Mike Sierra Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Screenshots say more than words: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/kRUCULl1GejY8uChr3h8HdMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/QIDeB1XvDKeoleD6uImJjdMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/etunPZHVLA51dqbAU_EO5NMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/niivNmMmPPvExJAoBbIQttMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink These are the worst examples in the Finnish region. Similar faults can be seen in Norway, so I think, it's an issue of openLC EU North - especially part 2 for Scandinavia. My scenery.cfg file (that one in C:\Programdata\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2) lists here: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/LIBP1jWoLj2_t0-w18m6wdMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink (I've cut out part of the "Base...." entries from this screenshot due to better visibility of the screenshot - to read it use first the magnifying-glass icon in the right upper corner of picasa, then the magnifying drawer down right). I've already read the thread with scenery.cfg entry "Default terrain" as a solution, I've checked to work with the correct scenery.cfg file, I've tried the "Hybrid Mode" variant, too. I'm just now trying a re-installation of the northern part of openLCEU. Is there any other solution? Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnieB Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I am having the same problems, now flying over Southern Germany from Rothenburg to Nürnberg. Who can help us? I have just installed Europe - until now none of these problems had been present. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10202563653109372&set=a.10202563652949368.1073741829.1137624956&type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10202563653109372&set=a.10202563652949368.1073741829.1137624956&type=3&theater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesommer Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Hi! Did you read the manual? Page 13 --> "Note that openLC Europe is not the FTX Europe region and selecting it will cause anomalies in the scenery. openLC is a Global addon and works only with Global selected." So, witch to global and everything would be fine I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Sierra Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Did you read my post? "I've tried the 'Hybrid Mode' variant" - that only works with the "Global" setting. And nothing is fine - yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Manhart Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 What version is your FTX Central? Is the FSX Scenery Manager entry at 001 normal? (forgive me I'm using P3Dv2) Is this a third party program that modifies the scenery.cfg or terrain.cfg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Manhart Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Okay, I've checked the area and here's what I'm seeing: Here's a copy of my scenery.cfg and terrain.cfg if you'd like to compare with yours. Scenery.txt terrain.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Sierra Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Hi Phil, I'm astonished that your screenshot shows a town - most probably Pikku-Peura. Until THAT position my scenery looks ok, too. Just north of it the chaos had (!) started. Meanwhile I noticed that not only northern Finnland, but also Norway (around Tysfjord area) is affected. Both countries are content of openLC EU NORTH - and there part of EUROPE2. Disabling the scenery.cfg entry containing Europe2 lead to "normal", and default, scenery. So I judged, that it could be an issue of either OLC_EU_CVX_Scandinavia.BGL or OLC_EU_REG_A_Scandinavia.bgl, the 2 scenery files in the respective folder. I did a re-installation of openLC EU NORTH. Until now (30 minutes of test flight) the textures look 'calm' and regular. Maybe one of the BGLs was corrupted during installation. I'll keep an eye on it - continuing flying in Scandinavia. @ FS Scenery Manager - entry: the original P3D scenery.cfg file reads [General]Title=FS9 World SceneryDescription=FS9 Scenery DataClean_on_Exit=TRUE In the first 4 lines - as does yours. (Note the "FS9" although it is P3Dv2, which created this file!) "FS Scenery Manager" is (mere 'was') a small tool by Michael Garbers reaching back to the times of FS2k to once manage the multitude of scenery addons. Today I use it only to re-number the lines for "Area" and "layer". As I assume the hierarchy of the OrbX scenery entries to be essential for correct display, I have not touched the sorting and grouping features of that tool since I switched to P3D. Comparing with your scenery.cfg I now notice that,after having re-installed part NORTH, the hierarchy in my file presents mixed up and changed. Now the entries for VECTOR are the lowest in rank, followed by openLCbase, the 10 entries for Europe and the local GRB sceneries at the highest area number. FTX Central reads v1.00 build 1043 from June 2014. Michael (still sceptic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Sierra Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Jonathan, Have you tried to re-install openLC EU central? I seem to have resolved my problem by re-installing the scandinavian part. Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxZ Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I'm also having the same problem as Mike Sierra. Appears to be in every part, N, E, S, W... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtracy Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I concur with all entries here. I fly all over Germany, Italy, France, and England. Since the installation of OpenLC EU, I have these blue tiles ( and 'moving' light areas in front of my airplane...). If this occurs to many people, why is there no reaction from the ORBX people? I am certain that it is a general problem...? That said, I am happier than ever before with my simulator. Now, flying over a landscape ia a lot of fun, I can recognize where I am! And all that without having to install a lot of addons ( like with FSX ) and(!) having to deal with the accompanying additional problems. I am so glad that I can get my sceneries from one seller!

Rusty10 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hi Changed FTX Central back to Global and fixed the issue for me. So I would try this first? Thanks to joesommer for the heads up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penzoil3 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Fixed it for me too. Note Global NOT Hybrid! Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Sierra Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Now it becomes REALLY interesting. I've set FTX Central to Global and hybrid mode ticked. And I've done a re-installation of openLC EU north. And there are no more texture confusions (yet! - keep your fingers crossed!), at least no obvious ones like in my screenshots. Now after 2 1/2 hours of simflying across Scandinavia using the F35, so I could cover a larger area than with the Beech King Air. For me - the problem seems solved. But wait! I have not seen the other parts (south, east, west)! Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca22au Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Have a look at where you have set texture resolution in your scenery settings. I found that these anomalies disappeared when I backed off on the slider. I think that I was overwhelming my very good 780 GPU and it could not render the textures sufficiently quickly. I know some debate this, but after starting P3D I go into Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del), select processes, scroll down to 'prepared3D.exe', right-click on priority and select High. Works for me, and also I repeat the same process and select Affinity 'All' cores. These last can be adjusted permanently but I have forgotten how!

Mike Sierra Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 Have not found any other texture tile confusions since re-installing the faulty northern part of openLC. - For me: solved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
