Black Lines
« on: December 14, 2008, 02:44:52 am »
Good evening

I have a small, but ugly issue with Zurich.

I adjusted the general scenery setting to be able to use Lukla. After that, I wanted to check if any of these adjustments causes a decreasing of fps on my addon airports. Cologne was ok, but when I checked Zurich, i had black lines on the tarmac (see picture). So I adjusted the settings as they were before (I think it's like before, i'm not completely sure about the mesh complexity), restarted fsx and those lines did appear again.

We don't see any of that.

But the obvious question would be: did you see the lines BEFORE touching the settings ? And, anyway, if you don't say which settings you changed, it's not possible to have any idea if the problem is related to the change of settings or not.

I did not see those lines before. I changed the settings as it is recommended in the manual of aerosoft's Lukla.

FSX settings - SCENERY:

Level of detail radius: Large (I had this one on Medium)
Mesh complexity: 92 (mine was at about 50)
Mesh resolution: 19m (76m)
Texture resolution: 60cm (2m)
Water effects: Mid 1x (High 1x)
Land detail textures: On (On)

Scenery complexity: Extremely dense (Very dense)
Autogen density: Normal (Very dense)
Ground scenery shadows: On (On)
Special effects detail: High (High)

Currently I have no freeware and the following payware addons installed:

fsdt LSZH
fsdt LSGG
aerosoft Aspen
aerosoft Lukla
aerosoft Cologne-Bonn
aerosoft London-Heathrow
FlyTampa St. Maarten Complete
Wilco Airbus Series 1
Wilco Legacy
JF DC-10 Collection

I think the best would be to reinstall Zurich. --> Reinstallation had no effect. By the way: I have a red line around Dock E.

ROTFL, I checked better and, it's NOT A BUG!! They are water drainage lines, if you go closer, you should see the proper texture.

Here's how they look like in real life:

as you can see, they are positioned exactly as your screenshots.

Ok, that's the reason why I saw them only by overflying the airport  ;D Thank you virtuali! Great and fast support!
