wethersfield Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Can anyone tell me why I should be seeing scenery like this? It's 2WA1, Diamond Point Airstrip in the state of Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 It's an elevation problem, with more than one influence at work on the airfield. This might be Vector AEC or a missing or spurious elevation adjustment file or another addon airfield at the same location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wethersfield Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 That's interesting, however there have been no new scenery add-ons of late and none of the nearby airfields have this issue. Is there a fix or do I have to reload PNW all over again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I don't know, do you have FTX Vector installed? Do you have scenery\world\scenery ADE_FTX_PNW_2WA1_elevation_adjustment.bgl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wethersfield Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 Yes to both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I can't replicate exactly what your shot shows. If I disable the elevation adjustment file, the runways and taxiways are raised, not sunken like yours. I suppose it is out of the question that you could have another version or its elevation adjustment file active somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wethersfield Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Well I'll give it the "ole" college and attempt to check it. What I found interesting was that when I used a Piper instead of C-130 the entire runway appears, however, the elevation is then on either side of the runway, like a valley. Interesting that a different aircraft changes the view somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wethersfield Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Here is something I discovered, there is a duplicate folder to the world, scenery folder in the ORBX scripts folder the is titled "off". Should that be there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Yes, don't worry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wethersfield Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 So I guess I'll just have to avoid that one airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Hi there, this type of issue typically happens if another add-on for that airport uses a different reference altitude but has higher display priority than our version. If you don't know which add-on that might be run a Windows Explorer search of your entire flightsim folder tree for all .bgl files that include the airport's ICAO as part of their names -- e.g., search term *2WA1*.bgl -- and post a list or screenshot of the results with full file names and folder paths. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wethersfield Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Okay this is what I found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Hi there, thanks for posting the file list. I can't see the full folder paths but assume that the first three files are in "\ORBX\FTX_NA\FTX_NA_PNW05_SCENERY\scenery" and the elevation adjustment files in "\Scenery\World\scenery" and "\ORBX\Scripts\Custom.na\OFF", respectively? (the latter is an inactive duplicate). If so the file dates and locations are correct and there shouldn't be any display problems at the airport. What I've noticed in your list is the absence of a Global Vector file named "ABP_2WA1.bgl", located in "\ORBX\FTX_VECTOR\FTX_VECTOR_APT\scenery". While it wouldn't interfere with PNW's 2WA1 -- provided the Vector entries are at lower display priority -- it should have come up when searching for "*2WA1*.bgl" so I'm wondering whether perhaps other files were missed in your search as well... Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wethersfield Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 I was wrong when I incorrectly answered the earlier post, I do not have Global Vector. So based on your response everything else appears correct? I'm that tech smart in delving into the underbelly of files. I'm just amazed that one airport is somehow impacted with the elevation issue and all the others in the PNW file are not, so at the very least I should consider myself lucky, I think? I will avoid using 2WA1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
