FSXXXX - Beyond the Thunderdome - Waterworld

[DaveB]

The year is 2050. Global warming has caused the icecaps to melt increasing the sea level which has broken through the 'Low Lands' we once knew as the fens. Small islands now flourish on what was the higher ground leaving Englands green and pleasant land a distant memory. Below, the island of Duxford.. to the west, the island of Fowlmere. Those white dots amidst the deep blue ocean are small craft known as 'AI Shipping' which seem to go nowhere but are everywhere.

This my friends, is what the future brings..


An alternative might be, do you think something has gone wrong in FSX somewhere??

WTF!!! Just flown there in daytime mate and all is normal. What addons have you installed?

[DaveB]

What addons do I have.. you may well ask. I've asked myself that since I realised the East Coast had moved to Baldock last night

Basically.. FSX has the following:
GenXv2 (all parts and all textures with the exception of the Demo area)
UK VFR parts 1 and 2
Scotflight..
.. and an assortment of files from the Horizon forum/library to populate other areas thus far missed from UK VFR 1 and 2. These are
Britannia Bridge (FS9 really but works in FSX)
Menai Bridge (likewise)
EGCB Barton
EGCK Caernarfon
EGOV Valley
Hamble Airfield
Static Objects Library
Ted Andrews Hangars
UK-Farms-All-GW
UK-Refineries-FSX
UKVFR Library..
.. and that me old mate is it. UK Refineries FSX I added just to give the place a little more interest. UK Farms ALL GW were needed to make Valley display 2 missing/transparent hangars and the SOL, Ted Andrews Hangars and UKVFR Library are needed to add bits that would otherwise not be there on all of the above with the exception of the 2 bridges. Udder dan dat.. FSX be untouched (ironic as at least half of it now appears to be under water)

Bizzare. What was the last thing you added Dave? Could it be the order of things in the scenery list?

A SCENERY error God.. why didn't I think of that

Just had the Alpha F3 up to FL500 and a ferkin' big chunk of scenery now sits below sea level (Colin.. you should be ok I think.. it's a little east of Baldock so don't break out the sandbags just yet) The exact lontitude it sits at is West/zero so it looks like that particular area of GenX lost the plot during the load. I'd already tried disabling the Addons until things got better but it didn't leaving only GenX and Scotflight active. Looks like a reload of GenXv2 (vol2) is the order of the day.. deep joy Where the hell did I put those v2 discs
