[Navtech]

I hope seen one day this "white chalk"

A lovely photograph of the light show being projected onto the cliffs during the Olympics.
I bet the French love it... (This is visible from Calais and Dunkirke).

i'll be starting on the Rhumba conversion work around 1600GMT... so hopefully by 2100 we'll have white cliffs on the rhumba mesh... anyone know an alternate download as it seem i've just used up my SoH Download allowance trying to download all the stuff.... , think i have all the DEM8 bits, but i'd love to get the LOD bits as well....

Try this Matt...

I have now given up on this...

There are just so many different mesh solutions with different elevation data, and each texture needs to fit!
This is an almost impossible task!
Should you be carrying on Matt, then good luck! :-), if any assistance required I shall be on your hand!

Thanks,

Stuart

Thanks Hurricane! Stuart, Hurricanes link has the rhumba meshes.... perfect! Navtech where did you get that water? it looks nice!

[Matt Wynn]

this just gets weirder and weirder.... strangely the cliffs still show up after i've activated the Rhumba mesh..... odd..... very odd..... *scratches head* we will do this! ok.... plan of action.... everythings disabled, we're back to default.... let's start from there eh?

This is the Zinertek Ultimate Water first version (payware)
They have released a new version .. but for me .. the old is better ..

BTW I use the mesh from Next Mesh England 19m (also payware)

aaaaargh this is just becoming one headache after another.... with the rhumba mesh i'm not seeing shorelines and therefore no wave animations being triggered.... what order do you all with the rhumba bits install it in, either i'm blind or it doesn't give an order......

[Hurricane91]

After the default...Asia (629), Africa (630), Alps(632)... I have Rhumba's 5(632), 7(633), and 8(634).
From there, LOD9s followed by LOD 10s etc. I hope this helps but as Stewart suggested,getting this
to work for everyone may be a tall order.

Here's a thought... Why not get one small mesh bgl that covers the cliffs, then set up a package that displays the cliffs with that? Then that package can be placed into the scenery library above all other meshes so that it will (hopefully) have higher priority and display correctly regardless of what larger mesh package is under it.

Yeah!
That's what I call attitude! :-)
The frustration over the matter made me give up!

Matt,

the sim will always show the highest resolution mesh for any area, regardless off hierarchy in the scenery cfg. If you still have better mesh installed it will still show through other mesh even ifit is above the others in the order.

Rhumba mesh is in some places the same as the default, others, it is better. remember, it was made primarily for CFS2. I did try the world mesh from SimV, but found it had many errors, and gaps, discarded it soon after. Richard knows his stuff, so I settled on his.

And just to show yet another different mesh... Raimondo Tabeuret's Shuttle Radar Topography mesh. Former payware that was released free.

[JDTinballs]

deactivated Rhumbas mesh, same results, a small patch just to the east and west of Dover. Default mesh.

Here's a pic or two of chain home & low just for sh!ts-and-giggles. And a couple of voicepacks for the period - requires EVP.
