Looks like youve added traffic with maybe afcads that from the looks of it changed the height of taxi ways runways etc , was there flattens with the afcad or traffic addons youve installed that maybe youve forgotten to put in the world scenery folder ?
my first guess is traffic afcad related ..

Hmm, i dont know if it is traffic related, i dont use traffic because im always on MP, no need for it, but in that case afcads dont necessarily need traffic, so how do you correct it if thats the problem?

I'd agree with Mike, at any airport where the elevation has been changed (both of these) there needs to be a mini version of the AFCAD in Scenery\World\Scenery. The most common reason for not having these is if you backed up a particular scenery by just copying the scenery folder, and then used these to reinstall the scenery, rather than the original installer. In that case you wouldn't have the extra AFCAD because they are kept outside the backed up scenery folder.

Another likely reason is if you have an AFCAD designed for the default installed. These sometimes come with AI traffic packages etc, but you can't really use these AFCADs unless they are designed for the particular addon scenery.

If someone has TS3 here can they please talk me though how to fix the problem? No AFCAD came with the Norfolk Island scenery either, sorry for the lack of knowledge here, im only used to fixing aircraft etc.

4 NZPP id uninstall & reinstall from disc or download
4 Norfolk id source a afcad or other 3rd party files to fix and replace the afcad etc but it does sound alittle strange there is not a afcad and flatten in there seeing there is a model terminal which mite have just been using a default afcad i suppose ,from memory the guys at ozX mite of made a 3rd party airport for it and mite be available for download somewhere ,this could help maybe ?

so its kinda upto you to uninstall reinstall, source a new afcad/flatten or open it up in ADE and make a flatten poly etc though this just gets more complicated and i dont think your problem is much more than a simple file in the wrong place or a simple file missing .
im sorry i cant explain better as comms are out but i know Ian or Kade on TS should be able to explain abit more ..

Sorry I didn't include this earlier, but I've only just now been able to check this out. Here's the install instructions from the Norfolk Island manual:

QUOTE

Installation
1. Copy & Paste the “norfolk-island â€￾ folder into your FSX/Addon Scenery Folder.
2. Copy & Paste the “static-library-objectsâ€￾ folder into your FSX/Addon Scenery Folder.
3. Copy & Paste the "YSNF_ADX_GVF_ALT" file into your FSX/Scenery/World/Scenery"
Folder.
4. Activate the “norfolk-islandâ€￾ & “static-library-objectsâ€￾ as you would any new scenery in
FSX[/quote]

Step 3 installs the mini AFCAD. If you haven't done this, just find the file in the install zip file, and put it into Scenery\World\Scenery.
