hi, I was just happy to test the fresh airport and the rebuilt tile I've made with taxidraw and terragear. But... at the first passing by above the airport I hit an invisible hill/thing! Hopefully, it's safer in real life :)
Well, first, I didn't noticed it with the ufo but now I can see the agl prop falling to negative values in a particular place of the airport with the ufo too. I Really don't know what's going on here, it's just like a step and narrow hill, or a magical medium sized skyscraper :) Here a couple of screen shoots: http://croo.murgl.org/fgfs/scenery/knid-invisible-hill.jpg http://croo.murgl.org/fgfs/scenery/knid-thing.jpg On the first picture the A-10 is crashed at '2 ft agl', above the round aprom (otogon shape made of several pieces of runway), in fact the agl at this location should be 250 ft. On the second picture, I tried to point at the thing location with the ufo's mouse click. Did any one 'see' such a thing happen before? I tried to 'see' the exact surface of the thing with the ufo but the props are refreshing very slow and the ufo moves rather fast for that, even with [] dimmers. Does anyone have and idea on how to investigate? Further more, it looks like being a weird 3D shape (spooky shape, potato shape...) in space and it's more easy to get into it while being 60/120 ft above the 'expected' ground than at 15 ft. I also suspect that the agl is rather disturbed by the thing than reflecting the actual distance above/under it. I didn't try to catch it at more than 250 ft 'expected agl'. I can prepare a set of file of the airport and the tile, if any one wants to take a look at this, feel free to ask :) Note: I don't know if it's related to this invisible thing, but once I did get a bunch of warnings like: Warning:: Picked up error in TriangleIntersect (-0.016116 0.006676 0.019626, -0.019361 0.0075 0.007711, -0.02095 6 0 0.007711) (nan, nan, nan) Warning:: Picked up error in TriangleIntersect (-0.016116 0.006676 0.019626, -0.020956 0 0.007711, -0.017444 0 0.01 9626) (nan, nan, nan) Warning:: Picked up error in TriangleIntersect (-0.012335 0.012335 0.019626, -0.014818 0.013858 0.007711, -0.01936 1 0.0075 0.007711) (nan, nan, nan) ...pages and pages of this, but only once while trying to dive slowly into it with the ufo. At this time, the fps felt from 110 to 1 or 2. Other screen shoots of the airport and the buildings, just for fun: http://croo.murgl.org/fgfs/scenery/knid-h1.jpg http://croo.murgl.org/fgfs/scenery/knid-h2-h3.jpg http://croo.murgl.org/fgfs/scenery/knid-h3.jpg http://croo.murgl.org/fgfs/scenery/knid-overall.jpg Anyway, I just can speculate on what the thing could be and I would really appreciate some help or advices.
