napier Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Hello Team A small problem exists only at NZNR. The main runway 34-16 (or) the ground nearby has shifted sideways 2-3 meters as indicated in the screenshots. It is not an elevation or vertical issue but more of a horizontal shifting. It affects either end of the runway, the entry/exit to the main terminal as well as the yellow taxi lines at this area. Aircraft load on the centre line from runway making me think it could be land adjacent which is affected on the terminal side? All sim sliders set per PDF NZNI information. All other NZ airports appear unaffected and only noticed this several months back. Yes, there was the Napier 7.8 magnitude earthquake back in 1931 which 254 died and from that the airport was created from the raise earthquake land much later. Trying to solve the situation I uninstalled the 4 NZNI files from ORBX\FTX_NZ\FTX_NZNI folder then deleted the 28 ADE_FTX_NZNI BLG files from the world scenery folder. Ran the FTXConfigurator.exe Started game and airport was ok on default scenery (horrible graphics I must say!) then re-installed NZNI from DVD, the FTXNZNI patch 001, and lastly the latest FTX 150215 Library before switching to Oceania in Central 2 but the problem has not corrected itself. Many moons back I had Snowman’s Napier_V2 & Lawrie Roach Napier_V4 installed but uninstalled both prior to ORBX NZNI install back in 2012. Could someone help me resolve this please? http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/image/4BG http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/image/4B6 http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/image/4B0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Boyte Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Hello, Quick fix attach. Copy and paste the files into \ORBX\FTX_NZ\FTX_NZNI_05_SCENERY\scenery (click yes to overwrite). FTX_NZNI_NZNR_Hotfix002.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro VH-JET Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Hi Edward, Apologies napier I have this issue too, I'm surprised It has not been previously reported for closer look, and I hope my contribution helps to solve your issue. Like the OP I too observed the main taxiway gap meeting the runway, and the misalignment of the thresholds at both ends of the runway 16/34 pre-Hotfix. I have installed the Hotfix files and note, while the Taxiways now join the runway neatly there are some minor side effects. What I have noticed is that there is a 4 deg drift off alignment from true 16-160 deg / 34-340 deg making runway heading 16-164 / 34-344 deg this may in part explain, even after applying the hotfix Runway 34 is still off alignment with the threshold, but runway 16 threshold is perfect, all barring the weed regrowth invading the threshold infront the bars at 16. A minor taxiway leading to Runway 34 has a spur poly defect with grass over the roadway surface, this might rectify when both ends of runway are aligned true. The Runway/Taxiway meeting point looks much much better with the Hotfix than without, so I thankyou Edward, and look forward to a possible SP adjustment somewhere down the track. Kind Regards Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napier Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Kia Ora Edward & Jeff Re: The NZNR hot-fix. This has corrected the entry/exit off the main runway to the terminal. The white solid line at end of RWY 16 has gone but remains at the 34 end and is still 2-3meters offset from the runway end. Yellow taxi lines off the main runway remain as per Jeff’s images. The other narrow entry/exit nearest RWY 34 end remains as Jeff’s images (no big deal and have never observed or heard any movements ever using this). I do not observe any grass/weed bleed through any part of the main runway. Aircraft line up almost perfect with the centre line if just maybe 0.5 meter offset. Overall a bit happier that previously but if the solid white line at RWY 34 could be removed it would be almost perfect. Cheers Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hmmm I tested the hotfix last night, installing the two files as directed, and mine looks perfect now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Banks Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hmmm I tested the hotfix last night, installing the two files as directed, and mine looks perfect now. I did the same. Results exactly the same as Jeff's. ie. Some slight improvement with the Hotfix, but still a bit wrong. I took screenshots, but they're identical to Jeff's set(s). The mis-alignment gets worse as you go down the runway. From my airport "fiddling" days, many moons ago, I remember that even the slightest error in runway orientation (even the tiniest fraction of one degree) can cause these problems - along with the runway centre-point not matching with what FSX expects it to be. However - I can't claim to have anything like the expertise of ORBX developers . Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Boyte Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hi Jeff, Could you please tell me the date of the file "ADE_FTX_NZNI_NZNR_Objects.BGL" in \ORBX\FTX_NZ\FTX_NZNI_05_SCENERY\scenery? Mine is 11 September 2014, 3:41:40pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is 11 September 2014, 3:41:40pm Mine is the same as the above - and I have Jeff's problem. Does it make any difference whether it's FSX or P3D? I'm in P3D. Adam.

Jethro VH-JET Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hi Edward, Looks like you nailed it this time with .002 HotFix, all problems fixed, NZNR looking perfect. Superb effort & many thanks, I'm sure this will make Napier (Bruce) very happy indeed. 4 Degrees adjustment made all the difference 16=164deg 34=344deg. Thresholds Aligned, no white showing. Weed regrowth @ 16 gone Spur on Minor taxiway gone Taxiways all meet runway neatly Taxiway centerlines now as close to runway center as possible with no drift in either direction. Here's some pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
