Airports and Mesh

Postby GunnerMan » Mon May 28, 2007 4:40 pm

Well it is a well know issue that the way FS renders airports is on a flat surface so when you have addon mesh some airports end up on a mesa or in a hole. Now my hometown airport is on about a 20 - 50 foot mesa on 3 sides. Most of the time I see an airport like this and it dosen't bother me because I will prolly never see it again so is there a way to adjust the elevation of the airport to better blend with the surrounding terrain?

Sure.....Sbuilder gives you all the needed tools to do that and then you just make a new airport with AFCAD or a similiar tool.

Ok I found the Sbuilder for FSX and it seems easy enough but when I change the airfields altitude and try to recompile it I get a message saying "the file could not be found"
