    Airport missng taxiway

    Back in the day a guy named Randy Randell (passed awhile back) made me a custom airport and it functions fine in FSX and did so before in P3D V3.4 - I just notice an issued with this airport in P3D
    where some of the taxiway pavement is missing (The yelllow stripes are visable) and I can't seem to figure out why. Any ideas? Yesterday, I had other issues with my P3d but managed to sort them
    out. Wonder if there is a settings in P3d that is at fault?

    This is in P3d V3.4 - the missing pavement was previously visible in P3d but not blotted out. The stripe marking for it is still there.




    Same view in FSX - The pavement is visable.

    Ah yes I saw that happening a few times.
    It could be linked to your local mesh, if any is installed. If not, then it could be your terrain mesh resolution setting in the sim options. Basically, your taxiway is just a little bit underground

    I had this same problem when I started porting over scenery from FSXA to P3D3 and P3D4. You're going to have to use Airport Design Editor, ADE for short (my version is 01.70.6042.17483. You can download the latest version of the software here:

    Thanks all for you help; I stumbled on something that was relevant to my issue

    https://scruffyduck.screenstepslive....default-values

    It's resolved now. Perhaps as you was writing your comment(s) , I stumbled on this:

    Now the taxiways are visible: Had to use ADE to set the draw flags for the taxiways. It's all good now.


    Edit: I think our links to the fix are essentially the same. Appreciate your help - Learning new stuff all the time.

    You got some good advice Gray Eagle. I had to reset every draw flags for all the airfields in my Marianas 1945 to be released soon for Prepar3D v4. Sure glad that was all it was. My problem now is the total upload is 1.2 GB. Have fun with your airfield in P3D v4.

    Thank Tom
    Actually, I am still using P3D V3.4 - Got this when V4 was within 3/4 months of release. Oh well. I like it better then FSX but I have FSX installed on another
    drive.
