My home airfield in a valley (non existent in real world)

Featured Replies

I'm real world pilot, when flying in the sim around my home airfield (EPWS) if discovered strange height perception when on approach. I was way too low over the surronding terrain, buzzing over homes. Then I realised, that the airfield (unlike the real world in which the field surroundins are flat) is located in ca. 200-300 feet deep valley. Probably issue with mesh vs. airport refernce height.

By the way - no parking spots at EPWS, so isssue with starting cold & dark (you can choose only the runway as the staritng point). Moreover - in real world the field has 3 runways (if you count both directions - 6). The main one is marked with white squares on the grass - only this one is depicted in the sim.

Join the club mine is totally inaccurate obviously from outdated data...
