TigerTigerM Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Having loaded Open LC NA/Alaska_Canada, I ran the Libraries & ran FTX Vector AEC configuration. I chose a location at random to see what the new Open LC NA looks like & got the image below. [FSX DX10, AEC Enabled] The view behind the aircraft is similar to the sides, ie, hill/walls. I suspect its not meant to look like this. Could someone check out what they get at 9AK2? I tried 9AK2 with AEC set to 'Disabled" but this results in the aircraft starting 'crashed' in a tree. Bit of a head scratcher. Have tried FTX Central V2 in NA & Global + Hybrid, with same outcomes. Other small airstrips have been fine. Lots of cabins with smoke coming out the chimney Thanks TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hi TTM See Kako with FTX Global Base with "hybrid mode", 9AK2 disable in the AEC and "FTX" block set at "Insertion Point" as post # 15 of this thread: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/101952-tiles-missing-misplaced/ 9AK2 - Kako Cheers, Voyager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will go back & set it up per your post # 15 in the referenced thread & report outcome. Thanks TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Restored FTX & Open LC orders to match your settings, but still no change. When AEC is enabled for 9AK2, the runway appears level, but the aircraft starts crashed in some trees. Maybe I will see if I can change the start position on the runway somewhere.

TigerTigerM Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Another crack at it. FSX/DX10; Global + Hybrid; 9AK2 AEC Disabled Runway 9 [Runway 27 & default gave crash in trees at start] So we have a short runway at ground level with 3 trees in it. Any thoughts TTM With above settings, but 9AK2 Enabled in AEC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTigerM Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 I'm having the same issue and have tried everything I know of. Well I'm glad Its not just me.

TigerTigerM Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Had a quick look at 3 closest airstrips - Marshall [MLL], Russian Mission [RSH], Kalskag {KLG] & all are okay. TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeBird Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Could it be that we need a mesh for this area. Also most of the airports seem okay. CJE7 is another one that is messed up. The chances of me ever flying into any of these strips is pretty nil as I fly mostly regions. But I like to know what causes this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 9AK2 with SAK, FTX Global v1.3, Pilots VECTOR v1.2, Pilots FTX Compatible mesh, and the airport disabled with the VECTOR Configuration tool. Airport displays correctly with no depression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLighT Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Ran into same issue. To fix I just disabled 9AK2 in AEC. Note: this is FSX in DX9, and using FSGlobal Ultimate Americas mesh. As far as scenery library was concerned, after installing OLC Alaska/Canada all I needed to do was move 2 Tongass Fjiords entrys from below all OLC entries to just above all. Don't know if this had any bearing or not. AEC Enabled for 9AK2 AEC Disabled for 9AK2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I wonder if you are missing some files in Vector. If you do a search for 9AK2, you should have four files. Do you have ABP_9AK2_Default.bgl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been flying all day in Quebec and haven't found one bad airport. Don't know what you mean by adding onto Orbx products. I didn't uninstall anything just added the mesh to my add-on scenery folder and then activated it via scenery configurator in fsx. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have ABP_9AK2_Default.bgl? The following is an extract from ABP .bgl file search: ABP_9AK2.inactive as was _9AK1; _9AK5; _9AK7 & also _9CL7 which I think was mentioned as an airstrip with issues. [The 'inactive' may be a red herring as I looked at 9AK5 airstrip & it was fine] I couldn't get the 'good' .bgl files broken out to see if there were four files for each .bgl I searched for ABP_9AK2_Default.bgl in G:\FSX but it never showed up So, do I have corrupted Vector files? Is there a fix? Thanks TTM I just did the NA one. Been flying all day in Quebec and haven't found one bad airport. Don't know what you mean by adding onto Orbx products.

TigerTigerM Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Further search on .bgl files: 9AK2 [airstrip faulty] 3 files ABP_9AK2; AEC_9AK2; APT_9AK2: all Inactive 9AK5: [airstrip okay] 5 files Same 3 as above: inactive plus: ADE.FTX.SAK_9AK5.bgl ADE.FTX.SAK_9AK5_CVX.bgl So it looks like the 2 missing 9AK2 .bgl files could be the culprits. Can I fix that? TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 To confirm I am not picking on 9AK2 (Kako), here is a shot of the bridge at RSH (Russian Mission) Could someone kindly show me what it should look like in FSX? I have done some flying in Ontario & the landscape is superb. TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 If you select your ORBX\FTX_VECTOR folder and enter 9AK2 into the top right search box in Windows File Explorer, you should see four files. They should either look like this, with the airport AEC enabled or three inactive and ABP_9AK2_default.bgl if AEC is set as disabled. If you find that the ABP_9AK2_default file is missing, you can try a search of ORBX\FTX_VECTOR for the word Default and see if you have any results. If you do not, I would recommend that you download version 1.2 from your FSS acount, delete the whole ORBX\FTX_VECTOR folder and re-install.

dominique Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Same issue here in P3D2.5. with Kako 9AK2. Global (Hybrid on or off) with OpenLC NA enabled and the Ultimate mesh : sunken if AEC is enabled, covered with trees if it is disabled. All the 3 files ABP, APT and AEC are in the Vector dir.

dominique Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 What about the fourth file, ABP_9AK2_default? I don't see any but then again I don't see any file with _default in their name for any airport, with a search in Vector and subfolders or with a quick scrolling. This is Vector 1.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Hmm. A search of my FTX_VECTOR folder for the word default produces 4117 results. I think the missing files are why disabled airports are covered with trees. Is this the old problem with the Vector 1.2 installer? The latest version of 1.2 should be at your FSS account.

Nick Cooper Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 You will need to download the latest version and then delete ORBX\FTX_VECTOR before running the installer. Otherwise you run the risk of introducing files with the same name but different extensions, causing a different error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTigerM Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Deleted old FTX_Vector & installed latest version. 9AK2 with AEC disabled is now good [see below], but RSH Russian Mission bridgehead is still underwater. [Ref 2nd pic below] Could not find RSH in Vector AEC lists & Vector .bgl search only turned up 1 RSH.bgl file, which wasn't a default. Any thoughts?

Nick Cooper Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Nothing I can do to help with Russian Mission, I see the same as you do, in FSX. It's probably Vector but not something that can be fixed except by the developers. I will draw it to their attention. At least you now have a full Vector installation which will have cured 4116 potential errors elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the missing files are why disabled airports are covered with trees. Is this the old problem with the Vector 1.2 installer? The latest version of 1.2 should be at your FSS account. I bit the bullet and did a new download/reinstall. The default files reappeared so it seems that I had indeed a flawed 1.20 version.
