YAYE Surface Types

Post by thehall42 » Wed Apr 08, 2020 4:34 am

I'm having issues with the surface types on the apron and taxiways at YAYE. When taxiing in any aircraft, dirt plumes appear behind tires and there is significantly more ground friction. These are the same effects you would experience when taxiing on a piece of regular terrian ie a field or non-taxiway surface at an airport. See the image for details.

I've tried re-installing and deleting the xml file and have experimented with different positions within the P3D addon scenery layering with no success. Any ideas?

Back then, when we created the scenery, we decided it would be more realistic for this airport to have lots of sand on the apron and runway than to have perfectly clean surfaces. FSX/P3D does not allow to create solid but dirty surfaces, so we decided to use dirt.

Right, understood. It's only been recently that this has been happening, upon first install of the product in March last year there were no dirt textures on the apron at all. I've looked at a bunch of recordings from other simmers online and have not seen these effects anywhere else.

Is there a way to remove them or change the texture type from my end?

You can use this AFD file (please backup the original 'AFX_YAYE.bgl'). It should do the trick.
