Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus

I could exactly duplicate this altitude discrepancy phenomen 1625/1680ft at ZUUU with an add. airport scenery available at flightsim.com, file name fsx_zuuu.zip. Reading format within the FMC tool a prob? Just guessing.
The airport altitude from FSX default (w/o add. scenery) displays correctly.
