P3Dv5.1 bugs on sloped airport

Post by mpni »

P3Dv5.1 Same elevation bugs on sloped airport in P3Dv5.1
When a runway or an apron is below the reference altitude of the airport :
- Progressive taxi arrow fly at the reference altitude of the airport
- Ground Poly fly at the reference altitude of the airport
- Helipad texture fly at the reference altitude of the airport
Hope you will fix that.
Best regards

Hi Rob
To see the problem you have to add an helipad on the runway, below the airport elevation at default LSGK.
You will see the texture flying.

But, I made a sloped airport at LFRL Lanveoc Poulmic using ADE.
Afcad has a taxipath and parkings.
So we can have progressive taxy arrows which are default in P3D.
have a look on these screenshoot :
Progressive taxy arrows are flying at the airport reference altitude.

We can observe the samething adding an heliport below the airport reference altitude.
The texture fly at the airport reference altitude.
Same if using Ground poly.

If you want, you can take this afcad for testing.

But, if you prefer, do the same each airport you want, using full afcad with parking, taxipath, helipad, under the airport reference altitude. have a look at progressive taxy arrows and helipad texture.
Better using the transposition (up) to see.

Hope that will help you.
Best regards

Hi Rob
Hope you were able to reproduce these bugs and fix them.
In the same time, if we can have some more realistic windsocks, it will be a great pleasure for us.
Best regards
