Title: Sunken tires
Post by: cj3737 on November 13, 2014, 11:01:41 pm

Having an issue with the aircraft tires being sunk into the ground at DFW on P3D v2.4
When I initially load DFW, the aircraft is sitting fine until the last layer loads (the layer with the taxi line) then it looks like the layer is bisecting the tire.
I have all the new updates for KDFW, add-on manager, GSX and so on.  All fresh downloads as of about a week ago.
I do have FTX Vector installed and have listed DFW as an AEC "exempt" airport.  That fixed the other terrain issue I was having but not the tires.
I have tried a fresh install of DFW and add-on manager and a computer reboot with no luck.  I have also tried to put KDFW at the top of the scenery library but no change. 

Anything else I can try to fix this issue?

This has been already discussed in this same section, here:

The original poster said he fixed it, but it hasn't said how. Note that, a *certain* amount of sunken tires (how much, depends where you are located on the airport) is inevitable, because how the scenery ground is made so, it's difficult to say if what you are seeing is the normal thing, or something else which would be a problem that needs fixing.

Not as drastic with the Airbus but still there...

Your screenshots shows exactly the very small raising of ground polygons that is entirely normal, and not really noticeable (surely not with airplanes that usually go to KDFW), and that's how the scenery is supposed to look like.
