Changing the Tower view in FS9?

[gypsymoth]

The tower view in my newly installed Cloud9 Bergen is at ground level.  Can this be changed to be up in the air as it should be?
I installed John Stinstrom's beautiful free Penticton (CYYF) & that has a superb tower view.

an easy way to change the elevation of ANY tower is get AFCAD 2.2.1  ..... in this, open your AFCAD for your airport in question, and scroll in closer to the ground.  look for a pink T inside a pink circle. This denotes the tower.  right click and change the properties "height".  SAVE this change by clicking on the icon of the diskette.


Rename your original AFCAD in your ADDON SCENERY folder to XXXXXXX.BAK and replace it with the new one that you just saved.


go fly your airport and now your tower view should be where you put it.

if you need further help, let me know and i will be glad to take a look at your AFCAD and change the height for you.

With the FS2004 Bergen (Cloud9) enhancement the process is slightly different.

Their Afcad for ENBR is installed in the scenery subfolder of the Bergen entry and is named ENBR.BGL  - It is not in the Addin scenery/scenery subfolder.

Editing the file with AFCAD as suggested does work fine - I just did it and saved the edited file as AFD_ENBR_Opa.bgl - so I would know exactly which file I had worked on.

I saved it to the scenery subfolder of Bergen and disabled theirs by renaming it with a BAK extension (ENBR.BGL.BAK).

When reviewing your work, be sure to Create the Flight starting at Bergen from scratch rather than selecting the "previous flight" option as the old tower view is retained in the previous flight save.

Gorgeous enhancement !!

Once again - thank you.  That worked a treat  :D.
