floating planes

Post by echostar7 »

I know this issue has to do with different sims using different elevation data but I was wondering if this discrepency is normal at ksna. http://i.imgur.com/mfuz3yj.jpg

I am using hd global scenery, w2xp_america, KSNA - John Wayne International Airport v4 at signature 1 and I am about 49ft above sea level, every other plane I see on the map is at 60-61ft.

Multiple possible "causes" for this problem.

Different scenery is one possible cause.

Another is there's not "standard" between the sims for the aircraft zero axis origin. This comes into play when one person uses FSX and the other is X-Plane.

Baro setting won't effect it. Another cause is sloping runways in xplane being turned on or off. We recommend you have that feature turned off (requires scenery reload or a sim restart to take effect) and it should result in elevations being closer to everyone else.
