Tangier Island

And I am downloading as I type! That is in Virginia right? And in danger of erosion and flooding?

Looks really nice Ed.:applause:
 
Fantastic scenery - thanks Ed! But I do seem to have a couple of problems.

My runway is floating 4ft from the ground! :

I have no other entries for KTGI, and I've tried disabling mesh addons to no avail.

Also seem to have a building (x3) missing a texture? - which is really odd if this is a default scenery object?

Any suggestions? - would love to fly this scenery as it's meant to be! And is this just me?

Check if there is duplicated KTGI files in your flightsim folder, like ORBX KTGI etc. I disabled FTX KTGI scenery and all works fine :)
 
Thanks, but already looked for other KTGI entries.. although a more thorough search did bring up ONE Orbx file: ABP_KTGI.bgl - but again, disabling this made no difference.
 
Hi Ed
So I deleted the Orbx KTGI files but I still have a fellow at the gas pumps talking on his cell. Is this guy not part of your scenery? I also can see a lady standing beside him - looking quite bossy and another fellow roaming around the buildings. perhaps I have missed a file.
Thanks

Those are definitely not from my scenery. In the Orbx scenery there are 3 files that must be removed. . .2 are related to the AFCAD/CVX portion of the scenery and the third is an "object" file.

I agree, the black indicates a missing texture, but why. . .I'm not sure, especially if no one else is having that particular problem. I have a friend on Teamspeak right now who is looking over his copy and all is well with his.

As for the elevation problem. That's a horse of a different color. . .individual slider settings, resolution, etc all play into that especially since I have a flatten as part of the ADE file that should drop everything to ground level. The fact that your's does not seems to point to something in your sim conflicting. As long as the package was installed with no changes I feel it should display correctly. I'm at a loss as to how to fix that though.

Ok, how I missed that in P3D_V4.2 I have no idea. I assume that's what you're using, as I see it as well. Let me see what I can adjust to bring it down to earth. I'll let you know after I get back from lunch.

I'm using FSX Acceleration, I'm missing that texture as well. I think Ultimate Terrain X is messing with the elevation of the creek area in my install. I also see a number of textures suffering from Z-fighting.

On my install, the creek area and school are several feet below sea level. In the screen shots from Aardvark62, they appear to be pretty close to the level of the rest of the island, as they should be.

I will say that my wife and I were on Tangier about three years ago. You have definitely captured the look of Tangier Island.
 
Same elevation problem for me with P3D v4.2
ORBX files deactivating makes no difference.
I have no other mesh file installed for that area.
The whole scenery looks very nice, only
the runway hovers.
Tried different mesh settings with no succes.
Seems to be a different mesh for P3D4 as for FSX.

Cheers
Ulrich
