Classic British Flight Sim

Yep, that's all done. The only thing I can think is that if you have the GenX for southern Ireland, that mesh is covering Belfast too If I send you my BGL could you try it to see if it looks any better on your system?

Sure, but it might be better to send the the SBP file.

Hi George, just sent both over to be on the safe side.

OK, but, the groubd should e completely flat within your flatten area irrespective of the mesh.

Hi George,

It is completely flat within the area of the flatten

Morning chaps,

Here is a little taster of what I'm trying to achieve. Under Georges expert tutorage I've been trying to do this for about a week now, but been getting nowhere in FSX. On Friday night I went into P3D and added the same scenery folder and low and behold, my docks had sides! Now a happy bunny because I had proved that what I was doing was correct (having redone it twice because I thought I was doing something wrong) but not understanding why this was different between P3D. Last night I disabled all of my scenery, still no joy. I then backed up my FSX master scenery folder and replaced it with the P3D one, still no joy. At about 02:15 I went into setting and saw the problem. I had (at some point prior) knocked my mesh resolution slider back to 38 metres instead of 5!!! So after all of that, it was something as simple as a slider in the wrong place. Now if my electrical fault finding tutor could see me now, "what have I always told you Watson; Switches, Fuses, Relays!" (i.e. check the obvious first)

Anyway, still a lot of work to go with the water mask etc, but the risen effect of the Docks is now working. The only thing I can't seem to get rid of is the bloody M3 bridge that wasn't there in the 70's - 80's I've tried a few different excludes (Roads and Freeways) but no joy.

For the bridge you need an exclusion rectangle with the tag excludeExtrusionBridgeObjects = "TRUE"

Looking good mate

FSX really does my head in sometimes.. Hamble being a good example! I've since looked at a bit of scenery Brian is making and I seem to have plateau/holes all over the bloody shop. I wouldn't mind so much if this was a tired old install but it's not! A quick flight from Brum to my house shows 'the Villa' ground is on a plateau off the M6 to the left. To be honest, I can't remember taking too much notice before but I'm sure it shouldn't be like this. Wonder if it's a consequence of one of the houses I've added in Pelsall?

While I'm here.. does anyone know of a decent tv mast.. default autogen or otherwise? I want to add one or both of the tv masts at Sutton Coldfield and the only thing I could find yesterday was a tv mast for Alderney. I've added that for now but it's far from correct. It's too darned small for one I know I've seen tv masts scattered all over the place but can't remember if this was FS9 or not?

Like Dave said, looking good, Ben!

I guess it's these little blighters, Dave?

Any idea of the dimensions?
Are they standalone, or do they have rigging to support them? Couldn't see in the photo.

I know what you mean Dave. My FSX install was only a few months old so I was completely baffled, but alas it was my own fault.

That exclude worked a treat George! Is it possible to modify the stock roads / freeways? I know I can add new ones, but ideally I'd like totake the traffic that used to go over the now demolished M3 bridge and route it through town. If I join some new road to where the M3 has been deleted, will the traffic follow it off the stock M2 onto my new road?
