How do I go about making a sloped runway or for lack of better words a runway with slight grade.If I picked a stock scenery area that already has a slight upgrade it seems like I could create a flatten rectangle using a different altitude at each end, but then how do I lay down a paved runway on top of the flatten? would appreciate any help/jd

I havn't really looked into it, but I assume you could create a runway object with a hardened surface using GMax or FSDS. FSX runways, placed with ADE, cannot be sloped. That also goes for taxiways.

thanks for your response-Am I correct in thinking to forget the runway until a better way is found and instead make a taxiway which I believe follows agl and widen the taxiway to suit and with thatI could have a choice of surface?/jd

As I stated in my reply, taxiways as well as runways will display at the airport elevation and will not follow sloped polygons. I have made a few airport sceneries with sloped taxiways and ramps into the water for amphibious aircraft. The only thing that will follow the contour of the ground is road vectors (not a great taxiway). Creating an object with FSDS is my method for sloped surfaces on which aircraft can travel.

Hello:The OP might wish to review this thread for some info on making a sloped flatten and draping a textured vector polygon on it (ex: a "road" texture): :( http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21969&highlight=sloped+flattenPS: Thanks for the great example via your nice scenery package, Art ! :Applause:Hope this helps ! :( GaryGB

Art-my apology for missing your first post about taxiways and GaryGB thankyou for the link-so between you both making finally getting an understanding and making progress/many thanks JD :(
