ba43 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Hello, I need some help please. I own FTX SAK. I've recently installed FTX Global, Vector, NA Open LC, and FS2010 Global Mesh FTX Edition. Flying to CYXY, Whitehorse, I now see this: I ran the AEC tool inside the Global Vector Folder, As you can see by my file folder image below, inside the Global Airports folder, it shows that there is a de-activated CYXY, but still shows an active one as well? And I still see the sunken airport in P3D v2.5. and this happens even if I put an .off extension on the still active file you see above the de-activated one? I see also that the FTX SAK edition of CYXY is active as the North America region is currently active in FTX Central but I still am sunken below the terrain at CYXY? Any advice on this? I don't have UTX or any other Mesh files that I am aware of active. Thank you, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Please disable AEC for the airport in the Vector control panel. If you see a similar effect at any other airports inside FTX regions, or indeed FTX freeware airports, disabling AEC should be the first step to take. KSEA is another case in point.

ba43 Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Nick, Thank you sir. I selected CYXY from the left hand side "Enable" in AEC, then moved it to the right hand side, "Disable". Now it appears correct again. Looks like I was unable to grasp what the AEC editor does. By "enabling", I am actually "activating" the Global/Vector elevation data for that airport that should only be active if I didn't have North America active in FTX Central with Southern Alaska.. By disabling, I de-activate the Global/Vector elevation data so that the North America region with SAK active takes precedence. Now when I select Global w/hybrid in FTX Central, what will that do to the currently disabled CYXY? Will it re-enable it? I'm guessing here that it will so that the Global/Vector Elevation for CYXY then takes precedence over the North America one? I think.

Nick Cooper Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Hello Brad, While I am pleased that your airport is now restored, I will leave it to the Pilot's staff to explain how it works, this is their forum after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
