resolved KOWD Norwood runway under the field

[Rabbit33]

Afternoon,

It's been 3 months since I've departed KOWD. This week I updated NA LC and Vectors, as well as ran the AEC auto config. I'm noticing ground elevation above the runway. It's visible when flying below 4000' above which the full runway can be seen.

 

I reinstalled NA Freeware and issue still persisted.

 

Thoughts & guidance on resolving would be appreciated.

Looks like an elevation issue to me.  Try running the AEC tool and manually adjust the KOWD entry, to either enable AEC or disable AEC, whichever is appropriate.

Hello,

I don't think it's Vector this time, there is no AEC for it.

However, I also don't think you are looking at the FTX freeware airport either

which looks like this.

 

 

Typically, elevation errors that are not Vector related are caused by there being files active for more than one airport at the same location

or files missing from a single installed airport, or even a combination of both.

Please check that you have no more than three KOWD files in your installation, they should all be in your

FTX_GLOBAL\FTX_FTXG_AIRPORTS\scenery folder.

Thxs Nick,

correct I did add the wrong screen shot with the default airport.  I went back to KOWD and noticed I overlooked that there are 2 control towers...clear sign of overlapped scenery.

I tested by renamed two files with an extension of BGLalt, this looks to have resolved the issue

BR2_KOWD.BGL - MyTraffic Professional\MyTraffic\Scenery

AF2_KOWD_ALT.BGL - Prepar3dv3\Scenery\World\Scenery

 

I know have under FTX GLOBAL...

FTX_FTXG_KOWD_object.bgl

ADE_FTX_FTXG_KOWD_CVX.bgl

ADE_FTX_FTXG_KOWD>BGL

 

Under VECTORS....

Thanks,
