P3D v4 [Solved] Flatten area has one big mountain in middle of airport

[MANOCHVARMA RAMAN]

Hi,

I have made my airport surrounding area flatten. But it has a mountain in middle (refer the images below):

,
in Sim P3D v4.5:

Hope someone could help.

Thank you.

This may be a water polygon of wrong or different height. The problem can be solved by excluding the water polygon

Could you please guide me where can find that exclusion? I never used that before.

And a other thing,the airport is on the wrong position,it need at last about 250 a 300 M direction NO,see Google map.

And take look here they working on the same airport https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/help-with-terrain.445543/

At least I can try it

Start the ADE first and navigate to where the terrain anomaly is.
Then draw a polygon with the polygon tool in the ADE:

After the polygon is drawn, you have to double-click with the mouse and in the opening folder dialog choose the desired options:

That was all. After compiling the airport into a BGL file, there should be another file next to your ADE file. The file carries something in the name. ".. cvx.bgl". This file contains the exclusion polygon, the file must be copied to your Scenery folder (where your ADE file is located).

Try that and see how far you get with the info

Ah its me. Yes since its already posted here. Can the mods delete mine instead to reduce redundancy.

have tried this. But the mountain is still visible there.

For those interested in helping. You guys can take a look at the files. Any help is appreciated.

Regards.

- maybe the polygon is too small and you have to select a larger area?
- maybe it's not a water polygon, but a river?


There are various water features that cause the anomaly and need to be excluded. I can explain the principle how to exclude something. It's up to you to try it out

Somewhat fix the triangular hill. I note everytime i hit compile on ADE an extra bgl file " WBMU_ADEP4_ADE_ALT.bgl" at Scenery\World\scenery is autogenerated. Removing that file seems to fix the weird hill.

You probably did not!
Make sure you move the airport like Jan (F70) said to its correct coordinates.
Next thing to do is to get rid of the default background flatten by "exclude specific\ airport backgrounds flatten", then add your new flatten and make sure that the 'stub' (the ALT.bgl) is in your scenery\world\scenery.
And like Christian said, make sure that both the excludes and the flattens are big enough to cover the completely wrong FSX/P3D default airport.
It sometimes takes a lot of work to make things right.

Thanks for the input, yes i have identified which exclude to use and have reintroduced the ALT.bgl resulting in no more weird terrains.

Also how to shift the entire airport i saw some recommending s builder x to reference satelite image but i have little to no knowledge on how to use it. This is one of the few south east asian sceneries i have been waiting for payware release for years but it never happened was hoping someone more experience would do it.

I have uploaded the file for those interested in further developing this scenery. Yes actually coordinates is not correct but i will try to slowly study on how to relocate the positioning.

Regards.

ADE can move a whole airport if you have a ProKey.

Slight update. I have somewhat moved the location of the scenery. For those interested in further ammending.
