with my scenery-packs.ini file - or something else. The Needles are just flat islands, and there's no Needles lighthouse. I previously downloaded the demo area, and the lighthouse was there - I remember because I landed on it! Have I not got Orb-X GB South installed correctly? Edit to add - this is my .ini file. There's a few airports/fields that I've created at the top - perhaps that's upsetting something? scenery_packs.ini Edited October 25, 2020 by ic0n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Hi. Think this was brought up a while ago about the Needles being missing. Not on my computer at the moment so can not check to see if it’s a sorted or not. Thanks Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentry11 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 @ic0n To me your "INI" file looks okay. FWIW - I have Needles. Must have been a TE GB South update put out, or a "Orbx_A_GB_South_TrueEarth_Airports" update with Needles included, but then again I don't remember updating. Old Timers disease, I guess. Check and see if you have updates outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 @ic0nIt was fixed in the TEGB South update which also introduced the new file of TEGB South Airports. The lighthouse issue was/is contained in the TEGB South Airports folder now and that folder should be above Global Airports as you have it. You could try placing it right at the top of the scenery_packs.ini. Also run the Verify Files option for TEGB South I also suggest you read through the linked topic as it covers the issue you are referring to and alsoi n i posted a pre-update mod that made sure Needles stood as a standalone addon. Take note of the required XP settings mentioned in the topic posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ic0n Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 Ah, damn - I searched using Google but not the forum's own search function! I do indeed have the 'World Objects' slider set below 'High' in order to get the FPS out of my old computer that I need for VR. I tried increasing the setting in non-VR, and there it is! I was interested to read that the settings for this particular airport require this setting because the underlying object's 'Show with' property is set to '6 Totally Insanse', unlike most other things. I have some experience making airports in WED so I would happily edit it to reduce that, or even the .xml file's 'show_level', but I'm puzzled as to where it (EGLH) actually is. Custom Scenery\Orbx_A_GB_South_TrueEarth_Airports\objects\lighthouses doesn't contain it (only Longships, Wolf Rock and Bishop's Rock) so I don't know where it's hidden!

Sentry11 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Thank you @ic0n @Jon Clarke This is where the problem with "Bishop's Rock Lighthouse" may be. Two ocurrences of it, one in "Orbx_A_GB_South_TrueEarth_Airports" and the other in "Orbx_A_GB_South_TrueEarth_Custom" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sentry11 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I think it might as it seems there is two .obj's involved probably at different elevations, one installed with a hard deck and the other not, but I could be wrong. By the way @ic0n you were looking for "EGLH-Needles" then see attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, we are confusing the issue a bit! Sentry11 has pointed out that EGBR - Bishop's Rock, which is the subject of my other thread, seems to have two sets of data associated with it, which might possibly explain the collision problem. This thread was started about EGLH - Needles lighthouse which only appears when the 'World Objects' setting is at least 'High' (unlike, say, Bishop's Rock). This seems like it should be fixable. I have actually tried 'High' on my system in VR and it will just about hold its own, but 'd prefer to drop it a notch for better FPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandExile Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I do not see the lighthouse or the Needles using the demo package when in VR. I shouldn't have to set the number of world objects to high in order to see a specified airport. Is it that is now moved into the airport's file? I do not see that in the demo package? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 The demo pack is not a complete addon. I do know however that in order to see the full contents of a True Earth addon, not the demo, you will need to have World Objects set at max or you will have restricted autogen, buildings and POIs displayed. The Needles is only the lighthouse with a helipad on top and not an airport in the true sense of the word 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandExile Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Turning the number of world objects up to High did indeed bring back the Needles lighthouse - on the demo package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 That's good news. Having never had the Demo I was unsure whether the needles would be a part of it. All True Earth addons require World Objects set to maximum, should you ever consider buying a full version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
