answered KBHB Elevation

[jaycem]

Purchased and installed above airport from Orbx this morning. The elevation is incorrect. Have run the AEC configuration tool in Vector but still a problem. Have Global Vector NA installed as well as Pilots mesh. Please help.

Hello Jaycem,

 

                     Below is what I am seeing, I also do not have KBHB listed in Vector, do you have your Mesh set to 5m? There was an issue with Na freeware packs but I have those installed and do not have an elevation issue. Please also take a look at your Library Incerstion Points and make sure they are in the correct position.

Hi Richard,

Thanks. Have checked the scenery insertions and made a couple of changes for Vector, but problem still exists. Downloaded and re-installed Vector overnight, no difference. Is there a definitive scenery insertion list for all Orbx products - including Pilots 2010 - I can use?

Hi John,

 

             We are currently working on a fix for Insertion points in FTXCv3, sorry I forgot to mention that. Could you please display your Scenery Library in FSX? We may need to move a few entries around.

Hi Richard,

Sorry, but do not know how to copy & send Scenery Library, can you advise?

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

 

            Good point, once you bring up the scenery library you can use Windows Snipping Tool>Click>New. Save to desktop Hear from you soon.

^{Sorry to be dumb, Richard, but is there a way to scroll down using snip tool, or does it mean numerous individual snips?}

[Nick Cooper]

Perhaps easier to use Windows File Explorer to navigate to 

C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3.

Copy the scenery.cfg file to somewhere else and then add it

to a post as an attachment.

If you can't see the ProgramData folder, visit the view options and check 

"Show hidden files, folders and drives"

Hi Nick,

Thanks, am using FSX not Prepar3D - will it work the same.

John

[Nick Cooper]

Sorry, in that case, C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX\scenery,cfg is the file you want.

[jaycem]

Thanks Nick,

File attached

Scenery.CFG

Hi Nick & Richard,

Any progress with the definitive scenery library order list, or are you still working on it?

Thanks,

John

Gentleman,

After the initial flurry of support there has been a long lapse. Am I to take it this problem is insoluble and I should ask for a refund?

John

[Nick Cooper]

Sorry, after I had advised you about the scenery.cfg file, I imagined that Richard would continue.

I would guess that you have files for KBHB active that conflict with the FTX version.

If you search scenery\world\scenery, the only file should be Orbx_KBHB_APX_ALT.bgl

Also, a search for KBHB elevation could prove fruitful.

Here are a couple of the 13 results

Hi Nick,

Thanks for the response and I apologise for getting tetchy; I followed the advice and the problem is resolved.

I came across OZx freeware many years ago and followed the development of Orbx as they are user friendly and do most of the installation work for me. My technical computer knowledge is limited and frequently tests me - I started gliding in a Kirby cadet before graduating to flying Tiger Moth and Chipmunk - so the FTX software is excellent for me as all I need do is download, install, then fly! Hence my concern when KBHB went awry.

Thank you and every one else for your help.

Regards,

John
