Gp 0.82

[GHD]

Is anyone having problems with this version?

It seems to compile ok but the polys and lines don't display in FSX.

Also, I copied a line from one ADE file, loaded another ADE file and pasted it.

The position of the pasted version is nowhere near the original.

Displays for me.

A copied/pasted line will (should) display where you paste it, not where you copied it from.

That's why we need an export/import function.

It is on the list George.

OK, I added a polygon and line to the default EGKB, neither show in FSX:





ADE file attached.

Note. It uses only default textures.

 

[gadgets]

They don't display on my system either, though the expected .asm code is generated.

George, recently, you had an issue with polys being copied at one airport and pasted at another. Is you current problem in any way related to that issue.

I'll continue to investigate.

No, I was attempting to place them at another incarnation of the airport and they didn't show so I started again with the default. This is the result.

Lines are showing up OK at my test airport in FS9, so it is not a universal problem.

 

[GHD]

If I place them at the ARP, they show. So, it must be because they are about 1Km from the ARP.

 

[gadgets]

so I started again with the default

Not sure what you mean George. Did you create them from scratch?

Thanks, Tom. I can't duplicate the issue except in this particular circumstance either.

Distance (at least that short a distance) is not an issue. I'd suggest you look for an elevation issue. With this new information, my guess is that they are being drawn below ground level at the initial location.

[tgibson]

What is the ground elevation at the current ARP vs the elevation at the location of the line?

No, I added the polygon and line to the default airport.

So, are you saying that the default flatten is incorrect?

I thought you said you couldn't see them also

 

[GHD]

This is a default airport. TCalcx gives exactly the same elevation at the two positions.

I know nothing about your flattens

I thought you said you couldn't see them also

I did, that's why I suggested they may be being drawn below ground level.

Try increasing the elevation of your ARP to see if they appear.

[GHD]

I know nothing about your flattens

But, I did say that this is a default airport, so it is using the default flatten.

Try increasing the elevation of your ARP to see if they appear.

If I change the airport elevation, that will definitely conflict with the default flatten.

How about you start with the default EGKB and add a couple of GPs on the south apron?

 

[gadgets]

But, I did say that this is a default airport, so it is using the default flatten.

Mea culpa

If I change the airport elevation, that will definitely conflict with the default flatten.

I was simply suggesting that as a test to confirm whether or not you have a ground elevation issue.

Don

 

[GHD]

Something else for you to consider.

I created 4 instances of a polygon and line (including one at the ARP)

They all showed in FSX:





Without changing anything else, I deleted the 3 northern ones. The southern one doesn't show in FSX:





I then re-added those at the ARP and the southern ones display





Make of this what you will. It is repeatable.

 

[normandean]

I have just tried to replicate Georges findings at Biggin, using the default file, and I get exactly the same result.

Norman

 

[gadgets]

This is peculiar. The only reason I can imagine for the fourth disappearing when you delete the other three is that the fourth lies exactly on a 32-bit latitude bound of the file and there's a rounding issue.

Please send me the ADE3 file containing the four polys. (I need the exact locations of the polys) Please ensure the southern-most poly is in the exact location such that the problem occurs.

Also, please try the exercise again, but first move the southernmost poly a little bit north to see if that makes a difference.

Don

 

[GHD]

File attached.

Note, The southernmost GPs only appear when the GPs at the ARP are present.
