Hey y'all -- was flying to Madrid's Barajas airport -- and in my FS9, the airport is on a 2000 feet tall mesa -- as are a few lakes enroute.  Most weird.  Any ideas how to fix this?

(If I were a pax on that plane, I'd be scuuuurred ... :-))

PS: It's been months since I've been on this forum.  I used to post as "iwannaflySC" --- but for some reason the might YABB won't recognize this username, even though I can browse to previous posts of mine.  What gives? Oh well ... new identity and all that ....

LOL... I've seen that effect elsewhere; Brazil in particular. No idea how to fix it, but I'm sure it's do-able.
Cool shots, and welcome back...

Actually, in this case, Microsoft got it right. I flew into Barajas the other day and was surprised to find that the only access to the airport was by cable car. Apparently they raised it by several thousand metres so that planes didn't have to travel so far up and down , thus saving fuel and making Barajas an attractive cheap place for low-cost airlines...

Wow -- that's really fascinating.
