I was wondering if anyone has experienced this (the red arrow in the screenshot is pointing to the problem). I have installed OrcusPatera on Mars in Orbiter 2024 and it looks great, except for a strange white square on one of the large pads. The odd thing is the other pad just like it is fine:

orcus.png

In the base config file, the definition for this pad is the same as the one next to it that looks fine.

Any ideas why the white square is there and how to get rid of it?
 
Here is a link to it if you can't see it here: Link

The only thing that stands out to me in the log is this, but I don't know what it means:

Okay, I figured it out. It has something to do with the SCALE parameters in the pad definitions.

Here's how it was defined originally:

LPAD2A ;pad arrow 07
POS 525 0 -1062
SCALE 1 1 1
ROT 150
NAV 126.70
END
LPAD2A ;pad arrow 08
POS -405 0 -1062
SCALE 0 0 0
ROT 150
NAV 126.80
END
LPAD2A ;pad arrow 09
POS -192 0 745
SCALE 0 0 0
ROT 150
NAV 126.90
END

I thought pads 8 and 9 were the two big ones in the front, which is why I said they were defined the same. It turns out pads 7 and 8 are the two in the front and pad 9 is the smaller one at the back. The issue is that the scale definition on Pad 07 is SCALE 1 1 1, whereas all the other pads have SCALE 0 0 0. I have no idea what the difference is between the two, but changing the scale on Pad 07 to SCALE 0 0 0 removed the white square.

As a test, I changed them all to SCALE 1 1 1 just to see what would happen and sure enough, this was the result: Link

I just downloaded OrcusPatera again from Pappy's Hangar to double-check and in there, pad 07 is defined as SCALE 0 0 0, so I guess I must have changed this at some point, but I don't remember doing that.

Anyway, problem solved. Thanks for the help guys.
 
Great. Too bad it needs 2 things that don't work in 2024 DeltaGlider IV and UCGO
