VABB Seems Another Layer

Recommended Posts

Can anyone kindly advise how to get rid of a duplicate scenery bgl layer that is floating on top of one another at Thai Creations VABB for FSX which I am using Lorby's P4AO to generate this airport for P3Dv4.5?

First screenshot, one side of the aircraft the stairway vehicle is submerged, on the other side the refuelling truck appears normal.

Second screenshot, the A330 engine nacelles are kind of submerged

This has been going on since the scenery was released in FSX.  There are a couple older threads in the FSX forum that have some workarounds that may or may not work. 

My build notes show that in P3Dv4.5 I have deactivated the APX67250.bgl file in ...\scenery\0803 and placed VAJJ above VABB in the configuration.

Thanks a lot for that Bob. I had a feeling it was an APX .bgl somewhere but was not sure which Scenery\ sub-folder number to look into.

Will follow your fix.

This is an elevation issue that has been brought up quite commonly. Alas, it's the reason many people stopped using the scenery. I myself was able to get rid of it somehow... I think perhaps by fiddling with OrbX Vector, though I'm not sure exactly what I did. It's possible that the elevation correction of Vector in this instance actually helped. But, then I had other errors I was never able to get the inibuilds jetways mod to work, so personally I stopped trying at some point...

Hi Benjamin. Many thanks for your input. I re-read that old thread dating back to 2014, and I finally nailed it !! No more floating textures and undercarriage or engine nacelles being half immersed, and you are on track with your suggestions.

Thanks,David. Was unaware of that ever since I had lost the previous image hoster years ago. Will bear that in mind
