answered River and elevation not correct in Sweden

[Tjader]

llo,

 

One of my order numbers or transactions IDs are 5c29e21743983.

 

Problem

When I fly in the Northern part of Sweden the elevation seems incorrect but most concerning is that rivers and bridges are missing.

The images below are from the small airport ESUR located near the village Ramsele.

I have also attached the settings from FSX.

 

I am with great interest looking forward your reply.

 

Kind regards and a Happy New Year.

Hello Lars, welcome to the forums.

These are my settings in FSX, yours do seem to be rather sparse.

A happy New Year to you and yours

Hi Smudger,

 

Yes, I agree. I have now changed it to your setting which gave me much more buildings and enabled some of the airports, however, the airport ESUR is still incorrect, with rivers and bridges  missing.

 

Thanks, Lars

Hello Lars

This is what I see at ESUR Ramsele with Orbx Vector and Open LC Europe and unless you have a 3rd party addon, for you the same.

You are correct that it does not match Plan-G or Google Earth, river missing close by.

I do not know if it is just an FSX airfield or an Orbx entry with Vector. There are no entries in Vector AEC, to enable Airport Elevation Correction.

Hello,

I confirm that this water is missing.

We could try asking @Sabretooth78 if there is anything to be done.

This is the closest I can get it to match Google Earth etc, create a folder named ESUR and extract the zip into that.

Place into FSX - Addon scenery and add to your scenery library.

Hi Smudger,

 

That was very kind of you. Now it looks soo much better and tt least I can orientate myself when approaching. 

 

Many thanks, Lars

Hi,

 

I took Apple map and if I look at the scenery using the map view you have the correct position of roads and waters. Why are not Orbx using  that type of view to get the correct placement and types? 
 

Thanks, Lars

Hello,

Orbx Vector was developed by a sub-contractor some long time ago.

It has anomalies but to date, many of them, including this one, have not been addressed.

There is no longer a relationship between the sub-contractor and Orbx but I think that you have your fix,

as kindly supplied by Smudger, to whom I am extremely grateful.

I am not sure if you are aware of or use the shortcut Toogle_Airport_Name_Display to locate airports while in flight.

But if you do here is a replacement APX52090 to be placed in FSX - Scenery - 0601 - scenery

Although the ESUR airfield moved successfully, the Airport Reference Position did not, so I have edited the bgl

It is not quite accurate as Ramsele is not shown right over the new position, but slightly to the side.    APX52090.rar

Hi Smudger,

 

I start to wonder how I survived with out knowing you. 

No, I did not know that and will place the file in the folder you stated. 

I will try it tomorrow with a Pilatus-PC 12

 

Thanks, Lars

Hi Lars

If you just drag it into the folder it will ask to overwrite as there is already a APX52090 file.

As a safety precaution you may wish to create a copy of the original file in a safe place, before putting the edited vesion in your FSX - Scenery - 0601 - scenery

[Tjader]

Done, I will try it tomorrow

I goofed, checking again on Google Earth, I placed ESUR too far North.

I have redone ESUR in the correct position and all is sweet with the finding airport shortcut.

All info is contained within the zip file.
