big negative TCAS numbers at EHAM

Featured Replies

Hi,When parked at a gate at Amsterdam Schiphol airport (EHAM) I get very big negative numbers in my SquawkBox TCAS screen. Other aircraft, as well the ones on the ground, as the ones in the air, are all at relative heights like -140911000... As soon as I am in the air, the numbers go back to normal values. I have not experienced this at other airports. I guess it might be caused by the fact that Schiphol airport (EHAM) is below sea level? Is that true and is there a solution for this artefact?I am using the Lago EHAM2002 scenery. Another strange thing is that I see other planes but I am not visible myself. This problem also disappears at other airports. Any ideas?.Regards,KiekEHAMhttp://home.planet.nl/~nwkaan

Hi,Could that be because TCAS is attempting a negative number (which looks like a very big positive one), because EHAM is below sea level?Regards,Jan van Bekkum
