Terminal white flickering, and a small Autogen issue

Post by mtbrkhrd » Sun Apr 12, 2020 1:02 pm

Dear FlyTampa,

first let me say how impressed I am with what I see in your new EKCH scenery, a job very well done! Things are detailed and crisp everywhere, a massive amount of detail, good configuration options and an airport very well integrated into the surrounding scenery. Beautiful to look at and all that with still impressive FPS. FlyTampa, as always, a masterpiece of a large airport scenery, thank you so much!

There's two issues I haven't seen mentioned anywhere:

1. A part of the main terminal building shows heavy flickering / texture artefact when approaching the airport form South West. When I'm on the ILS for 04L, I can very clearly see that a part of the terminal building is showing heavy flickering, switching between textures and some white polygon stuff. The flickering remains until within the second half of the runway, at which point it starts to fade away.

First image showing that the flickering is very well visible far off the airport:

The second image shows that flickering is still present much closer to the building:

The third image is for illustration purposes only, obviously I don't fly with this zoom level. Just want to show you the issue. The 2 images above are taken at normal zoom settings.

So the question is, are there any settings I can change to avoid this issue? I should add that this part of the building is the only area where the issue occurs. All other buildings display perfectly fine. So perhaps this is something you can look into? If this were only a steady display artefact, I wouldn't even mention it. But since it is flickering heavily all the way down the ILS, it is quite distracting unfortunately.
Let me know if these screenshots are good enough for you. If not, I'll try and capture it on video.


Then there is a small autogen issue. When approaching from the North West, you can see there is a large chunk of Autogen missing.
And since this is right below the approach path, I hope you can plant some trees and place some houses into this area, as it is very well visible? It doesn't need to be super detailed of course, but the rest of your scenery is covered so nicely, I'm sure you can fill it in a little bit :-)

This is all for now, thanks for listening and again massive thank you for your hard work!
All the best,

Noticed the same thing right away. These flickering, noticeable from far away.

In my case the flickering is still noticeable, but by far not as bad as before.

Updated the file. It should now be gone. I can only see it flickering at high zoom levels from distance, where pretty much everything else flickers
(follow same process as before, ie select 'Transparent glass' first before applying the patch)

Thanks for solving these issues that quickly, this is highly appreciated!
Flickering is gone and the Autogen is present as expected.

I found another issue with the runway lights in combination with displaced thresholds. But I'll open a new thread for this in the morning :)

Can't post any pictures due my account being new.

But I got some flickering left on the terminals - and I got them both at night times and day times. They are at all buldings but not as much as before the hotfix, so the hotfix did do some magic.

Regarding the big green field that is a nature area which is protected by law which is also visible on the attached image.
The airport with RWY12 is on the top right corner.
