Nick Cooper Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Hello, the reason for this is that the airport runway extension was built on reclaimed land. Orbx Vector was produced when the available data did not include this reclaimed land and it over rides the P3D v5 default vector data. I see that you bought Vector long ago, so a no cost option for you would be to disable it before flying in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Another no cost option would be to use a freeware addon, grenadinesv2.zip at the Avsim File Library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilK Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 Nick, thank you for your explanation! I now know what happens. Will look for the suggested addon, but generally speaking, I am not flying often in this area... Was just flying from Colombia to USA, with some island hopping en route. Have a good evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilK Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 Rechecking that airport... In fact, the missing terrain extension and airport background do appear into P3Dv5.2.22 with Vector active, but they are textured as water, not as background or shoreline... So far, I will leave it as is, and install the Grenadines when returning to the Carribean area. Thank you for your support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
