Hidden Object Collision
« on: August 24, 2018, 06:35:21 pm »
Hi,

I'm beta testing a 747-8i and I am having collisions while taxiing on either taxiway A and C; I will check to see if taxiway B also has the same problem.  This seems to occur just as I get to the Sepulveda Ave tunnel that goes under that area of the airport.  I have gotten around this by disabling collisions but I really hope that isn't the final solution.  I do have Orbx FTX SCA and I just realized after my last clean install I did not do the fixes Orbx states to do. I'll also do those and report back if it still is happening.

Love LAX, looking forward to ORD!!!

Try to set the Mesh resolution as suggested in the KLAX manual: 5 mt and not more. Setting it any higher can create rounding errors which cause terrain "spikes" and possible ground crashes.

Yes, it can also potentially caused by OrbX, since they might have added a custom terrain mesh that covers KLAX too.

Thanks, I've set it to 5 meters and will test.  Also I've added a tweak that Holger did for FSDT KLAX posted on Orbx's forum.
