Hello

 

Has anyone experienced this and could you advise please.

 

My FSX Acc system has been fine for 4 years, but suddenly I'm finding that when I load any aircraft at any airport it loads partially submerged below the scenery.

 

This is not specific to any brand of airport addon scenery. They all were fine but now all behave the same.

 

This doesn't apply though if i load a saved flight. 

 

Also, recently purchased Aerosoft scenery, MalagaX & ValenciaX for example now has floating buildings.

 

Any ideas please?

 

Thanks in anticipation

You've not changed the terrain mesh have you?

Thanks for responding Mark,

 

Not knowingly. How would I do that?

 

What's strange is my saved flights load above ground ok. It's loading an aircraft?location/time?weather fresh from the FSX screen that results in the problem.....

I don't think a "saved" flight accounts for any new scenery installed or "accidental" changes you've made

after the saved flights were saved.

Also, recently purchased Aerosoft scenery, MalagaX & ValenciaX for example now has floating buildings.

 

Hmmmm.....I have no problems with Malaga or Valencia. Have you added any other payware or freeware recently?

Screenshots? Sounds like an airport elevation issue w/ ORBX Vector...

Thanks to everyone who is responding.

 

Recently Added: FSLA320X - didnt notice the problem. Since loaded ORBX Germany North,

MalagaX and ValenciaX.

 

I have ORBX Vector and notice in the manual that it warns that the installer places it in a very specific place in the library. I havent changed anything, but looking at my FSX Scenery Library, i notice that of the 5 library entries:

FTX_VECTOR_AEC

FTX_VECTOR_APT

FTX_VECTOR_CVX

FTX_VECTOR_EXX

FTX_VECTOR_OBJ

one of them is seperate and lower in the library below all the FSX Base items and Default Scenery. Thats:

FTX_VECTOR_AEC

 

Could that be a problem? Im creating some screen shots.

 

Thanks 

 

Andrew

Could someone please advise how I add a screenshot attachment to a post?

 

Thanks

 

Andrew

I don't use Vector, but I note that it corrects airport elevations for default airports, so I suppose it is possible there might be some connection with your problem. Do you know where FTX_VECTOR_AEC should be situated in the scenery library?

To add screenshots you need to use an off-site hosting place like photobucket or in My case I use OZx Image hosting.

Here are the pictures ( I hope! )  :smile:

 

  

 

 

Thanks to everyone who is trying to help.

 

Bill, I think Vector is in the right place in the library, but I'm checking with ORBX.

 

Andrew

Run the vector configurator in the orbs vector folder and see if it fixes the elevations.

 

 

Default Scenery. Thats:
FTX_VECTOR_AEC

Could that be a problem? Im creating some screen shots.

 

The placement is normal for FTX_VECTOR_AEC.

Thanks for that confirmation airernie. Can eliminate that then.

 

Mack84 Already run the Vector Configurator - No improvement.

Ok, for those still following along at home...... here is an update.

 

Turns out that my below scenery problem only occurs when I first set up and load from the FSX Free Flight menu screen. Any aircraft, any destination scenery, time or season.

 

If I then exit from the airport when I have loaded sub-scenery and then re- load the exact same situation immediately from the FSX Free Flight screen as before, the problem disappears!!?

 

Hows that for weird?
