any ideas on how i can get the airport to flatten out? the wheels are sunk down into the surface from the AI aircraft.

Try putting a copy of the ADE/AFCAD/AFX BGL file (whichever it has) into the Scenery/World/scenery folder.

AI aircraft always stand, e.g. while parked, on the underlying default airport's apron and not on any visible addon or third party airport's apron. It's for this reason that any addon airport's visible aprons, runways, etc. MUST be at exactly the same elevation as the underlying default airport. Any difference will either cause your AI aircraft's wheels to sink into the visible apron/runway or will float above them.

A "flatten" BGL file at the addon or third party airport's elevation will correct this but editing the default airport's APnnnnnn.bgl file is also possible.

 

However, I would try Tom's suggestion first.

Try "jabbgl.zip" by Jacky Brouze. This tool fixes AI elevation problems. I have been using it since the day it came out. You will find it in the library...

 

Good luck

Jabbbgl modifies the default airport files, which is not useful if you release the airport to others. But it is an option for personal use.

nailed it with this. "editing the default airport's APnnnnnn.bgl file is also possible."

 

 

THANK YOU!! to all of you guys for the help!!

What did you use to edit the AP file? If ADE or AFCAD, you probably removed several other default airports from the sim. If jabbgl, you should be fine.
