airport runway floats above ground at hoxton park n.s.w

[jamesr]

Hi I have a problem with the runway at hoxton park sydney nsw floating above ground,I have just installed fs9 and thre are no add programs installed to cause problems,it looks as though there could be a bug in the program.I was wondering if any one had come across the same problem and if there is a fix for same.
I know there was a problem with flight sim 2002 regarding norfolk island being under water and there was a fix for it,so i was hoping thre might be one for this problem.

jamesr,

head over to my site at www.virtualvfr.com and there you will find under Tassim Downloads the scenery section. In there near the bottom of the list is a Hoxton Park scenery addon. Install that and see if it fixes your problem.

cheers

mate you will need to install the tree textures. go to www.virtualvfr.com and install the tree textures under the must have files section.

James,

I just thought I might add that you'll find quite a few errors in your virtual travels across Australia. You will also come across a fair few airfields (mainly unregistered ones) that completely lack runway textures. I have a suspicion that MS used some sort of automatic routines to create these types of airports, as they faithfully follow all the data in my ERSA, right down to the fact that the ERSA does not specify the runway surface - therefore there is no runway surface at all in FS9!! I would expect had they been done by hand, they would most probably have been checked to at least actually include a visible runway.

The easiest way to get around these problems is as benny suggests - see if there is a third party airfield upgrade. If there isn't, it only takes 5 minutes work to fix it up in AFCAD2, pending someone releasing a "proper" fix or a complete airfield upgrade. Even making the airfield work with AI only takes about 10 minutes per airfield. Missing textures also only take a few mouse clicks to fix up with AFCAD2 as well.
