All the hills round my home airfield have gone....the terrain is flat. They were there 2 days ago. The whole countryside looks flat too.
What do I edit in FS9.cfg to get them back?
Thanks.

Its "England" Gypsy!... Grin

...!

Its always "flat" in the Sim... Cry

...

..and Bournemouth isn't very far above Sea level anyway!

The Flight Sim scenery designers never did come to England to have a peek at it, so they made it....FLAT!.... Grin

...!

Its one of the reasons why I don't "fly" it...My part of the English Sim countryside is nothing like it is in real life!
The default Sim scenery mesh for Great Britain is not very well represented.
Mesh selections from here...>>> http://simviation.com/1/browse-Terrain+Mesh-40-0 improve it slightly.

There were hills here 2 days ago....I could look across from rw01 at Ibsley & see Battle HQ on the N-S hills on the left. This morning it's a flat as can be...

Have you added any new scenery or the like?

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Have you removed all the traffic BGL files from the Scenery/World/scenery folder? That flattens part of the Pacific Islands.

I've just been adding nissen huts, etc, to communal sites in the vicinity of the airfield perimeter....nothing's been removed.
I changed TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=19 to 21 & that changed hills, etc elsewhere but not at the location in question....oh well, very strange!

What program are you use to add them? Which ever it is, maybe try removing them and see if the hill show back up.

Since Hyneman lamented the strange absence of fan visiting in the last special... or was in on the net... you could very well go there and pester them, if you live anywhere near S. Francisco. Wink

Even before knowing the odd dearth of visitors there, I decided that should I ever find myself in the States and anywhere near California, I will go visit the guys for sure. Cheesy

There is no such a thing as overkill. Only unworthy targets.
