UK airbases uploaded

Perhaps the SRTM mesh is the problem. Achim's bases are built on SdC's Europe coupled with Josiah Haut's V1 or V2 mesh. I'm not sure it was tested on SRTM. :kilroy:
 
Rami, I get what your saying. Yeovil's problems I bet was caused by that mesh, but when I moved the airfield file closer to the STRM mesh file on the scenery list, Yoevil stopped having the outrageous problem I was having with it. IE starting 10 feet avove the ground, then rolling and falling throug the 'runway' only to crash in to the 'ground' below it. I don't have the issue any more.


Now with Gonfirth, it has to be an airfield elevation issue because if I slew the plane left or to the right of the runway I can slew it to the ground, but if I slew the aircraft back to the runway, it pops right back up above the runway at 500FT.


Achim's the vast majority airfields over all really fit the SRTM mesh well, and Pen's airfields have no issues either. Woolston could possibly a mesh issue like Yoevil, and there I'm just floating 10ft above the runway. But with Cardiff, Gernsey, and Gonfirth I'm 200-500ft in the air above the runway. With Gonfirth I get two different locations when I select a different runway at that airfield, and by different locations I mean that on runway places me in South Britian, when I sleect the other runway it shoots me to a small Island North of the UK.
 
Wolf,

Gonfirth is a small strip on the Shetlands, a group of islands North of the UK.

Question: Are you talking free flight or a mission created with the mission builder.
Gonfirth has just one entry in the airbase.dat - file so there is just one single runway available and one doesn' t have a choice.

Yesterday night I tested all fields and the worked alright on my pc (but I found some other glitches I have to correct).

Cheers

Achim
 
I'm just running Free Flight.

Now Gonfirth is showing where it should be now, irregardless of which runway I use, but I'm still 500ft in the air, and not a clue why.:banghead:

and when I say runway I refer to the opposing sides. IE runway 36, and runway 18.


update:

I fixed it! I went messing around with the scenery list again, and I fixed it! I just moved all of my European airfields file under the STRM mesh file, and that corrected the issues I was having with Gonfirth, Gernsey, Woolston, and Cardiff. I dunno why it worked, but it did, and did not have any adverse effects when it came to the mesh scenery it self. And I thought Bruno's Malta scenery was picky on where it needed to be on the priority list, yeesh! :)

So its good that the SRTM mesh works with this. Over the years I know SRTM mesh has gotten a bit of a 'bad rap' when it comes to fitting things, and I still see anomalies that make me scratch my head. But what I like about it that it covers most of the world. Most of the other meshes out there, while better then SRTM, have only covered select areas.
