IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW
I have used shape polygens for the Airport area and the runways, taxiways and aprons. No standard apron, taxiway or runway texture has been used since they look less realistic and sometimes it looks like they're 'floating'...
This also created a problem I was unaware of:
When youre texture resolution is set below to 30cm or 15cm the runway, taxiway and the apron will dissapear. However, 7cm works on my system. This might not occur with you so please try different texture resolutions.
Parking
I was not able to add any parking places to the airport since FSX crashed everytime I tried to load the airport with parking places. Normal parking area is on both sides of the runway.
Runway textures
You will notice that the runway will not be displayed in the standard grass runway textures. The runway looks far more realistic and will, just like real grass runways, not stand out too much. Please notice that there is no winter maintenance and the runway will almost dissapear during snowfall (Fall and Winter periods in FSX).

Hi, what a pitty that this nice scenery is only working with 60 cm text resolution. I tried everything else (30, 15 and 7 cm) but without success. Would be nice if you could do something or give a good advice what I can do. I can't go to 60 cm because of some payware sceneries. Thanks Rudolf Aigner
