October 31, 20205 yr Landed at Nashville Intl (KBNA) last night and noticed a fun little quirk. As I was taking to parking, I noticed a bunch of traffic (cars, not airline equipment) that appeared to be on the actual taxiway. As I got closer, I noticed cars going by right in front of me. Made it to the gate and shut down. Found out there is a highway that runs underneath the taxiway between the runways and the terminal/parking. Noticed today when I took off that the cars actually appear to start to go under the taxiway but not quite. Just one of those quirks when you're using satellite imagery.
November 1, 20205 yr Yes, this happens at a number of airports which have roads underneath the runway. Same issue, I suppose, as cars driving under bridge models.

November 1, 20205 yr It's worse on taxiway G at CYOW. The road is below grade as it goes underneath the taxiway. Unfortunately, the taxiway dips to the road level then back up. Quite the ride. ...jim ASUS Prime Z790-E, Intel i9 13900K, 32Gb DDR5 Ram, Nvidia 3090 24Gb, Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500 GB and 1 TB, Samsung Odyssey G9 Ultrawide 49" G-SYNC Monitor.

November 1, 20205 yr I had this happen with Taxi2Gate's KSTL, Lambert St Louis Intl. in FSX and FSX SE. Had to add an exclusion to block the traffic. The highway traffic was across 11/29, which also has a tunnel under it. Has anyone landed on 11/29 at KSTL in MFS? Have no idea how to add an exclusion in MFS.

November 1, 20205 yr However, across the river at CYND there is a huge radio tower right in the middle of the runway.

I found when I picked a gate at the back of the terminal. It's been a while though (release version) so not sure if it's still there. I should check it out... Haven't been over to CYND yet. Will have to check that out as well. I also found a control tower right on the runway at the approach end of 33L at CYYZ. Haven't been back for a while, so again not sure if it is still there... ...jim ASUS Prime Z790-E, Intel i9 13900K, 32Gb DDR5 Ram, Nvidia 3090 24Gb, Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500 GB and 1 TB, Samsung Odyssey G9 Ultrawide 49" G-SYNC Monitor.
November 1, 20205 yr I went CYOW this morning and taxied around in the Icon. There was a good dip where the road crossed the taxiway. I tried turning and following the road and it was violent enough to flip the plane. I've never noticed the issue at YYZ, I'll have to look next time I'm there.
