unable to locate terrain definition (X-Plane 10.23)

[AngelG888]

When loading X-Plane 10.23, recently receiving the following error message:

"unable to locate terrain definition:  lib/g10/terrain10/sq_post_hot_dry_fl_md.ter (io_dsf.cpp:554)"

When clicking "Understood" button, the application crashes (closes).

Attaching Log.txt, in case this helps.

Anyone with any information on this, please let know.

Thanks.

I've had this problem a few times before. I can provide some preliminary troubleshooting help but more info will be needed (I'll explain) to fully solve, probably.

1. Deactivate all your custom scenery. This should fix it but it doesn't really provide a true solution as you are now down all your custom scenery, which sucks. This error is usually involved in custom scenery from my experience.

2. Activate it one by one. Wait 'til you find the culprit. When you have, you can either remove the bad scenery pack or you can attempt to fix it. To fix it try opening it up in WED (http://developer.x-plane.com/tools/worldeditor/ of which a new version was just released) and check for errors. Beyond doing an automatic validation... it gets complicated and it can sometimes be due to things crossing DSF boundaries or due to bad terrain reference or etc. 

Anyways, what scenery do you have running in the area? Is it from X-Plane 9+?

Finally, update your installation. Considering that you haven't updated your X-Plane installation in over a year, this might, just maybe (with some sarcasm in there), have something to do with it. Don't expect an out of date application for which updates are available to run properly, especially when scenery developers work with the latest versions.

according to your log file you have installed an HD custom mesh which is incomplete and causing the error

/zzz_uhd_global_scenery1/

move this folder out of your custom scenery folder not to load it and try again if it works.

 

EDIT: also note that alpilot ultra hd meshes requires 10.25 and later mandatory!!!

I already wanted to add that info: at least X-Plane version 10.25 is mandatory for either HD or UHD Mesh Scenery (that version delivered terrain types / textures for a few new landclass types which I introduced at that time)
