October 6, 201510 yr Hello All Strange happening at PAJN this morning. Flew out of KBFI with Airbus X A319 to ORBX PAJN and all went well with the flight until approach to PAJN runway 24. Seemed that there was a graphics malfunction and as the gear touched down, the runway disappeared and another runway appeared below causing plane to drop further and crash. The sim reset. Disappointed, I thought it was a fluke and reloaded the Carenado Phenom 100 at the same airport and found this that the airport was two levels. The plane is sitting on a hole in the ground (as if the immediate area has collapsed). For some reason I'm unable to post the screen shots I made but, for those of you that may have experienced the Saltan Sea disappearance on ORBX it's very similar. I had the problem in ORBX KPSP where, when flying south of the airport towards the Saltan Sea you would notice a gaping hole in the terrain where the sea should be. Crazy because in that case even the roads collapsed into the hole and traffic flowed right into it... Unfortunately, I can't remember what I did to fix that problem other than disable UTX. With that measure taken sometime ago I'm not sure what to do here. Has anyone experienced anything like this problem in ORBX/FTX? If so, how did you fix? Thanks
October 6, 201510 yr Two questions: 1. Do you have Orbx SAK (NA Southernn Alaska) installed? It is required for PAJN. 2. How did you configure your mesh resolution? It must be 5m.

October 6, 201510 yr Do you have an airport elevation correction for PAJN activated somewhere? Ethan Edelson
October 6, 201510 yr I am having similar problems with ORBX scenery recently and I think it started after installing Canada / Alaska. I have it at ORBX airports and default airports but its very random. I have run the Vector elevation tool multiple times but does not seem to help. Mark CYYZ
October 6, 201510 yr Author Do you have an airport elevation correction for PAJN activated somewhere? Not that I know of. Haven't flown to the airport in sometime so I don't know when the problem began. The last add-on I installed was the registered version of FSUIPC. There is an update in on the FTX site though. Going to try that and see what happens... I am having similar problems with ORBX scenery recently and I think it started after installing Canada / Alaska. I have it at ORBX airports and default airports but its very random. I have run the Vector elevation tool multiple times but does not seem to help. Hey Mark I also opened a post about the problem on ORBX support forum. Hopefully I will get some understanding and help. If so, I will post here...

October 7, 201510 yr If you have UTX Alaska-Canada, you need to use their Setup tool and "disable" the "reposition" airport. You may have to do that for other airports also. Pierre Pierre I9 14900K 5.5 64gb ram 6800 RTX5090 Asus Strix Gaming E

October 7, 201510 yr Known issue when you try to run FTX SAK and UTX Alaska there is a fix on the orbx forum. Bruceb Bruce Bartlett Frodo: "I wish none of this had happened." Gandalf: "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."

October 7, 201510 yr Now that the primary issue has been resolved, can we talk about... Flew out of KBFI with Airbus ... This statement sent chills up and down my spine. The mere thought of an Airbii at Boeing Field is heresy. Tower would never give you clearance to land and if you did anyway, the locals would commandeer your plane and disassemble it for scrap before the exhaust nozzles cooled. An Airbus at BFI, not on my watch. regards, Joe Disclaimer: all previous comments were made in jest. The best gift you can give your children is your time.
