NZFF

Woohoo Scotland the Brave!! :whoops: My home country. Buildings looking great, can't wait to see the finished product.

Ian would be the one to ask, drop him a PM. If you PM me a return address, I could send you the GNZLAP AFCAD which also has extended GA parking at the CAC. I think it fixed the ILS as well.

Hehe, thanks for the info Rob, but now I know where it is, I think I am going to keep it there just for fun :D This post may help anothers who are annoyed by it though.

While u are there Nik , Maybe extra pic s off the Mainland/Hertz/Avis/Flightline building s and area :)

Ever considered flying finland or sweden? That part of the world looks amazing in FS, my favourite spot round there is Haukasen in Norway (ENSG), read this post for more info:

Hey Lowerellyex, check your PMs.

Bump

Hi, David here. I just had a look at your video Jon, and I made a bit of a discovery. I saw that the airport terrain was flat right up to the edges. After playing with the settings, I found that this occurs if the "terrain mesh resolution" is set to 38m or higher. I usually have it set to 10m. At any setting lower than 19m, FSX draws little hills around the edges of any raised flatten area. Have a look at the screenshots below to see the effect of changing this setting: Terrain mesh resolution set to 38m - you must have wondered why runway 32 (the dive off the back of the apron) was...

man You can make scenery i have trouble putting scenery on my computer. It's why i have none :) it never seems to work. Could you get Avalon to work

As far as I know it wont- It has been made using the FSX SDK tools which I dont think are compatible with FS9...... I havnt tried it in FS9 so i dont know er... b*gger. :(

I havnt heard from him for a while- last i heard was him asking about water blend masks on the fsdeveloper website. If he is using the technique i described then its a lot of work to get the land/water mask and belnd masks working....he may have just lost interest. There is also the issue of licensing since i think he was using Northland Regional councils imagery....

This is how Microsoft modelled the terrain around Hoover Dam, so that's certainly a good option. The trick will be to make it blend reasonably well with the ground. Christian

I learned how the LOD works with GMAX meshes - but it didnt fix the problem. But, I have figured out the problem. The objects which are disappearing are not textured, they only have a diffuse color. Once I assigned a texture to them, they seem to work fine. I can only assume this means that all objects must be textured.

Christian,...................... it wouldnt be anything along the lines of the "Ghost in the computer" problem i had a while back would it ??? With the doubling up up of both the original and your files ??? See link below....... Lawrie. >nzflag<

Hi Trolly, thanks for your inpuit as well. I may be getting confused with realNZ/Red Baron Topo, but havent had the problem in the past and also doesn't happen onm my laptop (maybe I should check the settings if I knew what I was looking for). Will try and put a couple of pics on site so that you can see the problem and thanks for the direction on where to fond out how to do them

Didn't you know? Romans came to NZ a few thousand years ago and built aquaducts :lol:

Cheers Rob, I thought it was going to be much more complicated. I've already placed them on a flatten as it's an old Forest Service airstrip in the Central Nth island.
