My favorite gliderport to fly from in real life (79N, Ridge Soaring in Unionville, Pennsylvania, USA) is incorrectly located in FSX. The gliderport is placed about 300 yds too far NW. This puts the whole thing on the wrong side of the adjacent highway, and projects the airport part way into some nearby small hills. As a result, FSX incorrectly shows substantial cliffs at the NW airport boundary. It's starting to bug me. Is this something that's easily fixed (at least, in my copy of FSX)? If you are only flying gliders, have you tried Condor? It's easier to make your own scenery and the physics, towing, and weather (thermals) are better, not to mention the frame rates... and of course it's geared towards multiplayer racing which is fun. I used to fly in FSX but got frustrated with it's slowness and unrealistic weather patterns. Sure does look nice though, and good practice for instrument flying, etc. I may install it again and give it another chance. |

I think the same bug exists in the db of my Garmin Pilot III. The reference point is on the other side of PA Rt.220. Uli Neumann Libelle 'GM' |
