Version 1.2 Taxiway signs half hidden

[petermaxkoller]

Hi

All taxiway signs are all half hidden in the ground when I use the summer, spring, fall textures; only with the winter texture the taxiway singns are OK.

please send a screenshot with the problem and check if the two layer of zurich are active on library scenery, the problem is not visible an all my test pc, and it seem like bad interaction with other addon.

There is only one layer in the scenery (Layer 1)

What I noticed is when you enter with the plane in a grass area (where the taiway signs are also in, the roads of the plane disapear; maybe the altitude of the grass (not the new grass border) is some 20-30 cm to high in the version 1.2.

Thanks for you PM; unfortunatly I dont have SP2 installed for the FS X; I am waiting for the download version.

I tried to reinstall version 1.1 (the taxiway signs were correct in 1.1) but FS X didnt start anymore. So I reinstalled Version 1.2 and then it started OK.

Do you know why we cannot reinstall a former version?

Thanks

You can't install a previous version, because it would break compatibility with the Addon Manager that has been updated as well. Well, in theory you could, but it would require putting a mixmatch of files, that might create issues for the next updates.

We know there's a very minor issue that doesn't appear in SP2 so we thought it's not a big deal, first because it only happens if you put the airplane on grass, and then because the moment SP2 downloadable version will be out, nobody will probably want to use FSX SP1 anymore.

Apart for this, Zurich 1.2 is so vastly improved comparing to 1.1, that I don't see why you'll want to revert to 1.1 just to be able to see the airplane when it's on grass, expecially considering the problem will fix itself with FSX SP2.

Hi Umberto

Why did you use SP2 features before SP2 is officially published for download? Taxiway signs were correct in V. 1.1 without SP2.
I will not pay over 50$ for the Expansion package because i am not using military aircrafts.

So I will taxi in Zurich with a "half view of the taxiway signs" (V. 1.2) until Microsoft deliver the download version of SP2 (sometime in december??).

At today the sp2 is on betatesting, sp2 is very close to release. For the grass problem (and others compromise) at the moment is necessary two versions of Zurich (sp1 and sp2), and this for only few days. I hope that you understand that, the problem of the grass is too much small to justify the complexity of another release for sp1 and this for only the time from sp2 of Zurich and the week or two from sp2 of Fsx, (Zurich at moment is very complex to release for the number and relative check of version X,9 and chpro)

No problem; I can live with the taxiway-signs half hidden, as I know this airport very well (my homebase) and no problem for me to taxi around.

Thanks

Hi

I'm coming back with my first post:

**
All taxiway signs are all half hidden in the ground when I use the summer, spring, fall textures; only with the winter texture the taxiway singns are OK.**

I do not understand why SP2 should change my "summer, spring and fall textures" and let the "winter texture" because with winter texture the taxiway signs are OK!

1. Can anybody explaint it for me?
2. Do other FS X (SP1) user have the same problem?

Thanks

The problem pre-sp2, is on top green grass not on lateral texture, the winter grass is only lateral texture.

Hi Alessandro

Tonight I installed FSX SP2 on my Windows-XP computer.

Also installed the newest Zurich scenery and the addon manager.
Now the taxiway signs are OK.

But I have a new problem:

In the summer texture the trees are white and not green; only on the top they have a little bit of green.
Do you know what this could be?

Thanks

the trees on zurich use standard texture of fsx, check if the texture with name treesSU.bmp, treesFA.bmp and  treeshw.bmp result corrupted.

Hi Kappa

I tried shutting down FSX and start it again=did not resolve the color of the trees.

Shutting down the whole PC (FS X and Windows-XP) and starting again resolved the problem (I do not know why); but the trees are also OK now.


..... Until next time I started FS X--> white trees again!!
Must be something with the NVIDIA Driver for my 8800GTS??

Thanks
