November 17, 20196 yr Hello all, I recently discovered an elevation issue at HAAB by WhiteDotSim. When I first installed it (must have been under 4.5 before the hotfixes) everything appeared to work fine. However, I now have a persistent elevation issue that is characterized by the taxiways sunken a couple meters into the ground, or, perhaps, the ground surrounding the taxiways defined in the AFCAD to rise up. You can sort of see it in the below image, especially closer toward that hangar that is positioned relatively closer to the aircraft. I thought it might be caused by the default airport background somehow gaining precedence over the HAAB addon airport background, and so amended the HAAB AFCAD file to include an exclude for airport background, and put in my own, but this didn't seem to do anything. By loading the scenery library in LittleNav Map I can also see that there are not other HAAB-related files active besides the one of WhiteDotSim (or, rather, the ones I amended) and the defualt file that contains the default HAAB airport information. So I'm stuck. Does anybody else using P3Dv4.5 HF2 see this behavior with this scenery, and have you found a potential fix? I'd love to know! HAAB is becoming increasingly important in African aviation and so I'd like to have it working properly.

May 29, 20206 yr Hi Benjamin I'm having the same issue. No remedy found so far. I'm also using P3D V4.5 HF2. Greetings Michael
May 29, 20206 yr Author Hey Michael, I actually fixed this eventually. I deleted every single file I could find that related to this particular scenery, and restored the OrbX vector altitude corrections. Key is to make sure that the default airport shows up fine without elevation issues. After that, I reinstalled the scenery as per the instructions, and from then on it has worked fine for me. I believe sometimes it's good to start with a clean slate. As an aside, the author of the scenery is working on an update to the scenery that should bring it up to current layout with some quality enhancements as well!

May 29, 20206 yr Hey Benjamin, thanks for answering me. I'm trying to sort it out as well that very moment. I've uninstalled everything relating to this scenery as well. I'm not using ORBX vector, though. But I have an elevation issue with the default scenery as well. I think it might be a problem with the file HAAB_ADEP3_EKM_ALT.bgl that goes into scenery/world/scenery and should fix the elevation issue... Cool that the author is working on an update/upgrade of the scenery! Keep those African sceneries coming 😉 Kind regards Michael
May 29, 20206 yr I think Orbx OpenLC Africa includes a mesh component that can cause elevation issues. I had issues with elevated waterways near Lagos, and deactivating the mesh component of OpenLC_Africa fixed it.

May 29, 20206 yr OK, solved. With HF2, LM somehow changed the way airport elevations are prioritized (cf. http://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6312&t=135117). Two steps needed to be taken at whitesim's HAAB: Moving HAAB_ADEP3_EKM_ALT.bgl from scenery/world/scenery to Addon Scenery/HAAB changing the airport altitude in all the ADE-Files to 2334.000 m (I needed to edit HAAB_ADEP2_MM that came with an inibuild GSX-config). Greetings to everyone Michael
