msanem 0 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I upgraded and installed PANC Professional. When I load the airport, the plane and all the airport vehicles are about 15 feet above the runways and tarmac. Whether I check Southern Alaska scenery or not in the configuration settings, it is the same. (I do have Southern Alaska) I have FTX Global installed and ran the airport tool. Still, all the vehicles are 10-15 feet above the airport. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingnut 60 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Hello; Go to this link on the ORBX site,it tells you how to correct the issues,it works for FSX,and Prepar 3D V3,not sure about the Professional version.

msanem 0 Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Thank you for the lead. The professional file set up is quite different than the previous versions. It looks like there are 2 sets of terrain BGL's in the scenery file. One set for ORBX, one set for users without that product. The configuration tool switches which set is in use. With either set I get the same floating vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msanem 0 Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Last update: I disabled ALL my orbx, SAK, STX Global vector. Same problem. The box trucks driving around in the air are pretty entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Herman 1591 Posted January 11, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 11, 2018 Might be something with your install. I too have Orbx SAK and just installed Anchorage Pro with antivirus off and as Administrator. Simply ran the Airport Elevation Corrections tool in FTX Central and did not need to disable any Orbx files after selecting "FTX Southern Alaska (SAK) is used" in the Aerosoft/SimWings PANCConfig tool. As you can see from my screenshots at the airline gates and at the GA side, everything looks fine. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image. I noticed during the install that the default installation directory was in the dreaded "Program Files (x86)" folder, so I changed it to "P3D\Ecosystem\Aerosoft". It seems to me unlikely that by installing (if you did) into the default folder that UAC is messing up you or the FTX Central tool, but it might be worth reinstalling somewhere else and letting the FTX Central tool rework its magic.

msanem 0 Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 That sounds like it could be it. But when I searched in the search window it only came up with the PANC bgl files in the anchorage folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let us know if installing outside "Program Files (x86)" solves the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msanem 0 Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Thanks a lot for your help and ideas. I uninstalled and re-installed to the ecosystem folder as you suggested. Ran the elevation config tool. Still had the same problem. Then I uninstalled SAK and FTX vector AND PANC professional. I reinstalled PANC professional and ran it without installing the other two. I still have the same problem. Very strange. I appreciate your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer OPabst 2091 Posted January 11, 2018 Developer Share Posted January 11, 2018 Please check, if in the folder <P3DV4>\Scenery\World\Scenery is any File related to PANC (the AFX_PALH_ALT.BGL is from Anchorage Prof. and ok there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msanem 0 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Thank you for your time and idea. Yes, the AFX_PALH_ALT.BGL is there in the Scenery\World\Scenery folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
