kevinatkinson 0 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I have just purchased Madeira, but as can be seen from the screen shots I am having issues. I do have FTX Global, FTX Open land class for EU and FTX Vectors installed. I have used the FTX Global Vector configuration tool to try and correct the elevations at LPMA but success has been limited. Has anyone else had this issue or have any suggestions for me?FSX, Windows 7 - 64 bit, Intel Core i7 - 2600K CPU at 3.4GHz, 8 GB RAMRegards, Kevin Please login to display this image.

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted November 1, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 1, 2015 The hints in this video might help.Although it's for P3D the black northern tip of the runway was also visible there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinatkinson 0 Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Hi Tom,The modifications re apx43200.madeira (and 4320) were already there, and AFX_LPMA_ALT.gbl and LPPS were already in the correct folder. So I still have the issue of the buildings and the aircraft being partially below the level of the apron.Regards, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted November 1, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 1, 2015 Looks as only the AI traffic is affected. What kind of traffic tool are you using. Seems as if its AFCAD uses the wrong elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinatkinson 0 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 AI Traffic V1.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted November 2, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 2, 2015 Disable it or at least try to find the corresponding bgl file(s) and disable this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinatkinson 0 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hi, I decided to un-install and see the outcome below. The buildings still look like an issue.

Jason Cardeira 4 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 You must create a new scenery folder, and add an extra .bgl for the elevation fix. That folder must be above Madeira X in the scenery priority library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted November 4, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'm sure that there are some leftovers from either the AI Traffic tool or another scenery. Or the order in the scenery library is not correct. As you can see here, I do not have such a problem, installed with all the Orbx stuff, FS Global Ultimate as mesh and MyTraffic as AI tool: Please login to display this image. To further help you: Post a screenshot of your library showing LPMAs position serach your entire FSX folder for files with LPMA in its name, search string should look like this: *LPMA*.bgl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox956 2 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Hi, I'm having the same type of problem although I'm using P3Dv3. I installed the scenery for the first time last night an when I select the active runway I found myself sitting on the level of the shoreline with the airport floating above me. I've tried all the above mentioned ideas with the files and I still have the same problem. I've also checked to see if I had duplicated files and there were none. I don't have any FTX products installed. A reply a few entries back mentions another or extra ".bgl" file for the elevation fix needs to be added to the scenery library, which file should I be looking for?

fox956 2 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Hi, No, on one said LPMA was compatible with P3Dv3, but it is compatible with P3Dv2 and I still have the same problem, below the ground with the buildings and runway floating.

It has also not been compatible with P3Dv2. But with the fix from simmershome you will be able to get it up and running. I made it running in P3Dv3 with that fix. http://simmershome.de/madeira-fuer-p3d-v2-fix/ You should use Google Translate for getting the instructions in English.

kevinatkinson 0 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hi Jason, Not quite sure what you mean by creating another directory "You must create a new scenery folder, and add an extra .bgl for the elevation fix. That folder must be above Madeira X in the scenery priority library". Second part I am clear on but would extra .bgl be for example ABP_LPMA_ALT_elevation_adjustment-.bgl?

I followed the instructions closely and could not get the scenery to appear correctly in P3D v3.1, I spent 4 hours trying to fix it the other night and I could not get rid of a plateau area from about midway along rwy 05/23. I do have Orbx global running. Glad that you were able to get it sorted out Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted February 17, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted February 17, 2016 Not sure if there are differences between P3Dv3.0 and v3.1. I am still on v3.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Halmich 8 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 There shouldn't be a difference. I found a post by mopperle and I think I might have installed Madeira while FTX Central was set not set to Global. I'll try again and see what it looks like.
