Hi roswell. First of all I had to do a little detective work to see your shots. The path is case sensitive. This is how it should look. [url]http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/Image 1.jpg[/url]
Image 1 is not exactly uncommon & could overwrite an existing image. It's best to use a unique file name with no spaces.

Now for your macro problem. I'm no expert scenery designer but I have messed around with FSSC since it was first released. it looks to me that either the default mesh or ground poly is showing the through the hangar floor. You mention adjusting the altitude. I would have thought raising the altitude of the hangar very slightly relative to the airport would fix it. Please tell me if this helps.

Hi roswell. I was thinking of elevating it by something like 0.1 feet or less. Just enough to raise it off the offending poly. 1 foot would be quite a big jump & obviously cause problems. There are various scenery design tutes posted on different sites. FSSC is well supported & the latest version includes some good basic examples & tutes. You can also get help straight from the horse's mouth (Derek Leung himself) on the FSSC Support Forum. http://fssc.avsim.net/

PS. Oops. I see you've already been there. Tell me where to find this hangar macro & I'll mess around with it myself.

Hey Fireman old buddy. How are you & where have you been?  
I was hoping you would show up to give me some much needed support. You have much more experience with scenery design than me. I'm only a tweaker where this stuff is concerned.  

Best regards
Doug

Hi roswell, hi all

We've all been there I'm afraid when we start with FSSC and Airport. Most of the macros that come with both progs are old (FS98??) and many give the problem you've found. They are great when you are learning but when you begin to make 'serious' scenery you have to discard quite a few and either search and download replacements or make your own using eg EOD. I've found even some 3rd party objects like radio towers have flickering bases that you just can't get rid of by playing around with alts.

I think I know the one and you'll probably find that the hangar with the problem isn't even texturised - it just has solid colours for the sides and roof which emphasises the 'old' point.

So what can you do? Not a lot apart from what I've said. You still seem to be a bit of a novice with the scenery design so my advice is (with respect and the best possible intentions) use this stuff to learn. Don't expect 'professional' results just yet. As you become more proficient and critical of your own work you will make demands on yourself and learn how to create your own stuff that doesn't have the problems you are talking about.

Sorry I can't be more helpful to give you a quick fix - but that's scenery design for you
