Tim K Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I did a flight into KBVS and on approach something looked goofy. Once I landed, I saw this... I tried turning the vector elevations on/off and both show the same texture problems. I also just tried verifying files. Suggestions? Thanks!

Nick Cooper Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hello, the problem is not textures but elevation. Have you added software that updates navigation data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hi Nick! The only thing I can think of as far as navigation data was 2 months ago, I did a 1 month subscription to Navigraph and updated all that data. I used their programs for a month and downloaded the navdata for my fleet and then cancelled the subscription. Is something like that what you are asking about?

Nick Cooper Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hello, did you have to add anything to your simulator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 um... no 100% sure. It was an auto installer, so it just did it's thing. It basically updated the waypoints, sids, stars, etc in the sim and in all the fms's of the various aircraft. One thing I know is when I installed navigraph for the Carenado aircraft, it created a "CarenadoNavigraph" folder in the root Prepare3d v4 folder...

Nick Cooper Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Can you see anything in the scenery library that might be to do with that? Ideally, can you attach a copy of your scenery.cfg file please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 I am definitely a novice when it comes to the scenery library so it doesn't stand out to me. But here it is! One thing I noticed is there seems to be some duplicate sceneries/paths... is that normal? scenery.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Hello, thanks. I am, I think, looking at an Orbx version of KBVS and yet there is no sign of it in that scenery library. I guess that it is installed into an Orbx Central Library? If so, can you attach a copy of your add-ons.cfg file please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Correct. It is the Orbx version of KBVS. The buildings are there and even the airport markings are there on the tarmac but the ground textures and the elevations are just goofy. Also correct, it is supposed to be in an Orbx Central Library. When I look in my scenery library, isn't KBVS item #36? Attached is my current add-ons.cfg Thanks! add-ons.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Any further insight here? When I open "Add-ons" on the main P3dv4 menu, KBVS is not listed there. But it is when I click "Scenery." I just tried uninstalling KBVS and the re-installing it. When P3dv4 started up, it asked if I wanted to add KBVS to the add-ons and I clicked "yes." Or whatever the wording is. I don't remember exactly... I also am having the same issue with PAJN. Same problem as above. Listed in the scenery library but not in "Add-ons" on the main P3dv4 menu... All the other Orbx airports I have flown into and out of lately work perfectly... Any thoughts? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hello, that add-ons.cfg file is empty. Can you attach the one from C:\programdata\Lockheed martin\Prepar3d v4\ please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hi, Empty? Really? Hmmm... That is the one that is attached above. When I open it, the first bit is empty, but if you scroll down, the addons are there... Do you see that or is it completely empty for you? Here's my most recent one after trying to reinstall KBVS and PAJN. add-ons.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Can you try getting rid of the huge blank area please. I don't think P3D did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 I can do that. Do you think that has an effect on how the file functions and might be a cause of the issues at KBVS and PAJN? I'm doing a flight right now, so I'll change it when I land and close P3d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Okay, I deleted the empty space... Attached is my current "add-ons.cfg" and "scenery.cfg." Neither KBVS nor PAJN are displaying correctly. Still the elevation issues. add-ons.cfg scenery.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 Any ideas? Anyone? I flew into PAVD yesterday and the same issue is going on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 I also have this issue in the broader Southern Alaska Region: Seward, Homer that I know of for sure. These are default airports in the Southern Alaska Region... Any thoughts or ideas to try? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 If anyone stumbles across this post having similar issues and having the same problem where Orbx seems to have stopped responding and offering ideas, I solved it, somewhat by accident. Today, I (finally) updated to the latest hotfix (#3) for p3dv4.5. I updated the client only using the prescribed method. I also deleted my cfg and my shaders to let p3d rebuild those after the fresh client install. Then, after a short flight, I closed the sim, applied a PTA preset, and was off flying again! After a flight, I decided to try the various airports (KBVS, PAJN, PAVD, PAWD) I noticed the elevation/texture issue at because I had read that sometimes, if there are scenery issues, it could be related to the cfg or the shaders. Well, all those airports are working wonderfully again! So, I don't know what the actual solution was in that process but it worked. If I have this issue again, I'll probably delete the cfg and the shaders and let p3d rebuild those on it's own. For the record, I love Orbx! You offer great products and, most of the time, great support! Nick was very quick to respond and offered help often early on. I am just a little frustrated that no one has responded since March 31... no ideas, no things to try, nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
