Why are Materials for the Azores applied in the Pyrenees ?

Postby TheEagle » Fri Aug 20, 2021 12:33 pm

I am using Flightgear 2020.4.0, and I have a problem with my materials definitions: the Materials/regions/azores.xml file is applied in the Pyrenees (southern France) ! I conclude that from the information the UFO displayed when I Ctrl+Alt+click some mountains in the Pyrenees. I did not change any of the Materials files, they are fresh from Git ! According to the coordinates specified in the azores.xml. it should never get applied in Europe ! What can I do ?

No, but the UFO displays something like "Azores: lon 0.6... lat 42.3... Default", and in the azores.xml, there is a Default material that is made to look like rock, and I Ctrl+Alt+clicked some rocky area.

I made a little script to display the areas covered by each XML file: https://github.com/Juanvvc/plot_regions Images are not updated to the last version of FGDATA, but to the version available some moths ago. I'm not aware of major changes lately in regions.

azores.xml is only applied on the Azores islands:

azores.xml only defines a region in the middle of the Atlantic: https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/fg ... azores.xml

I believe the message you saw must be something else.

Also, there are images showing which regions define a material. For Rock (the areas are drawn according to their priority)
