Rostov-on-Don AI elevation help

Featured Replies

I just installed custom scenery for Rostov-on-Don airport (URRR) in Russia. After installation I go to the airport and all my AI are floating above the ground. I was going to us the program Jabbl to change the AP file so my AI is not floating anymore. But when I went to look for the correct APxxxxx.bgl I couldn't find it. I thought I could use AFCAD to find it but URRR does not have a stock AFCAD. Does anyone know what APxxxxx.bgl file is for URRR? If I can't find the correct AP file is there another way to correct the floating AI?

Afcad showed it (URRR) to me and the Properties dialogue indicated it is located here:\Scenery\EURE\scenery\AP958150.BGLHope that helps. :(

Thanks. I wonder why it does not show the default URRR AFCAD for me? On my AFCAD it just shows the modified AFCAD.

Ok I figured out why the default URRR AFCAD was not showing up. I have another Russian scenery (the scenery is URKK Krasnodar) and in the read me file for that scenery it says to replace the AP958150.bgl and replace it with the new one in the URKK download.I put back the original AP958150.bgl and my AI at URRR is now fine and the default AFCAD shows up in the AFCAD. I guess I will save the new AP958150.bgl and only install it when I fly to/from URKK.

It is never a good idea to modify the AP* files, this will often lead to problems with other airports in the same file.To get your AI at the correct elevation of any airport where the add-on scenery is at a different altitude to the default one, simply copy the AFD file into another scenery directory which you can create (call it Elevation mods/scenery or something like that) and place it at an earlier priority that the AP file.I have set mine as the fourth layer:[Area.002]Title=Default SceneryActive=TRUELayer=2Local=Scenery\BASERequired=TRUE[Area.003]Title=AFD Elevation modsActive=TRUELayer=3Local=Addon Scenery\AFD Elevation mods[Area.004]Title=AfricaActive=TRUELayer=4Local=Scenery\AfriAI on the ground always sits at the level of the first-loaded AFD, so it simply needs to load before the default file.Best wishes,John
