Boundless EGBB runway flattened by Orbx GB South


TheAlpine

Recommended Posts

Dear All

 

Noob to PCs, sims and xplane. Looked through as many previous posts as I could and did not see anything specifically dealling with this... Have installed Boundless EGBB scenary and the only option to enable the accurate airport and runway contours is to disable the Orbx tile covering EGBB. When enabled it flattens the runway (which in reality has a pronounced dip) and some other elevations. Would be great if I could find a way to get Orbx working with the Boundless scenary as both are rather good.

 

There also seem to be an awful lot of Euro style buildings with the "Brum" Orbx tile enabled - isn't Orbx South supposed to replace those with UK style?

 

Apologies in advance if these answers are very obvious or easily descerned from the scenery pack file, I only have a basic grasp at present.

 

With Thanks,

 

current ini... (Please let me know if you see any unrelated organisational howlers; I've just been letting xorganizer take care of all)

I would need your a copy of your actual scenery_packs.ini. Have you got the latest version of X-Organiser which I believe works better with Orbx True earth addons. The X-Organiser tool tends not to place the TE addons correctly.

I don't use X-Organiser, but can tell you that the TE addons need to be kept together and placed directly under Global Airports.

Boundless EGBB (not known by me) needs to be above Global Airports. Any mesh deviation when EGBB is on top of TE GB South would require Boundless input to modify their mesh.

Your pic is showing me how X-Organiser and you have "organised" your addons by classification etc.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it is the latest edition of xOrganizer. Below, is the cut and paste of the ini from the Custom Scenary folder...

I have a suggestion for you.

Rename your Custom Scenery folder to Custom Scenery.BAK

Make a new Custom Scenery folder.

Drag and drop the TEGB South folders into the new folder from the .BAK Custom Scenery folder and also the Global Airports folder.

Also drag and drop the 2 EGBB files  into the new folder.

Run XP and exit.

Open the new scenery_packs.ini from within the new Custom Scenery folder and make sure it is layered with (top down)

EGBB Airpprt

TEGB South Airports

Global Airports

TEGB South Custom

TEGB South Overlay

TEGB South Orthos

zzEGBB mesh

I edited the ini file to follow the order you have suggested (please see attached)  and it is as it was, that is to say Orbx coverage flattens the runway and other elevations when the Boundless mesh is placed below. Screen Shot attached.

 

Insofar as the elevations, it seems then this is not something I can resolve at the user level (unless there are other possibilities) and I  have provided the link to this discussion to the developer. Could you perhaps suggest some solution to help them get the airport to integrate with Orbx. Jon, thanks for your help so far.

I had the EGBB mesh working with True Earth ( undulating runway etc ) but I had to disable it in X-Organizer because it altered the Orbx TE scenery ( see pic )

Disabling the mesh ( which covers a large area, not just the airport itself ) and the scenery returned to normal. I don't know why the mesh would do this but I'm happier 

with the flat runway compared to having the scenery spoiled. The picture is approaching EGBB from the North.
