FSX | ORBX The World's First 2cm/pixel Airport!

**JerdooFlightX** · May 14th, 2012, 14:20

Probably the best scenery yet to be released for FSX (IMHO) ... ORBX sure knows how to raise the bar every single time ...

Nice video! I purchased this scenery as soon as it went on sale...and it is absolutely stunning! I live little run-down airfields that ooze personality...And Stewart is phenomenal!

Anyone any idea what i've done wrong here, aircraft are up off the ground along with buildings, but sea is climbing up the face of the mountains?

I would check the orbx forums, Bruce...I believe you may be missing a patch for the Pacific Fjords

Thanks for the quick reply Felixthreeone , I have already applied the patch for PFJ and I don't seem to be able to get on the ORBX site at the moment.

It's very possible the mesh resolution needs to be changed to fix that - ORBX specifies exactly what settings to use to make the scenery work, some of them are mandatory, I think mesh is one. Should be in the read me.

edit - just checked, make sure mesh setting is 5m.

Thanks Barfly,
I checked and I did set it to 5m, the problem I have is mentioned in the CZST Manual.

My fault I should have RTFM!

A nice little airfield, sure, but at 1GB

it doesn't take too many to fill my FTX/ORBX dedicated 250GB SSD, so I'm leaving this one alone. Regards.

I have this same problem, at 5m, and downloaded the patch. So it's off to the FTX support site.

PFJ.002 has not yet been released to fix the issue.

Luvly... but as an outsider I find the lack of aircraft ground shadows totally perplexing.
Why are there no ground shadows when you have all the rest of that amazing detail??

I have aircraft ground shadows, have you got the box ticked in aircraft settings?

Bruce.

I don't have FSX, was just driving by...

I keep seeing videos made in FSX, which do not have ground shadows.
Surely by now, there are computers that can run FSX planes with ground shadows enabled, without grinding to a shuddering halt?

In the video above, at 1:03 the scenery is all very shadowy and high-res 2cm/pixel textures.
But there's an elephant in the room.
The aircraft, which surely is what it's ultimately all about, does not cast a ground shadow!

Any "suspension of disbelief" just vaporised, right here.

Aircraft shadows enabled can also cause some planes to dissapear, its not just FPS hit, which is why most have it disabled. and for me i never look at the shadows i fly planes so dont miss them.
