P3Dv5HF2 progressive taxi flying at the reference altitude of the airport

Post by mpni »

Hi,
P3Dv5HF2 progressive taxy arrows flying at the reference altitude of the airport
I made a scenery with sloped airport.
When using ATC and the "turn on progressive taxi option" all the arrow are flying above my aircraft.
They seems to be at the reference altitude of the airport.
Can I fix that myself?
Best regards.

Thanks for finding this, we'll create a ticket to fix it.

I don't know if there's a way to fix it yourself as those arrows are probably generated using the reference airport elevation like you said. You could make it lower if that ref elevation is wrong, or could be changed but then if it's too sloped some arrows might be underground.

On all sloped airports, when a runway or an apron is below the reference altitude of the airport :
- Progressive taxi arrow fly at the reference altitude of the airport
- Ground Poly fly at the reference altitude of the airport
- Helipad texture fly at the reference altitude of the airport
