A week ago I posted on a problem I'd experienced in FS9 under the heading
"strange scenery/mesh problems" which only elicited one response from Peter
(aka beech45whiskey) and reading it again I realise that I was not all that
clear on what is happening.
Let me start again. This only seems to occur when flying over South America
and I have only the default scenery and textures. What I'm trying to
establish is whether I have some corrupt scenery files. What happens is that
cliffs or vertical escarpments retreat before me! I can never reach them. I
get within 20 or so miles and they instantly retreat another 50 miles or so
and the terrain where they were goes flat. Textures are there and fill in
instantly it's the continually retreating terrain that is the problem. This
does not happen if I fly in the Canadian Rockies, the Balkans, the Alps,
south Australia - just South America. Does this happen to anyone else with
the default scenery? I have done all the mods to the terrain section of the
FS9.cfg file that I know of but it makes no difference.
So, to humour me can someone - anyone- please take off from, say Lima in
Peru and fly on a heading of 120 or 130 degrees and tell me if this happens
to you? It won't take you long and you'll stop me whining on!! Thanks! :0))
