Help with photo texture from chrispriv’s British Columbia SW (Part 1) Whistler

Strykai · November 10, 2020 at 7:21 AM

Hi, I’m trying to figure out what is wrong with the scenery from my install of chrispriv’s excellent BC SW Whistler area https://flight-sim.org/filebase/index…tler-mountains/. There is a square region that looks very low resolution compared to the surrounding area. I’ve tried downloading the files again and reinstalling but I get the same result. Could someone point me in the right direction of what I should do? Apologies in advance for my inexperience with photo scenery and thanks for your time.

I have attached photos of the region to show the location seen on the map

.

Sincerely,

Tony

This will be just simple the end of the scenery! To be continued...

Hello Tony,

Had a look on it. If you have for Part 1 this 7 folders containing the image files in the image directory, then your installation ist correct:

But there is effectively a small area that is not well covered in the scenery yet, this due to the used Bing-Map as a data source (marked in blue):

If the scenery/image files of Part 1 & 3 are completely installed, the area should look like this from high altitude (position north of yours looking to the south):

So I would have to try to merge the area with images from another sources. I will see if I can fix it within an further update. I have also fixed some of these bugs for BC East, but even then not all of them ...

Regards,

Christophe

Thank you Christophe and Michael for looking into this issue! I was going crazy thinking that I was doing something wrong. (And thanks to Schnuffelduffel for the positive attitude!) All your efforts are appreciated! Regardless, I am very much enjoying the BC SW scenery!

Thanks Michael for your advice.

Unfortunately USGS is not much better just for this particular area. Will check other sources.

But for now I will concentrate on my Vancouver; BC project again.
