Lord Nibbo Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Today I bought and Downloaded PAJN from Orbx, but as you can see I have a problem with elevations that I cannot fix.. I have FTX Global installed and FTX Global Vector and Southern Alaska installed, turning off all the Vector folders in the FSX Scenery folder changed nothing so I don't believe the problem is Global Vectors. From reading many threads about this problem I've also deactivated several .bgl's within several of the Orbx scenery folders including bgl's in the FSX\senery\World\scenery folder. all made no difference. The scenery mesh resolution in FSX is set to 5m in fact I tried all the settings none of the settings fixed the problem. I'm at a loss on how to fix it. any ideas on a fix would be welcome.

Museumkeeper Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Hi Have you tried to run FTX Vector AEC tool in the settings menu of FTX Central v3 kind regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Hello, I would suggest that first you re-install the product to undo the changes you have made. These are the files that you should find in the ORBX folder. Excluding the effects folder, this is the only file you should find in the simulator folder but outside the ORBX folder. I see also an error introduced by FTX Vector. If the error persists, please go to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Strange then that the error caused by Vector is in your screen shot. Did you audit the files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Hi there, FTX Global Base does not alter airport elevations as it is simply a texture/autogen replacement package. Please post a screenshot of your list of PAJN .bgl files; see http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/127786-pajn-elevation-problem/#comment-1138736 Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Nibbo Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Found it.... In the FSX\scenery\World\scenery .... UTX_PAJN_AP.BGL Changed it to UTX_PAJN_AP. OFF and PAJN looks perfect. so I am correct it is a problem with Orbx Global !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Hi there, that file gets installed by Flight1's Ultimate Alaska X and there are probably others in the SAK coverage area you want to deactivate. Have a look at the SAK user guide, page 5, and at our SAK compatibility thread at http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/62409-sak-compatibility-index/ Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 UTX has nothing to do with Orbx Global, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Nibbo Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Ah !!!! now I'm getting somewhere I don't have Ultimate Alaska X installed but I might have done a long time ago. do you think searching for any UTX bgl's and deleting them will work? Or do I need to do more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 It couldn't hurt, of course, if you no longer need any UTX scenery. But I would also look to deleting that Vector error Holger advised about. That particular error has been the source of most, if not all, the display problems at PAJN, it would seem: "1211_EXX_Excludes.bgl", in \ORBX\FTX_VECTOR\FTX_VECTOR_EXX\scenery". It certainly solved my problems there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holger Sandmann Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Hi there, if you no longer have Ultimate Alaska X installed then you definitely want to deactivate all of the Alaskan UTX_ {ICAO}_AP.bgl files. The easiest way to do this is to make a new folder inside \Scenery\World\scenery (named "UTX_hold" or similar) and then move those files into it; no need to rename or delete anything unless you're 100% sure you don't need the files anymore. Other than that just make sure you don't have any Ultimate Alaska X entries in your scenery library menu anymore. The only display issue that Vector's "1211_EXX_Excludes.bgl" causes is those two odd indentations in the flattened area along the southeastern edge as in this screenshot http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/72953-does-this-look-correct-at-pajn/ and that's more of a cosmetic issue than anything that interferes with the airport's functionality. Any serious elevation issues at PAJN, like the one you've had, are due to incompatible third-party elevation adjustment files, such as UTX or MyTraffic.

Stewart Hobson Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Holger is correct, of course, about those indentations. They are more ugly than anything affecting the airport's usefulness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Nibbo Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Yes moved all the UTX files into a folder as suggested, everything is A1 now,,, many thanks to all for the help. Nibbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
