Actually, it was not funny.  It nearly caused me to tear out my hair and I don't have much.  

 

Using the default runway/taxi area in my home airport, I built my own airport using the default tools (no OSM) and everything seemed great.

 

Upon landing and turning off onto the first ramp (off 34 KROA if anyone is interested) I stayed in the middle of the ramp and very shortly after entering the main pad, the aircraft hit a wall - invisible.  

 

The only changes I had made was taxi lines so I removed them and, on the first landing after that, thought that had fixed the problem, but the next landing proved I hadn't.  Nothing there, but a crash.  I found that if I hugged the left side of the ramp, it wouldn't do it.

 

After hours of trying to figure it out, I found that one of the points in the line drawn on the side of the pad (taxiway) was one of those with a arrow-dot-arrow (don't know what you call them).  I highlighted it and removed it and the problem went away.  Seems there should be a separate command to install (or not) these trouble-makers. 

 

I hope this might help someone if they have a similar problem with WED.  I don't know enough about the program to know why these things just randomly show up, but this one was a default one in the program and it really caused a problem.  I'm sure there are many others around the X-Plane world causing similar problems for my friends.

Hi John,

 

You not alone, many months ago same thing happened to me. Very strange feeling, taxing along and all of sudden a crash and smoke. Also took me some time to figure it out.

the arrow-dot-arrow you mentioned is a node to initiate a Bezier (sic?) curve if memory serves correctly.

 

I guess one should investigate the mantis bug reporter for WED and see if its been reported, or if it even is a bug or maybe a stupid move on our part.

r if it even is a bug or maybe a stupid move on our part.

 

In my case, stupid probably applies!   :unsure:
