VNY Elevation Issues with Burbank


Recommended Posts

So, BUR is good, and the surrounding scenery looks great so far!  I am however having some pretty profound issues with VNY that don't seem to have been reported by anyone else.

I do not have any conflicting VNY scenery.  Below is a screenshot when I search my P3D folder for VNY references:

I have tried Vector AEC, tried disabling the APB file, the VNY height File, and the SCA scenery.  For kicks, I also tried disabling the BUR package VNY files and leaving the SCA scenery intact which produced even worse elevation results.  I'm at a bit of a loss on this one.  Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 

The scenery has been design to work without doing any modification to sca files, so please do not touch sca files.

Check if the kbur scenery is above ( in the scenery library ) sca and above ( if you have ) any other kvny scenery.

 

If you have other kvny scenery active, please disable it

 

Cheers

Hey Matteo, 

 

Thanks for taking time.  BUR is layered above SCA.  I have no other VNY products.  That file list is all I have when I search "*VNY" in my entire P3D folder.  When I deactivate BUR, and just have SCA running, I have no issues at VNY.

With 5mt you should have fixed the problem

I was hopeful too at the time haha.  The elevation of the BUR package ADE for VNY is different from that of the SCA one.  Not sure if that factors in at all.  I can poke around some more.  It may very well be unique to me for whatever reason.  Either that, or no one else is flying to VNY which I don't think is the case.

That is weird, if bur scenery is above sca scenery, sim mesh set to 5mt and you have all the files inside bur scenery you should not have any problems :)

Agreed

All seems fine on my side

You're very welcome @medx421

Here my settings in case this could help

 

First I own Free Mesh 2.0 along with everything produced by Orbx for this region

I have not altered anything in SCL or Vector (actually the code KVNY doesn't show in Vector in either side) KBUR is on the left, enabled

My KBUR airport is among the airports list above SCA and I have it installed within P3D root. I have P3D v4.5 with the hotfix3

Libraries updated and windows updated to 2004 version and also the runtime and visual stuff

I also have GSX ( now that I mention visual C++ and runtime)

 

When I search in the whole Orbx folder under KVNY this is what shows up:

And this is my configuration, not sure if this could affect somehow but if all is ok with the above then this could be a possibility...?

Hope you can fix it as I know how awful it feels to have a Chucky product :(

@carlosqr Again, thank you for taking the extra time.  Our set up is pretty similar.  I also run FreemeshX and have my scenery installed in the P3D root.  We have the same files when I did the search.  Our settings are pretty much dead on similar.  I figured I'd try to uninstall and reinstall the Burbank package.  Before I reinstalled, I just went and captured a shot of SCA:

That is fine with no problems.  However on re-install, I am back where I have the issue:

Note, it really is only the runways that are affected.  On the ground is much more pronounced dips and what not.  It's like the runway elevation is just off a few feet, or that the underlying terrain isn't flattened for the airport.  In any event, it is something in this package that is causing this issue for me.  The search continues.

Hi,

 

First,

Sorry are you sure to have simulator mesh to 5mt? it is very important 

 

Once checked, try to copy and paste these files inside Burbank/scenery.

Also make SURE to do not have any other kvny installed above kbur scenery in the scenery library order. Should work after these checks. If not i do not have more ideas :(

 

Cheers

 

Thanks

@Matteo Veneziani It isn't your fault.  I just have something quirky going on.  I have no other instances of VNY anywhere and I am running 5m:

Interestingly, I took the KVNY_ADEP4_ADE.bgl file and raised the airport elevation up 10 feet in ADE.  I went from undulations in the runway, to now the runway being on top of everything.  10 feet is too much, but I can get that fine tuned too:

Before I try that though, I'll reset the files and try the files you have attached.  Thank you.

@Matteo Veneziani Again, thank you for the extra time you put in.  The three files you attached didn't make any difference in my individual situation.  I did however, go in and raise the airport elevation 1 foot.  That has given me the VNY that you intended to show.  While I may never get to the bottom of what was causing my original issue, I have VNY working.  Thank you again for all of your time.  Well above and beyond.  Additionally, the whole package is amazing.  I have a special place in my heart for this area as my son lives in NoHo.
