Phill Morgan 32 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hi Everyone, I'm not sure if this issue is my installation, or if it's being caused by TrueEarth GB Central. The lake at EGNM looks like it's been filled with cement. I've tried both a clean X-plane installation, and one full of environment addons such as xEnviro, and I always see this strange lake. It doesn't happen with rivers or seas. If I enable reflections I get a lake of what looks like liquid mercury. Any advice on where to start looking or is this really a bug? Many Thanks Phill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greg Jones 296 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hi, It's hard to tell what's happening there in a static image. Can you take a screenshot a bit closer and a different angle? Also at a different time of day (sun high in the sky)? Cheers, Greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phill Morgan 32 Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hi Greg Thank you for getting back to me. I tried reloading with the same settings again but I kept getting a CTD. So I reduced my texture quality slider from high to medium, and I've managed to get a much better scene. I think my preferences file must have been messed up somehow. This shot was taken just above ground level, you can see the grey appearing which "kind of" reflects the sky colours. Even this looks much better than the original.

Phill Morgan 32 Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 This was taken slightly higher up. Again, far better than the original. Happy to close this one as my own issue! Many Thanks Greg! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phil white 44 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 This lake is known locally as "Yeadon Tarn" as EGNM is in the Yeadon area. I know it well as i lived not too far from there for about 30 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulk 413 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Phil is correct I’ve walked around it many times. You actually have to look UP to see the aircraft on the runway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
