19 M Mesh - Italy

    Glad to hear Michael;

    on my end; work well; I just noticed a slight retard on the flat parts of Sweden in loading low lod tiles; it might be my pc; as usually I test on a donkey; rather than performance machine;

    make sure you make a backup as this is a big file to keep uploading; there will not be more uploads of this scenery; the mesh is now called Scandi_1 and Scandi_2 - Scandi_2 is the new block added to complete the whole region

    feel free to put it online if you like; that will be great if possible.

    Thanks a lot Ray for your efforts :thumbup:

    I did a trip along the Norwegian coastline all the way in the F18 at mach 1.7.

    It locks generally very nice :)

    I spotted two areas where the mesh only loads just before i am flying over it, so the mesh is there.

    It seems to be a "gate" going north-south just west of the city of Tromso(maybe where both mesh areas meet?),

    and the other is going east-west (east of the city of Bergen), (maybe where both mesh areas meet?, your south area and ipacs mesh ends at 60 deg?

    Othervice it seems very nice :)

    yes; I have done lots and lots of test for a couple of days; solid 12 hours each day; to try and find a solution to that problem

    is not because the two block of mesh meet; as I can see this problem happening in some other areas too where we are far away from any meeting points; the sim just do not display those lower levels of mesh in some areas; it only show a lod 10 tile view; without the lower lod display you reverse back to default mesh - flat ; that is what you see; when this happen.

    geoconverter can be nervous at time (we love it to bits) but you know sometime is funny; same as you take a girl out; it can go all nice and well but it can also go all wrong; when compiling the mesh the count of the tile is not right; for example it count 400 for lod 9 but only produce 300; that could well be the problem we basically missing some tiles at lower lod; for some reason it love lod 10 and compile the whole set. That is why we see always that lod 10 tile showing - but not the lower levels in some areas.

    It would just enough be able to compile a whole set of lower lod; even at 9 - that would sort out the issue.

    I can keep trying with time.

    This Norwegian mesh acts like a girl with "her nose high" 😉

    Since i am norwegian i really hope this mesh can be made correct since it makes the fundation for ortophoto, airports etc to rest on.

    As you say you have spent a lot of your time allready try ing to get it right, thanks a lot for that 😃

    good day

    this morning spent more work to find a solution to the 'failure of lod below lod 10' in mesh over Scandinavia

    cut data in different ways shapes; size; right on the lod border or not; all to no vail

    although over Tromso a full set of lover lod tiles was kindly compiled by the geoconverter; they do not load in the sim;

    as this is out of my hands; I have to live it as is for the moment; until this problem is resolved by ipacs.

    I have the data ready as soon we get this nuisance over somehow I can re-compile and load files into the server.

    Hai,

    I need your help, please.

    Today I discovered these structures at "19 M Mesh - Italy" near Venice and Caorle. Can you, who installed this mesh, see if it's the same with you?

    I really hate to uninstall this mesh because it works very well.

    What else could I do to get rid of these structures?

    I would be grateful for any help.

    I too get them at Venice so for now have deleted the mesh.

    Oh dear, too bad Michael! Thank you for your answer.

    Actually, this mesh in the north of Italen, in the mountainous area, works very well.

    Here is a picture near Austrian border.

    That's why I think about what's more important to me.

    But these Monter near Venice look terrible.

    Jakob

    good day

    post here the coordinates of where you see the spikes and we'll fix it.

    that will save time to go around and look for them.

    any spikes you see post coordinates here and they will get flattened like pancakes !

    just give few days to allow time to get it sorted.

    by the way how about sloping runways rather than flatten runways ???

    it complete change the dynamic of your take off and landing; more work involved to get It right

    Hello Ray, any chance you could make an example of how to flatten elevation spikes?

    There are quite few different ways of doing it; the easy way is to patch up the original elevation model used to make the mesh with another dataset; for example if the mesh is dome from aster dem data; you can download another source such as srtm and cut that bit of terrain out using microdem or qgis software - any of the two can do it

    you than load the original elevation model and on top you put the patch you cut out from the different source; usually spikes are caused by bad datas; but with geoconverter they can pop up here and there even without bad datas.

    microdem can do anything you want and need really and is free: a video to give an idea

    this is a good video to grab the principle:

    Ray, thank you for your offer to correct these terrible spikes.

    That's great! I appreciate it very much!

    Here are the coordinates of spikes near Venice / Italy.

    Position N45.34_E12.36.

    But, it is not a single spike. As shown in picture below, in the red area, it is a large group of spikes with a height of about 30,000 feet.

    Thank you for your help!

    Yes you are right! I love sloped runways.:thumbup:

    Especially at high altitude airfields, such as Telluride, it is a nice challenge.

    By the way, on your screenshot the plane is on a self-made orhotphoto scenery, in Telluride? Is it true?

    If you do not already have it, IPACS has a beautiful "Aerofly FS 2 - USA Colorado-DLC".

    Beautiful scenery, high altitude airfields such as Telluride, etc. And all for free! :thumbup:

    I highly recommend it to you!

    nice one!

    but there is only one telluride runway out there as the real one; and that is the one I have made.
