Terminal B problem

[mrobertsco2]

I'm sure this problem was already addressed and I missed it, but I just downloaded the KDFW program and registered it for FSX. It is my 5th airport download from you guys, but the first one I have had trouble with. Terminal B and part of Terminal A show up underground, or only their roofs are showing. Therfore, the jetways are not connected to a building. Is there a quick fix for this? thanks

That looks like an elevation problem caused by a 3rd party mesh you have installed.

From the Scenery Library, disable all 3rd party mesh products you have installed, one by one, followed by an FSX restart every time you disable/enable an area, until you find the offending one.

So, within the scenery library, what would I be looking for? Besides the FSDT files, I have emptied my addon scenery folder and I no longer have any add ons running in the simulator. I'm not really sure what a mesh program is or looks like.

"just" disabling (there wasn't any need to "empty" the folder, it was enough to *disable* the area in the Scenery Library) the "Addon Scenery" folder results in removing JUST add-on sceneries in THAT folder, but 3rd party sceneries can be in every other place you still haven't disabled.

As I've said, from the Scenery Library, disable all 3rd party mesh products you have installed, one by one, followed by an FSX restart every time you disable/enable an area, until you find the offending one.

So if you wouldn't mind. Could you help explain to me what you mean by disabling all 3rd party meshes. I know this is an old topic, but it is a recurring issue and honestly the only problem I am still experiencing in FSX currently. I understand that the scenery library is the place where all these data files are kept in bgl form, but how do I know which ones to get rid of, in which folders, etc? thanks

Only you can possibly know what you have installed in your FSX. Unfortunately, there's no way to automatically telling which .BGLs contains mesh data. The FSX Airport Scanner utility search for airports, but there's no similar utility to search for mesh files.

So, the only way is to disable each item in the Scenery Library, one by one, and proceed by exclusion, until you find the offending one.

And of course, you mesh settings should be set as explained in the KDFW manual, in the "Design Notes" paragraph.

Thanks Umberto. I appreciate the help.
