10.40 Viewing Issue

[john82088]

I just downloaded the latest version of xplane 10 (10.40). When I went to San Diego, I saw this - see attached - the airport is like in a major sinkhole. Is this a problem with the latest version? Has anyone else experienced this? I removed the San Diego airport that I had and still experienced the same thing.

 

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Hi,

 

You need to turn on "Runways follow terrain contours". This happens because the airport altitude isn't right in your scenery package; turning on "Runways follow terrain contours" ignores the airport altitude set by the scenery package.

Interesting! I tried it and you are right. However, I have never had that box checked before and San Diego worked before 10.40.

 

Thank you for your quick assistance. I greatly appreciate it.

There is another airport you've installed which is writing Taxilinies at KSAN, (but it's not the KSAN airport).

 

Something in the area is placing a taxi line or pavement there, coupled with 'flatten' results in what you see.

 

It also appears the offending airport is lower in elevation?

 

It's not a "simulator problem". It's actually doing what it was told to do... there's a 3d party airport installed or terrain which is telling x-palne to do that.

Thank you! I will see if I can locate that airport causing that.

 

Thanks again.

After further examination, it appears that all of southern California drops the airport elevation for all the airports. I have tried removing all the airports near San Diego to no effect. It must be some type of terrain I have added that has caused this problem. What would be the best way to figure out what terrain has caused this if it did not come from the surrounding airports?

 

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
