Marc Muller Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hello everybody I re installed my flightsim computer 2 days ago, (on an imac with bootcamp) I installed fsx with acceleration, the PMDG 777 and all my Orbx scenerys only, nothing else. I have activated ftx global in hybrid mode in the ftx central. Now, i went to KSEA for a flight, but there are hills all over the runway, which i can fly/drive/taxy through. Did anybody already experienced something like this?? Many thanks Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hi Marc, first off, make sure you have PNW patched to the current level, SP7: http://www.fullterrain.com/support.html If the issue persists it could be a third-party add-on for KSEA, including terrain mesh add-ons or AI add-ons that include airport elevation adjustments. In earlier versions of PNW we had given KSEA a non-default elevation but with the current version we reverted to the default 433ft to help with compatibility. If you can't find an obvious culprit (searching for files with "KSEA" in their names outside of the FTX folders and without "FTX" as part of their names often helps) then perhaps post a couple of screenshots to help with a visual diagnosis: Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Muller Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 after further Trial, i think that only KPAE is affected . I did try out a few more Airports around the Seattle area , and i only have the Problem in KPAE Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holger Sandmann Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi Marc, please run a Windows search for all .bgl files that include KPEA as part of their names and post a list or screenshot of the result with full file and folder names. How to post screenshots in our forum: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/38447-how-to-post-a-screenshot-on-the-orbx-forums/ Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Muller Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 hi holger i only have one file which has kpae in it... ADE_FTX_PNW_KPAE_elevation_adjustment that is the only one available.... Many thanks for your help Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hi Marc, I'm not just talking about \Scenery\World\scenery but your entire FSX folder tree. For KPAE there should be the following PNW files: ADE_FTX_PNW_KPAE_Snohomish_Co.BGL ADE_FTX_PNW_KPAE_Snohomish_Co_CVX.bgl FTX_PNW_objects_KPAE_PLC.bgl FTX_PNW_KPAE_custom_hangers_PLC.bgl FTX_PNW_KPAE_custom_hangers_lib.bgl 2_orthoimage_WA_SE2005_PaineField_KPAE.bgl ADE_FTX_PNW_KPAE_elevation_adjustment.BGL plus whatever other add-on you may have, which are the files we're looking for.

Marc Muller Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 hi Holger i did a FSX Folder search, and came up with the following i have no other files with KPAE in it here... Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hi Marc, is this with FTX Central set to North America? If so the odd thing is that the elevation adjustment file in \Scenery World\scenery has the extension .OFF, which means it's inactive. Renaming the extension to .bgl should fix the issue. Make sure though that all other ADE_FTX_PNW_{ICAO}_elevation_adjustment files in that folder are also set to .bgl. If not try cycling FTX Central once to Oceania and then back to North America.

Marc Muller Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Brilliant Holger that made it work again...I had FTX Central on Global with Hybrid, I went to Oceania, then to North America, then the files were .bgl´s again. I then switched back to global with hybrid, and now i got normal scenery again... i saw that they were all OFF files, but had no clue what that meant... thanks for your help Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
