No problem with all DD Seattle airports ORBX below my addon airports but importantly above my base scenery folders, which ORBX has a habit of placing folders in the base scenery that`s why i always check after opening ORBX Central, check as ORBX now sometimes puts elevation data in the base which i move with Addon Organizer.

You'll have to forgive me...what's Addon Organizer and how do I check if ORBX has put elevation data in the base?!

I've checked the order of ORBX in the scenery library and it's all as you say...underneath all addon scenery but above all the base scenery. But still I get this...

There is clearly a problem with the way Drzewiecki Design has put the elevation of the scenery. It is clearly their problem.

Lorby-SI Addon Organizer you can move any scenery and make a backup when your scenery is OK.

Note the elevation stub that ORBX installs now with your Scenery i keep them above my base scenery folders.

A test of KBFI just now.

I'm sorry, I just get lost when we start talking about elevation stubs etc.
I just don't understand when I've installed Drzewiecki Design Seattle X Airports properly, I've installed ORBX properly why they just can't work?!

I've just uninstalled Seattle Airports X and this is what's now showing as default ay KBFI...

I also have the Seattle City X scenery installed also from DD, but surely this shouldn't be interfering? I checked the manual and it says it's fully compatible with ORBX too...

Plus now it's turned into a right mess. Uninstalled the whole lot, reinstalled and this is what KSEA is now like...

What a complete mess this has become. Can anyone help me fix not just my first mess, but also this one too...?

ps...remind me to stay well clear of DD scenery in the future!

You shouldn't need to use an add-on organizer. Central is smarter than it gets credit for and users going in to "fix" issues using an add-on organizer that aren't really issues often causes worse problems.

  Don't worry about what the scenery library looks like, it gets messed up by the whole xml addon method, just know that Orbx Central is doing is job at long as you have your insertion points properly set.

If you still have terrain issues at BFI after setting the insertion points, then I'm thinking you have some other conflicting scenery or airport file. Any chance that you have Traffic Global installed?

I've never had any elevation issues because of those ORBX titles being placed below base scenery. Are you sure it is necessary to move them above the base scenery?

So, I uninstalled the whole DD lot, back to default everything was fine, no elevation issues.

Reinstalled Seattle Airports X...everything fine.
Reinstalled Seattle City X...everything went wrong, issues reemerged.

Therefore it's definitely an issue with DD's Seattle City X conflicting with DD's Seattle Airports X.

I mean, you would think they'd work together...!

I encourage you to post your results in the DD forum as well so they’re aware multiple customers are having issues.

Ini builds has a fix for it on their site, they’ve done an exclusion for DD Seattle Airports 

I've tried this one. The default taxiways are gone, but now the AI aircraft are parking all over the place, as if the AF2 file doesn't get recognized anymore. So sadly it breaks more than it fixes...
