Elevation issue

Post by donkey20048 » Sun Jan 15, 2017 6:06 pm

hi all
I have an issue with elevation where there are massive areas of ground above where it should be e.g at thew gates etc and before anyone links me to another topic i have read them all and can confirm i have the amsterdam airport in the library above the LC. I also confirm i have the AFX_EHAM_flytampa_dummy.bgl in D:\Lockheed MartinPrepar3D v3\Scenery\World\scenery

i also have FTX global and base and vector and have confirmed i have used the vector airport elevation correction aurto configuration tool and applied after running it.

i am at a loss of what i can do

I notice if i do delete the LC from my library there are no issues but as soon as the LC gets added to the library and placed below the airport that is when the elevation happens

hope someone can help

thanks

Could you please post a shot of your scenery library, just to be sure it's all as it's supposed to be?
thanks

thanks..i was hoping there would be a problem there :)
Have you run a quick search for *EHAM and see if you find any other duplicate active files within your P3D root folder?

Yes no duplicates I also have that dummy bgl file in the world scenery folder and nothing on ftx vector is interfering with it

I am sorry I cannot offer too much help at the moment; I will look into installing your FTX add-ons to see which of those causes the issue as I am pretty sure the problem lies somewhere there.

There are a couple of users with FTX/ORBX stuff installed, who have similar elevation issues, so my guess is the problem/conflict exists somewhere there, since it appears to work fine on clean install (ie prior FTX). I am not sure why other FTX users dont have the same issue/perhaps some installation problem in some setups? Will have to check further.

also, any mesh addons?

btw, could you please post a quick shot of how the airport looks at your sim?
might be useful for FTX people if it comes to that.

The only issue I had was with flytampa eham and the LC for eham but as soon as put this in the clean scenery cfg it was ok but for some reason had to add them all manually by typing the info other then that not sure what cause the problem
