Airport elevation

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

Just did a short flight into Tenerife and was greeted with this. Any ideas? (I have base, vector and openLC europe installed)

 

Thanks,

Rich

Have you run AEC?

Many thanks for your help. I have ran AEC again and nothing changed.

 

However, I added the airport to "AEC is disabled" side and all working fine again now.

 

So all resolved!

 

Many thanks,

Rich

Rich, can you kindly elucidate what exactly is AEC? I'd like to get this.

 

Thanks.

Rick, AEC stands for Airport Elevation Control and is a tool that is included with ORBX Vector. So, if you own Vector then you already have it.

Yes, it's a funny thing that sometimes elevation is fixed by choosing the `disabled` option for the area in question.

Sorry for the late reply - I've been on holiday. Yes it is odd but at least its now fixed!

Thanks for that reply---but I do not have ORBX's Vector, so I guess does not matter.

From one problem to another - I was having this elevation problem at Rome (LIRA) Airport too. Now fixed by disabling it but now cannot use GSX at that airport. Any ideas how I can fix that? Thanks
