FSX / Re: Which FSG-FSX mesh files do I need to remove

« on: December 16, 2011, 01:46:47 AM »

Hi Justin. I have removed all the files with the word Iceland in -  FSGdem_iceland.bgl, FSG_cvx_iceland_x.BGL & FSG_cvx_iceland.BGL but no change. I still get this (just one instance of many):

Will have to go by the trial and error approach.

Later: Wrong screenshot - that is a similar problem in Greenland! Ooops. I'll post back when I get it sorted.

FSX / Re: Which FSG-FSX mesh files do I need to remove

Hi. It doesn't seem to make any difference where I put FSG in the scenery.cfg file, I still get many lakes raised up like towers, maybe 50m high. I have FSG at the end of the scenery.cfg file (in C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\FSX), i.e. with the highest number, at the end of the file, but moving up above all my scenery addons doesn't change anything (but that would give it higher priority, so I wouldn't expect it to).

The only thing that works is disabling FSG completely - but clearly there is just one, possibly 2 or 3, bgl files which are creating that problem, and before I start locating them by trial and error, just wondered if you had a list of which bgl file relates to which area: the names are pretty intuitive in FS9, but not in FSX for the most part.

Thanks again,

Martin

FSX / Which FSG-FSX mesh files do I need to remove

« on: December 12, 2011, 03:26:06 AM »

Hi Justin - hope all is well with you - I haven't been here for a quite some time, mostly as I have all available FS9 FSG mesh installed and it has been working just fine. I never used FSX much, but now that I am adding a few 3rd. party sceneries to it, I do fly FSX it a bit more often. I have 36 GBs of FSG FSX mesh installed too - and see there are one or two problems.

For example, with Aerosoft's Iceland X installed many lakes appear as the typical raised 'carbuncles' rising dozens of metres into the air. If I disable FSG mesh all is fine, the lakes are flat again. I have removed obvious files like FSG_BINF_ADEX_CVX.bgl, just as one example, as this obviously falls within Iceland (with such files left active in FSG, airports have bad elevation problems. But how do I find which specific files I need to remove from the FSG scenery folder so as to have the Aerosoft Iceland X work as it should, terrain elevation-wise? Other than by trial and error.. which would take hours. Is there a list somewhere of which file relate to which areas? File names like 9Z9_ADEX_FSG.BGL don't give me any clue as to which areas they cover. I removed FSGdem_iceland.bgl but that doesn't affect the lake elevations.  I don't currently have access to my FSG DVDs by the way, as I am working abroad (and my DVDs are back in the UK).

Is there any FSG FSX mesh for Antarctica I would need to remove before installing the new Aerosoft Antarctica X? I seem to remember that there isn't data wasn't available or was too expensive, or something??? But maybe I am wrong.

Thanks,

Martin

I'll take that as 'no, they didn't' then ....

Did anyone follow up on this? I have removed the Greenland files from the scenery folder because the elevated lakes look worse than the mountainous areas look better, if you follow me. A pity.

Short of someone making flatten files for every lake I can't see how this can be fixed. I don't know what the reference to 'mesh clinging' is further up (Justin?).

Someone somewhere said the mesh in 'FS Global Special Edition' doesn't cause the lakes to rise up like this - but I know no more than that..

Does it make any visible difference to the terrain in FS9 if this value is set to 20 or 21 (in respect of all the new 19m mesh - for which, thanks Justin!)?

Do I need to set TMVL to 21 for the 10m mesh I have installed (though I seem to remember FS9 won't render 10m mesh - or have I incorrectly remembered things there?).

Thanks,

Martin

"if a plateau exists in FSX, it likely also exists in FSX"

How true!! :-)

We will keep our fingers crossed then!!! (And post likely FS9 airports on the Airport Plateaus thread too?).

Thank you Justin,

Good! I'll watch this space, just in case!

I have searched but cannot see (going blind? or daft? or both??) any mention whether this great idea will be only for FSX or we FS9 faithfuls will also be able to benefit- the sample for Rhode Island is FSX only 

Thanks,

Indeed, I sort of wondered what else there was to do - the whole world seems pretty much covered now as you say,
