July 19, 200421 yr Hello Gang!WHile trying to do a short hop from EHAM to Maastricht, I was cleared on to runway 18L for takeoff at EHAM. I went like a chicken with no head trying to find the runway until I figured out that the taxiway signs for that runway were not there. Even when I reached the runway threshold, I could not see a runway. After a while of tinkering, I finally decided to takeoff, and long and behold, as I was lifting off the ground, I came through the runway surface and I could see the runway from the air; the minute I attempted to land on 18L, I would sink below the runway and the runway surface would dissapear above me.Why would this happen? Is this the case of a bad AFCAD file?Thanks for any help again!Sincerely,Dennis D. Mullert Sincerely, Dennis D. Müllert System Specs: MoBo: MSI MAG X870 Tomahawk WiFi ATX AM5.

July 19, 200421 yr Dennis . Search for AFCAD2 2.24 by Lee Swordy. open the af2 file in that and check the scenery elevation and the runway elevation. If they don't agree, then change it. The Cessna 172 and 182 are 3 feet ( 1 Meter) off the ground. In slew mode (Y) you will see the elevation at the top of the screen. Deduct the 3 feet, thats what it should be. The runway and the taxiways.Joe w.
