texture / elevation issue

Post by phmcr » Thu Jan 25, 2018 6:12 am

Hi, I am having some problems with the scenery. As you can see on the image only at a certain area I seem to have elevation / texture problems. It is only there, the other parts are ok and P3DV4 doesn't crash. But what is happening here?

Are you certain that you have the latest version installed? The one that was released early January 2018:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=10302

If not, try reinstalling, perhaps clear the folder Prepar3D/FlyTampa/Toronto/ first to make sure you are back at stock CYYZ before installing the latest version.

Check the folder FlyTampa/Toronto/scenery/ see if you have the files:
cyyz_terrain.BGL
CYYZ_TERRAIN_PLAT.off

Check there isn't another file like cyyz_terrai0.bgl

If you only have the those 2, rename cyyz_terrain.BGL to cyyz_terrain.OFF and load CYYZ to see if the black area is gone. Let me know if the black area is gone and all thats left is a hole in the ground, or better post another screenshot.

Yes, only those two files, renamed one as suggested.

Ok, restore the file to BGL.

Go into the Scenery Library, see how FlyTampa-Toronto (and ..._LC) entries are listed. Are they greyed out or not?

Next look at the following file in notepad and make sure it matches the one below:

/FlyTampa/Toronto/add-on.xml

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="AddOnXml" version="4,0" id="add-on">
    <AddOn.Name>FlyTampa-Toronto</AddOn.Name>

Hi Martin, my bad!

I could see where this was leading. I had moved the Toronto directory to a separate one I had made for P3D and had added it using Lorby's add-on tool. Guess that misses the finishing touch in this case.
So reinstalled it, moved it again and installed it using your add-on script. All fine now!
Thanks for your patience!!
