farman Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Hi, since I read about a not so near upgrade of Vector to v5, waht about the lots of airport elevation issues made in v4.5? Thanks for any help & regards, Fulvio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Hello, as Vector will not work in P3D v5, any elevation errors will have another cause. Do you have anywhere in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farman Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 Hi Nick, thanks for your answer; my question is of a general interest, since I'm reinstalling airports in v5 (so far a tenth is working without any issue); but before or after I'll face some elevation trouble; and I remember that in the Orbx airport pack there were airports that needed to be fixed by the Vector tool. I was wondering if I might copy and paste part of the ALT .bgl files in the Scenery/World/Scenery folder. Fulvio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Hello, alt files in that folder don't work. Also, LM have updated a great many airports, so the Global Vector airport data may well not even match any more. I think you might create more problems than you might solve.

farman Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 I think you're right, Nick. Perhaps it's much better to face and fix issue by issue, when it'll appear. Thanks for your advice. Fulvio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Haley Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 So is this the end of Vector, can we finally say goodbye to this software? If so, is it because V5 contains its own vector data that is completely adequate? Without Vector, Pilots won't be able to push the interface with Vector and its mesh product. I see they have something new on the market for mesh for v5 Never mind, I have my answer from the forums One notable exception to this will be Orbx Global VECTOR; at this point we are not intending to port this title to the new platform. The data within in Prepar3D v5 is much newer and complete and makes Global VECTOR less relevant. Airport data in Global VECTOR is also incompatible with Prepar3D v5. Though Global VECTOR does have additional features such as road tunnels and custom textures, at this stage we do not intend to modify it for Prepar3D v5.

DriverX Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Is this true? The new V5 has such an accurate vectorfile, that this software will be obsolete in future? Thanks for the replies. Bye Pascal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
