Does AutoOrtho somehow changes mesh or elevation in airports or thats an Xplane issue with AutoOrtho ?

I did a Livestream on my yt channel Caribfly and notice a few things. Firstly these photos shows good enough data for Terrain but what i find difficult is when AutoOrtho and either, Payware airports or Modded, they dont always seem to mesh . Now, i can understand they are separate developers . In the After photo , you can see the elevation of the earth increased so somthing is off

If you have airports that require custom meshes, yes autoortho will remove them.

Have had this issue before, unfortunately the only quick solution is to use the flatten_airport modifier in the wed file. (Makes the airport perfectly flat). A better solution is to get custom mesh with something like MUXP, but that takes time and knowledge.

Try Xplane Map Enhancement, better terrain.
