LEMD Madrid

[Axel]

Hello,

since using your mesh in FS9, I get a plateau at LEMD, Madrid.

I think there is no solution yet, right?


Kind regards,

Axel

Hi

Not yet.  FS2004 plateaus are much harder to fix than FSX plateaus.  Your report is noted, however, and if I ever develop a practical process for fixing FS2004 plateaus, it will be fixed.  Always researching methods and if a lightning bolt strikes . . .

Hi Justin,

Like many of us I believe, I am about to buy the newly released NEXTmap Spain mesh, but I thought I'd bump that thread and ask if on this occasion, something could be made about the Aerosoft's Madrid Barajas airport (LEMD) plateau. It's more of a request perhaps. If I knew a fix was made available for that specific airort, that would hasten me to buy the NEXTmap mesh

Hi Arnaud,

Not sure I could fix it on this end without messing up Aerosoft's work.  Perhaps Aerosoft could issue a patch more easily, since they are familiar with the intricacies of their product and apparently already have options in their installer, depending on the end-users' installed terrain mesh.

As stated previously, fixing plateaus in FS2004 is considerably more difficult than in FSX, requiring complete replacement of all the flattens in a wide area, the time involved which would realistically require the issuance of a whole new product focusing on that one particular issue.  It is a very complex operation if done correctly.

That said, there may be a possibly of a quick and dirty fix that is not ideal, and may create a lesser problem elsewhere, but I will research it and see what I can come up with, but wouldn't expect such a fix before the end of the month.

Thanks for the great and fast reply Justin. I actually figured that fixing these issues is indeed a heavy work, especially for fs9, reading your previous post.

I asked nonetheless because there had been a quick fix like the one you mention, for another piece of scenery, the FSdreateam Vegas (KLAS).
A simple user there, provided a fix in a zipped .bgl, on the developper forum, and that third party fix solved the huge plateau effect in Vegas.

And that fix, actually made my buy the product (a scenery that causes a serious plateau effect is a no-go for me ).

So, I tried some time ago to go and ask on the Madrid dev's forum, unfortunately, it's not Aerosoft (they're only the publisher), the dev is Simwings,
and their forum is german speaking only, I could not even register their forum.

I asked the same Simwings, by the way, to consider this plateau issue for their next awaited scenery, Anchorage, Alsaka. As a matter of fact, even the defaut Anchorage produced weird plateau with your 38m mesh. Havent been given a reply yet, as to they will or wont adress this issue before the release of their scenery.

Thanks again anyway Justin, looking forward to trying a Madrid fix from you one day. Would it help if we give you the FS alitude of the Aerosoft LEMD?
