Richard1000 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I am still investigating but! Some horrible glitches around Queenstown, huge pillars very similar to those seen recently all over but seemingly cleared up with one of the recent updates. Might be a clash with other addon scenery - will let you know. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I ran a test flight with this mesh from Queenstown to Milford Sound. No issues at all with the mesh. However at Milford Sound, with the freeware airport add-on from flightsim.to installed, I saw mesh anomalies around NZMF airport. No doubt as time fgoes on the freeware will be adjusted to suit this new mesh. (I hope). The quality of the mesh as you fly up the lake and then climb over to NZMF is absolutely stunning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard1000 Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 Bit more research! I had the freeware Queenstown installed. Without it everything is OK. Interestingly both the Queenstown and the superb Milford Sound say they have tried to correct the mesh around about the airport. I am sure this is the problem - there were no issues around Dunedin with another freeware airport, but which hasn't tried to correct the mesh. I will leave a message on the .to website to see if they can release a version with the airport scenery but no mesh changes! A great shame that there is this clash.

If I understood Virtuali correctly thats the way that will lead to problems in most cases. So is there a chance to get an official comment on the issues observed and the pros and cons of the CGL method used? For me it sounds like the heightmap based sdk supported way should be the better alternative. But I'm open for reasons to convince me Cheers and Thx Thorsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And performance is the holy grail for most flight simmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And performance is the holy grail for most flight simmers. That would be a possible point for the list. An official statement like 10% faster than the heightmap based mesh on same detail level. But as far as I understood its breaking possibly both freeware and payware offerings in the mesh area as it's not able to exclude areas. So what is a slight gain in performance if the rest is true? So I hope we will get some official feedback on this. Cheers T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjmx Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Why is this thread marked as resolved? Does it mean if I don't install add-on airports, than its working fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaseman Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 From what I can gather the author of the Queenstown mod is modifying it to work with the Orbx scenery. The Milford Sound airport and scenery has also been modified and looks great. The only other airport I have tried is Lake Tekapo and that works fine.

spaseman Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I’ve since landed at quinton lodge, fox glacier, kaikoura and glentanner. They all worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
