rfresh737 Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Catalina Island has an airport. It is located atop a plateau. I flew there today in Xplane and noticed that the Orbx Los Angeles scenery is pretty much spot on, at this Catalina Island. However, I noticed that the sides of the mountain rising up to the top of the plateau are more like blurry walls. I did a comparison to Google Earth and Orbx really matches the topo except for these vertical walls. I'm wondering if this is an Orbx issue or if my Xplane settings might be causing this, and if so, what could I adjust? Thank you...
Jon Clarke Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 It is more of a conflict between the mesh used in TE SoCal and the mesh used in default XP. I don't think it is planned to rework that area. One possible solution is to see if the link below offers a better version. https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/29476-kavx-catalina-island/&_fromLogin=1
rfresh737 Posted February 22, 2021 Author Posted February 22, 2021 I installed the KAVX scenery but that did not help the vertical walls issue. I also installed the new Mesh 4 for XP11. No change at Catalina airport.
Sentry11 Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 @rfresh737 - FWIW, here is what I see at KAVX - Catalina Island. Do you have "Runways follow terrain contours" checked in XP's General Settings?
rfresh737 Posted February 22, 2021 Author Posted February 22, 2021 Holly Cr*p Batman...that was the issue all along...thank you very much for the help...!!!
rfresh737 Posted February 24, 2021 Author Posted February 24, 2021 BTW the Mesh 4 I installed gave a nice increase to the sharpness of the scenery.
