Strange Problem

[dexthom]

After loading FSX and selecting Vancouver and a parking slot to begin, I appear at the parking spot but my aircraft is approximately four meters above the tarmac.  If I then
select another airport, the position of the aircraft remains above the tarmac.  If I begin my first flight at another airport and then use the go to airport function and
select Vancouver, I arrive there on the tarmac and all is well.  The terrain settings in my FSX Config are:

[TERRAIN]
AUTOGEN_DENSITY=3
DETAIL_TEXTURE=1
IMAGE_PIXELS_FOR_AUTOGEN_POLYGONS=1024
LOD_RADIUS=4.500000
MESH_COMPLEXITY=80
MESH_RESOLUTION=23
SWAP_WAIT_TIMEOUT=2
TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_BUILDINGS_PER_CELL=800
TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_TREES_PER_CELL=700
TEXTURE_RESOLUTION=29
WATER_EFFECTS=6


Any ideas??

Try the attached file, put it into the FSX\Scenery\World\Scenery folder, and see if it makes a difference.

That did not help.  I then selected a saved flight a CYVR and all was well.

Ok, that at least proves the problem doesn't have anything to do with CYVR, but it's another scenery you have in conflict. The small .BGL should have fixed the issue of the different behavior when starting a flight or arriving there, but if that hasn't fixed it, it means the conflict is caused by another scenery.

Most likely an AFCAD for the same area, possibly even not strictly related to CYVR, there are some free scenery of the embedded seaplane base, for example, that should be removed.

I will check it out.  Thank you for you help.
