I had this problem too before. Do you use UT Europe? - if you do that is the cause of it, well it was for me. I had to ensure that UT EU was listed in scenery cfg after LEMD. After putting LEMD above UTEU the area returned to normal.

Hadnt noticed they changed it untill now, was about to buy their 1900D - but wont be now - was $15.00 now about $20.00 - why would a company put the price up of an "old" product for everyone - not just US customers? - other than to make money!. I would have bought it in USD converted to GBP (a bargan at todays exchange rates) even in EUR it would have not been a lot - value for money for what the product is.PMDG, this customer has just walked out the "store" without buying due to your unjustified price hike!.

Rick,You can only pre order the product at the moment - its is still in production.Richardwww.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

>Curious--what happens if you set your system date back...>>-JohnJohn,It works fine if you set the date back to the 30.11.2006 - in fact any date prior to the 1.12.2006Its a shame the author chose to do this, but at least it can still be used.Richard

Luis,Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. I had a sneaky feeling that I would have to "cut a hole" for the runway, may be the easiest solution. I guess one day all of the FS mysteries will be revealed - who knows.Once again many thanks for your help and suggestions and I will probably run with your first option, unless someone knows an easier way for a newbie like me.RegardsRichard

Hi,Thanks for the reply - that was one of the first things I checked and every thing is at the same elevation both in sbuilder and afcad. The only thing I have established is that it is only textured polys that are affected. If I use the "built in" textures via LWM or VTP2 the afcad generated runways etc will layer on top. Maybe that is how it is meant to be?CheersRichard

I am a newbie to scenery design and so far have got to use and I think understand SBuilder. I have succesfully managed to use it to create a base of an airport using an aerial photo. In my wisdom I thought by using SBuilder to do the ground work and either SceneGenX or AFCAD to create at the very least the runway lighting. Well with all the will in the world i cannot seem to get the runway lights to show up, they are like hidden underneath SBuilders bits. It would be nice if the runway/taxiways would layer ontop of the photo. I would be grateful if someone could help point me in the right direction.Many thanksRichard

DamianSuccessfully downloaded ASV last night (2200hrs GMT) A little slow but not a single hitch. Been with the program since the early beta days and knowing the superb quality you put out was more than happy to buy the full program rather than the update.A big thankyou to you and the team.Richard.www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

It looks good Damian -thanks :-yellow1Richard

DamianGreetings - at last managed to get to log into the Avsim forums (small cookie problem! - a bit underdone) plus at long last employed again :-jumpy Just to let you know that so far all has been well with AS2004 on my system since I last mailed you. I only get the odd bit of "wild winds" these days and little to no cloud popping and pretty smooth transitions. Fortunately the sudden drop in KIAS has gone... FSUIPC cured that one. I wish I knew what I did to get round it - just did a load of tweaking and seemed to have suceeded within reason.I have attached a copy of my AS2004.ini/FSUIPC.ini file settings for anyone who wants to try them who is haveing problems - it may help -, but I think FSUIPC may have a part to play too, plus I have set my "TurbulenceScale" to 0.200000 in FS9.cfgLook forward to the update when it comes along, take it easyCheersRichard.//AS2004 configuration file[General]WindowPosX = 20880WindowPosY = 6705DefaultWeatherFolder = E:FSCOFModulesActiveSky2004SuppressionCeiling = 2000SurfaceWindLimit = 10CloudLayerLimit = 5LocalSuppressionRange = 80OnlineUpdates = TrueExtendedDestinationWindsForce = FalseGlobalWrites = TrueVoicePlayback = TrueLocalSuppression = TrueStartupSound = TrueUseProxyServer = FalseFogLayerGeneration = TrueUpdateSuppression = TrueOvercastEnhancement = TrueRouteWindSmoothing = TrueLimitSurfaceWinds = FalseLimitCloudLayers = FalseDisableUpperLayerGeneration = FalseVisibilitySmoothing = TrueDisableMessages = TrueAutoTimeZoneDetection = TrueUpdateInterval = 15VATSIMData = FalseZuluConversion = 0TAFProcessing = FalseWakeTurb = TrueStartPaused = FalseUseSystemTime = TrueDisableCAVOKClouds = FalseProxyAddress = NONEFSUIPC.ini =[General]History=KL7OL3G1LV7P417RFUM6QWindSmoothing=NoWhiteMessages=NoThrottleSyncAll=YesGraduatedVisibility=YesLowerVisAltitude=6000UpperVisAltitude=25000UpperVisibility=6000GenerateCirrus=YesWindShearSharp=NoUpperWindGusts=NoExtendMetarMaxVis=YesPatchSimApAlt=YesAutoClearWeather=YesExtendTopWind=YesWindSmoothness=-20SmoothPressure=YesPressureSmoothness=20SmoothVisibility=YesVisibilitySmoothness=20MaxSurfaceWind=0WindLimitLevel=200WindDiscardLevel=400WindAjustAltitude=NoWindAjustAltitudeBy=2000MinimumVisibility=0MaximumVisibilityFewClouds=0MaximumVisibility=0MaximumVisibilityOvercast=0MaximumVisibilityRainy=0OneCloudLayer=NoThinClouds=NoThinThunderClouds=NoCloudThinness=1000ThunderCloudThinness=10000CloudTurbulence=NoCloudIcing=NoWindTurbulence=NoSuppressAllGusts=NoExternalOptionControl=YesAutoTuneADF=NoMagicBattery=YesKeepFS98CloudCover=NoRudderSpikeRemoval=YesElevatorSpikeRemoval=YesReversedElevatorTrim=YesAileronSpikeRemoval=YesShowPMcontrols=NoTrapUserInterrupt=YesNavFreq50KHz=YesClockSync=YesSmoothIAS=YesSetVisUpperAlt=NoVisUpperAltLimit=6000SuppressCloudTurbulence=YesSuppressWindTurbulence=NoSpoilerIncrement=512TCASid=FlightTCASrange=60TrafficScanPerFrame=10AxisCalibration=NoCentredDialogue=NoClearWeatherDynamics=YesOwnWeatherChanges=NoFixWindows=NoFixControlAccel=YesWeatherReadInterval=4MoveBGLvariables=YesMainMenu=&ModulesSubMenu=&FSUIPC ...MaxIce=0[JoystickCalibration]FlapsSetControl=0ReverserControl=66292MaxThrottleForReverser=0AileronTrimControl=0RudderTrimControl=0
