I have never seen a sign like that in the US.
A lot of the building have names on them. And I think
some of the airport buildings have real names.
In NYC the Met Life building has its name on it.

It would make an interesting thread to see how many
real

The runway is obstructed by the ground textures in some places. (Eg. Cannon AFB (KCVS))

You can't easyly fly at FL360 the jumbo or bombardier,lear has to strugle a lot,like if there weren't enough air to hold as a real life that altitude...

Huh?

In my experience, they fly fine at 360-you just have to use a very shallow VS (1,000 FPM or less) to get them up there.

..I just love to fly gliders in FS9 and there are some superb examples, but am a bit put out at times when ATC after giving me landing clearance says "go around".....in a GLIDER?  ::)

Why not?, I'm sure a 747 pilot won't mind sitting on his nose, hitting full thrust and giving you a nice big thermal . . . . .

lol....G.M..even I am not daft enough to land a glider where that is likely to happen.....747s wouldn't be landing on 200 metres of grass...........or maybe you would  eh?...commoner  ;D

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet in this run down of mistakes as I don't have time to read all 10 preceding pages.  MS also made a few scenery blunders as far as routings for major highways and significant buildings.  As in buildings significant enough for VFR landmarks.  In my own area, Harrisburg, PA they have interstate 81 routed along the top of Blue Mountain on the south/west side of the Susquehanna River just beyond the bridge.  I-81 travels along the very foot of Blue Mountain, not on the top.  They also have several Broadcasting masts in that area positioned wrong.  About 60 miles further north of the aforementioned location is a very large coal burning power plant just north of KSEG, Penn Valley at Selinsgrove, PA.  They have this very noticeable 4 stacked power plant located on the east bank of the Susquehanna River and it's actually locaed on the west side.  There's no reason MS should have anything wrong in their home country.  Especailly the correct routing of Interstate Highways and widely used VFR landmarks which the power plant I mentioned just happens to be.

yeah, been mentioned... its OK though. we werent really counting scenery mistakes, because they are EVERYWHERE... I cant even find the highways in my area. There is a way to fix it though- theres a payware add-on called USA roads that is supposed to place all of the roads in the US in their proper places. I dont have it yet, so I couldnt tell you how good it is.

[Gary R.]

Well, I know many people have undertaken to correct scenery faux paus in many areas.  I know someone had made a correction for the Selisngrove, PA area just north of me like I mentioned before.  Never bothered with it because it requires Flight Sim Scenery Enhancer to work and I don't have that particular add-on.
