Many of my local airfields are either up on a plinth or down in a trench - how do I fix this?
Airfield elevation issues in MSFS 2020, where airfields appear either elevated on a plinth or sunken in a trench, are typically a result of discrepancies in the game’s terrain mesh and the airport's elevation data. This can be influenced by the underlying geographic data used by the simulator or conflicts with third-party scenery add-ons.
Solutions to Consider
Asking for Details
To offer more targeted advice, could you specify whether these issues are with default MSFS airfields or involve third-party payware or freeware airfields? Additionally, mentioning the specific airfields experiencing these issues could be helpful.
Relevance to MSFS and X-Plane 12
While my response is tailored to MSFS 2020, similar principles apply to X-Plane 12 regarding updates and third-party add-ons. However, the specifics of editing and fixing issues may vary between the platforms.
Rectifying elevation issues can be challenging but is often solvable with a bit of troubleshooting and community support. If you provide more details, I can offer more specific advice. Remember, the MSFS 2020 community is a valuable resource, so don't hesitate to seek help there too.
