Eggesford what have I done?

Post by 602cc »

Hello, me in trouble again!
My Eggesford scenery has moved as can be seen from the following pic. Now I'm not sure what caused this. On my old setup I'm sure it was fine. The difference on this computer is I loaded FSG Next mesh 19M (to get the Scottish lumps and bumps). I renamed the file on world/scenery to a .bgx which should disable it?
It's almost looking like having to do a full re-install (please no!)
Any ideas?

Thank you very much

I'm not quite sure what I'm seeing there Stuart. I take it they're default textures sitting on what should now be default mesh? Difficult to see why Eggesford has moved (though it obviously has). Who's scenery is that and I'll take a look :)

Renaming the file .bgx should effectively kill it off :)

EDIT: The only one I can find is from the Alf's UK Airfields series but these are for FSX *-)

Is it Dave Moly's Eggesford?

Try moving Eggesford to above the Mesh you installed, if it is not already above it.

Dunno Keith *-)

I DID find another version in UK Farmstrips and this lines up perfectly with UKVFRPhoto scenery/VFR Terrain Vol1.

Yes, it's Dave Moly's Eggesford on VFR scenery. I think the Next Mesh doesn't have an entry in the scenery list.
I have the Just Flight/Visual Flight/Get Mapping mesh that came with the VFR scenery discs which is 38M I think. That shot is with that terrain, FSG Next mesh disabled.

Yes - as it's my scenery pack, your problem is caused by attempting to use it with other scenery and meshes installed.
As clearly stated in the 'Installation & Information.txt' file included with the download, "this sim.model was built for FS9 running with the default mesh. Performance in FSX or with add-on sceneries or meshes cannot be guaranteed." :((
That's it, I'm afraid.
Cheers

That's fine. I'm sure I had it correctly lined with the same VFR scenery on my old laptop.
Well I'll have to get busy with SAMM to add my Austers!
Thanks.

For the CAF simulator, we wanted to create a scenario for the Auster and so instead of using a 10000 foot runway at St Mawgan, Matt Wynn has very kindly produced a Horizon VFR Scenery version of Eggesford (almost my 2nd home) for our use. Hopefully this will be available as a download to all upon completion.

Having flown out of the real airfield over 200 times, I can sincerely say that this is one of the most authentic strips in FSX, that have ever used and it of course incorporates the undulating runway. Wonderful stuff indeed. Only problem as in real life, is locating the runway. There used to be a house a few miles away having a new roof fitted with a bright orange temporary cover and so made identification a lot easier, but this has since been finished and so its now a case of getting to know the local area very well indeed!

Best wishes,

Martin
