Mysterious elevation problems with all my airports!

G8tr · May 18, 2020 at 4:01 AM

I was moving files a while back trying to add some scenery and screwed my file structures up. My Location screen was totally black! Got some help from this forum to try to fix my issues. I thought I had finally gotten everything where it belonged because my Location screen was normal (finally!). Then I loaded a plane on a runway, and saw that I had a double elevation of the runways and the whole airport and my aircraft was in mid air! Not just that airport, but every other one as well! Elevations and buildings immediately around the airports also seemed off, while the regular, distant landscape scenery/elevations appeared ok. It's hard to explain so I have attached some shots. So much for feeling smug about getting better at this. I welcome any thoughts, ideas, explanations, jokes, whatever... I just want to get back to normal! Thanks!

The plane is sitting on solid ground and could takeoff.

Not an approach shot...0 airspeed. Also, San Diego is looking pretty rough.

Nice hover. Nice crater too. sigh....

I have the same problem, occasionally. Airports area images seems to be intentionally lowered in Aerofly to create a flat ground. So that’s model loading failure, not elevation problem. Last time it occurs to me in LAX, along with all autogens.

Try reentering the game and the problem should be solved.

Yes, it isn't an elelvation problem. It's an airport issue, that are obviously present but for some reason don't show up properly.

The typical reason could be a missing texture or set of textures that are shared between airports.

I'm afraid if you don't know exactly what you moved and where, then maybe you can fix this issue but leave behind some other undetected problems that popup in the future...

Steam has a very convenient feature to check files integrity and repair, you should really try it.

In case you're using the DVD box, then reinstall.

Cheers

Oh it’s terrible it remembers me Infinite Fl🤬. Bad souvenirs.

By the way, since Aerofly 2019 to 2020, LSGC is over 10000 ft which is completely out of reality.

As Antoine said: Please verify the game file integrity in Steam. And if you have the DVD or download version you need to reinstall it.

Not on our side, could this be caused by some add-on? Are you referring to the mobile version having this issue or the desktop version?

Hi.

I’m referring to the mobile version AFS2019/2020.

If I remember well (I always avoid this airport by now). The ILS should be placed at the good position but the TOD is based on a 10000 ft airport.

Thanks for the feedback. Guess I’ll have to reload the sim.

Please post mobile version issues in the proper sub-forum. This is for the PC/Mac version.

I had posted it in the contact form last year. So it is done
