erato Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Help. Some airports seem to be built on a level way above or below the natural ground. It looks like FTX Global is interfering with the FTX (Country). Can't seem to fix it. It happens in some USA airports and a lot in Norway. See pics. Any ideas?

Nick Cooper Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hello, welcome to the forums. Global Base has no files that can do that. Global Vector has but you don't say what Orbx software you have installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erato Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hello Nick, I'm running FSX on Windows 7 In Global I have OpenLC Europe OpenLC Mesh South America Trees HD Vector Airport Pack Lights configurator also: Orbx Libraries In Europe I have England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. In NortrhAmerica I have AI Traffic In Oceania I have AI Traffic and Holgermesh Note. In ENAL (Vagra, Norway) I have Norway Airports. If I switch them on the result is as shown. If I switch them off, the scenery levels are ok. In North America KRCA is the same. The runways are higher than the ground but the scenery is below ground. If I switch off ORBX!VECTOR_APT and ORBX!VECTOR_EXX the levels are all ok but I lose some of the airport scenery. It's not just these airports. I flew from Alaska to Abilene, and also round Norway. These anomalies seemed to crop up quite regularly. I don't know if this is relevant but the ORBX!VECTOR files are down in positions 60-64 in the scenery settings (just above 1107 Base and below Africa) Any ideas?

Nick Cooper Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hello, the two airports you mention are both in the Vector AEC list. Perhaps you need to visit the Vector control panel and run the auto configuration for AEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I looked in the scenery library settings, the ORBX!VECTOR_AEC was right down at the bottom, number 160. Only default scenery and default terrain were below it. I have moved this up before, but for some reason FSX has put it down there again. When I diabled it everything went ok. Where should ORBX!VECTOR_AEC be in the list? Please tell me how I visit the Vector control panel and run the auto configuration for AEC. Is it part of FTX Central 3? Regards, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, if you interfere with the product or its scenery library entries, you cannot expect it to work. Please do not do so and instead put everything back as it was and visit the Vector control panel and do as advised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erato Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Hello Nick, I've done vectoir control panel and it seemed to work on some aiirports. However I still am running into the same problem. Here is OESK airport with ORBX!VECTOR_AEC switched on. and this the same airport with ORBX!VECTOR_AEC switched off. There is something wrong. As I said before ORBX!VECTOR_AEC is at number 160 in the scenery library, completely separate fron all the othe ORBX files. Should it be down there? If not where should it be?

Nick Cooper Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Hello, that is not a problem? Just run the auto configuration and if the airport is fixed, all is well. If it is not, then disable AEC yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erato Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Hello Nick, It didn't fix it. I'll just have to disable AEC. Thanks, David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDflyboy Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I experience this same (or worse) problem from time to time. After running Vector AEC some airports (KLAS for example) will have all passenger ramps in the air. Scenery library has Vector AEC near the bottom. I move it up to a position below other vector entries and problem is solved. At other times, running AEC corrects all problems. OTOH, I jst installed the new promotion KABQ scenery and absolutely cannot get it to display correctly: Nothing bt gullies, sharp cliffs, twisting runways, etc. What is a fix? or is it nothing related to ORBX?

Nick Cooper Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hello Neal, interfering with either the Orbx file structure or scenery library entries is not only counter productive, it also makes support difficult. "Passenger ramps in the air", as reported in these forums is usually a GSX matter and is in fact easily fixed. What is the "new promotion KABQ scenery", does it perhaps have its own support forum?

OLDflyboy Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 The KABQ is: simwest – Albuquerque for FSX/P3D....It was discussed in AVSIM forums. Directed to their webpage leads to their vendor. I have not checked out their site. The "old" fix re. KLAS worked okay but similar problems pop up with quite a few airports. Every time this happens the single AEC line is at the bottom of the Scenery list. Move it up and problem solved. Each run of Vector AEC after any software changes everything works properly for days. Then, for no apparent reason, flying, or missing airport parts. Sure enough Vector AEC entries back at the bottom of scenery. I know that we should not tamper with the listing but I see no other options. Troubleshooting software is not one of my skills.

Nick Cooper Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hello, as it is free to download and use, I have installed "simwest – Albuquerque for FSX/P3D". KABQ requires that Vector AEC is enabled. None of the Orbx scenery library entries for Global Base,Vector or Open LC NA have been disabled or moved about and this is what I see. The default airport: The addon airport: This product does not add the airport at all, so what you are seeing is the default airport superimposed over a demo of their photo scenery.
