Toronto (CYYZ) Jetways Appear Cutoff

Featured Replies

Hello:

 

I just got around to installing an older FS9 scenery for CYYZ (CYYZ_2007_V1).  The scenery looks real nice except that the jetways appear as if they are cutoff or "sunken" into the tarmac!  Please see the link below.  Has anyone used this scenery?  How can I fix it?

 

Thanks for any help!

It looks like the apron elevation might be off in the scenery. The ai are OK but the terminal buildings and attached gates appear cut-off by the apron. Are runway items OK?

 

You would need an airport scenery editor to check this.

 

Search for a fix in the libs here.

This addon looks OK for me, I think you have another addon for this airport installed.

 

Possibly one that installed a "stub" Afcad in ...\Scenery\World\scenery

Thanks for your response! 

 

What is a "stub" afcad?  I checked in \scenery\World\scenery for any "cyyz" related bgls and found nothing.  Looks like I may have to try to manually fix the airport elevation or try another scenery entirely.  The aircraft in the screenshot was my default cessna and not an AI aircraft.

Do you have any other addons for the area?

 

Any addon mesh?

 

Stub Afcads are airport elevation correction files that are typically placed in ...\Scenery\World\scenery so that AI will respect the elevation change.

 

Somewhere you have a conflicting file or a modified default file that has altered the airport flatten.

 

With the plane (C172) located in the screenshot location, what is the Shift+Z elevation?

Joe

I got it fixed!  Apparently this scenery required the installation of Flight Ontario's General Toronto Area scenery.  I downloaded and installed this package and the elevation issue was fixed.  The readme never explictly stated that the Ontario scenery was required, but only alluded that it would work with it.  By the way the Shift-Z elevation is 572.7 ft which was the Ontario scenery as well.  I am good to go!

 

Thanks!
