Terry O'Brien Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hello Orbx ... I am a little confused on how to use Manual Elevation Corrections window which I find is not very intuitive. I cant figure out how to use the entry window. I recently noticed that my FSDT KLAS Las Vegas Airport was below the ground but when I tried to disable it by selecting it in the LEFT HAND LIST and then clicking disable which transferred it into the right hand list (at the bottom of the list; I might add!!!), it did not correct the problem. Is there a small tutorial available on how to use the Manual Elevation Corrections Window as I find it intuitively hard to figure out. Also do we choose ENABLE or DISABLE if an airport is above or below the ground? I would appreciate some help on this one please. Thank you for your continuing support.

Nick Cooper Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hello Terry, I have prepared an image to help you out. Notes: 1. To enable AEC, simply select the ICAO code in the right hand column and click on Enable instead. Then perform stages 5, 6 and 7. 2. If there is apparently an elevation error, change the airport from which ever column it is in to the other column. Note that not all airports are in the Vector database, if one is not, there will be no ICAO code to select and the elevation error will have a different cause. 3. Note that you can create a profile, Save Profile as.... If you do this, your chosen settings can be restored at any time, Load Profile... The profile is by default stored in the FTX_VECTOR folder. You may wish to back it up elsewhere in the event of a re-installation being necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry O'Brien Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 Thank you Nick and Doug ... I was able to fix the problem with FSDT KLAS Las Vegas after reading Nicks explanation and following Holgers post that Doug pointed me to. Your support was very helpful ... thanks again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tundrabum Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Nick; Thanks for the step by step explanation . However, that only works if the airport is already in the list. What about an airport that's not in either list, RE: PAMR, Merrill Field, which is a very popular GA airport located in the center of Anchorage Alaska. Appreciate your support.

Nick Cooper Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Hello, if an airport is not in the list, Vector AEC has no effect on it, so if there is an elevation problem, it is not caused by Vector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelab6 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Great info here, thanks ! @Nick Cooper Could you please confirm this to me: AEC enabled = Vector program has corrected the airport elevation to true elevation... I am wondering if I understands it right... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 AEC enabled, Vector has corrected the airport elevationto fit the Pilot's mesh. AEC disabled, the airport retains its elevation, whether that is default or whether it has been reset by its developer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
