Hi everyone,
I have FlightGear 2017.3.1 installed on two machines, one with Windows 10 (nVidia GeForce 6600 GT) and the other is a MacOSX Sierra (Intel Iris 6100 graphics).
I'm experiencing the same problem in both machines. So, I'm posting it here and not in the Windows or Mac specific forums.
I'm automatically downloading scenery through TerraSync.
So, the problem is that most airports (the vast majority of them) are downloaded with only their floor and ground tiles being mapped. Their walls or buildings don't appear at all. Please, see this image of London Heathrow:
London Heathrow (EGLL)
Brazil's Guarulhos (SBGR)
These images show planes parked at Gates. So, the airport walls (and fingers) should be in the areas ahead of them. But they're not. They're also not in any place around the planes.
Besides using TerraSync, I've also tried manually downloading and installing the desired scenery tiles. I've also tried to download custom 3rd party-made airports.
All options leave most airports without their walls, as can be seen in the images that I provided.
What am I doing wrong?
Is this a known bug?
Is there some log file or anything else that I could provide in order to help you understand the problem and maybe point me to the right direction?
Are there known workarounds for this issue?
How can I solve this?
Thank you for any replies.
