Stratocruiser Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I have installed SAK and there is a problem at PAKT. I got a surprise when I tried to land there after a flight from PAWG. There was no runway, just grass with runway lights, and a big trench at the threshold of RW 29, and the taxiway leading to the ramp. As you can see by the screen shots, something is not right. The last screen shot shows it with Central placed in Global position and seems to be what it should look like. I have moved the addon scenery up to the top of my scenery library, just below the latest Libs_P3Dv2_140518, but that didn't help. I do not have the extra addon airport product for PAKT. Any thoughts?Thanks.Howardhttp://images2.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp83232%3Euqcshlukaxroqdfv7594%3Dot%3E2729%3D364%3D348%3DXROQDF%3E28467989%3A%3C257ot1lsihttp://images2.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp83232%3Euqcshlukaxroqdfv4825%3Dot%3E2729%3D364%3D348%3DXROQDF%3E28467968%3B5257ot1lsihttp://images2.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp83232%3Euqcshlukaxroqdfv4328%3Dot%3E2729%3D364%3D348%3DXROQDF%3E28467968%3B6257ot1lsihttp://images2.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp83232%3Euqcshlukaxroqdfv4683%3Dot%3E2729%3D364%3D348%3DXROQDF%3E28467989%3B3257ot1lsihttp://images2.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp83232%3Euqcshlukaxroqdfv4724%3Dot%3E2729%3D364%3D348%3DXROQDF%3E28467989%3B4257ot1lsihttp://images2.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp83232%3Euqcshlukaxroqdfv39%3A%3C%3Dot%3E2729%3D364%3D348%3DXROQDF%3E28467968%3B7257ot1lsi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabnz Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Do you have Vector? If so use the tool to fix it. Is your mesh set to 5m? Just a couple of thoughts. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratocruiser Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Rob, Are you with Orbx? Did you see my request to remove the top screen shot from my post/ Please see if someone can do this. No, I do not have PAKT. Thanks, Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Newman Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 PAKT is outside of the SAK coverage area... It's actually in the PFJ region. If you are setting FTX Central to North America, then flying outside of the North American regions (in your case SAK), then you are likely to find such terrain errors. A quick way to check if this is the cause would be to select "default" in FTX central and check PAKT again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratocruiser Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Rob, Sorry I misunderstood your question. Yes, I do have both SAK and PFJ. Can I fix it somehow? Thanks. Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I do not have PAKT. Thanks, Howard Sorry... I had another look, and amended my response... As for the image, while I am part of the beta team here, I don't have the access needed to change another person's post... Someone with will get round to it however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratocruiser Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Rob, Yes, PAKT looks normal if I click Default in the FTX Central app. See the bottom screen shot. Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Newman Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Ok... I think we keep replying at the same time If you have PFJ also, then it could be a conflict with a 3rd party traffic add-on. If you're using a traffic package, check to see if it has installed an alternate PAKT file (or files) as these can conflict with those provided by the FTX regions. If that doesn't help, I'm not sure what the issue might be... But I'm sure someone on the developer team will be glad to help once they're awake One last thing to note, your screenshots almost look like PFJ has not installed correctly... Try reinstalling PFJ and the libraries and see if that helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friedi Gulder Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 sorry, but PAKT is not ready for P3D v.2.2 - only FSX and P3D v.1.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratocruiser Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 OK, I have it fixed now. Just for the record I have the following Orbx scenery packages installed in my P3D. FTX AA ORBX LIBRARIES VER 140518 18th May 2014 FTX NA CRM Central Rocky Mountains V1.00 Patch 003 April 2014 FTX NA NCA Northern California V1.00 February 2014 FTX NA NRM Northern Rocky Mountains V1.00 PATCH 004 April 2014 FTX NA PFJ Pacific Fjords V1.1 Patch 004 April 2014 FTX NA PNW PACIFIC NORTHWEST V1.0 PATCH 008 February 2014 FTX NA SAK Southern Alaska and YT/BC V1.00 Patch 003 April 2014 FTX open LC Europe Region 8 (Iceland Demo) Version 1.00 - October 2013 Note that when I added the Iceland package the Default setting in my Central program changed to Global. I have not added any detailed airport packages yet. I deleted the PFJ completely from my P3D program, set Central on Global (Default) started the P3D program and everything looked OK. Of course it looked like regular default scenery at PAKT. I then shut down P3D and did a new install of the PFJ scenery into it, cycled the Central program a couple of times, selected North America and started P3D. It now looks proper. No trench and I have the full runway and lots of eye candy from Orbx to explore. I then shut down P3d, changed the Central to Global and started P3D. Every- thing looks normal at PAKT in regular P3D default scenery. Shut down and changed Central back to North America and started up again at PAKT. Fantastic scenery. It must have been something wrong with my first install of the PFJ package. Thank you all for your suggestions and help. As usual the people here are the best. Please mark this as Resolved.

Rob Newman Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Glad to see the PFJ re-install did the job Have fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
