Bobsk8 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I have all the NA FTX regions and just got Northern Rockies. today I landed a copter in the ramp area of KFCA , and it sank under the ground. I could only see the top of the rotor. I tried launching it at Helipad 1 , and same thing happened. Any fix for that? I don't have any special mesh or other software for scenery installed except US North America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Sawatzky Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Is your mesh resolution set at 5m? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes 5m and I also checked for duplicate BGLs, had one in My Traffic 6, deactivated it and same problem. I just purchased this region last week, and at this point am wondering if unistalling and reinstalling would be advisable. Don't want to make a mess of everything, so am not sure of the exact procedure to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Maybe try the migration troubleshooter, go to your ORBX\Troubleshooter folder and run the MigrationTroubleshooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Sawatzky Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Ok, lets reinstall the Orbx Libs, to do that, look in your main flight sim root folder and go to the ORBX\User Documents\Versions folder and delete the "FTX_AA_ORBXLIBS.txt", this will tell FTXC3 that they are no longer installed and allow you to reinstall them, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobsk8 Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 What if I just uninstall Northern Rockies in Central, will it then allow me to reinstall Northern Rockies again without touching all my other regions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Yes, but after you click on the blue uninstall button, also delete the versions .txt file so it will do a full clean reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, thanks for your help and patience. I think I will deal with this in the morning when I am more awake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holger Sandmann Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 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 *KFCA*.bgl -- and post a list or screenshot of the results with full file names and folder paths. An example of such a list is shown here: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/134687-kmry-elevation-issue/?do=findComment&comment=1195382 How to post screenshots in our forum: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/122913-how-to-post-a-screenshot/ Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a search as you suggested and came up with 3 files. One of the files was named ADE_FTX_NRM_KFCA_elevation adjustment.BGL It was located in P3DVe/scenery/world/scenery It was dated 5/13/2010 The elevation adjustment got my attention so I decided to put passive on the end of the file. I reloaded KFCA and now my aircraft is the correct place on the ramp sitting on it's landing gear on top of the pavement. I will send you this file so you can look at it. Thanks for your help.

Holger Sandmann Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Hi again, well, that basically proves my point that another add-on for KFCA is active. ADE_FTX_NRM_KFCA_elevation adjustment.BGL is required for the correct display of the NRM version of KFCA. If you have to deactivate that file then that means that you have some other file active, at higher display priority than the NRM block of entries, that relies on the default elevation of KFCA. Below is the list of three NRM files that need to work together; the first file on the list will only exist if you have Global Vector installed and is not relevant for the proper display of the airport. The other screenshot is taken sitting on helipad 1 at KFCA with NRM installed and no third-party add-on. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Holger I have the bottom three files, exactly as you just posted, and the 1st of the bottom three is the one I deactivated. There are no other files in P3D that reference KFCA . With elevation adjustment activated, I am underground. With it deactivated, everything is normal. No other scenery except My Traffic 6 BGL for that airport, and I already tried deactivating it.
