Bugs, Issues And Annoyances, Tell us what's up Options

[Timmo]

This thread has been set up this thread so you can let us know of any issues that you may be having with the various components of VLC- As an ongoing project and given the complexity of FSX, it's possible that there are small errors or omissions that are affecting your experience of VLC. Some issues are simply due to the way FSX displays data (and so may not be able to be fixed). Some issues may be caused by limitations in the data itself (which could be fixed given enough community demand). Some issues may be caused by other addon packages or the interaction between them. However, all are important as we want to do our best to ensure that VLC gives you maximum enjoyment -So let us know on this thread and we will do our best to sort them out.

A lot of the initial issues with VLC V1.00 have been fixed in the V1.01 patch so, as a first step, please ensure that you have installed this patch (this step is only needed for those that purchased their copy of VLC before 20th December 2011) - See here for instructions for downloading the patch from the Windowlight store.


(Please note this thread will be getting edited and trimmed to remove discussion in diagnosing problems after we have found a fix/work around)

Known Issues to be fixed in the next patch:

* VLC Config tool doesn't switch off the 'veg_palm1.dds' texture due to missing definition in the config.xml file.


Known Issues fixed in the V1.01 patch:

Other issues (which aren't caused by VLC or can be fixed by the user)

Issue: Milford sound airport sits on a large plateau
Cause: The option to install the Milford Sound Fix was un-ticked when you installed VLC. This option provides a basic fix for Milford Sound which was incorrectly placed by Microsoft due to an errant default DTM in this area.
Fix: Either reinstall VLC and ensure the 'Fix Milford Sound' is ticked on OR download and install HardCorePawns/Creators Milford Sound X V3 (http://nzff.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=12730&pid=8266062&st=0&#entry8266062)

Issue: Milford Sound has strange elevations spikes around the airport or cut terrain/excluded water.
Cause: This is caused by conflicts between the VLC milford fix and HardCordPawns/Creators MilfordX. There should only be one version of Milford Sound installed by the user.
Fix:If you had previously installed HardCorePawn and Mike/Creators2003 Milford SoundX please uninstall it and install the new version (http://nzff.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=12730&pid=8266062&st=0&#entry8266062).
