Airport elevation

Featured Replies

Hi all.

I've installed TropicalSim's Providenciales into P3D5. It installed fine, but there are elevation issues as can be seen here:

Is there anyway I can alter the elevation etc to make this work? 

Thanks

I think there was a relatively recent post about using ADE to change the airport elevation. I also seem to remember this function requires the paid version and may not be available in the free one. I would do a search on ADE and elevation to see if my memory is correct.

I have the same scenery and had to use Airport Design Editor (ADE)  to mod it and make it compatible. yes the free version does that fine.  I just checked my MBPV_ADE*** file and the elevation is at 4.572 meters (its real life elevation calculated from 15ft) and I created an exclusion rectangle to remove default buildings and objects bleeding to as tends to happen with pre-V5 sceneries.  You'll find tutorials on how to do these on youtube if you're not familiar. With that I have no visual issues at the airport. A side note, its a good idea to keep your P3D SDK installation up to date at the same time as your P3D install.
