bobwad Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I've got a problem with some of the default airports in Africa. I have openLC Africa installed but disabling it makes no difference - I still get the same result as shown in the screenshots below at Cairo (HECA). I've tried a couple of freeware addon airports (OMAA & OMDB) and they're fine. I'd be glad to hear if anyone has any suggestions on resolving this. Thanks, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobwad Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hi Smudger, No I don't have any third party mesh for Africa. I have Toposim Europe & Asia installed. I did wonder if installing Africa would help with this issue. Cheers, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hi you tried Vector AEC? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobwad Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 No. I should have mentioned I'm running P3D v5 so Vector not compatible. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in the Freeware section, it has to be worth a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 The problem seems to be the elevation of the airport runways. The airport background looks to be level with the terrain. This would tend to rule out mesh as the potential cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobwad Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hi, Thanks for all your responses. I installed Toposim Africa last night but I'm afraid it's made no difference. Not sure where to go with this. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hello, this may not be relevant but another topic with a similar problem has just reached a conclusion and it turned out that the customer had added software that updates airport elevation. Could that be it, bearing in mind that LM have themselves updated the airports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobwad Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hi Nick, The only software I've added for Africa is Orbx's Global Buildings, HD Trees, TerraFlora, openLC Africa and Toposim Africa continent bundle. I've also got 2 freeware airports in Africa, OMAA and OMDB but I don't have this problem with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobwad Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 A quick update - problem now resolved!! I deleted both the P3D.cfg and scenery.cfg files and let P3D create new ones. don't know why I didn't think to try that first. Thank you Smudger and Nick for your help.
