ashleyjames Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hi, in the last few days i have been having issues with AU blue. While flying from YBBN to YSCB i have noticed large squares of water and even snow where it shoulnt be. I have tried everything to get rid of it including installing the recent ORBX LIBS,re-installing AU Blue and tinkering with the FSX scenery library but have had no luck in fixing it. please see the screen shot below(i hope its not too big! been a while since posting screen shots) any help would be great as this is extremely annoying. kind regards, Ashley james Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hi Ashley, sorry to hear of your issue, which other 3rd party addon sceneries do you have installed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleyjames Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hi, My most recent additions in order are -freeware OLBA from vatsim -fly Tampa OMDB V2 -FSDT CYVR I also use ants aussie airports and freeware YPMQ. When I use ypmq, I can see weird textures like other runways next to the new runway and roads going through water. It's quite bizzare. I hope this helps!

petfy Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I note that Port Macquarie is out of AU Blue, so you might be having the same problem as me. Does this problem happen when you set the month to March? Does YPMQ look like this : http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/50518-installed-tas-freeware-bris-ybbn-now-a-swamp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleyjames Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Petfy, Yes ypmq looks very similar to your YSSY. I'll try the month change and see if this works. Ashley James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleyjames Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Wow! It seems as though a simple change of the month fixed all these issues. I'm now flying in January as opposed to June. So far it looks good but ill test more tomorrow night. Is there a permanent fix for this? Ashley James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petfy Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I can not find a solution to this. Although the required texture is present in FSX, FTX appears not wanting to use it. Basically, the problem is present in the temperate zone during winter, and in the sub tropical zone during summer. Do not fly in these regions during these seasons if you want to bypass this problem. Alternativly, use FSX default scenery, as this problem only effects FTX scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 That looks like a terrain.cfg corruption or similar. If you have Ultimate Terrain X installed, set FTX Central to "Default", run the UTX repair too, then set FTX Central to "Oceania" (or Australia if you don't have NZ). That should fix the issue.

ashleyjames Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hi John. I don't use ultimate terrain. I have tried the switching to default and then to Oceania but it does not help. Ashley Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petfy Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 For the southern hemisphere : FSX winter is between June 21 to Sept 21. This does not cause a problem. FTX winter is between June 1 to Aug 31. This is the problem period in the temperate zone. So .... if you really want to fly in winter, fly between Sept 1 and Sept 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleyjames Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 I flew YSSY-YCFS just now. Scenery all good although my VOR APP to RWY 21 was a little off but Orbx can't help with that hehe. Thanks for all the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
