Airport Elevation Issue

Featured Replies

Everything was fine this morning - flew from EGLL to LEMG.

Tonight I loaded up (well, after Windows10 did an update - which could be significant!) at Glasgow, where I flew to earlier this week. The problem is that my aircaft is now suddenly 50 feet up in the air!

I remember there is a sub-program which allows corrections to be made to aerodrome elevations, but can't recall where to find it. There may be another simpler way to correct this of course, and I am asking if anyone can help?

Its hard to give advise without more info like Scenery ORBX  or other addons used.

You are right:  it's mainly Orbx, with UK2000 eXtreme airports and some PMDG airports. GSX and Active Sky for P3Dv4, and vPilot.

However it may not matter because I "solved" it (at least temporarily).

I say that because I found that clicking on the <Y> key (the one that actuates the slewing mode) the aircraft immediately re-positioned to the correct position/elevation on the airfield.

What are your ORBX library insertion points set at?

I do not have time to point you to it tonight, but it is not difficult to find on the Orbx site.
