glasklar Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Is it helpful for you, when users inform you about altitude problems with airports or not? I found several airports with altitude problems (i.e. SLRQ in Bolivia, although this airport is in the FTX_VECTOR_AEC folder). If you prefer, that users don't inform you about these altitude problems, because you will correct them anyway with patches in the future, please let us know it.

Thomas Zipfel Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Hello Heinz,I think it can never be wrong to report error, the only way they can be eliminated sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanSchaefer Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Yes, we are interested *IF* the airport is in the AEC Folder. Because that one has been addressed already. Ones *NOT* being in the AEC folder do not neeed to be reported as we will release them in V1.10. Best is to post a screenshot. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasklar Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Hi Stefan Here a sceenshot of SLRQ, which is already in the AEC folder. Regards, Heinz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanSchaefer Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Do you have any mesh installed? If so, which? Can you post a shot from above about 45° down? THX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasklar Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Hi Stefan A question. I use FS Global 2010 since some years. I corrected many airports with AFM tool. When in the AEC Vector Folder are also corrections of the same airports, may this causes problems, because this is a double correction?

StefanSchaefer Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Hello Heinz! A very good question! Thank you for rising this. All previously done AFM corrections should be removed (using the AFM tool). The AFM tool does no elevation correction at all. It does a mesh correction. It amends the surounding mesh to fit the (still wrong!) apt alt. Vector (from V1.10) does a real alt correction in the core files. We are working on a new AFM, which will later amend the surrounding mesh to get rid of the walls and hills the flat apt concept will always generate thus integrating apts into the surrounding mesh. Finally using the Mesh, Vector and AFM all will look like FSX/P3D default very nicely for the eye. But we can not do everything at once. These are worldwide projects.

glasklar Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Hi Stefan An other screenshot of SLRQ. As you can see, something is wrong with this airport. Both Vector folder are enabled and AFM correction removed. Heinz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 This may have slipped through the net. The FSX elevation is 898 feet, the real world seems to be also 898 feet. Vector seems to alter the elevation to about 665 feet. This is what default FSX mesh looks like and this is what I see if I activate some addon mesh But the surrounding terrain seems to be around 1400 feet, is it also in the wrong place? If there was ever a need for addon mesh, it is here Regards, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanSchaefer Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Hello Nick! Thank you for your post! Would you mind telling, which airport this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Sorry, it's the same one, SLRQ. I like to fly in South America. It looks as if the amendment in this case has possibly made it worse, not better? Regards, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanSchaefer Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 OK, understood. Some error in the DB, I guess. Will be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
