Thanks for posting the screenshots. The first one is an orbx issue. We have seen this several times for those that use orbx vector. The 2nd shot is an agn issue with missing our trees. Could be that ACM did not update or issue one is interfering with issue #2. So lt's work on issue #1. Let's try the following:
First, turn off (deactivate), orbx vector files for KABQ,: APB_KABQ.bgl, APT_KABQ.bgl, and AEC_KABQ.bgl. I do not own vector myself so I am not sure if this is done in FTX Central or an Vector screen or if one has to manually perform this. My beta tester on this subject is not available to confirm how to disable. See if that works.
Second, using in addition a 3rd party AFCAD may solve any other elevation or "spikes" you may see.
Sometimes the combination of the two steps above along with the steps below should resolve the issue.
The main culprit is the order in which simwestALBQ and FTX Global Vector is loaded. In order for the airport to show up correctly, ALBQ has to load on top of Vector. This has to be true, not just in the scenery library, but it has to be set up in FTX Central as well. If it is not set up in FTX Central, it does not matter how it looks in the scenery manager, Vector will still load on top of ALBQ. Here are the steps to ensure they are set up in FTX Central:
1. Start FTX Central and select the sim you have ALBQ and Global Vector intalled to.
2. In the lower left-hand corner of FTX Central, click on the "Settings" icon.
3. In the middle section of the screen you will see a section called "Library Insertion Point".
Right under that you will see a line that says "FTX entries should be inserted below:",
Click on the box directly below that. Your scenery library entries will show up.
Click on the line that says "simwestALBQ".
Below that is a line that says "openLC entries should be inserted below",
Click on the box directly below that. Your scenery library entries will show up again.
Click on the line that says "FTX"
4. Click on the "Save" icon in that box. (VERY IMPORTANT)
5. Exit FTX Central.
When you start your sim next, the ACM will run (it will run every time you make any change in FTX Central). Exit the sim and restart. The scenery should load up properly this time.
If the customer already has an addon for KABQ, he may need to run the AEC (Automatic Elevation Corrections tool) to correct any elevation errors caused by the other addon. To do this:
1. Start FTX Central, select the sim you wish to configure.
2. Click on the Global Vector icon in the middle section of the screen.
3. On the next screen, select "Control Panel" icon to configure this product.
4. Click on the "Airport Elevation Corrections" tab.
5. You can click on the "Run Auto-Configuration" icon to try to let FTX configure the addons properly. (This works MOST of the time, but not always).
After it completes, be sure to click on "Apply" at the bottom of the screen to save any changes (Very Important)
If, after running the auto-configuration the scenery still doesn't show up correctly, you can run this utility again, but instead of clicking on the auto-configuration, you will look at the lower part of the screen under "Manual Configuration". Just type "KABQ" in either of the boxes "AEC is enabled for" or "AEC is disabled for" search boxes. KABQ will show up under one or the other indicating whether it is already enabled or disabled. When it shows up in the search results, click on it to select it, then click on the "Disable >>" or "<< Enable" button to change it's status. Then click on "Apply" (Very Important), then "Exit".
6. Next time you start up the sim, ACM will run again because you made changes in FTX Central, just restart and see if it corrected the elevation. If not, check the scenery order in the scenery library for any addon which has KABQ scenery in it. This must load above Global Vector.
Here is a shot with Vector loading above simwestALBQ. Looks just like your shot:
And here is the same shot with ABQ loading above Global Vector:
All better. Once this is done and looking good we can take a look at the missing trees.
