Missing Roads

[i<3xplane10]

For a while now I have been flying around certain areas where the roads just seem to disappear, however i know they're supposed to be there ( such as the dense roads near LOWI which aren't appearing for me). If anyone has any ideas that would be fantastic.

I am using XP10.20b3

It depends on your rendering options: number of roads

Did you change these settings ?

Actually, I think it's the terrain. The roads in x-plane are designed to be flat, and on mountainous terrains, it'll go through the mountains.

No, in X-Plane 10 the roads are not designed to be flat, but to be "draped" dynamically on the landscape. So no, they - usually - should not disappear in mountains.

[Ryan M.]

Oh, well they do that in V9.

[i<3xplane10]

These roads disappear even on perfectly flat land.

[i<3xplane10]

I have roads on extreme.

[alpilotx]

Roads (and almost all other art assets) can be "removed" dynamically with add-on scenery by using so called exclusion zones (XP9, this was the case with the default LOWI scenery, which removed roads in a rectangular area surrounding LOWI). Maybe this is the case here with you ...

[i<3xplane10]

Is there any way to remove these "exclusion zones".

Yes

Method 1: Import the LOWI custom scenery DSF into WED, find the exclusion, delete It, Export Scenery Pack.

Method 2: Use OE (Overlay Editor), Go to the LOWI Custom Scenery, Select Exclusion, Delete (sorry, not too familliar with OE, but it also works)
