July 18, 201510 yr Hello everyone, I've been having elevation issues with some airports in Prepar3D v2.5. I have ORBX FTX Global and FTX Global Vector installed, and I have ran the AEC program. An example of what I am seeing is here : http://prntscr.com/7u4jgt It appears that some aprons show up but the taxiway detail doesn't - just the lines show. I went to AEC to disable the airport but I found out that the airport was not listed at all. Is there any way I can fix this? Thank you!
July 18, 201510 yr As neither product includes mesh, I don't think that is where the problem is. If that is an addon scenery then it may be missing the correct DrawSurface all flag, which would mean it isn't a P3D compliant scenery. http://www.prepar3d.com/forum-5/topic/taxiways-disappeared-on-custom-airports/
July 18, 201510 yr Author Thanks for the info - I actually just uninstalled Vector and Global, and the problem still seems to persist. The sceneries that are causing the problems are indeed addon sceneries that are freeware. The sceneries seem to work completely fine on my other computer which uses FSX, and the sceneries also used to work completely fine in P3D v2.
July 18, 201510 yr In previous versions of P3D maybe, but things have changed. As these are addon sceneries it is almost certain that the developers have fixes or updates for the trouble. If they don't then as we've advised on many, many occasions, do not use non-compliant FSX products in P3D.
July 18, 201510 yr Author Ok, that helps. Another problem now...I have ORBX's KSEZ installed, and it also appears to have some elevation issues - it's not that taxiways aren't showing or anything, but some parts of the airport have different elevations. This is also the latest version, so is there anything that could be causing that? FTX Global and Vector are not installed.

July 18, 201510 yr Download ADE 1.65 and recompile the scenery. That should make the taxiways re-appear. Philip LaBianca _____________________ "I think, therefore I am."
July 18, 201510 yr Author Ok, I'll try that for the other airports - thank you! But there still is that problem with some payware sceneries where the elevation differs throughout the airport. This is what I'm seeing with ORBX's Sedona ; http://prntscr.com/7u61ve
July 18, 201510 yr No problem. As with your issue in ORBX Sedona, I'm sorry, but I don't know how to fix that... I don't use vector. However, I've seen similar problems before. I think it's caused by vector's elevation numbers being off or something. Philip LaBianca _____________________ "I think, therefore I am."
July 18, 201510 yr Author I've actually fixed it now, I think I switched the order with land classes. All of my problems are fixed now, I really appreciate your help! Thank you.
July 20, 201510 yr FTX Central V2 has a tool that will check your FTX scenery library entries to make sure they are in the correct order. The FTX Libraries should always be the last thing installed after anything FTX so the libraries can be updated and then Central always runs so you can select Global or Regional areas as needed.
August 16, 201510 yr I have such problems with any mesh, who knows how to fix it: http://www.avsim.com/topic/469817-airport-elevations-plateau/?p=3277800 ?
