Elevation issues at Pilot's LEAL - Alicante (P3Dv4)

Featured Replies

I've been experiencing elevation problems with Pilot's Alicante scenery and wondering if anyone else has had this issue and was able to fix. 

I have everything installed properly, according to their manual. I also have their FSGlobal 2018 Super NextGen Penultimate ExtremeX installed. Mesh is set to 2m, disabled the AEC in Orbx Vector, tried reinstalling, etc. Nothing seems to fix it.

It looks like your typical elevation problem before running AEC, but here are a couple of screen shots anyway.

On top of this, it appears that Pilot's basically offers zero support. I sent an e-mail to the support address listed in their manual, but it bounced back as being 'not found'. The support link on their website has zero information.

It looks more like conflicting scenery than elevation issues to me. Have you checked everything is as it should be prior to installing that scenery? 

The other thing to try is search for the LEAL files in the Orbx folders (I haven't got my computer on at the moment to help find them). Switch those files to.off and see if that helps.

I am not familiar with FSGlobal 2018 Super NextGen Penultimate ExtremeX but try turning that off in case there is a conflict there.

Thanks for your reply, Ian. I managed to find and fix the problem and was just about to update when your post came through. It was a conflict with FSAerodata.

If anyone else runs into an issue like this and is using FS Aerodata, make sure the FSAD files are below any 3rd party airports in your library. The ICAO files from FSAD contain elevation data (and other data) that might conflict with addons.

Glad you got it sorted

I have this airport and received my serial number from this address. steve_@_fly2pilots.com. (amended to prevent bots).

I can assure you Stefan does support his products. The latest announcement on his website is dated Feb 2020.

Thanks, Ray. Good to hear that there's some support available. It seems they just need to update their site and manual with the correct information.
