  1. There is a dedicated P3D forum: https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/forumdisplay.php?80-Prepar3D -Pv-
  2. It's easy to find out which by temporarily disabling them in scenery library. -Pv-
  3. Even in FSX default scenery (prior to third runway construction completion) there is water there. -Pv-
  4. ^^^ Catch basin. It rains a lot in Seattle and the runoff from the airport area has to be prevented from flooding the high density neighborhoods in the area. You'll find these things in just about every Seattle neighborhood. The airport scenery being a detailed high density area tends to make this one stand out. -Pv-
  5. We live in an imperfect world. There are add-on scenery for specific airports which are usually better than supplied in packages. You would benefit from trying some of these. It's easy using the scenery library to force FS to use an airport scenery for a location rather than an underlying package or default. I use seafsx.zip for Seatac and knowing the area well myself, I find the representation accurate enough for my purposes. https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?searchid=37222797 -Pv-
  6. I have used other add-on scenery for SEA which does this properly (I have lived near SEATAC for years.) Looks like a conflict or a bad add-on or your mesh resolution is not set the same as the add-on. Try 10? -Pv-
  7. You have created two threads on the same subject. https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?288569-MAIW-Suddenly-Not-Working -Pv-
  8. I see you have linked to that article on the steamcommunity site. I also see FSUIPC has been modified for SE. -Pv- Tags: FSX FSX:SE Vatsim IVAO vpilot fscopilot fsinn client multiplayer steam
  9. I believe this thread got re-activated as a response to the Christmas Blues posted here: https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?285904-Interesting-problem -Pv-
  10. As you can see... Some find satisfaction in the visual details (scenery and/or aircraft fidelity.) Some find it in the procedure details and discipline (planning, navigation, ATC and checklists.) Some in the companionship (multiplayer- direct and/or virtual airlines.) Some in the imagination (what will happen if I do this or that?) Some in the adventures (tricky tasks, aircraft and destination combinations.) Some in the challenges of storms, visibility and unique seasonal weather around the world. Some in virtual vacations (see the world.) Some in reliving history. Some in flying skill (manual control, gliding, bad weather, difficult airports,etc.) Some in accomplishment (certificates, flight hours and badges.) Some in giving to the community (design and modeling.) Some in helping people with problems get more satisfaction out of the simulator. Some do combinations or ALL of the above as I do. Lastly, some in starting forum threads which never end. Something for everyone "a comedy tonight!" Forgot one: Military missions and formation flying. -Pv-
