Aerosoft KSMF in P3dv5

[PilotPete99 915]

Yesterday I added the Aerosoft KSMF to P3dv5 and used the InBuilds compatibility patch. The terminal looked great, even better than in previous versions of P3d. However, there is an elevation issue and the runways are pretty much covered in grass when on the ground. Anyone know if there is a fix?

Why the patch?  I am using this product in v5 no problem.  However, I've found that quite often when the AF file is modified in v5 that often there is a problem with autogen on airport surfaces and elevation issue abound.

Interesting, I will remove the patch and see if that fixes it.

Unfortunately, I still have the exact same issue after removing the patch.

Are you using Orbx NorCal by any chance?

Hi Pete!
Use the file suggested on this post on the Aerosoft Forums. Dont forget to turn off the original BGL.

Mine is working just fine with Orbx NCA, I have not even looked at the Aerosoft Forum since I don't have an issue.

Yep, but note that those w/o the Orbx NCA have had elevation issues since P3Dv4. Neither Vector's AEC nor default elevation is correct to the scenery one. This was my case and it works fine on both v4 and v5 🙂

Thanks for the tip. I will give this a shot later. I don't use Orbx SoCal so that shouldn't be an issue. How do I turn of the original BGL?

Disable the original one (KSMF_ADEX_SMF. bgl) by changing the ending from *.bgl into *.off.

Let my know if it worked for you. It did for me 🙂

Thanks! And I assume I don't need the InBuilds patch then correct?

You need it to exclude the default P3Dv5 buildings. So keep that file.
