Surround Textures problem @ KSDF
« on: April 08, 2018, 07:57:46 pm »
Hello,

I just took of facing west and spotted this:

I use full orbx products for North America, so not sure if its a blending issue with landclass textures.  Hope it can be corrected somehow...

It's not an issue or a bug, at a certain point, the higher resolution textures around the airport will end, and the underlying scenery will continue from that.

I understand, so higher resolution textures will mitigate it, right?

I will try as indicated in the manual:

"Keep the “Mesh Resolution” slider at 5m/pixel, and the “Mesh Complexity” slider at 100. With less resolution, some visual problems might appear. With some 3rd party add meshes, there might be visual problems if you set the mesh resolution too high"

Thanks...  8)

The mesh resolution controls only the precision of the 3d contours, nothing to do with textures.

As I've said, the difference in quality will always be there because at a certain point the higher resolution ground textures will end, and the photorealistic background will take over. So, if it's the transition that is annoying you, you should LOWER the texture resolution (not the Mesh resolution, the max Texture size) but, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to lower the quality of the whole airport, so that it would blend better with the surrounding area.
