What Sim are you using?  This topic should be placed in the proper forum.

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

If you have FSX or P3D, you can slew to the higher edge of the airport and get the ground altitude there.  Then you will have to put a flatten command in your scenery.cfg under the entry for your airport scenery.  Thus a flatten switch may help you a little. The correct syntax is:

Flatten.0=1860,N45 30,W120,N45 30,W119 30,N45,W119 30,N45,W120 (you will have to put your own coordinates in, the four corners that encompass the entire airport).  If you don't follow the instructions it will not work, it's all the support I can give you, I hope it helps you.

Just this afternoon I had a similar problem with Aerosoft's Cuzco Peru (SPZO).  I went to Orbx Vector and ran the configuration tool but the problem persisted.  Then I went back to the Orbx Vector configuration tool and found SPZO in the AEC Disabled column.  I moved it over to the AEC Enabled column and the problem was fixed.

I've had to do this with several airports I had elevation problems with.  The configuration tool doesn't always get it right.  Moving the airport from one column to the other doesn't always work, but many times it does.  It's worth a try.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

Always worth checking to see if there are any duplicate AFCAD or elevation files lying around for the airport encountering the issue. This can happen if perhaps files from another addon for the same airport have not been completely removed.

I stil have the problem even with the default scenery, i'am using p3d v4, 

If this is a problem with P3D's default scenery, this is not an Orbx problem, and should be posted in the P3D forum.

I use Windows Explorer.  This is most likely a terrain mesh problem.  When all else fails I use ADE.

Sorry, I don’t have P3D but I use Flight1’s AFX to look for duplicate AFCADS in FSX. Unfortunately  I don’t think that works in P3D.
