CLett737 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hi there, Just installed YBBN from orbx. Looks great.....apart from the runway. For some reason it looks blurry compared to the launceston airport also from orbx. I use rex also and their runways are nice and crisp but for some odd reason, my brisbane one isnt. Also I tried to change the settings on ftx aero but that doesnt seem to have any effect what so ever. I cant seem to also set the TML setting to either 2042x2042 or 4096x4096. Everytime I go back to the ftx aero software the tml setting is back to 1024..... Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Routley Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hi Hasaudio, It may help to post a screenshot to see what you are seeing. If you make any slider changes to fsx, then the TML will reset to 1024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLett737 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 This is brisbane..... This is launceston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Routley Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hi Has, Not much wrong there ... YBBN has a photoreal runway (as distinct from vector generated) So the two will look different. Not as crisp, but it is the way the real YBBN runway looks ... down to the placement of the touch-marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the quick response though guys! The airport is fantastic by the way.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLett737 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Actually....it looks like the taxi ways are blurry too. Runway again: Outside.....this makes the runway look sad to me... Taxiway - notice the difference between the beginning of the airport gate/parking area and the taxiways.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLett737 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 And could someone point me in the right direction as to the ftx aero software and the TMC settings. They dont seem to stay set because each time I open the aero software up again, its back to 1024.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLett737 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Also, is there a way to have the rex runway on the ybbn airport as well as the taxiways? Im sorry to be so picky...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockliffe Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 OK, as Ian has mentioned earlier, if you make any changes to your slider settings while in FSX, your TML in the cfg. file setting will revert back to default of 1024. Other values in the cfg. file will also revert back to default, such as your LOD radius, which is by default 4.50000. There may well be other values also that revert back to default, but these are the two which I know by fact default back. So, if you are only bothered about the TML setting reverting back to default and no other values, you have a number of options. The first is to make a series of different settings that you want to fly with relative to a particular scenery. For example, you may want to have the autogen set to normal when flying around urban scenery but set on dense whilebush flying. if you change these setting while in FSX, the TML will revert back to default of 1024, as already explained. However, what I have done is to save different settings within the settings panel in FSX. I have a setting for the Aus big airports, a setting for bush flying and a setting for general city flying. Once you have saved these settings you can switch between them while flying without the TML or LOD settings in your cfg. file being affected. However, ANY CHANGES TO THE SLIDERS WHILE IN FSX WILL REVERT CERTAIN cfg VALUES BACK TO DEFAULT. Another thing you can do is to download and use a freeware application that keeps your TML setting at a predefined value. See this post http://forum.avsim.net/topic/258476-texture-max-load-editor-question/ As for using REX runways and taxiways above Orbx scenery, unless someone else knows differently, that is not possible. Let us know how you get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Henare Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 To clarify, The runway and taxiways are photoreal images with a maximum resolution of 15cm per pixel, your TML setting will not change this, nor will Aero or Rex. The aprons are higher resolution but semisynthetic meaning they are based on photoreal based but created by hand. So in simple terms you cannot make the taxiways or runways any sharper using this technique, when we created YBBN we did not have access to higher resolution imagery so it is what it is.

rockliffe Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Apologies Martin, you are of course 100% correct and I hope I haven't confused Cameron by bleating on about TML settings I was just expanding upon what Ian had originally mentioned earlier.

Martin Henare Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Also, is there a way to have the rex runway on the ybbn airport as well as the taxiways? Im sorry to be so picky...... In the YBBN control panel and referred to in the manual there are a number to options to disable the photoreal runway and replace it wth a default runway using the rex textures if you have them, but still uses the 15cm photoreal imagery for the apron and taxiways. The main reason we don't use default aprons is because it destroys the nightlighting we have spent many many hours creating as default aprons cannot be illuminated.
