My name is Gerry and I could need some assistance with a unique problem with my system.I have a "spike elevation issue" for certain airportsi Alaska, Yukon and NWT.
I suspect that I downloaded a file or files that are causing this elevation problem. I do not know if the problem is related to: Mesh ? LOD's ? or what.
I looked in my Scenery library for specific files...I have deactivated some files but no positives results yet....
Thank you to anyone that could help me out with my situation. :)

Your "problem" certainly isn't unique...(in FS 2004)...

It affects most of us, and is due to conflicts with scenery Mesh, particularly any Mesh that we have added ourselves to the default scenery.
It can be visible in the elevations of certain airfields (runway often in a hole!), and can result in mountainous spikes in the scenery. It can also affect water and land elevations in coastal regions.

Its quite rare, and I generally put up with it.. ;)...!

Greetings Paul :P
Thank you for your response and input !!  Being 69 yrs old I honestly do not have the know-how to solve my problem and as you suggest I will simply LIVE with it.
To you and your loved ones I wish you a Merry Christmas and the best of health.
Gerry ;)
