FlightChecker Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Hi all, I recently bought the Canary Islands scenery which, overall I´m very impressed with, but.... I´m having an issue at Lanzarote (GCRR) and La Palma (GCLA) where the sloping terrain to the north (GCRR) and West (GCLA) is appearing as very steep, almost cliff like, features. It´s throwing the whole "feel" of each airfield off. I´m I doing something wrong? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightChecker Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 Sorry, realised images might help. The "drop off" cliffs clearly visible here....bit messy isnt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentry11 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Is "Runways follow terrain contours" checked in XP's "General Settings"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightChecker Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Well....that was an easy fix....I definitely checked that box! Thanks, fantastic now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightChecker Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Arrgh....so, it fixed the issue at La Palma and also one at Tenerife, but I´m having the same problem at Lanzarote. Any ideas would be welcomed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas would be welcomed! @FlightChecker -- Could you attach a closer screenshot of the problem you have at GCRR - Lanzarote? And is it a payware addon airport?

FlightChecker Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Hi Sentry, Attached below. Also having the same issue at GCFV (Fuerteventura). GCRR is payware, GCFV is not. Runways follow terrain is checked, I´ve tried it both checked and un-checked. Thanks for you help. GCFV GCRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Your GCFV issues are still reminiscent of earlier reports about mesh problems which were resolved by the Terrain follows runway contours, so please attach your scenery_packs.ini so i can also take a look at that.

FlightChecker Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Thanks for the reply Jon. I´ve been messing about with the .ini for a few hours and haven´t found a solution yet. When I fully remove the scenery packs in question I , obviously, get the perfect island terrain. So clearly some kind of conflict. Attached below.

Jon Clarke Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Your True Earth installations were in the wrong place. They should all be under, not above, Global Airports. I have rearranged your scenery_packs.ini accordingly plus a couple of other changes. I note that you also have some MeshXP British Isles files which have the potential of causing a conflict with the TEGB series of addons. MeshXP contains files that are already in the TEGB files like Mesh, trees, buildings and overlay. You may want to consider removing those MeshXP addons. scenery_packs.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightChecker Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 Hi John, Thanks for the input. Unfortunately running with your suggested .ini file resulted in repeated crashes. Back to my original and still the same issue, obviously. I´ve removed the other meshes to no avail as well. Tied up in knots now as Airfoilabs update to the King Air 350 is crashing continuously as well....Great fun... I´ll keep trying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Thanks for the feedback. I do assure you though that the re-layered scenery_packs I sent you is not the cause of any CTD you've had. The True Earth files are in the exact correct position directly below Global Airports and in their A/B/C sequence and not separated. It is sounding more of hardware problem but obviously me in a remote location to your PC cannot confirm that theory especially as you had a CTD when you removed the MeshXP files and also the Airfoilabs update to the King Air 350. I suggest you try the renaming your Custom Scenery folder to Custom Scenery.BAK and make a new Custom Scenery folder. Drag and drop for example TEGB South files plus Global Airports into the new folder. Run XP and exit. Ensure that the scenery_ packs is layered with Global Airports above TEGB South in the following order top to bottom: Custom Overlay Orthos Choose the default Cessna172 and fly from an airport in TEGB South. See if you get a CTD. If not then choose a flight from the same airport with the updated King Air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
