guillaume78150 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I might post on the wrong forum, but as I don't know exactly what's the problem, here it is. On somme Alaskan airports (PACD & PAWD), the taxiways run through the hills underground, and one of the hangar floats above ground... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Did you install the latest library files => OrbxLibs When done that then run the migration tool available under the troubleshooting tab of FTX Central v2 Once you run the migration tool there will be popping up several MsDos screens It can take a bit of time, but please wait till a little pop up appears that the migration is complete Hit OK To check if it went correctly use the migration troubleshooter => ".....\ORBX\Troubleshooter\MigrationTroubleshooter.exe Wait till it does it's thing and the msDos screen will give green text behind the various sceneries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guillaume78150 Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 Thanks Wolter, I downloaded the libs two days ago. Will run the diags and let you know. G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guillaume78150 Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 Wolter, The diags was uneventful, all installed Orbx products are tagged "Migrated". I restarted FS and the problem remains. (see attached picture). Any idea ? Thanks. G.

Neil Hill Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hi G. I've looked at both airports you mentioned. I can find no problem at PACD, either as default FSX or the ORBX Freeware version. At PAWD is see the AEC needs to be disabled in the FTX Vector Configurator, that might cure your issue there. According to you screenshot there is a lake or river flowing through the airport. At neither airports is there any water like that, please varify the ICAO of the airport shown in the screenshot. I'm assuming your Vector installation is active, if it was not you could well see these issues. Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guillaume78150 Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hi Neil, Sorry, I mistyped, it's PACV (Cordova) airport. I ran the AEC automatic configuration. No change, still the same "river" in the middle of the airport and runway underground... The PACV airport does not appear in the "enable/disable" ICAO lists... Weird...

Neil Hill Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hi Guillaume, Nothing I can do about the water under the taxiway at PACV as the default airport is not accurate in its layout. PACV is one of the SAK airports and once I turned it's elevation file to .off the elevation in Scenery/World/Scenery that issue disappeared. You haven't by chance installed SAK and turned it off in the scenery Library? That turns off everything BUT the elevation files. And you're correct that PACV does not appear in the configurator. Not all airports do, only those messed up by Pilots 2010 mesh. My default PACV with default elevation looks fine here. (other than the water under the taxiway) Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guillaume78150 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Neil, I installed SAK but did not notice it was possible to turn it "on" or "off"... How can one turn an airport file elevation to "off" ? Unless I missed something, there is only BGL files in the scenery sub-directory. Best. Guillaume.

Nick Cooper Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 In this case, turning it off means unticking the entries for it in the simulator scenery library. You can turn off (disable) any .bgl file by renaming the file extension. The FTX convention is to do this by renaming the file to filename.bgl.off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guillaume78150 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Thanks Nick. Will do that and let you know. Guillaume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guillaume78150 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Ok, I turned it 'off" and indeed, there is still a "pond" (sort of) but the airport ground is leveled and hangars and buidings are now on the ground ! Is that wrong layout visible on a basic FS version (without any add-ons (Orbx or else) ? Anyway, solved, thanks to everybody. Guillaume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guillaume78150 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 I made a random flight and realized most of the SAK secondary airports suffer the same layout... I don't intend to manually change all airports files extensions... Is it related to Orbx SAK scenery ? (I checked in the Central Rocky Mountains, everything's fine).

Neil Hill Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Hi Guillaume, Once you turned off SAK what you're left with is inaccurate default FSX airports placed against an accurate Vector background (and Alaska's default FSX airports are some of the worst). In default FSX they looked OK as the ground layout was also way incorrect. Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guillaume78150 Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hi Neil, Thanks for the input. The problem is I never turned SAK off (nor any of my Orbx scenery). Best. Guillaume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
