Advice for Airport Elevation Problems

[admintca]

.

These can be caused by a number of things:

- Conflicting AFCADS (i.e. too many for the same airport)

- Incorrect airport elevations in an AFCAD

- Poor Flatten settings

- Conflicts with mesh and generic scenery addons like UTX, FSGlobal etc. in your specific area.

.... and some others too ;-)

Finding the culprit is a matter of trial and error.

Simple Airport Scanner. It is a nifty little tool that lets you find add-on airports in FS9/FSX and P3D. It will also identify where the same airport is in more than one bgl file.

It will identify addon airports and can be very useful for finding duplicates. It displays the results in a way that shows the priority order of loading in FS.

You can then deselect the 'other' files until you find which was causing the issue at your problem airport.

DO NOT delete them, I suggest temporarily renaming the file(s) one at a time to whatever.bgl.OFF then back again if it didn't cure the problem.



You can download it here:

or an earlier similar tool which does show default scenery - Airport Scanner:

If you have FTX GLOBAL VECTOR installed it is also worth using the "FTX GLOBAL VECTOR Configuration Tool" to disable the airport elevation for the airport you are having the problem with.



Have fun tweaking....
