Tower View - Logan

[Deviant]

At Logan International Airport in Boston, every time I switch to the tower view, my view is obstructed.  Sometimes by a building, but more recently it's all brownish green, like I'm right behind the vegetation of a tree.  No matter where I am - taxing or going down the runway.  I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem at Logan.

No problem on mine.  If I cycle to the next tower view, I get mud, but if I cycle back to Logan, it's all good.

You try zooming in/out?

[Boikat]

I tried that too.  Even at minimum zoom, I get a clear view from Logan tower.

No. when I "cycle through" tower views, I mean using the "A" key.  That cycles you through the next closest tower.  If you are in an area with several airports, relatively close by, you will cycle through them all.  Logan appears to only have one nearby tower (I forgot to jot down it's number) but it showed up as "mud" until I zoomed out and saw that there's a hill between it and Logan Itnl.

Get rid of tower view because it's junk?

[Boikat]

Why?  I like the tower view.  It gives a good vantage point to watch "fly-bys" in replay.

Tower view is the best view, especially for RC (Radio Controlled) guys, but I can understand the problems with most tower views at airports as for some reason they default to ground level when the actual tower is at least 30+ feet up.
For my favourite airfields, I load the file into AFCAD2 and raize the tower view to 100 feet
