KBWI-ugly sawtoothed texture mismatches along rwys/taxiways

Post by w6kd » Sun Feb 21, 2021 7:21 am

Ricardo;

With regular winter season selected at KBWI v1.1 (P3Dv4 and v5), there are corners/edges of numerous green polygons extending from under the edges of many of the runways and taxiways. They look awful over the brown winter scenery tiles. For example, at the approach end of Runway 28, there is a series of green "sawtooth" corners of what looks to be some kind of overlapping green polys under the pavement, along the edges of the runway for most of its length. They are apparent in many places around the field. With the Spring/Summer and Fall seasons, they are stil there, but the color is closer, so it's not as ugly and obvious as with the tan/brown winter textures. With hard winter selected, that sawtooth pattern is white rather than green, and again isn't as bad a mismatch.

Regards

Hello Bob,

Is your mesh resolution set to 1m by chance? If so, that is what is causing your issue.

I have mine set to 2m because of this very issue at KBWI.

Hope this helps.

No, the photo above was taken with 2m mesh res...I also tried 5m. The "regular" (e.g. not hard) Dec-Feb winter season is set in the LVFR config program, the date in the sim is 15 Feb at 1000 local time. Those green jagged sawtooth areas along the edges of the runway look to be the corners of some kind of terrain/ground polys that underlie the runway. That sawtoothing is also visible in Spring/Summer, but the green color of the sawtooth doesn't contrast nearly as much as it does in the winter when the infield is brown.
