KMEM problem with terrain

**071954** · 08-21-2006, 12:36 PM

Hello all,
Has anyone else noticed the strange mountain just southwest of KMEM?
I noticed it before when I had Vladimir Svoboda's excellent KMEM installed and I thought it may have been a strange problem with it. But I have a new installation on a new computer and I thought I would check it out before reinstalling the scenery. It appears to be in the default.
I have Ultimate Terrain, FS Genesis terrain and landclass installed.
Thanks,
Kevin

I wish I had a quarter for every time one of these things pops up. On saturday, flyin gout of kpdx, I noticed a row of pyramids parallel to the runways that I had not noticed before. does your prob go away if you uninstall kmem?

There was a file by Joshua Robertson - sixdeffx on Flightsim.com; six_default_fixes.zip on Avsim.com - last updated in August 2004, which corrected a terrain error near KMEM - actually closer to MS65 airport.

Your picture looks like that anomoly with a better mesh than the default.

Hi Kevin,
Memphian here... That anomaly is a default terrain glitch.
There are, as mentioned already, several patches to remove it and several other anomalies. But if you are using UT, then it is much enhanced if you also use any of the freeware 38m mesh sceneries. Doing so makes UT's rivers line up with the mesh valleys. It also squashes those default terrain glitches.

Terrain mesh can have its own problems and anomalies, of course, but overall it is one of the best terrain enhancements. Especially at that price. I use FSGenesis. My frequent co-pilot uses Raimondo's (hope I spelled that right). Terrain mesh is the LAST scenery enhancement that I would give up.

Thanks guys, I remember that patch for six faults, I haven't installed it in this edition. I wouldn't worry about it but I can see it from Memphis and I like to watch the FedEx traffic come in.:-)

Thanks, Kevin
