Flight1 Ground Environment 2006

Anyone else using Flight1 Ground Environment 2006?

It is a vast improvement texture and autogen-wise, but I find one problem. It doesn't know where the shoreline is. The Queen Mary and tankers in and around Long Beach, CA are on land. There are cruise ships on land in Miami, FL. Shore lines hace sawtoothed edges and there are now square ponds. 😳

Anyone else seeing this?

Hm, I use GE and it works fine. Sounds like some caching issue. Try not using the no-cd crack (if you're using it) or reloading the textures (or both)?

I emailed the developers. If they've heard from anyone with the same problem, they should be able to let me know. I also offered to provide them with screen shots if it will help them analyze the problem. It is certainly the most resource-friendly scenery enhancement I've tried.

This should at least prove I haven't lost all of my mind. 😂

I had that problem when - before my new full reinstall - I had the minimum installation and used "new" textures without the CD in the drive. Had the exact same thing. Using CD4 and no crack restored everything to order. Other than that, can't help, sorry =/

I'll give it a try. Thanks.

I believe I have found the problem. It is a little different than the one you experienced.

Mine only effects the US. The most likely cause is that the uninstallation of Ultimate Terrain USA hung. That happened just before I installed GE 2006.

The coasts of England, Japan, and Madagascar all look correct.

Now, if I can figure out how to adjust the US, it will be fine. Anyone with a suggestion is welcome to reply.

Run Ultimate Terrain and choose "restore default textures"? Then install GE over that.

I was thinking of doing that, but since it is patially uninstalled, I will have to reinstall it and then do as you suggest. I just want to think it through first before I break things further. 🙄

Don't worry about it. There will always be a few people I wish hadn't paid their $5.00. Twisted Evil

Besides, if that's what makes him happy, I feel sorry for him that he doesn't have a life. Or not. 😂

Just a quick question if you don't mind Grash, Have you got the latest update?

The current release version is: 1.05.

Maybe. But, since Bindolaf's idea of restoring the original textures with Ultimate Terrain USA and then applying Ground Environment 2006's textures, turns out to have cured the problem, I'm afraid tiger7881 will be very sad now. Someone ought to cheer him up. Tongue Tongue Tongue Tongue Twist Tongue Twist Tongue Twist ROFL ROFL ROFL

I'm getting it now since it was just released. It turns out that either UT USA or something interacting with it, is the culprit. GE doesn't change landclasses.

Now that I know how to solve the problem, I will tinker with adding a few of UT USA's fetures in and see what happens.

No, it's not just you. One would think that more 'mature' members would by now have figured out that by their constant bickering they are only fuelling the fire.

Deep-seated anger, frustration and immaturity are the causes for this childish behaviour.

I received my BA in psychology in 1964. When did you get yours?

Getting back on topic. The problem occurred because UT USA has some options to modify landclasses , enhance coastlines and "fix" improperly located FS objects.

This appears to allow GE 2006 to place textures where they don't belong. By turning of UT's landclass and relocation/coast enhancements, I was able to get UT and GE to play nice.

You apparently have some insight (the word, not the forum member) I sure don't.😉

Thanks. I just flew from KMIA to KIAD and with the exception of a few roads sticking out into the ocean for 100 ft. or so, all is well. That kind of thing is expected when UT and MS can't agree on the shape of the world. 😂
