Ultimate Terrain Canada-Alaska

[beroun]

Hi,

 

Following on my previous threat and for those with Ultimate Terrain Canada-Alaska add-on from Flight1.

Does the Vancouver YVR airport open for you without the FS shutting down?

Going to YVR shuts down my FS even after I cleared all my previous add-ons in this area. (CZBB, CYNJ and CYXX in the area

also shuts down my FS).

 

Thanks for any advise on possible conflicts.

Finally found out what caused YVR not to show up.

When I downloaded/purchased/installed UT Canada-Alaska from Flight1 it also installed part of UT USA - see below. Somehow this clashed with Canadian bgls. And was shutting down FS when I started or approached Vancouver. Disabling UT USA helped this and YVR is now open for traffic again.

Thanks for the HU Peter; it's good to get to the bottom of these pesky problems. (Duly copied and filed away for future reference.)

Yeah for some reason if you don't have USA UT you get that problem and I remember talk of a seasonal crash for the same reason. When you have both USA and Canada-AK there are no problems.

xtc,

It was exactly opposite in my case. The inclusion of the UT USA with UT Alaska-Canada was shutting my FS at YVR.

Must correct my below post.

UT Alaska-Canada from Flight1 downloaded with portion of UT-USA. When both active my FS shuts down around Vancouver. When I deactivate UT-USA portion of the download the Vancouver does not shut down my FS BUT!! the shorelines around Fairchild or Detroit (borders with Canada) are SQUARE.

So, currently have both active UT Alaska-Canada and the UT USA portion which came with it and unfortunately have to avoid Vancouver area to prevent my FS shut downs.

Perhaps the full UT-USA install would fix this problem, but got so many add-ons in the US, that I am but hesitant to install it?

 

PS saw the post in AVSIM forum about the same issue at Vancouver. FS shutting down. So perhaps a flaw in the UT download?

Gi'day Peter,

 

Re: Vancouver CTDs

 

Wondering if this could be the infamous UT seasonal (Fall) bug?

 

Try loading a flight with both UT sceneries (Canada-Alaska & USA) activated and set your date to sometime prior to September 20-21 or, alternatively, post December 20-21 (Northern Hemisphere autumn).

 

Also, saw your post on the Scenery Solutions forum ... check page 138 (27.10.2005) for discussion on the Fall bug.

Dorian

You hit the nail on the head Dorian,

YES, Vancouver with UT A/C opens in Spring, Summer and Winter!!

But still bit of a mystery. After opening airport in above three seasons, it now also opens in the Fall?

No complaints!

Cheers,

Gi'day,

 

Drilling down further, it appears the seasonal (Fall) bug may be the result of a typo in one line that calls the UT fall RailRoad textures.

 

One suggestion is to disable the option: Enhanced RR Textures.

 

Another is to check for any railroad files dated from March 2005 in the UT USA\Scenery files. If you find any, remove them (please, back them up ... just in case).

 

Regards,

Dorian

I remember there being this issue. I think in my case it had to do with Flightzone 02 portland messing with the water and turning it into squares.

Hi Dorian.

Actually (I guess instinct) I have disabled the RR option before I checked the fall seasonal bug. All OK now.

Cheers
