Hello.
Unexpectedly the sea outside Visby airport in Sweden disappeared in P3D V.5.  There is now land, tree and houses. I have not made any changes to Orbx Central or the airport pack ( Kiruna package). What is wrong? ORBX Vector?

Sounds like a layering problem. Revisit your insertion points in FTX Central and end with the help menu Sync with sim. Usually it's something like that. If the layering is off, things go askew all over the place.

There is NO Vector in P3DV5.

Yes, there is: https://orbxdirect.com/product/global-vector-p3dv5

There is now, check it out (VFX Central).  Does it kill them to email out these changes.  They certainly have no problem when it come to advertising.

You could simply click the link I provided?? But if that's too much of an effort here are a couple of paragraphs from that link:

"This version specifically for P3Dv5 is a derivative of the original Vector release. Prepar3D v5 itself contains a completely new build of the default landscape and airports, the first time this has happened since the release of its predecessor, FSX. However, while Vector uses the same Open Street Map database, it’s features are more configurable (via the control panel) and uses custom road and shoreline textures, which integrate better with our other Global products.

The main difference to the original version of Vector is the removal of the adjusted airport elevations for default airports. This component is not compatible with Prepar3D v5, which uses current and more accurate layouts compared to the original Vector database. Moreover, hundreds of airport ICAOs have changed in Prepar3D v5, which would cause duplicate airports to be displayed at those locations when using Vector’s airports."
