OLDflyboy Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I just installed the latest Library files and hoped my Airport elevations would be corrected. However, many of my airports, including most ORBX fields are either surrounded by steep slopes or the runways and taxiways have deep "swimming pools" . Some runways cannot be reached, etc. I have run the new (Oct 30) library several times followed by the AEC but still cannot count on a departure or arrival airport to be as it should. At present I am flying P3D v3 and cannot think of anything else to try. Any suggestions truly appreciated. Neal Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Hi Neal First, please review and apply the below procedure. Ensure the Orbx Libs are installed and up to date. (is there a blue notification above the settings button in FTXC3?) Ensure all of your 3rd party addons are at the top of your scenery library and above your FTX entries. Then in FTX Central 3 Insertion points, move "FTX entries should be inserted below" just below your last 3rd party addon. Then move the "openLC entries should be inserted below" just below your FTX entries. and click "Save". Then run the "Force Migration" option. Finally Click on the "Clear Temp" button. Then, if you have Vector installed, there is a Vector control panel access button at the bottom of the FTXC3 settings page. When you open it you can select the amount of road coverage etc, be sure to uncheck the "Frozen Surface (in winter only)"option, and check the Australia Add-Ons under the “Settings” tab, then go to the Airport Elevation Correction (AEC tool) tab and run the auto configuration process and be sure to click on "Appy" when it is done scanning.

OLDflyboy Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 Thanks for your reply and information. I do have VECTOR installed and the latest Library. Later today I will follow up on the other items but have a question about " and check the Australia Add-Ons under the “Settings” tab, ". I do not have any Australia Add-ons. Should it be checked anyway? Looking forward to checking these things out. It really takes the pleasure out of flying to load a flightplan and find either departure or destination all fouled up.

Doug Sawatzky Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Hi Neal The Australia addons compatability box only needs to be checked if you have Orbx Australia installed as it does not get along with Vector. Cheers Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
