Scenery Question!

[Worthless]

Rami....This is mainly for you I guess, since I have followed your install guide for MTO...but any advice from anyone is welcome.

I have a nicely working MTO theater up to Malta and JHS_North_Africa. The top of my Scenery Library looks like this....

Cairo
JHS_North_Africa
Malta BSK_v2
Malta 1
Malta 2
Landclass Malta

....no need for all the rest as it follows your guide and works nicely, thankyou.

Now comes the curiousity...

After loading Italy, South France and Greece and Tobob's Bari, and Toranto, I find I now have two additional Default Scenery layers, additional to the original one at the very bottom of my Scenery Library, just above Terrain...so now the top of my Scenery Library looks like this....

Tobob_Toranto
Tobob_Watermask
Tobob_Bari
JHS_Greece
JHS_France_South
JHS_Italy
Default Scenery
Default Scenery
Cairo
JHS_North_Africa
Malta BSK_v2
Malta 1
Malta 2
Landclass Malta

Question....are these Default Scenery's redundant? and are they in the right order?

Also I noticed after adding everything above Cairo, my land and sea views at the horizon have lost the texture characteristics of the closer scenery. I get a solid colored jagged horizon (big squares) of blue at sea level or brown or green if the scenery is land. I maxed out my "Settings" maximum visibility level, and no change. It doesn't seem to impact scenery closer in and as my AC approaches the horizon the near texture changes to normal.

Worthless,

I'm not sure why you would have two Default Scenery entries, but you should only have one. Would you like me to take a look at your scenery.cfg for you?

[Worthless]

That would be great. Do you want me to post it here?

[Rami]

Worthless,

Yes.

Rami,

Here you go.......

Worthless,

Almost no errors...you just had to add the flatten to the original entry, (area.001) rather than creating the new section. [area.030] Not bad!

Just delete the text file extension and drop it in!

[Worthless]

That cleaned things up nicely. No more extra "Default Scenery" listing in my Scenery Library and the texture seems to be back to normal. Many thanks.
