Airfield Elevation Error - Milford Sound

Featured Replies

In my copy of the sim altimeters show an altitude of approx. 850 ft at New Zealand's Milford Sound airport (NZMF) whilst in reality it's at sea level.  I've tried several aircraft and pressed 'B' to make sure that there's no error due to the wrong pressure being set but it makes no difference.  I've not added any scenery so the scenery.cfg is original.  I reported it a few days ago but I'm curious to see if anyone else can reproduce it.  FWIW in FSX:SE there's no error.

the awful wrong altitude of NZMF was already in FSX since 2006, and it seems like they didn't correct it in FSW in 2017.

Thank you.  I thought it was correct in FSX:SE because I've got Orbx Oceania (Australia & NZ) scenery installed in that sim and that must correct the error.

I double checked by disabling Orbx Oceania and sure enough without that scenery active the NZMF elevation is the same in FSX:SE as it is in FSW.
