Airports with highways running across them?

Featured Replies

Starting to see more airports that have cars flying across highways in the middle of the runway. Obviously, something is wrong. What needs to be adjusted? I have all the Ultimate

Terrain sceneries ( USA, Europe, Alaska) and all the GEX sceneries. Should something be re-arranged in my library? Let me know if you've seen this and have a solution.

 

Thanks.

There are no GEX sceneries. GEX replaces all the default textures for FSX. There is no solution that I know of but lowering the number of vehicles might help.

 

Best regards,

Jim

Look for updated airport files, lovingly referred to as "AFCADs" even for FSX.

 

Having worked many hundreds of airport files, I can attest that the error ratio to real life runs over 50%. Either wrong location or wrong elevation, a majority have a problem of some sorts.

 

 

I will also mention that some add-on scenery, large scale projects need to code a few roads as tunnels, so that traffic does not drive across the airport. Those instances should be brought up with the scenery developer so that they can implement a fix.

Yes, I know, Jim. Thought GEX was playing some role in the airport textures in some way. I think looking for new AFCADs might be the solution.

 

Thanks.

Meshman,

 

You were right....just did a test on Cherry Capital airport in Traverse City, Michigan. Before the new AFCAD I found for this airport, there was a major highway running across the runway.

Installed the new AFCAD I found in Avism Library, and the airport looks great. Highway GONE!

 

Thanks for the great tip.
