answered HI99 vs AEC

[elsmoko]

HI99 (Sand Island / Kure Atoll )  is not on the AEC elevations correction list. 

Is there an alternate way to apply elevation corrections to airports that

are not on the list ?  Honestly not even sure that AEC will solve the issue.

Much of the buildings and objects that are not on the RWY and Taxiway are

below the water line / elevation (flooded buildings, etc.)

Thank you,

Ken

Hello,

the airfield and the island are badly misplaced in the default simulator in both position and elevation.

Vector has corrected the island but does not correct the airport, leaving it in the sea.

Here is your problem.

 

 

The airfield can be moved using a registered copy of the Airport Design Editor.

Here is the solution

 

 

Files attached.

You will find them in named folders indicating where to put them.

Put them into ORBX\FTX_VECTOR\FTX_VECTOR_FixedAPT\scenery

and scenery\world\scenery, as indicated by the folder names.

I made them for P3D v4, and then spotted that you have FSX, so there are two versions.

Definitely a default FTX issue. There are other atolls in the Marshall Islands group with the same problem. Once again Nick to the rescue.

Thank you for the information Bassman.

>> Definitely a default FTX issue. <<   Am I correct in assuming that FSX (vice FTX) is the culprit  ~:)

 

Thank you for the information and the files Nick.  Can't wait to try this ~:)

Best to all,

Ken
