I'm designing my first airport using Airport 2.60, and am having a couple of
strange problems:
First, the scenery objects disappear at much less than the max vis distance
they supposedly have (like about 1 mile vice 20 km), and it seems like the
distance lessens even more as I add more objects. This seems like it might be
a memory limitation somewhere. Is there a way to correct it?
Also, my runways have edge and threshold lights even though I selected "none"
when building the runways.
Finally, does anyone know of a good barbed-wire fence out there? Finding none,
I shrank and repainted an antenna black, and built lines of them for fences.
It looks pretty good, but I suspect it might have to do with the first problem
I mentioned (also, I haven't figured out how to keep them from lighting up at
night....).
Thanks in advance for helping out a rookie!

I assume that you are designing for FS2K. Then your disappearing objects
problem is due to FS2000 which limitates the visibility of objects which
use a low scale factor 0.1 and lower.
You can read the 3D-tutorial on http://www.combatflight.de about that.
Check the "errors and debugging" section.
There were some fence macros uploaded to the file libraries here. If you
search for "API macro" in the "search file libraries" section, you should
find some.
