hotchillies. Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I have a problem with 7S3 where there are holes around the runway and various hangars are below ground level. I have tried a lot of different settings and scenario load orders, but I seem to have elevation issues with all of them at 7S3. I am beginning to wonder if the issue is due to P3Dv4 compatibility. The best I have been able to achieve is to use a very low mesh resolution (about 76 meters) to force the surrounding terrain to all be of the same level. However this low resolution would cause issues with other airports eg 2S1. I have tried reinstalling, checking through the forum, and setting the recommended mesh/textures resolution 5m/7cm as well as various other combinations of these. When I use different resolutions some of the hangars will return to ground level but the ones closer here do not. I have tried AEC as well, disabling and enabling - it works best OFF as otherwise the runway is walled in. Attached is my scenery config. scenery.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hello, welcome to the forums. Do you have PNW installed and if so, do you have scenery\world\scenery\ADE_FTX_PNW_7S3_elevation_adjustment.BGL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotchillies. Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hi, thanks :-) Yes I have PNW installed. No I don't have that file, am I looking in the correct place? I have search the folder below manually as well as windows search through the P3D folder D:\P3Dv4\Scenery\World\scenery My P3D folder is D:\P3Dv4\ Just noticed you are a fellow Yorkie!

hotchillies. Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hmmm, you gave me a clue and it's now fixed. I installed Airport Design Editor, reduced the airport elevation by 5 meters, compiled it, had a look, all still wrong but different. Then repeated and restored the elevation back to original height, compiled it again, it's now correct! Effectively all I did was a compile. I'm happy. In case anyone needs to do the same I followed these instructions: https://scruffyduck.screenstepslive.com/s/help_docs/m/20268/l/199754-how-do-i-change-the-altitude-of-an-airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 What you did was to create the missing elevation adjustment file. Verifying the files for the airports and PNW would have done the same but at least it's fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotchillies. Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 Many thanks for your help Nick, I shall try that next time I have an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotchillies. Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 I had the same problem with airport KNOW, which was a default aiport. There was no way I could Verify that I knew of, I repeated the above using ADE to open the file "D:\P3Dv4\ORBX\FTX_NA\FTX_NA_PNW05_SCENERY\scenery\ADE_FTX_PNW_KNOW_Port_Angeles_Cgas.BGL" and adjust the aiport height by one millimeter (from 0.999 meters to 1.000) meters and compiled it which fixed it. I wonder if there is a wider problem with Orbx Pacific North West? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Hello, I wonder if your scenery library is missing its Default Terrain entry. It should be the last entry, below Default Scenery. If it is there, make sure that scenery\world\scenery contains more than just the two new files you have created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotchillies. Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 Default Scenery and Default Terrain are the last two entries, in that order. "D:\P3Dv4\Scenery\World\scenery\KNOW_ADEP4_TKC_ALT.bgl" is the only file in scenery\world\scenery and the only file for *know* should there be others? There are 3 files referencing KNOW in P3D: "D:\P3Dv4\Scenery\World\scenery\KNOW_ADEP4_TKC_ALT.bgl" "D:\P3Dv4\ORBX\FTX_VECTOR\FTX_VECTOR_APT\scenery\ABP_KNOW.bgl" "D:\P3Dv4\ORBX\FTX_NA\FTX_NA_PNW05_SCENERY\scenery\ADE_FTX_PNW_KNOW_Port_Angeles_Cgas.BGL" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Hello, can I confirm that the file count for D:\P3Dv4\Scenery\World\scenery is 1 file only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotchillies. Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 There is only one scenery folder in P3Dv4 and listed once in the config. Within the scenery folder there are lots of folders, but just one empty 0 Kb file ".migrated" scenery.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Thanks, I meant the file themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Hello, if this is the case, Quote D:\P3Dv4\Scenery\World\scenery\KNOW_ADEP4_TKC_ALT.bgl" is the only file in scenery\world\scenery then you have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
