Luton elevation issues

[Postman306]

Dear Inibuilds team,

thanks for this great scenery, the attention to detail is immaculate! 

However i am experiencing some issues with elevation. (see pictures below) 

I have the world update for UK installed and no other versions of Luton on my system. 

Photogrammetry and all streaming seattings are set to on. 

Any idee why this might happen?

Thanks a lot!

Hi @Postman306

Try to disable photogrammetry and then enable it again. This seems like the terrain data for this area hasn't been loaded into your sim as yet. 
Alternatively, you can also try to clear your Rolling Cache (if enabled) and clear your scenery indexes (see here) and try again.

Thanks!

I have the same issue. Tried all solutions you proposed but none have resolved the issue. When selecting my spawn location in free flight mode, I also seem to have duplicate stands, which suggests MSFS has not removed the default airport after installing the iniBuilds version. Any further ideas?

The airport is is not compatible with Asobo Handcrafted/World Update versions (none exist for EGGW), or any other 3rd Party Scenery versions of EGGW (Freeware or Payware). However the "default" base EGGW is not a conflict nor needs to be uninstalled.

If you are talking about duplicated stands on the World Map and use GSX Pro, try to exclude jetways for EGGW from the FSDT Installer.

I would also try to run an empty community folder with nothing but iniBuilds Luton in it, to rule out conflict against other 3rd party content.

To run with a blank community folder without uninstalling any addons:
1. Rename your existing community folder to ``_Community``
2. Create a new ``Community`` folder in its place.
3. Copy only the ``inibuilds-airport-eggw-luton`` folder inside it.
4. Run the sim and see if same problem persists.

If the problem is gone, then there is a potential conflict in your existing community folder, and you will have to rule out which one via trial and error (obvious conflicts would be mods that affect EGGW, or terrain or BGL files such as GSX)

When you are done testing, then you can close the sim, and restore your original folder as follows:
1. Copy the ``inibuilds-airport-eggw-luton`` folder back to ``_Community``
2. Delete the new ``Community`` folder you made
3. Rename the ``_Community`` folder to ``Community``

Thanks!

Thanks, I'll try with a blank community folder. However, the EGGW I use is not in the Community folder as it was purchased via Marketplace. I don't have any 3rd party or Asobo EGGW airports but I do have all world updates installed.

I'll also try manually excluding GSXY Pro jetways manually but what's more concerning is that it should automatically disable jetways for all 3rd party airports, which it didn't do in case of EGGW but did for all other 3rd party airports in the past. Which also suggests somehow EGGW is invisible in certain aspects...

That is something you'd have to take up with the FSDT, but I reckon it might be due to the Marketplace encryption. Unsure if it can automatically recognize such airports compared to those in the Community folder (i.e. unencrypted).

That being said, we have tested EGGW for PC (both Marketplace & iniStore versions) with GSX and latest World Updates and it is fully compatible. You may also download the custom GSX profile for EGGW from the iniManager.

Thanks!

Thanks for the ideas, GSX Pro was the culprit. After disabling GSX jetways for EGGW, the issue was resolved.

Good to know, thanks!
