fltsiumguy1 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Here is the situation. Have P3Dv4 and Orbx PNW, Nor Cal, So Cal and both Rockies regions installed. Scenery was doing doing fine until I a\was outside KCRQ north of San Diego when I was flying, hit the Slew key by accident, plane touched the water and I reset at KCRQ. At that time I then got the attached screen shot with the old elevation peaks and valleys issue at this airport and also at KSUN in Idaho. I don't know any other airports affected at this time. I uninstalled Orbx So Cal and the elevation issues disappeared at KCRQ. When I re-installed Orbx SoCal the peaks and valleys returned to KCRQ so I uninstalled SoCal again and all was fine. I DO NOT have Orbx Vector installed. Can someone please offer any advice to repair the issue, not just the obvious? I will check back to this topic on Monday...and thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmucki Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 is your scenery library in the correct order? screenshot of that would be great... also, first and last name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triplane Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 There is NO requirement for first and/or last names in these forums.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Indeed, there is not. Neither do we offer support for PMDG aircraft. To the OP. After you have confirmed that your scenery library is in the correct order and if the problem has not been solved: This anomaly does not appear with all the relevant FTX products installed. Therefore, the most likely explanation is that you have something else affecting the elevation of your airport. There are three FTX files in ORBX\FTX_NA\FTX_NA_SCA05_SCENERY\scenery ADE_FTX_SCA_KCRQ.bgl ADE_FTX_SCA_KCRQ_CVX.bgl FTX_SCA_objects_KCRQ_PLC.bgl and one in scenery\world\scenery ADE_FTX_SCA_KCRQ_elevation_adjustment.bgl You should make a search for these and any others that may be present in your simulator installation. The colours in your screen shot do not appear in the SCA version of the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fltsiumguy1 Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Nick, Elmucki here is a screenshot of my scenery library and I AM MISSING this file.... ADE_FTX_SCA_KCRQ_elevation_adjustment.bgl ......I do have all the other ones.....how is this file missing? Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fltsiumguy1 Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 here is a screenshot of KLAX with double runway markings w the Orbx SoCal scenery installed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_YVR Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Obviously have two airport files there conflicting with each other. What other scenery addons do you have? FSDT KLAX? MyTraffic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fltsiumguy1 Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Dave_YVR, I do not have FSDT KLAX for P3Dv4 installed nor do I have My Traffic installed....I did install KLAX FSDT for P3Dv3 but not for v4... John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_YVR Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Fair enough, but you can see by the double runway numbering that there is a conflicting airport file for LAX in your sim, it's just a matter of finding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fltsiumguy1 Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Ok. any advice on where to start hunting? Also, still waiting on Nick to answer on where I can find that elevation_adjustmetn.bgl file and why it is not in place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 You can find the "elevation_adjustmetn.bgl" file attached. To remind you of advice already given, you should search your installation for the ICAO code of any airport that might be duplicated. For FTX products, you should find files either in the ORBX folder or the scenery\world\scenery folder. If you find any elsewhere, they are likely to be duplicates.

elmucki Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 sry,first and last name is in PMDG... surfing too many forums lately. Anyways, the advice is spot on, something, somewhere is giving you duplicate results. Like Nick said, search the folder and remove it. Give me a screenshot of your top of your scenery library and your library insertion points in FTXCv3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fltsiumguy1 Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 nick and Elmucki, I still have that issue around KCRQ. I have attached some screen shots to illustrate and FTXCv3 library insertion points. I really appreciate you guys trying to help me on this... I will be sending in three replies bc of file size of photos... this first one is at end of runway at KCRQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Hello, I don't see the Orbx libraries in your scenery library, in fact with an image as small as that, I don't see much at all. Did you add the elevation adjustment file or make a search for another version of the airport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fltsiumguy1 Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Nick, Here is a larger image of the one above. I did not find any duplicates of KCRQ McClellan-Palomar airport...i added the elevation adjustment file...do you need more views of my scenery library below this view able section?

Nick Cooper Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 If you untick all your other addons, does KCRQ then work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fltsiumguy1 Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 Should I untick ALL addons? including all Orbx options, like FTX...etc...? The grayed out addons cannot be unticked.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I think you can untick the greyed out ones in the in game addons menu. By all your other addons, I meant all your addons except those from FTX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fltsiumguy1 Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Nick I tried to respond to your last post but I got the error message that I have attached as a screenshot and could not access the post stream we had going. Anyway, your last post to me about going into the game addon menu worked!! I drilled down from options menu to addons and then unchecked all those FSDT airports that I had installed in P3Dv3 and were showing up in P3Dv4 and is on the same drive as P3Dv4. I un-ticked all FSDT airports in the "add-ons" that were "greyed out" in my scenery library including FSDT Addon manager. I then closed P3Dv4 down and rebooted and those airports were gone (didn't have them active anyway) and then KCRQ McClellan_Palomar no longer had elevation issues and KLAX did not have duplicate runway markings as before. I will not install any FSDT product unless they update to a v4 installer.....thanks so much Nick!! Your a genius in flightsim!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Just an FYI: All FSDT products install into P3Dv4 just fine. I have done so with no problems, but I have V4 on its own dedicated drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fltsiumguy1 Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 Stewart, OK thanks for that info. Yes I have P3Dv3 and v4 on the same drive for now and may be causing a few issues. I will slowly transition all my add-ons to v4 as they update and then delete v3, then I will have only v4 and all should be well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
