specialist 16 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I have FSX running with DX10 fixer. I tried both configuration settings in the AESlite to DX10 Preview and without, but it made no difference. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Jonas S. 466 Posted April 14, 2015 Aerosoft Share Posted April 14, 2015 Do you have the highmemfix=1 in your fsx.cfg? Jonas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialist 16 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Yes I do have highmemfix=1 on my cfg. I also have Orbx Vector, but I ran the airport elevation configuration as I've done every time I add a scenery to my FSX, to make sure the elevation issue is fix, and that doesn't seem to work with this scenery for some reason. The island looks fine except for the airport, which I have a screenshot, but can't seem to add it on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Jonas S. 466 Posted April 15, 2015 Aerosoft Share Posted April 15, 2015 You can't upload .bmp here. Simply change it into a jpg or so and you will be able to upload it here instantly! Jonas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialist 16 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 I wasn't trying to upload a .bmp file. I was trying to link a jpg file I upload onto my photobucket account. Regardless, I've seen other post with similar screenshots with the same problem, but their advise has not worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialist 16 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Never mind, I was able to get help from someone in the FTX forum, and was able to help me get Madeira to play nice with Orbx Vector products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Jonas S. 466 Posted April 15, 2015 Aerosoft Share Posted April 15, 2015 Could you tell us the solution? That would be superb! Jonas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialist 16 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 The way to get Madeira LPMA, and Porto Santo LPPS, to play nice with Orbx Vector is this; Install the Madeira scenery as normal through Aerosoft wrapper, but there is no need to use the launcher. Now three steps by hand is still needed: FTX_VECTOR\FTX_VECTOR_APT\scenery\ ABP_LPMA.bgl ABP_LPMA_Default.inactive ABP_LPPS.bgl ABP_LPPS_Default.inactive Now run the FTX Vector Configurator - Airport Elevation Corrections Now the four files have changed as follows: ABP_LPMA.inactive ABP_LPMA_Default.bgl ABP_LPPS.inactive ABP_LPPS_Default.bgl The two files with the extension .bgl needs to be modified to .off ABP_LPMA.inactive ABP_LPMA_Default.off ABP_LPPS.inactive ABP_LPPS_Default.off At both ends of the airport are still in the water strip to see with the banks texture that can be eliminated as follow: FTX_VECTOR\FTX_VECTOR_CVX\scenery\ (before) 4320_WTR_Waterbodies.bgl (change extension from .bgl to .off) That's all. If you use MyTraffic, rename this file extension from .bgl to .off; FSX\Scenery\world\scenery\BR2_LPPS.BGL That will prevent any issues with airplanes sunken into the tarmac. However, if you use the latest MyTraffic X Professional 5.4c, the last step should not be necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted May 29, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted May 29, 2015 Hi Johnny, I just followed your description, and the situation got slightly better for me: from no buildings it changed to hovering buildings. So the elevation is still not ok. Do you, or anyone else, might have a clue or a link the to your FTX forum post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialist 16 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 FTX Compatibility Forum, but it wont let me post the link here for some reason. Just search for "Strange problem at Madeira Airport" as the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSilva 15 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I have the same problem with Madeira loading 150ft under where I'm suppose to be. I made a ticket about it: https://aerosoft.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/118361 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted May 30, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted May 30, 2015 Before I left for the day I made some advances by flipping g with the Orbx Vector files (not as described above), but still have a small hight problem. I will continue to flip around tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
