Need help with tree removal P3DV6

[Patco Lch]

Can anyone tell me how to remove autogen trees from the middle of runway at Corn Island (MNCI) just of the Mosquito Coast of Nicaragua? This is a default airport using either default or photo scenery. Turning down the autogen to low doesn't do it and turning it off makes the island look scalped. Advice will be appreciated as long as you don't tell me to just buy a chain saw😂

Not sure if P3Dv6 has the same airport AFCAD format as previous versions but you could try doing this (see Link) - although it refers to v5 and an FSX airport creation, I can't see LM changing the format. In any case worth a try. https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/635638-removing-trees-from-runway-created-from-ade-fsx/

Were you able to get this problem solved, for some reason LM moved the MNCI runway in P3DV6 from where it was in P3DV5.  They did not move the airport background and this is what is causing the issues.  Looking at the some maps the runway was in the proper real world position in P3DV5, so not sure why it was moved.  If you need any help I can get a quick fix done for this.

What I found was by installing an old fs9 vintage freeware of MNCI the runway is corrected in P6D. Otherwise the default airport will put you in the trees and you’ll see a grass strip where the runway is.

There is a better freeware option available here Corn Island

I only have v5 but it works there without any adjustments and looks great.

P.S was too optimistic. I is necessary to remove default buildings in v5. The fixed complete scenery is available from my site.

@Patco LchThanks for inspiring us to look at this place.
