Airport Elevation Error

[Dane Watson 38]

Greetings Alex,  I have discovered an error on the map display of two airports I created in MSFS SDK.  I believe they used to display correctly on LNM but I am not sure how many versions ago that was.

The correct info is in the SDK, the aircraft shows the correct elevation when at the airport but the LNM airport data is wrong.  Here are two screenshots of one of my two airports.

 

Aircraft Altimeter is Correct at 700 feet - https://photos.app.goo.gl/bsts6TSphKdCCFxFA

LNM Data is Not Correct at 1,969 feet - https://photos.app.goo.gl/P4vCaveirjRNV1358

The other airport is the same - the aircraft altimeter is correct at 500 feet but LNM Data is not correct at 1,000 feet

Hi Dane,

did you reload the scenery library after adding the airport? I suppose the baro is set to the right value.
What is shown in the section "data sources" for tab airport and tab overview? Maybe there is another add-on on top of it.

Alex, yes I did reload scenery library. I actually created these airport in November and the elevation in LNM was correct.

Yes the baro is correct.  I will check and send a screenprint

I checked and it is correct - here is a screen print  -  https://photos.app.goo.gl/Vo3uSobYguoG7Roy5

And if you look at the OSM Topo map lines it is approximately 200 metres and 700 feet is 213.

Hi Dane,

can you send me the airport package or the BGL file containing the airport (https://albar965.github.io/contact.html)?

I did no changes to the BGL airport code for a long time.

Thank you for the files. I just checked and LNM reads 600 meters (1.969 ft) elevation for the airport from the BGL.

This is the same code reading the elevation of thousands of other airports without issues. No idea what is going on there. Maybe some new obscure MSFS data flag?

What elevation does the simulator show in its map?
What is the content of the data source section? Are there any other BGLs overriding the elevation?
