• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSX Cannot get airport at the specified altitude (solved)

I am making a non-stock airport for FSX where a real gravel airstrip exists, it is coming along well considering it isn't photoreal.

However, The airport is according to the aeronautics web at 11.72 meters. Originally I was having a problem in that it appeared elevated in the air so I dropped it to 2 meters. Then I somehow fixed the issue.

In the new design I used SBuilderX with both an AB_MaskClass_Exclude_Flatten at 10.4 meters and an overlapping LC_Airfield polygon at 10.4 meters as well (the AB was showing in yellowish rather than green).

With FSX Planner I created the airport, and in it I set the Airport Data (ARP), runway altitude, start location altitude (two in runway one in helipad) to the same altitude as in the terrain tool (10.4 meters).

The problem is than after I deploy all the stuff and start FSX the airport (runway, vehicle paths and helipad) are all sunken at about 3 meters and then at some point AFTER the end of the runway it rises stepwise to 10.8 meters. Why is my airport sinking down and ignoring my flatten and airport data altitudes?
