Of course this will be fixed in the forthcoming patch - right? Yeah, right!

There are two other another anomalies worth exploring, although i cant remember where they are (anyone?). There is a 60,000ft mountain peak in south america, and a 30,000ft deep valley in the mid-west USA. Dan Dan, The 60,000 ft tower is in Guyana, near Kamarang airport (SYKM) at N05 46.65 W60 34.16. Not only is there a 60,000 ft rock spire, but right beside it is a huge -100,000+ sinkhole! I like to slew a single engine Cessna up to the top of the spire, take it off of slew, and free-fall the 60 thousand feet. While I am falling, I guide the aircraft into the 100,000 ft hole and continue to free-fall for another 5 or 6 minutes. This would also be great to do using a virtual skydiver. The one in the midwest may be the one near Stockton Lake, Mo. It is near Stockton Muni airport (M03) at N37 33.81 W93 40.18. This little gem has what must be the absolutely largest waterfall in the solar system! Randy L. |

There are many, many airports throught FS9 World where the elevation of the general terrain did not match the elevation of the airport. A poster on the www.avsim.com site claims to have documented "several hundred" of such airports. Apparently there are tools in the Microsoft Development Kit for FS2004, which can allow you to "fix" specific terrain elevations. You might want to check out the posts in www.avsim.com for details (do a search on "elevation errors" or some such). |

I only check here occasionally, so please excuse me if this information has
already been posted. There is a FS 2004 fix for several of the FS9 scenery faults available on AVSIM, FlightSim.com and 3dsoftworks.net. It's called 'Six Default Scenery Fixes'. The beauty is that it will allow you to revert back to the default sceneries if you just want to have a bit of fun. Do a search and pick it up. It's freeware. "Randy L." wrote in message ...
