AI aircraft hanging in midair...

Featured Replies

Hi Folks,after designing and installing an addon scenery with an according afcad layout, I happen to have a strange phenomena.On FS startup, all traffic is properly placed at gates/parking etc. All behaves well (within fs and flightplan limits) until I do a trip myself. On arriving at this specific airport, the aircraft hang in midair, about 110 ft over their parking positions. Departing traffic "beams down" to the apron before taxiing out normally. Arriving traffic behaves normal, too.I had to use a flatten area to have the area useable for this (new, no MS-default) airport. May this affect the AI positions when the airport area is out of visual range?Any help is welcome...Thanks,Torsten

Dear Matt,thanks for Your reply, I tried that already. Altitude in the airports.txt is the same as the scenery altitude defined in airport as is the flatten altitude...TM

How about the reference point and also the tower locations in AFCAD. Those both have elevations also.Matt
