KFLL v1.2 nonPBRslope match to Orbx TE FL?

Post by Charles Oman » Tue Jul 20, 2021 12:34 am

Ricardo -

Deinstalled KFLL v1.1 and replaced it with KFLL 1.2 optional nonPBRnonslope version in my Win10 P3D5.1HF1 system, since I use AI and anticipating eventual install of v5.2.
All went well, South runway is indeed flat !
However noted obvious mesh mismatch at the east end of south runway (attached jpg)
I'm also using Orbx TE Florida.
Is that largely due to underlying Orbx TE Florida mesh, or is it present with the default mesh as well ?
Thought you might know....

Hi, can't see the picture.

Our airport brings photo scenery and photo tiles. If that's what you mean, let us see a picture. thanks!

Sorry - thought I'd uploaded it. Wondering if the underlying mesh is the cause, and if it would look better without the TE FL mesh..

Hmm, cant see the pic (a 46kb .jpg) in my response, tho it seemed to attach OK. Any constraints on attachments?

Done.
Checking the Jepp chart I see it lists the 10L/28R runway ends as differing in height by 91 feet, so perhaps it it looks similar with the stock V5.1HF1 mesh. Guessing you might know.

Right, we offered the flat version and the sloped version.

Nonetheless we flattened the area for the scenery to work properly. So I don't understand why this problem.

Hi Ricardo - Attached are zipped .jpgs of the east end of the KFLL south runway with and without OrbX TE Florida enabled. Appears to me that the Orbx TE FL mesh is raising the elevation of the EMAS and surrounding grassy area. - but not the dark field and the building beyond Did your flatten include the EMAS and grass area ? If not is extending your flatten to that area a fix that would achieve TE FL compatibility?

Regards

This is very strange that addon causes this. It has been around for some time now.

Can you ask in the ORBX forum if they alter airport elevations with that addon?
