Bituminus runway bounce ?

Featured Replies

Question for anyone that can help, in FS9, any runway i use with bituminus surface is completely unusable, using any aircraft i have, the planes just bounce and porpoise down the runway, doesn't happen on any other hard runway surface i have. Anyone have any clue how to fix this ? I would really like to fly out of several airports including Kathmandu, Nepal, but they are not usable due to this runway surface. This happens with the original FS9 textures, and Airport Environment Upgrade 6 textures also. Any clues or help would be appreciated.thanksPaul

Hi Paul.No solution for for you, but I concur that that is the way it appears to be in FS9. I built my own version of EIWT and used bituminous runways and taxiways and got a nasty case of the bounces... I changed them back to asphalt! The default LOWI is the same.No help to you, but at least you know it's not just your set up.Chris Kirk

You can use AFCAD to edit and change the type of surface to asphalt or concrete.Regards,japangg

Thanks to both of you for your reply, as suggested i used AFCAD and modified runwaysPaul
