Well, solved the floating issue...

Just ran ORBX AEC, and migration process, and everything went well.... Interesting its affecting some specific portions of the airport structure.

A little thing i can see is that my airplanes are sunken into the ground a bit:

I guess that might be reviewed soon...

I hope this information is useful for anyone...

Happy Flying!

Hello Raphael,

Is this sinking just in that area or do you have in other sections as well, such as taxiways/runways?

thank you

I see it is happening all over the scenery.

In some areas, like runways(where i think there are other layers, like runway effects) it feels like sunken a bit deeper sometimes, but i bet its part of the visual effect betwen the elevation layer and some effects layer and all related to the elevation issue.

For expl next picture I think its the tires marks visual layer that seems even above the "elevation issue layer", so wheels seem really sunken into the ground at this point:

I forgot to mention that my simulator is comming from a fresh windows format, fully updated and P3DV4.4 Full installation. Just in case its important to mention that given your recommendation inside the manual.

Thanks for support,

All right, Thanks...

BTW, using GSX i see people head over the jetway roof.... its more of the same i bet, since GSX is based on airport's height.... There are a couple of videos around about it....

Looking forward for advice/update.... Txs

You can see people head over the jetway, and they start descending until you can not see their head near the airplane. My guessing: Airport altitude below the issue layer, but GSX takes issue layer as reference and people walk in the air? Its a very bad non-technical explanation, but i hope this info is usefull for your investigation and the elevation issue...

Thanks for support

Hi, I am posting about a similar issue to the OP's first question. I also have floating buildings and spike looking things. I also have Z-fighting on the taxiways when I look at them from a certain angle. I have run Orbx AEC many times and it hasn't fixed a thing and I have moved the scenery all up and down the priority list. I am loving the scenery keep up the amazing work! Thanks for the support too! Got some pictures it is hard to show the Z-fighting but it is happening pretty bad.
