No Dirt taxiways

Postby TheEagle » Wed Dec 08, 2021 12:56 am

I've seen this at multiple airports, and now I'm experiencing this problem for the second time with an airport I build myself. Whenever you set the material type of a taxiway in WorldEditor to Dirt, then blow it through TerraGear, you end up with a rock-like texture in FlightGear, which is very annoying. Dirt runways do render fine. Is there anything I could be doing wrong, or is TerraGear / FlightGEar broken ? I am using 2020.4.0, but I experienced the same problem with 2020.3.6.

Another problem with self-built airports is that they sometimes have high walls in the terrain at the boundary - also rather ugly, but this problem I only have with self-built airports. How to fix that ? I have --max-slope=1 for genapts850, and tried nudge=0, nudge=1 and nudge=100 on both genapts and tg-construct.

@TheEagle, Need more information to be helpful.

It may be the regional settings. e.g. Africa renders "Dirt" as "Sand" or "Desert rock". Brazil can render it as brown gravel.
Have you confirmed that your apt.dat file has the proper surface code (i.e. taxiway surface = 4)?

Until now, I had this problem in Turkey, central Germany, and Nepal.
