Apart from the lack of aircraft available, this is one of the reasons I dumped CFS3 just a week after getting it.
Unfortunately I wasn't patient enough to find out what the prob was - hopefully someone will know.

B4 I forget - have u added any scenery?

[glb]Thanx. Carl[/glb]

yes 46 designs scenery Ver.3
an NEK if that counts, but I think this was a problem even before

What are your system specs? Did you get the latest video card drivers?

Tried to duplicate the problem but did not know what airfield so I used Alconbury.







Just two suggestions.

Tried to duplicate the problem but did not know what airfield so I used Alconbury.

It happens on all airfields and all aircraft but,

After exactly 6 hours 28 minutes and 56 seconds(I got 56k) I finnally finished dloading Dogpatch Crews Korea for CFS3 and all the runways work fine in Korea (even though the installer gets most of the files from CFS3). So its not a driver or card issue

ps. I think somethings lodged in my F-86 it looks like a lightbulb or something




btw. you might want to get the Korea missions for CFS3 if you haven yet over at http://www.sim-outhouse.com/~dakota93/pages/base_ops.shtml its like a new CFS3 highly reccomended

>>>btw how did you know the distance to the airport<<<

The same way we measure the exact performance of our planes in the game real time & make all those pretty graphs shown in the other thread, Special tool sets, don't ask  ;D

I had the same problem and after some searching found a fix. Open teh compositetexturebudgets.xml file in notepad, you will find it in the terrains folder in the terradata.zip folder, just copy it ot the desktop then open it. (BACK IT UP FIRST) under the setting for slider position 2 thru 5 you will see a section that looksl ike this:

       
           
           
           
           
           
by changing the Usemips="y" to Usemips="n"  It fixed teh problem for me and the terrraindetail ring looks smoother with no more phantom airfields.
