Polytoximaniac Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Hi, I noticed that you now also sell Airfoillabs' Arlington for X-Plane 11. This product was incompatible with TrueEarth and Israel's Farm in the past, see this thread on the x-plane.org forums. Was this solved for the release in your store or is it still incompatible with these products? I think a comment in this regard would be helpful on the product page either way.

Jon Clarke Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 AFL are a new partner who use Orbx as a retail outlet. For support on this addon please note the following on the addon's product page in Orbx Direct: This product has been produced by Airfoillabs. For Airfoillabs product support, please to go https://www.airfoillabs.com/bug-reports I installed it on my setup and did not notice any conflicts, but I was only looking around the airport and not any further at the time. At no time did i h=get any error messages etc. AFL should be able to answer your question definitively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polytoximaniac Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Thanks for the quick response. I used the AFL bug report form to get into contact with them, I will post an update to this thread once I have an answer from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Thanks. I believe it is compatible but look forward to your info from AFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polytoximaniac Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 Thanks, that looks great. Haven't heard back from them yet, but I guess that looks good enough to me to just go ahead and buy it. Thanks again for taking the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I suggest you do get it and IF we find something wrong that has not been seen or discovered by me or Sentry11, we can contact AFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polytoximaniac Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 I bought and tested it and unfortunately it does not seem compatible with TrueEarth. See below for a screenshot of the refinery near Anacortes both without and with the Arlington scenery. With the Arlington scenery active, TrueEarth doesn't render correctly.

Jon Clarke Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I must admit I had not checked that far out from the actual KAWO airport. Need to seethe AFL response. I will ask if we can contact someone at AFL about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentry11 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 @Jon Clarke -- Jon I am going to check and see if I am getting the same result at Anacortes. Will get back to you when I am done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Clarke Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 @Sentry11 I am seeing the same as @Polytoximaniac at the oil terminal/tank farm. I tend to get default ground textures around Anacortes with AFL Arlington installed, but TE Washington when uninstalled. How is your scenery_packs layered?

Sentry11 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) @Jon Clarke -- Here you go. @Polytoximaniac I wonder if using Orbx Washington HD and Orbx Washington Enhanced vs using Orbx Washington SD is causing the difference? Also, do either one of you have "Allan / Burrows Islands" by "Propstrike" installed? Their mesh also could be causing a conflict as both those islands are very close to "Anacortes".

Jon Clarke Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I don't have Allan & Burrows. AFL Arlington is top of the scenery_packs layering in my setup. Washington SD under Global airports. No Enhanced Washington installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentry11 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) Well I guess the only way to find out what is causing the problem is to have someone else with Orbx TE Washington HD, Orbx enhanced Washington, Orbx Anacortes and AFL Arlington installed to see whether the HD and Enhanced Washington are required to display the scenery properly. Oh! One other thing I purchased AFL Arlington from the X-Plane Org store before it was offered through Orbx, but I doubt that would have any bearing on the scenery displaying properly.

Jon Clarke Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 @Polytoximaniac @Sentry11 I have resolved the issue. In the AFL addon is a folder called ZAFL Mesh +48-123 which I had not noticed before. Either remove (which will probably give a scenery error message on screen) or move to the bottom of the scnery_packs.ini. Here are 3 pics showing the conflict gone. Al pics are with TE Washington SD displaying The Tank Farm near Anacortes: At AFL KAWO showing the town: 2nd pic at KAWO over the airport: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentry11 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Jon, good show for cracking it. I always wondered what that folder was for but never really bothered to look into it, now I know. By the way, are you related to Roy Clarke the creator of one of my favourite British comedies? Thanks Much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polytoximaniac Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Sorry for the late response, busy work day. I moved the ZAFL Mesh folder down in the .ini as suggested and did a low & slow flight passing all the Orbx scenery nearby (Anacortes, Arlington, Darlington, Israel's Farm, Skagit, Orcas Island) and everything looked perfect. Thanks a lot Jon for looking into this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
