updraft Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Hi It worked flawlessly some time ago, but now I have elevation problems: The runway is missing and the taxiways are elevated related to the ground. What I have installed: Orbx SAK Orbx PAVD RTMM Pipeline What I tried: -checked forums and layer order/insertion point -new install by FTX Central 3 -FTX Global Vector AEC enabled/disabled -ADE_FTX_SAK_PAVD_elevation_adjustment.BGL in scenery\world active/non-active -Changed settings in FSXA and re-set them as per the user guide All to no avail What did I miss? Is there anything known to help this problem? I've attached 3 pcs showing situation and scenery library order Thanks in advance for any help.

Doug Sawatzky Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Hi Ernst Could you please attach a copy of your C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX\scenery.cfg. Thanks Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
updraft Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 Hi Doug Thank you for looking into my problem. PAVD is the only scenery I know with this sort of problem. Attached is the scenery.cfg file you requested. I hope you'll find something... Thanks Ernst scenery.CFG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Hi Ernst I would first start with an uninstall and reinstall of PAVD, and if that doesn't work.... I would deactivate all non Orbx scenery library entries and activate all Orbx and default entries to troubleshoot. Also, there is an entry at the bottom of your scenery library (#478) that I would move to the top above the Orbx entries and put it with the other 3rd party stuff. You could also go further and delete the active scenery.cfg all together, run FSX to create a new default scenery.cfg, then run FTXC3 which will add all your Orbx entries, then rerun the Vector AEC tool, start FSX and see how PAVD looks, you would then need to add your 3rd party stuff after.

updraft Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 Hi Doug Well, I am back to my PC and have now followed your advises: -New install (2x) of PAVD -removed scenery.cfg and let FSX create a new one -started FSX and FTX Central3 and set insertion points -activated SAK, the basic NA FTXa andx and PAVD plus the mandatory FSX sceneries -ran FTX Vector and applied AEC Unfortunately, the elevation problems with PAVD are still present -activated all NA FTX, Orbx and all basic FSX sceneries -ran FTX Vector and applied AEC no improvement, same result Some screenies show my situation at PAVD Hope and thanks for the unltimate tip to get this scenery working Best regards Ernst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Hi there, please post a list of search results for all active PAVD .bgl files; see https://orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/127887-airport-elevations-using-ftx-central-3/?do=findComment&comment=1139281 Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
updraft Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 Hi Holger Thank you for taking care of my problem. Attached are 2 jpgs with the searchresults with *PAVD*.bgl of my entire scenery SSD. FSX SSD search resulted in finding ADE_FTX_SAK_PAVD_elevation_adjustment.BGL in scenery/world/scenery. I don't see any addon scenery problem, the RTMM files should not do any harm. Hope you'll find a solution. Best regards Ernst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Hallo Ernst, see my search results for comparison. It looks to me that the three SAK PAVD files are missing. The add-on PAVD relies on the flatten files provided with SAK so they need to be present. And to confirm: you do have a "ADE_FTX_SAK_PAVD_elevation_adjustment.BGL" in F:\Scenery\World\scenery? The file in the \OFF folder is an inactive backup. I assume those RTMM files are specifically meant to be compatible with the stand-alone PAVD add-on? Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
updraft Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 Hi Holger This is a very surprising finding, these 3 files are really missing in my SAK05/scenery folder. But PAVD worked fine say 3 months ago. I hope to find these files in one of my backups and shall report. I do have this ADE_FTX_SAK_PAVD_elevation_adjustment.BGL but in E:\FSX\scenery\world\scenery, the only PAVD file in FSX. I run a dedicated SSD E:\FSX plus a SSD F:\ with FSX Sceneries of all kind plus the Orbx folder for the symbolic link from E:\FSX\Orbx Yes, RTMM (Return to Misty Moorings) files ar part of their BWEP Alaska Pipieline Project which require SAK and offer special files if Orbx PAVD is installed. This is a great free addon for SAK! Thans for your findings, I'll inform. Cheers Ernst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
updraft Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 Hi Holger You made my day! I found the 3 missing files in SAK in a backup of late 2017 and now PAVD is back to its full beauty! I have no idea how and for what reason these 3 files disappeared from SAK. Thank you for your help. Best regards Ernst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
