KABQ Scenery problem

:think: Having a real problem with KABQ. Using default FSX scenery now and have taxi and runway markers (signs ) everywhere. On taxi ways in the middle of fields just all over. Have tried running FSX repair disk no luck. Also tried installing add-on kabq that got rid of the signs but gave me ground textures all over my taxi ways and runways. Also elevation problems. I am running Orbx Global and Vector and used the AEC tool which fixed the elevation problem but not the texture or scenery. Any ideas. I have checked for multiple KABQ entries and found none. Thanks.

I suggest that you check to see exactly which scenery is displayed first. This could be a result of incorrect scenery settings. As I have stated many times FS has a nasty habbit of puttimg any added scenery at the top of the scenery library. While this does not always matter it can in some cases.
If you find the ORBX file at the top of the list try putting them at the bottom. Now remember you have to change the numbering sequence of the files so that they are back in order again
BUT PLEASE BACK UP YOU FILES BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING.
Oh and by the way if you have installed ORBX you are no longer using default scenery. Now I doubt if it has replaced every single file in your library
But in your case you probably need to make sure that the ORBX is displayed last and not first.

My Scenery Library lists KABQ as #1 then all of my Orbx downloads. this didn't improve my scenery. Tried moving KABQ down below Orbx library files but no luck that way either. Also found some trees and buildings on taxiways and runway the cut through a housing complex. From a top down view everything looks ok except the houses and trees. Not sure where to go next. :-?

The other things you could try would be to first uninstall ORBX and see how that effects things. If the problem goes away than there is some kind of conflict with a scenery in ORBX and a scenery in your FS. If you still see the problem than there is some other addon that is not in the correct order or was installed incorrectly.
By that I mean I have downloaded scenery that includes what is called a FLATTEN command that you have to make part of the scenery that is downloaded. FLATTEN does just exactly what you think it does It flattens or clears an area so that when the scenery is installed it does not create a problem. Now from what I have seen it is not that often that you find scenery with a flatten command in it. Usually the result of an inexperienced person that does not know all of the ins and outs of scenery making.
The other thing you could do and I know this is going to be a pain in the rear but I would start with a fresh copy of default scenery. If you thought ahead you should have backed up your scenery folder before adding any scenery. If you did not do this than your only other option is to uninstall and reinstall FSX. If you have to do this back up your aircraft folder so you will be able to put back any downloaded aircraft.
Once you have a default scenery you should not have any issues in any ares than try installing the other scenery one at a time and check after each one is installed. This is the only way I know to find out what is causing your issues.
I wish you luck and hope you do not have to uninstall FSX as this can be a real pain for sure

Been there done that. Have everything backed up now. Will try uninstalling all Orbx downloads first. Thanks.
