Title: Floating at KMEM P3D 5.3 HF2
Post by: Ither on January 22, 2022, 04:56:18 pm: I seem to be floating at KMEM with P3D 5.3 HF2, but no other airports.

I've reinstalled KMEM to see if that was an issue but it is now.

Any ideas what I could look at that would cause my plane to hover few inches off the ground?

Post by: Geddy_2112 on February 19, 2022, 06:10:13 pm: Any news on this? I see even the GSX vehicles are floating when called upon.

Post by: lamarvic on February 20, 2022, 08:10:05 pm: I do hope a fix comes soon. FSDT KMEM is unusable because of this floating issue above mentioned.

Strange because in my case GSX vehicles are OK (and then not aligned with the aircraft height) and AI aircraft too. Only the user aircraft is floating. The pushback truck was moving well on ground until it was locked to the front gear. At this time the truck has been elevated too.

Post by: Butch on June 08, 2022, 09:37:02 pm: I was about to ask if KMEM will function in P3D V5.3 but I see that it has some "floating issues"

Also, I have KMEM installed in P3D V4.5 - on another HD, do I have to uninstall it before I try to install in P3D V5.3 or is it possible to have KMEM installed
in both P3D V4.5 and P3D V5.3 at the same time (both sims are on different Hard Drives).

Thanks

Post by: PierreFSX on June 09, 2022, 04:21:19 pm: Hi,

I mainly fly cargo plane and Memphis being the main hub for FEDEX, I would really like the floating issue to be looked at and fix. This problem was reported 6 months ago.

Thanks

Post by: Butch on July 01, 2022, 08:59:21 pm: While people are "looking into" the floating aircraft issue at KMEM, I've managed to rectify the issue - at least for me.

Can you share what you did to fix it? It doesn't seem that the support team will ever look at fixing this problem :'(
Title: Re: Floating at KMEM P3D 5.3 HF2
Post by: Butch on July 03, 2022, 06:18:30 pm: I sent you a PM
Title: Re: Floating at KMEM P3D 5.3 HF2
Post by: PierreFSX on July 03, 2022, 07:40:17 pm: Thanks Butch,

I will try it shortly. I also re-installed the airport using the new installer, and I think it did fix the elevation issue. I still have some test to do. I will report back soon.

Post by: Butch on July 03, 2022, 11:22:44 pm: Although the "fix" will make the tires contact the ground, a lot of the concrete disappears. Back to square one I guess,

EDIT: I have to agree with one comment about this issue made at FS Developer

Title: Re: Floating at KMEM P3D 5.3 HF2
Post by: Butch on July 04, 2022, 02:31:33 pm: I noticed that when GSX is disabled, the floating aircraft will descend and the tires will come in contact with the ground with an simultaneous crash sound.
When I activate GSX, the aircraft will raise off the ground. Not Good!!!!!
Title: Re: Floating at KMEM P3D 5.3 HF2
Post by: PierreFSX on July 04, 2022, 04:07:32 pm: Unfortunately the re-install did not fix the problem, the plane is still floating in the air. see attach picture.
Title: Re: Floating at KMEM P3D 5.3 HF2
Post by: PierreFSX on July 04, 2022, 04:41:42 pm: I just did the GSX test and I am getting the same result, also when I disable GSX the airport scenery disappear. Not sure what going on? We need someone from FSDream to look at this. I did the same test at other FSdream airport and GSX his working perfectly. So it seems that the KMEM and GSX combination is the issue.

Post by: Sholay on November 16, 2022, 09:09:51 am: Is it fixed by now?
I am contemplating buying this scenery, but if it has obvious issues not fixed for several months, I am starting to wonder.
Especially since looks like KIAH also has this problem with little hope for a fix.
I understand that MSFS take precedence, but again - just look when this thread started with first issue report.

The way I solved this issue is to uninstall P3D Client for V5.3 and install the Client for V5.2. I had some visual issues with vegetation like splatter across the screen but that got fixed by installing ORBX Terra Flora V2 and Trees HD. It sounds complicated, but this will fix many airports that are bugged this way (such as Flightbeam KPHX and ORBX KTEX) and are probably not going to be fixed anytime soon, if ever. Version 5.3 broke a lot of airports in this way.

We'll look into that.

So is been a year since this issue has been reported, where is the solution from developer or statement about it? and yes Im aware about "P3D V5, we strongly suggest to download the Trial version before purchasing them".

Can't you spare a couple of days to rectify this? Seems like this could have been done many months ago. I know we're just simple P3D customers but still, customers none then less

Then why it doesn't happen if you go back to P3D 5.2 ?

There are issues with 5.3 and elevation which seems to be bugs in the sim ( sometimes stuff appear in the air for no reason ) and, since KMEM was never advertised as a P3D 5-compatible product, the Disclaimer on the FSX product page KMEM is located on, still stands:

Quote
Prepar3D Compatibility
While these products were originally made for FSX, they can be installed in all versions of Prepar3D, up to 5.1.

However, due to several changes in backward compatibility in P3D V5,some of the older products might shows some visual problems so, if you intend to used them in P3D V5, we strongly suggest to download the Trial version before purchasing them.
