Kim,Looks to me like you might have a conflicting flatten in layer 58, Flatten.0 looks to overlap the flatten you wrote for KNGU. I can't see the area number because this forum will not display [or anything between them] unless you check the message format "Check here if you want to format your message in plain text. Use for posting code snipets." box when you post.Try disabling the scenery area and see if it helps.

>>You are familiar with the piers?Spent a lot of time there in the 70s, mainly pier 25.scott s..

Try disabling (unchecking) those three Carrier entries. I seem to remember a carrier package a few years ago (Pacific Northwest area) which made drastic changes to the default terrain and thus I could not use it. Perhaps the same gremlin is at work here. Also remove (if it is still there) the flatten line you entered.Also uncheck the CVN Flatten files as part of this experiment.Keep us posted please.

Argh. #### I hate it when something gets fixed and you dont know why. Sure enough, when i unchecked all 3 carrier sceneries and the flatten entries, the airport was normal. 21.6' on the grass.So I added them back one by one. Carrier 3 was the issue.So I looked at the flatten lines in the scenery.cfg and saw one close to the airport and I edited the lat/long using points from Fsnav. No luck, when re-cecking the carrier3 scenery, the issue still there.So I deleted the flatten line altogether and re-numbered them.No luck.So, I figured I'd have a look at the files IN the carrier3 folder and maybe there was an offending.bgl. I ended up removing ALL the files from carrier 3 and ALL the flatten lines form the cfg.No luck.So I removed the scenery from the list within FS. Then replaced all the bgl.s. Then added the scenery back again within FS.Now its fixed. Dammit. WTH fixed it?Many thanks for your patience and perseverance.I guess the moral is find the offending scenery, remove it from the scenery list within FS and then add it back.Thanks again, hope this helps someone else..

That IS great news!While we may never understand exactly what fixed it, it may be that the simple process of removing and then adding them back into the Scenery Library changed their priority enough to create the "fix".Thanks for letting us know the results.

PS -I would be interested in auditioning those carrier packages you have installed.Can you provide the filename(s) and where you got them?Thanks in advance.

>>Now its fixed. Dammit. WTH fixed it?>Glad it's sorted. I was wondering about that KORF scenery and d/led it to take a look, but the flatten in that one was well to the east of NGU. I assumed that those carrier sceneries were payware.scott s..

Whew, Dave that may a task for my memory. Let me think about it for a bit and I'll PM you. I try to get most all of the military stuff I can get my hands on. I need to look around a bit at some boxes/discs and see what they may be. Then I'm sure I D/L'd stuff too. I think I have all the Flight Deck stuff up through 5. They might have been it. Then i did buy the Big "E" from Alpha. And I believe that it was one of the flatten files at those DDS piers just to the west of NAS that was the culprit.My FS install is at least 4 years old, maybe more. So I have forgotten more than I remember, sorry. I am so embedded into my simpit (see below) that is setup for FS9, I cant bring myself to install X yet. Computers to run it are cheap enough, its just all the add-ons.It always comes down to the add-ons doesnt it? LOLThanks again..http://eecherrors.homestead.com/monitor3.jpghttp://eecherrors.homestead.com/DCP_1790.JPG

I hope you realize that you just "ruined my day" with those great pictures of your cockpit setup!I'm Soooooooooooooooooo jealous!

Greetings Kimchoc- looks like we might have "Opa" as another convert to multi monitors!!Alex Reid

You just have to get started. Like this:http://eecherrors.homestead.com/updown.jpgThen keep adding like this:http://eecherrors.homestead.com/quad.jpghttp://eecherrors.homestead.com/ap_panel_install.jpghttp://eecherrors.homestead.com/newpanel.jpghttp://eecherrors.homestead.com/latestpic2.jpg1/4" luan Ply. Seat from junkyard. Switches from Radio shack and a USB thingy for the panels. Probably less than 150.00 in materials for all.And some imagination.. which is free...

The one thing you failed to mention is how to deal with the little woman (my bride of 53 years) who thinks I already spend far too much time simming.With a multi monitor - cockpit setup - she would never see me!

David- My bride of 52 years thinks simming is OK- keeps me from bugging her about supper!!!I worked a deal- she got the spare room for sewing: my sim is tucked behind the door in the master bedroom! Must be true love.Alex Reid
