KFXE Fulton County Airport, just west of Atlanta, GA

It looks like the entire airport elevation might be off by about 150 feet or so?

The entire airport seems to be sitting up on a plateau.

Still....absolutely love this scenery.   Can't imagine all the work that went into this.

Thank you so much FMX team.   I will be making a donation.

Seems that a number of airports are a bit above the surrounding terrain.   I'm not sure if I installed incorrectly, have something set wrong etc or what.  Seems SeaTac in Seattle was also about 100ft above the surrounding terrain?

Airport elevations, my pet peeve. A few more details please.  Flight sim you are using? add-on or default airports? ORBX add-ons?  you mentioned KFXE - Fulton County airport, do you mean KFTY?. 

Cheers,

Specs: black box thingy with spinning fans, lights and a bunch of wires that go to screens with pretty colours and a keyboard with many keys. The black box thingy also has a push button activated coffee cup holder.

Hello John,

Yes I mean KFTY, sry.

FSX, FreeMeshX USA Beta, Not sure if it's the default airport or not...I didn't add any airports?

The actual elevation for KFTY should be 841 feet. Checked the FSX default KFTY scenery elevation and it is also 841 feet.
 

I would load the FSX and load the default Cessna C172. Made sure your altimeter is set the the proper pressure by pressing the “B” key. The C172 altimeter should indicate about 3 or 4 feet higher or about 845 feet.  If it doesn’t indicate 845 feet, then there is an issue with the airport elevation. I also checked the Nine Two Productions USA beta page and the airport plateau issue is a know problem. If you have confirmed the elevation is 841 feet (845 feet with default C172) then there may not be much that can be done about it.  The only other thing I can think of is to check your scenery library settings and make sure the Freemesh X USA beta is enabled.  You may have to move it up or down a bit.
