I hope the title and description tell what's going on, but....

No matter what aircraft I'm landing, when I'm on a proper approach to Boston-Logan RW33,
Just about when I clear the threshold and throttle back and go to set down..........
Wham, I slam into the runway @ 600+ FPM.

I found a few threads elsewhere that describe this and it's because the airport is 25' higher than what??
There's no answer or solution I can find...

HELP! eek

Try 33R, it's elevation is correct! biggrin

But seriously, if you have FSX default weather, it may cause a sudden loss of lift on final or flare out at certain fields.

If you have add-on scenery for KBOS with ORBX FTX VECTOR, you may need to use their utility for airport elevation correction.
