Layers and Evelation issues

[juniormafia27]

So I load up KLAS and KIAH.  Then I have this problem.  Layers off and elevation issues. Can not figure out how to fix it.

I bet for KLAS you have the usual problem caused by OrbX, so you should download the OrbX fix from the OrbX forum. Don't know about KIAH, but it's likely a similar issue.

Hi all,
 
FSDreamTeam's KLAS McCarran International Airport, product page: http://www.fsdreamteam.com/products_klas.html
 
 
Update June 9th, 2017: with the release of FSDT's new version of KLAS there was an issue with my custom flatten file, cvx_FTX-SCA_FSDT-KLAS_compatibility.BGL. The updated version is attached to this post, all other changes/instructions remain as before.
Also please note that FSDT has "{...} updated the Live Updater (which will update itself when started), to recognize that fix, so it won't remove the OrbX fix, and won't restore our original CVX file, if the OrbX fix is installed in the klas\scenery folder."; see http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,15841.msg113806.html#msg113806
 
 
================
In order to achieve compatibility with SCA, some KLAS FSDT and SCA files need to be deactivated and a patch file added into the KLAS folder:
 
DEACTIVATE: (by renaming from .bgl to .bgl.off)
>>> in \ORBX\FTX_NA\FTX_NA_SCA05_SCENERY\scenery

FTX_SCA_objects_KLAS_PLC.bgl.OFF
ADE_FTX_SCA_KLAS_CVX.bgl.OFF
ADE_FTX_SCA_KLAS.bgl.OFF
 
>>> in \Scenery\World\Scenery
ADE_FTX_SCA_KLAS_elevation_adjustment.BGL.OFF
 
>>> in \fsdreamteam\KLAS\scenery

mesh_terrain.bgl.OFF
CVX_KLAS.BGL.OFF

ADD: (by extracting and moving the file attached below)

>>> in \fsdreamteam\KLAS\scenery
cvx_FTX-SCA_FSDT-KLAS_compatibility.BGL
 
 
The patch file will replace the KLAS flatten polygon with a version that smooths the edges of the "plateau" with the help of extensive sloped flattens.
 
Remaining minor issues:
* some of the SCA autogen is excluded by an unknown FSDT files in the NE corner

...also if you don't have this file "CVX_KLAS.BGL.OFF"....no worries.  Disregard it and move on.  Onece you are done you need to go to Orbx Central.  Then to Vectors, click Control Panel,  go to Airport Elevation  Corrections, then exclude KLAS, lastly click apply.  Then you should be good.


Let me know how it goes.

yea but i don't have ORBX installed this time
i think its the COUATL module cause i don't see it in my menu.

If you are missing the Couatl menu, you won't have the same problem discussed here, which shows elevation problems in the scenery, but you will miss the WHOLE airport.

There are so many threads about missing Couatl or Addon Manager menu so, please, read the forum for the possible solutions. The most common cause is the antivirus, which must be disabled and configured to exclude the whole Addon Manager folder from scanning.
