I just started using the Taburet Norway mesh. It is great, but in some areas the mesh doesn't manifest until you are almost right over an area. Instead you see a large flat square area bounded by vertical walls. Is this a function of FS2 having problems with high latitudes, or is there a fix?

Nobody else has had this issue? Is anyone using the Taburet mesh?

I have experienced this problem in the areas where Scandinavia West mesh meets Scandinavia East mesh. Perhaps this is due to how AFS2 retrieves mesh into the RAM?
-
yea
i know - try many different options to fix that problem; nothing was working
aerofly for some reason seem unable to load the lower mesh lod files into the sim above North 60 ; only display the higher lod creating voids; although the files are there.
talk to ipacs !!

I'm not their favorite person. They don't like my questions.
-
It seems that this problem has been experienced by a number of users
Norway mesh not supported by AFS2?
It would be great to have a fix for this

Hi Greytop.
I use Scandinavia freeware mesh (19m) made by Taburet. It works just fine - except for the joint between Scandinavia West and Scandinavia East. Do you see problems with the terrain (mesh) elsewhere?

Hi Hartman,
Thanks for your reply.
Good to hear that you are not experiencing the same problems. I have tried both Taburet's 19m mesh and the 10m mesh. The issue appears to be the same with both for me. I see the large flat valleys all around North west of Gardermoen (see attached images)

Strange. As a test, you can try to deactivate Scandinavia East mesh (and Augustin Winther 10M MESH). Use only Scandinavia West mesh (19m) made by Taburet (Scandi_2).
Do you get the same error then?
To deactivate the folder "scandi_1" (Scandinavia East mesh) - insert 2 underscores in front of the folder name:
__scandi_1

Thanks again Hartman,
I tried your suggestion and unfortunately I get the same result as before.
This also happens for me with either mesh (10 or 19m). Looking to it further it seems that in this particular area of Norway an area around the aircraft only is loaded with the mesh and terrain mesh detail further out to the front, sides displays as a flat area then further still you see the high cliffs where after the correct mesh is displayed.
This is most odd and unfortunately an absolute emersion killer, what a shame, especially when it occurs where your fantastic scenery work is displayed
Edit: Further investigation tonight, it seems to be related to the 60 degree north latitude. It happens around this latitude, then a bit further north the issue seems to mostly disappear (or at least decline) to the point that it's not so obvious.
-
yea
it look like a lod loading issue; lower lod can not show for some reasons - around the n60 regions

Yes I agree, that is what I seem to be experiencing.

I have the same mesh issues. Bad loading just north of 60 degree. But also very bad between Tromsø and Bardufoss and east of this area. Using Taburet's mesh.

Yes this seems to follow the pattern I am seeing.
It would great if IPACS could look at this issue.
I know we using a third party mesh but importantly this issue happens with both the 10 and the 19m mesh which points to either a similar or identical problem with both or an issue with how Aerofly FS 2 is loading the mesh in theses areas. When you arrive very close to these flat valleys they do suddenly pop up almost literally in front of your direction of travel. This is a real shame with such a wonderful scenery to experience thanks to Hartman's hard work.
-
I have checked the same area on my PC - and am experiencing the same error. I have not changed anything.
The reason must therefore be due to an update from IPACS.
EDIT: When I go out of Beta - mesh works ok on my PC.

The Gardermoen area: N 60.1500 / E 11.0700

Thanks for checking Hartman and Michael
If it helps I am running v2050309b and witnessing this strange mesh behaviour.
If I update to v2050323 I have experienced multiple CTD close to some UK airports so I am currently staying with v2050309b.
-
Flying over this area is working OK in my DVD version not updated to the latest beta version.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for checking.
Which version are you running, is it v2050309b or v2050323?
-
How do I find the version number please?
Hi Michael, in the 'bin64' folder find the Aerofly_fs_2.exe and right click on it. Then click 'properties' and look for the version number under 'details'.
