jfwharton Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I am running Global Base, OpenLC NA in the area I am flying in, Colorado. I have noticed sunken airports when flying between KDEN and KPUB. I have attached a screenshot of what I am seeing and it is more than just a couple of airports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hello, Global Base and OpenLC NA do not contain airports. Which Orbx products do you think might be the cause of this and are they on display in your screen shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfwharton Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 I will have to check on the airport. I just was reading a post of the Orbx products that are compatible with v5 and saw that vector was listed. I do not have vector installed for v5 because it didn't show up in My Products. So now I am installing vector for v5 and will recheck the sunken airports that I have seen to see if there is a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hello, as the version of Vector for P3D v5 has no airport elevation corrections in it, there will be no difference. Please have a read here: If you can name at least one of the more than just a couple of airports, I will take a look but I need to know which Orbx products I should use. Have you added anyone's "improved" mesh? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfwharton Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 I will read that thread you posted. After installing vector and seeing there is no elevation correction I went to the airport in the screenshot above, CO09. And yes it is still sunken. I will check for others. I have the Pilot's Mesh 2020 installed. I tried unchecking that in the scenery library and it made no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfwharton Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 i just finished flying the flight plan I have KDEN-KPUB and looked for the other sunken airport that I saw along that route but couldn't find it. I will continue to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hello, I went to CO09 and I see that it is indeed sunken. I looked at P3D v4 and see that both v4 and v5 versions are at 4500 feet. So are the FSX and FS9 versions. The internet seems to think that it is at 4500 feet too. As the problem seems to be with the simulator, perhaps you could post a topic at the P3D forums and see if they can fix the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfwharton Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 Thank you for looking into this. I loaded P3D v4.5 and went to CO09 and did not see the issue that exists in v5. So I will indeed post this on the P3D forum as an issue. Thank you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 It would appear that the elevation may well be correct but its location disagrees with Google Earth. Either that, or Google Earth doesn't know where it is either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
