Tile border error #65

Open Colins2 opened 3 years ago

Colins2 commented 3 years ago

Hi, I'm trying to flatten a runway in a newly created airport where the boundary is just inside the tile boundary and I am getting Error code -4 saying a longitude is out of range. The longitude is within the tile border but only just. Can you look at the attached files please. muxp.log

Talasea-apt-area.muxp.txt

NB I had to append .txt to the muxp filename in order to upload it, the file picker won't accept .muxp extensions

Hi Colin, Well the definition of the tile is wrong according to X-Plane requirements. You use:

tile: -05+150 area: -5.292985 -5.253746 150.000048 150.017695

The tile is always rounded down. So for the area which is about -5.2 you need to round down to -06. So you could try again with: tile: -06+150 and see if it works.

Was this automatically created? Then I would need to correct it...

Hi, My mistake! I created the file myself. What threw me was the error message saying longitude error, when in fact it was a latitude error. That's why I didn't see it! It worked after changing the Tile No. in the muxp file but it generated an enormous amount of triangles. The log file was over 43mb. I guess because it is right on the tile boundary. The terrain is pretty flat around there but the runway had a lot of undulations which is what I wanted to flatten. I will try different settings.

Re the other query about the airport, I'll try and find the thread and contact the creator.

Thanks Colin

Ok. So I need to update the error message.
