Strange Scenery ... Or Mesh happenings

[airboatr]

Flytampa is 55 USD ..

I'll wait for a sale price..
Another thing I'm keeping in the back of my mind..I'm concerned about frame rate hit I'll be paying for.

You sure about that Joe? I just did a conversion online and 28Euros = $31.35USD

The price is right from the flytampa website, Dave..

Maybe I had another box checked.

I downloaded the airport designer from Scruffyduck... For now, it'll have to wait.. I'm buried with things to do..
The problem I had is fixed so I'm satisfied.. thanks for your help.

Mike,
The file name of princess Juliana is: tncm_v1.0

Thanks for the help

Rgr that Joe Fly Tampa must think you guys on that side of the pond can afford to pay a premium!

If you get stuck with the tower height.. give me a shout

Hi Dave.
I didn't see the tower bgl. IIRC I can adjust the tower view another way, including adding a secondary tower view ?

Hiya Joe,

No.. it will be part of the afcad/afd/ade/adex file. Find the bgl that has all the runways and taxiways on. It should be on there marked as a red T with a red circle around it. Double click on the T and it's properties will open. You'll see it's height (which will undoubtedly be HIGH). Bring that figure down to something believable then hit COMPILE. Give it a new name if you want. When it asks if you want to save, say NO. Compiling the file will already have saved it. The 'Save' it's asking about is something different.

I'll give that a try, Dave.

Here ya go matey.

The red T with the red circle around it has an object sat on top of it. Took me a while to find it!! Anywho.. you can see it highlighted by the red arrow. Hold your mouse over it until tower view shows then click on it to open the properties. You can see the properties window in the screenshot.. I hope. The view is currently set to 16.458m. Change the value in the box to make it higher or lower



The file you need to open is TNCM_ADEX_GNC.BGL

Dave,
Know what? I don't have sdk installed so I can't go about changing the altitude of the view using ade.
I opened tncm in ADE and made the change but when I tried to compile it.. I got a dialogue box informing me the sdk location could not be found. Soooo
Without going into a lot of detail I won't be able to install the sdk for the foreseeable future.
I might be able to adjust the view altitude another way via XML.

I'll do it for you Joe. I see what the problem is. The tower has been put at the level of that bank it sits on. The tower view height is (obviously) some way above that. The height needs to be at least double otherwise you're looking at the back of the house in front of it when viewing the end of the runway. Interestingly, I found Bounty sailing not far off.. a nice surprise!



Give me a few mins to have a fiddle and I'll post the ADEX here
